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!

Thank you @BarryKentPoet I know oat porridge is supposed to be slow-release, but I get the shakes about 1.5 hrs after eating it. It's better when I have it with chia seeds and peanut butter and no fruit or honey etc, but I might look into barley 🙂

AliasGrape · 05/01/2026 19:50

B - Piece of granary toast with butter, a satsuma
L - Couple of slices of leftover roast beef, then a bowl of Greek yoghurt (5%) mixed with a serving of the chocolate biomel powder, with berries, nut butter and pumpkin seeds
Snack - little slither of my Christmas cake - very little left now thank goodness I can’t resist it
D - Spicy chicken flatbreads with peppers, onion and carrot, sour cream and a homemade salsa

Husband is munching his way through the giant pack of sour sweets I put in his stocking and I think I might have to grab a handful shortly.

@Smittenkitchen Olive baguettes are my favourite. I always end up eating about half on my way home.

Yesterday -

B - tea with a splash of milk

S - coffee with milk

I realised when I started making dinner that I'd been busy with work and rushing around and had eaten literally nothing all day.

D - claypot shitake mushroom rice, Chinese marinated pork schnitzel, cucumber salad, rainbow chard with chilli sauce. Small brownie, clementine.

Today -

B - tea with a splash of milk

S - coffee with milk and a kiwi

L - leftovers from last night's dinner made as fried rice with a scrambled egg and spring onion, a ginger & yuzu kombucha

S - about to have a mug of potato, leek, kale soup and probably a small brownie.

D - will be tandoori chicken, dhal with spinach, cauliflower and either turmeric rice or naan, depending on how ambitious I'm feeling.

Toast with homemade humous and some cherry tomatoes and a cup of tea.

Some leftover vegetable stew I made on Sunday and needed using, served with a dollop of natural yogurt.

Cup of White tea and an apple.

Made a pot of earl grey tea about 4pm.

I'm going to the gym in about 30 minutes so will probably have some more fruit and some nuts before I head off and more water.

Dinner will be a homemade dal and some steamed broccoli and brown rice.

I've also drank a lot of water and will probably have some rooibos tea before bed and a little sweet treat as I have a lot of festive goodies still so might have a wee bit of chocolate or a mini mince pie.
