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!

B: Clear protein drink
S: Half a crunchie ice cream
L: Babybel lights with crackers
D: Chicken biryani followed by a mini chocolate pot

Not my healthiest day ever! Will eat a lot more veg tomorrow. We cleared out the fridge today and I’ll go shopping tomorrow.

Breakfast: porridge and Brown sugar

Lunch: tuna salad sandwich, coleslaw, hard boiled egg, blueberries.

Butternut squash soup with toasted mixed seeds, 2 baby-bel lite, an apple

Crispy chicken with sriracha mayo, rocket, avocado

I’m on holiday and mentally I’m struggling with not being able to restrict my diet as I have been previously. This is slightly worrying perhaps and shows my previous eating wasn’t right but I’m still so keen to get back onto my ‘diet’

Another couple of busy days!

Yesterday I had:

Lunch- Banana, protein bar, cucumber and carrot sticks with hummous (I had to take my baby to have her neonatologist review so I was trying to find something healthy-ish in the hospital cafe)

Breakfast: 2 soft boiled eggs on wholemeal toast with 1/2 avocado (I’ve finally cracked how to make the perfect soft boiled egg). Nectarine and raspberries.
Iced Americano with skimmed milk
Lunch: Spiced carrot and coriander soup. Salmon salad with sesame dressing.
Dinner: Leftover curry and aloo gobi. Slice of pineapple.

This all sounds delicious. I love chicken and sweetcorn soup, do you have a recipe you could share?

You can’t tell us you cracked how to make the perfect soft boiled egg and then not say how! Share, please 🙏🏻

Yesterday I had:
Breakfast: cereal and a few strawberries, coffee.
Lunch: ham and cheese baguette, apple, packet of ready salted crisps and a choc chip cookie from the bakery
Dinner: Thai massaman curry with chicken and sweet potato, jasmine rice. And a couple of glasses of rose wine.

Today-
Porridge, apple butter, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds
Lunch will be veg soup, a boiled egg, some oatcakes and an apple
Dinner will be the end of the vegetable pie, cabbage, green beans, raspberry crumble.

Bring water to a really vigorous boil (I turn the hob on as high as it will go). Add the eggs with a slotted spoon and then turn down the heat to a more gentle simmer (I turn it down to 5 from 9). Cook for 7 minutes then fish them out and run under a cold tap or put in a bowl of ice water.
Crack the shell and then run under the water again before peeling, the water makes it much easier to peel.
