Just home from work, trying to be a bit healthier but so hungry that I've just demolished a Pot Noodle I found shoved in the kitchen cupboard..the pot states it 'might' contain celery and egg and there were definitely peas in it and a mango sauce sachet thrown in too ! AIBU to think this is some kind of secret superfood that no-one else knows about ?! Anyone enjoying culinary delights to match mine ? Grin

Peas, celery and mango.... you're well on your way to your five a day.

To make up the other two portions can I suggest a couple of glasses of grape juice and a cherry pie.

Well done OP, you're an inspiration.

Ha ha ha ! Can the grape juice be of the alcohol kind ?

Haha I love it!
I had a mayo chicken and fries from McDonald's so you're doing better than me.

I had chicken chow mein. Are bean sprouts a vegetable?

It definitely should be. The non-alcoholic stuff just doesn't do the job.

Mrsharrison Chicken Chow Mein for lunch ..Lots of healthy stuff in there I imagine !

You need some chocolate too daffodil for a properly balanced meal. It's made from a plant so it must be good for you! Wine

It sounds absolutely repulsive OP but whatever floats your boat Grin

I've had three buttered cream crackers. Can't be bothered eating today.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 17/09/2018 15:18

Eldest child had finished of the bread (why can’t she sod off back to uni and stop eating all my food) so I had two slices of ham and a packet of crisps before dashing out for a meeting..... wish I’d had a pot noodle lurking in the cupboard....

PoppyPlum · 17/09/2018 15:21

Yellow M&Ms are extremely good for you as they're full of nuts. Unsaturated fats etc etc.

I also always make sure to have a packet of vegetable crisps from Pret when I buy lunch there.

daffodillament · 17/09/2018 15:24

Hee hee ! Ooooh, bloody love a Pret lunch. Soups there are LUSH !

You are all such health freaks! I had a slab of cake and a frothy coffee for mine

I was proud of myself for making the healthy choice of rum ad raisin ice cream yesterday. After all. raisins are dried gapes so definitely count as 5-a-day. I made sure I had several scoops so I had enough to count as a full portion.

Whipsmart · 17/09/2018 15:28

I had a grilled cheese sandwich with ketchup AND brown sauce. Lunch of kings.

RomyAndJulio · 17/09/2018 15:31

I had two fruit buns with butter. And a packet of prawn crackers.

Balanced diet: fruit, dairy and seafood.

Clandestino · 17/09/2018 15:37

I had pizza with rocket on top. That makes it an healthy option. Also, it was fresh and sourdough. I am so proud of my very healthy food option.

Pah, I was looking forward to a chocolate orange pot in my Ocado delivery. Imagine my disappointment and disgust when on eating it, the first spoonful had a fibre-ey texture. All delicious things like cream have been substituted with AVOCADO! Shock So chocolate flavour guacamole. Envy

Plan to console self with a bacon sarnie.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 17/09/2018 15:54

I had toast with peanut butter (obviously a vegetable) and apricot jam (fruit). Also carbs and protein... Shockingly healthy for a Monday!

purplemanholecover · 17/09/2018 16:00

I had 12 mini sausage rolls and a box of Aldi halloumi fries... it's day 1 of my maternity leave so I thought I would treat myself! Grin

daffodillament · 17/09/2018 16:05

Well you certainly have your dairy in there Purple ! Sounds amazing. Making a note to myself to check out those halloumi fries !
