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!)

Oh and I've walked my dogs twice - 30 minutes morning & afternoon. They like to sniff so there's not a massive amount of exercise involved!

Just some bran flakes and almond milk

Shall try and remember to update when baby is here. Not really feeling like he’s up for shifting any time soon though

Smoothie
Veggies
Small choc biscuit bar
Beef stew, mash & Yorkshire pud
Sweets
Ice cream

B - toast with avocado, ham & cherry tomatoes
L - wasn't hungry until about 2.30 - quark with kiwi & peach
D - just now, homemade veg curry & Wholegrain rice

S - drinking gin & slimline tonics

Forgot about exercise - kettlebells & I've got just over 13000 steps.

Endless cups of tea. Semi skimmed milk and no sugar or sweetener.

A tangerine and an apple.

A quorn ham and cheese spread sandwich for lunch.

Two sliced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese with balsamic vinager dressing

A packet of crisps.

No actual exercise today. My job means im walking or stood about all day. I sit down for about an hour in total in a working day.

pete I'm trying to adopt a similar way of eating atm (apart from today's fail, I find it really hard to be strict with myself when I'm at work, I'm much better when I'm at home because I meal plan and dont have crap in the house..)
I noticed I'm not really hungry in the morning so I eat at around 11am and I'll have what I normally have for breakfast which will be eggs with toast.
Then I'll just have a normal meal of what ever I want and leave it at that. Like you said it's much less stressful than calorie counting or trying to make three meals out of Xamount of calories or whatever. I wish I could just have the one meal (it would be mighty too 😏) but I haven't got the willpower for that.
Whoever decided we need three meals a day anyway?? Yeah maybe eat three times a day but I think people got confused along the way and started to eat like a king at every meal time 🤣

I worked out my overall calories for today's craziness btw and it's 2600 or there abouts 😳 im hoping all the running around i did might have burnt most of that off though..
Really hoping.. 🤞😬

It's been a bad day food wise for me.

Chocolate muffin mid-morning for breakfast
No tea or coffee, never had time.
Frito pie with brisket and pinto beans for lunch (it's a Texan thing) that was entirely too salty. Ate half and it was still more than was good for me.
1 diet Dr. Pepper

When I think about it, the frito pie is probably horrifying to anyone outside this particular area of TX. It's frito corn chips (crisps) on a plate or in a bowl, with chopped bbq brisket on, then pinto beans, then jalapeno creamed corn, then cheddar cheese, then pickled jalapenos. I bloody love it but it's very bad for me. Usually frito pie is fritos, beef chili and cheese...don't know why ours is so crazy.

And I've been sat at my desk all day, so doubly bad!

I'd typically have eggs of some description for breakfast and a large (500ml) mug of earl grey, lunch is either salad (but not a punishment salad, there's always bacon or cheese, smoked fish or prawns and either a creamy or an oil-based dressing), soup or a massive sandwich.

Dinner is extremely varied could be anything really, I bloody love cooking and food so am very eclectic when it comes to what I'm eating in the evening. It probably balances out health-wise and it's always cooked from 'scratch'.

Booze, three bottles of wine a week on average.

Activity levels? Varies, not sedentary, but not a powerhouse either. I don't exercise as such, I walk a lot, swim, and am quite active around the house.

BMI 20.3. I'm tall, broad shouldered and have always been quite strong and muscular if that helps!

Oh, and I always have full-fat everything.

I was fine until this evening.

Greek yogurt, berries, no-sugar granola and a squirt of honey with peach kombucha to drink.

A big salad with salmon, seeds, avo, coconut chips, tomatoes etc for lunch.

Lamb shashlik, saag aloo, chicken pakoras, peshwari naan and cucumber raita for dinner

And about 6 large mugs or earl grey with ff milk (no.sugar), one or two cappuccinos (with sugar and ff milk), a pint or so of sparkling water and wine at the weekends. No other fluids other than the occasional coke with tons of ice. Probably about two cans a week.

Hours of driving today, so only 4500 steps so far.
Food:
B - decaff coffee, soy milk
L - some celery, cucumber and tomatoes
D- fish with big green salad, glass of red.
2 litres water ish so far.

Just chocolate. Shameful as it's only 8am here.

But I am going to go for a swim this morning (1km but really going hard - I've been a swimmer my entire life, so it's not a leisurely swim) and I will walk the dogs for around 5km.

Crappy with cold so made chicken, veg & orzo soup for dinner, followed by a brownie & ice cream. During the day had a banana, some Parma ham, cheddar & a few squid rings & tomatoes from a deli salad, and a smoothie. Bit of a weird food day!

I am very fit due to my job, and if I don't eat loads I drop weight quickly, I am a nice skinny at the moment, because I had 2 weeks off over Xmas. Before Xmas I'd lost too much.
