What did you eat today?
I love reading what people have (and getting new ideas/recipes).
My new year new habit is to have a side of veg with each meal (and eat it first).

Breakfast - Sourdough toast with soft cheese & bagel seasoning, side of cucumber/tomatoes,

Snack - Crisps

Lunch - Stovies with beetroot (traditional in my part of Scotland)

Snack - Christmas choc (trying to get through this)

Teatime snack - Bowl of homemade lentil & veg soup, a couple of crackers

Dinner - I am going to a pub quiz so will have a wee something to eat from their bar bites menu!

B - bacon sausage egg tomato toast 1/4 bottle cava
Tea - fruit cake lebkuchen shortbread, glass of port
Pre-dinner - G&T, peanuts
Dinner - roast beef, roast potatoes, carrot swede mash, sprouts, yorkies, gravy, wine

Considering day drinking as a lifestyle choice for 2026

One decaf coffee with oat milk
Two slices of Tesco lightly seeded bread, toasted with Anchor butter and a scraping of Marmite
Cup of tea
No lunch
Another cup of tea
Water
Jacket potato with butter, tuna mayonnaise and grated cheese on top

Homemade sushi for lunch at work, it looked great but fell apart as soon as I tried to eat it so I'm obviously not as good at sushi making as I thought.

Salt and pepper chicken stir fry for tea.

I am tracking all my food again after not bothering over Christmas so I think I have about 300 calories left after tea. I may have an ice cream or see how many calories are in a chocolate orange.

Breakfast - pepper, onion, mushroom and spinach omelette
Lunch - Butternut squash and chilli soup and grilled chicken salad
Dinner - Salmon burger with roasted courgette, pepper, onion, tomatoes and broccoli.

This morning I had a chocolate vegan protein powder shake with gut health boosting powder blend, chia seeds, flaxseed and walnut blend, frozen raspberries, frozen spinach and almond milk. It was way too cold for how cold it is! I still haven’t recovered!!

Dinner with my toddler - tomato pasta with cheese and peas.

Previously started a thread because I wondered if it was just me that found it doesn’t work, unfortunately I was utterly utterly ripped to shreds. I was made to feel like shit.

Been on it since August, 7.5mgs now.
Genuinely, if I go above 1000 cals the weight rapidly piles on. All blood tests normal.
Im peri menopausal which has COMPLETELY changed every single physical aspect of my being. Startling and scary.

Im keeping going with such hope though! The nausea reminds me very much of morning sickness, it’s one on its own. Very distinct.

This sounds a brilliant day.

Indulgent food day today!

This is a pretty normal day for me if you exclude the Christmas cake.

Today I'm living of soup and bread chicken noodle soup. Got tonsillitis so swallowing is to painful. Took first lot of antibiotics this afternoon.

That would be something I would do..which is why I don’t have any in the house.
