To ask what you've eaten today...

[Smotheroffive]

...and how much exercise you got?

Very interested to hear what amount and type of food people's daily diet consists of,and whether it's obviously a lot more or less than I eat, or more nutritious or not.

I had a day without exercise so far, total consumption two slices of home-bake bread, a cup large mug of tea, and 2 x that of coffee.

Planning to eat a jacket pot for dinner now, with beans and a little grated cheese. Oh, and an orange for breakfast.

I am a few stone overweight, from Christmas excesses, but steadily losing it. (Not mentally, I mean weight!)

..also will do a fast walk this eve after dinner,for best part of an hour.

I've had yogurt, muesli and passion fruit, two eggs scrambled and a pitta bread, a cheese toasted sandwich and cherry tomatoes and marscapone with dark chocolate.
1.5 hours yoga class.

Coffee
Small bowl all bran
Bacon sandwich
4 custard creams
Toast and jam
Chilli and rice

I’m pregnant and due tomorrow, I’m starving!!

Oh and I walked the dog round our massive park earlier.

Not had a very healthy day today.

6x cups of tea
1 kitkat
1 small pie
Half a big bag of crisps
Small slice of cake
Big portion of homemade minestrone with big oily croutons.

Two boiled eggs, 2 bananas, 1 Apple, large plate rocket, spinach, cucumber, tomato beetroot salad with two slices crusty bread spread with butter, 2 oat cakes, 4 dates, 3 slices garlic bread and one plate of pasta with tuna, sweetcorn and peppers. 3 espresso with a little milk. One glass of kale, celery, mint and spirulina with water smoothie.

That is normal for me and I never fluctuate weight.

3 miles walking briskly and a 3 mile run tonight.

I exercise rarely (at the moment at least), due to full time job and childcare as a single parent. My routine is permenanant fasting following a one meal a day principle. Lots of benefits, very little food watching, lots of mental acuity.

People think it's weird. Zero f*s given. Works for me.

I've eaten

Bowl of blueberries and full fat Greek yoghurt
Two pain au chocolat and a can of coke
Cheese and ham toastie
Cupcake
Chicken and chorizo paella
A couple of squares of rum and raisin chocolate.

I have also walked 16k steps

Take out the pain at chocolate and the cake and that is about a typical day for me. I lose weight, and exercise three times a week. I am 13 stone though so my calorie allowance will be higher than for someone lighter

I'll spell permanent right one of these years too.

Not much exercise as I normally run but I'm recovering from a back injury so no running 😭 I've managed 8,000 steps

So far I've eaten:

2 bananas
Soya latte
Vegan butternut soup
Cereal bar
Pot of quark with white chocolate options
Homemade Low fat (5% mince, potatoes with no butter, little cheese) cottage pie with steamed carrots

Will probably have a little chocolate too

Slice of toast and mug of tea
Ham and cheese sandwich, snack size twix, small homemade banana muffin
Mug of tea and about 5 bourbon biscuits.
Hot cross bun with butter and a mug of tea.
Chicken breast with orange sauce and rice.
Mini mars bar..... might have another one!
Walked over 9 miles at work in the snow.

I am trying to lose a bit of weight, I am at the upper end of the healthy BMI range, but just want to get it down a bit.

Having said that, it’s been no exercise today, and I have eaten...

Breakfast - full fat Greek yoghurt with small sprinkling of mixed bits, some chopped strawberries and a tiny drizzle of honey.

Lunch - jacket potato (it was huge, at a cafe, I ate about 2/3 of the potato) with beef chilli and undressed salad.

Dinner - will be a Cajun chicken skewer, couscous made up with some stock and veggies in, and salad.

I might have a satsuma later. I have probably had 4 cups of tea (milk, no sugar), and just over a litre of water so far.
