Or is this okay for a typical days food?

[CleanOnMe]

Breakfast: 2 slices of Seeded toast with sunflower spread and a tiny bit of marmite. A glass of fresh orange juice (fresh).

Or

Wheatabix (2) with a little skimmed milk and low calorie sweetener sprinkled

Lunch: Usually don't eat it, but if I do, two scrambled eggs or 1 avocado, sometimes on a Davina McCall cracker

Dinner: Vegetable rice with Linda McCartney pulled chicken (not real chicken), or pasta with Quorn mince and a light sauce

Snacks options: Banana, handful of fresh berries, a passion fruit

Does this sound okay? Anything I need to add/cut back on?

If eating out, I will usually order a kid's meal chicken nuggets with chips and a blue WKD or lemonade. Maybe a chocolate brownie and ice cream for desert, or sorbet. But I don't eat out very often at all.

I'm a very fussy eater and struggle to add more variety to what I eat

I can't believe that you breastfeed on that woeful amount of calories. I used to eat in the night when I was b'f ing. You've posted about your eating habits before - I remember the detail about the blue WKD. Are you trying to lose weight?

Sounds ever more like an eating disorder if BFing.

Yoghurts are a good source of dairy and I am saying full fat o added sugar yoghurt on your diet. Also maybe try and drink a glass of milk a day. No need for slimmed, semi skimmed will be fine.

Worried now I've seen you are breastfeeding.. You say you are not tall but how short actually are You?

Going against the grain - looks fine to me and looks very similar to the kind of things I eat?!

In fact I was going to say I'd skip the sunflower spread and sweetener

Apart from the kids meal when eating out (which you haven't said whether it's preference for the food on offer or the portion size?) I can't understand where the suggestions of an eating disorder are coming from.....

Sorry to be blunt.
I struggle with food (anorexia) and it sounds like the kind of day's food I was having when I started to restrict.
COuld you aim to have lunch every day and some more substantial snacks?
Good nutrient dense foods like nut butters, avocados, tahini, eggs, oats, olive oil, full fat greek yoghurt, chocolate, dried fruit etc would all be good choices for you.

if you react bad to dairy what about dairy free milks then you can have a larger portion on your weetabix make them less dry

You don't have all vitamins and minerals covered. I'm too tired to go into details, but I suggest you check your diet in an app that shows the vitamin and mineral content.

At a glance I'm pretty sure that you at least need more green vegetables (vitamin B), dairy (calcium) and fish (vitamin D) in order to have it all covered.

I can't understand where the suggestions of an eating disorder are coming from

Then you probably have one as well. It's not half enough food for an adult breastfeeding woman.

Well, I'd say there's probably about 1000 calories there. As a breastfeeding woman you should be having more like 2000-2500.

It sounds like you have a very rigid diet without much variety or 'fun' stuff in there. It's bordering on eating disordered behaviour.

Gosh where's the fun? Do you only go to out to places that serve kids nuggets and chips and wkd. I can't think of many restaurants where you even get that combo.

Today I've had:

Croissant
Coffee
Vegetable juice

Chicken salad
Crisps
Flapjack

Salmon
Spinach
Potatoes
Chocolate

I'd pass out if I only had what you're having.

Again about the dairy, I don't react well with too much in my diet and my DS does have suspected CMPI so I've recently replaced the low fat spread with sunflower vegan spread because it doesn't contain dairy. I am trying to get rid of the milk completely but DS seems worlds different without the butter alone. But even still, I should be giving dairy up completely so I'm trying to introduce different milk alternatives. So far I don't like any of them

I'm taking a Vitamin D supplement too.

I've said my goodbyes to having naughtier foods in the house. I can't eat sensibly with them there so I restrict them to only whilst out and about as the odd treat

I'm very happy with the flavours offered in fruit etc.

My first thought was that you were trying to lose weight and this was your calorie controlled diet plan. If that's the case then your food list is fine - if not - and particularly if you are breastfeeding - you need to eat a LOT more.

OP,
You breast feed ,how old is your DC ?

I'm fairly sure this has been posted before too, I remember the going out for dinner and eating chicken nuggets and chips and drinking blue wkd.

What's causing you to ask again?

Are you on a diet because it sounds like a diet... a restrictive diet. For example, is there a reason why you use low cal sweetener rather than a natural sweetening food... like fruit or honey? Do you have an issue with eating veg? I am not being judgy about that because I live with a veggie-phobe - it’s the texture for them - so I know that it’s a big issue for some. All in all, my gut instinct is that your relationship with food is not a happy one and I am no expert but you need to find a way to have a more nutritionally beneficial diet... more fruit and veg and more protein and fat (good fats, of course) as a matter of course not as possible extra snacks... Good luck OP

Sounds good but add a fruit and a veg

In fact I was going to say I'd skip the sunflower spread and sweetener confused

Ffs

I'm sorry to be unsympathetic but you just seem like you are being attention seeking. No it's not enough food. A woman should have roughly 2000 calories and if you are breastfeeding it should be roughly 2500. If you are normal weight average height etc you are under eating and potentially this will affect your nursing child.

If you can't bring yourself to eat more food or higher calorie alternatives then please see a doctor about your controlling attitude to food.

Is it possible you can't eat sensibly with 'naughty' (???) foods in the house because you're actually starving from eating 1000 kcal a day?

It sounds like someone with an eating disorder.

What the...? That's more than I'd eat, and I certainly don't have an eating disorder. I couldn't possibly eat two eggs at a sitting, and if I did manage it, it would be for a main meal, not lunch.

I'd consider that plenty of food, and a healthy diet.

Missed that the OP was breastfeeding. I'd still consider it an OK amount of food though.

Try almond milk perhaps.
But your list for that one day isnt adequate in terms of nutrients, I made some suggestions in my previous post.

Oh dear.

Well you'd be wrong. It isn't.
