What did you eat today?

[MumbleJumble123]

A few months ago there was a really fun series of threads where people listed what they’d eaten that day (and had a general chat).

I really enjoyed it but can’t find it anymore so I thought I’d start one.

It was really interesting and varied (it’s not a weight loss or judgy thread- unless the judgement is ‘that sounds delicious, what’s the recipe/where did you buy it?’). Everyone is welcome!

Today I’ve had:
Breakfast- Scrambled eggs, sautéed veg (tomatoes, red onion, spinach, mushrooms). And tea with milk.

Snack- Americano with milk

Lunch- Chicken salad (chicken breast, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, avocado, sesame dressing).
Followed by low fat Greek yoghurt with peanut butter, strawberries, nectarine and blueberries.

Dinner- Will be roasted salmon, homemade potato wedges, roasted courgette/tomato/onion/fennel.
Followed by a watermelon and lime ice lolly (I make my own so it’s just fruit).

I’ve just started weight watchers so it’s not the most exciting day (I’ve also tried to cut out UPFs as much as possible and use my points on high fat whole foods like avocado and nuts). I’m looking forward to living vicariously through other people’s treats!

I have realised from reading all these that I seem to have a terrible diet,

Today

2 boiled eggs and half a piece of sourdough toast with butter at about 11.30am

Water.
2 milky coffees with sweetener,

Then a Cafe Nero Cappuccino.

I then ate 2 boiled eggs mashed in Olive oil as a snack.

Another coffee.

A tiny piece of chocolate fudge brownie.

Dinner was a tiny portion of homemade need mussakka with a spoonful of salad and yoghurt.

Water.

Breakfast - kinder bueno

lunch - sausage roll and pizza slice from Greggs with a can of coke

a bag of shooting stars squashies - yes a bag, I’m due on 😄

dinner - Mediterranean chicken, rice, broccoli, carrots and sweetcorn

2 kiwi fruit
One boiled egg on 2 Ryvita
Blackberries and cream
handful of peanuts
2 glasses of Chenin Blanc
A shed load of painkillers

Yesterday I had a pork chop (I bought 4, it'll be all week I'm eating these!) a leek in cream sauce, cheesy mash, broccoli and asparagus.

One pot of mash for the fridge, another in the freezer.

Another nectarine.

My BMI is 23 and I'm a size 12 (I'm tall). This has been steady for 8 years regardless of what I eat! recorded by my asthma Dr who doesn't want me to lose any weight as I'm a bit old and delicate. Fine by me!

Greek yogurt with berries and nuts
Banana
2 coffees with oat milk
Tuna wrap
Protein yogurt
Then it all apart with takeaway pizza and a gin and tonic for dinner!

Yesterday:

2 x sourdough crumpets with butter and vegemite
Coffee
Pitta stuffed with roast chicken, mayo and cucumber
Half a red pepper
3 x tomato and mozzarella croquettes
Half a bag of cheese doritos
Polos
2 chocolate shortbread rounds
3 x diet coke
1 litre of sparkling water mixed with apple juice

So far today a ufit vanilla protein milkshake. Having a very, very bad pain day so it will be survival until dh gets home. Luckily I have a ready supply of mini cheddars and protein shakes.

dinner tonight is boring pasta night, this involves plain pasta and cheese for the fussy kids, pasta and sauce from a jar for dh and spaghetti with butter and Parmesan for me. Garlic bread not optional.

we have two meals of a weekly rotation, jacket potatoes and boring pasta, four nights are more varied and healthy and Sunday is frequently a roast. Saturday is usually steak or pizza from the pizza oven.

Yesterday-
mixed berries,10% Greek yogurt,walnuts and raisins

tuna pasta salad with mixed side salad

steak pie,mashed potatoes,carrots and kale
glass of wine

salt and vinegar crisps as a snack

I love these threads.

Yesterday was
B- two eggs on two toast
L- homemade mackerel pate on crusty roll, slice of Victoria sandwich cake
D- chicken & sausage casserole, mash and veg
snack- cheese roll
Loads of white wine

Not a great day for calories, trying to eat less today. I did run 5k though

Today I’ve had:

Breakfast: Iced Americano with milk (I did my run and swim first thing so wasn’t hungry afterwards).

Lunch: Homemade minestrone soup and a slice of wholemeal soda bread.
Fat free Greek Yoghurt with peanut butter and strawberries, blueberries, banana.

Snack: Apple

Dinner will be: ‘Lasagne’ with griddled aubergine and courgette instead of pasta. Green salad with balsamic dressing.
Roasted apricots and peaches with flaked almonds and a spoon of vanilla ice-cream.
1/2 glass of chenin blanc with ice.

That all sounds so delicious- pretty much my dream day!

I’m trying to do one meal a day, but it’s hard so end up on one meal and one snack.

Yesterday I had 1x crumpet with butter, tuna mayo sandwich, 8 Pringles, 1 bourbon biscuit.

Today I have to eat two meals as I’m out with family. lunch: 450 calorie delicious salad and will aim to do the same tonight.

Ive realised how much I don’t need to eat when I stop grazing. It’s ok to be a bit hungry.

This morning I tried making pancakes from an Instagram video I saw.
Packet porridge oats
2 tbl spoons cottage cheese
1 egg
Slash water. Blitz together.
Made 4 palm size pancakes.
Served with Greek yog and berries.

Still not hungry for lunch.

Taking teenager out for pizza this evening.

I’ve had today:

granola, Greek yoghurt and strawberries
fridge raiders
dairylea dunker
blue riband
battered fish fillet out of the freezer on its own with lashings of salt and vinegar

I intend to drink wine this evening and might skip eating (priorities)

Today I have had:

Greek yogurt and honey, coffee with oatmilk.

Salad, houmous and Ryvita.

Dinner will be homemade chicken biryani.

@MumbleJumble123 your dinner sounds fab!

Today:
Porridge with cranberries and some cooked cherries (my cherry tree has gone into overdrive this year after 5 years of nothing, and given me 6lbs cherries)

Lunch was pizza- there was some left over at work and it was going in the bin if nobody ate it, so for the sake of the planet I had to eat six slices. (Small, they were for primary children!) And it was worth it.

Dinner will be some veg soup, cinnamon-raisin soda bread and some courgette cake.

B- Greek yogurt, blueberries, frozen raspberries, honey, peanut butter, seeds

L- Sourdough toast with cottage cheese and vine tomatoes, some cherries

Mid afternoon- lentil chips and houmous

Lunch: chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and mixed salad leaves, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, pumpkin seeds and lime juice
Dinner will be: minced beef and sofrite vegetables with taco seasoning wrapped in lettuce leaves
So far I’ve had one decaf coffee, 750ml of water and a 500ml bottle of decaf Diet Coke. I’m about 5.5 stone over my goal weight (have already lost 2 stone) but disillusioned with diets so concentrating on logging calories and staying below 1400/day, whole foods and exercise

B ; yogurt with granola, fruit and white coffee
L: toast n scrambled egg
D: Baked potato with tuna and salad
S: cupcake and glass of wine

I didn't have the soup. I had seven cream crackers and butter instead.
