I’ve had a really unhealthy beige comfort food food day:
Breakfast - toast, peanut butter jam
Lunch- bagel with cheese
Tea: a bag of churros with sugar from a food stall & some chips
I might have some cereal in a bit too 😬

Banana porridge for breakfast.
Cold leftover chicken and chorizo risotto.
Packet of cheese oatcakes.
Four mini packets of Haribo Starmix.
Couple of slack handfuls of cashews.
Mini Magnum.
Plate of chips and gravy.
Half a packet (so far) of chocolate fingers.

I don’t give a fuck. I’ve had a shit week, I’ve given up booze and I just cannot be arsed to care.

I can’t believe the thread has gone this long without someone making a judgy comment!

My food today...

Yoghurt with berries & muesli (don’t worry, things are about to go downhill)
A packet of scotch pancakes
Bacon bap
A lot of cake mixture
One of the cupcakes made using aforementioned mixture
Massive pizza in a restaurant for dinner, plus half a bottle of wine.
For dessert me, DH & kids shared a ‘chocolate pizza’ which was basically a huge circle of cookie covered in Nutella & cream. Was a bit sickly tbh but it still went down the hatch.

About to have a herbal tea so am sure that’ll balance it all out Grin

partofyoupoursoutofme · 05/09/2020 21:19

Today:
Breakfast: pancakes with peanut butter, honey and banana, and yoghurt, various berries and sugar
Lunch: runner bean, tomato, feta, lemon and chickpea salad
Dinner: pizza

Not too bad until you add in two bottles of lager, a piece of fudge, (at least) 7 chocolates, extra pancake whilst cooking, and a random teaspoon of sugar Hmm

Pertella · 05/09/2020 21:23

My usual would be marmite on toast (about 4 slices) but we only have wholemeal bread in at the moment which just doesn't work.

I've ordered a Chinese instead 🤣

Queenoftheashes · 05/09/2020 21:25

I’ve had a fried egg roll for breakfast, turkey fajitas leftovers for lunch... then it goes downhill with loads of bread and cheese, spag bol and then I realised I can make a jam sponge pudding in five mins in the microwaveable rice cooker so half of that with ice cream (halo though!)
Might have a glass of port to finish.

Dottiedot19 · 05/09/2020 21:28

See mine would be

Breakfast: thick sliced white bread with oodles of butter and endless cups of strong tea

Lunch: thick sliced white bread, plastic cheese and mayonnaise.

Snacks: either original pringles, chunks of mature cheddar or chocolate raisins. Ona truly bad PMS day it's all three.

Tea: mixed sweet and sour balls with egg fried rice and a full fat coke.

Pudding: the aforementioned chocolate raisins.

I am usually left as happy as a pig in shit by the end of this day, if a little nauseous! If I didn't have a family to cook for I would also do this for Xmas day!

Lovely1a2b3c · 05/09/2020 21:30

Breakfast: Chocolate chip brioche
Lunch: Cheese and chive pasty
Snack: 2x Milkybars
Dinner: Pizza

CarrieFour · 05/09/2020 21:33

Another schooler for me today.

Breakfast 2x 50:50 toast with lurpak and a tea.

Lunch. Chicken Royale meal. (Wasn't even that good if I'm honest)

Dinner - bit of a buffet/mix at my parents. Few slices of ham and pineapple pizza, salad, garlic bread. A chocolate eclair and coffee for dinner.

Now eating a bag of Mini Twirls.

CarrieFour · 05/09/2020 21:33

Schooler = shocker

Mumof3almost4 · 05/09/2020 21:36

A family size M&S cottage pie to myself Blush

EnglishGirlApproximately · 05/09/2020 21:42

Mine started of well with bran flakes and raspberries, lunck OK is a bagel with chicken and salad.
Snacked on licorice and oreos.
Dinner was pizza with sides if dirty fries AND dirty doughballs. Now washing down with a glass of chenin blanc.
The MN Carb Police would be disgusted Grin

Serenity45 · 05/09/2020 21:45

Great thread OP! Scrambled eggs (5 eggs Blush) on 3 thick slices of white buttered toast huge glass of orange juice. Lamb kebabs in pittas with curly fries. Orange kitkat can of coke. Only managed 3 slices of a large Dominoes pizza (that'll be the wedges and chicken dippers to start, I was over confident). Now lay on sofa trying to take a full breath yes I'm that full after a slice of DHs chocolate and banana bread. Going to carby fat hell

Imissmoominmama · 05/09/2020 21:55

Today:

Two slices of toast with butter and peanut butter.

Cold spicy rice with avocado and sour cream and a pack of M&S halloumi and courgette pastry triangles.

Fish, chips and mushy peas.

A tunnocks caramel wafer.

vanillandhoney · 05/09/2020 21:57

Mine was awful today - first day of my period so I'll blame that Blush

Breakfast was a raisin/cinnamon bagel with loads of butter, a triple chocolate cookie and coffee.

Lunch wasn't even a meal - two bags of crisps (frazzles and squares) and some sun dried tomatoes!

Dinner was nachos with loads of cheese and sour cream, a raspberry and whites chocolate cookie, some fruit salad sweets and a KitKat!

LunaNorth · 05/09/2020 22:02

@Serenity45 - loving your work Grin

thatplaceinjordan · 05/09/2020 22:03

If I'm at work and having a shit day
Chips, baked beans and cheese.
That is part of the cause of my lockdown non lockdown weight gain.

thatplaceinjordan · 05/09/2020 22:05

Reading through I want churros now.

SukiPutTheEarlGreyOn · 05/09/2020 22:24

One of those part-baked rolls still warm from the oven and slathered with butter for breakfast.
Cheese on toast with hot tomato sauce and Maggi for lunch.
Lovely dd cooked veggie toad-in-the-hole for tea.
Cuppa and jam tart for supper.

There might be reports of a snickers and another cup of tea sneaked in at some point but I couldn't possibly comment.

NoMoreReluctantCustodians · 05/09/2020 22:58

Toast and jam. Coffee
Halloumi burger with fries
Tomato soup with bread
Crisps
Aero
Biscoff biscuits

PurpleDaisies · 06/09/2020 09:59

This is my new favourite thread. It’s carbs all the way for me...

Macaroni cheese.
Cheese and potato pie.
White bread with salty butter.
Pringles.

rainwaterflow · 06/09/2020 10:46

Doughnuts. Any doughnuts.

I spent all of yesterday at an outdoors arts festival in the freezing cold, and the only comforting food in sight was a coffee and doughnut van.

It cost nearly £10!! For a yuzu sourdough doughnut.

Thank god I have a voucher for a free Krispy Kreme.

liverbird10 · 06/09/2020 14:26

I'm having a big fat chicken and bacon sub for late lunch, with a portion of hash browns.

Yup. Being a greedy shameless pig.

Now I want churros, I love them.

liverbird10 · 06/09/2020 14:28

@LunaNorth Sorry to hear about your dog. Sad

TurkeyTrot · 06/09/2020 14:46

Turtle Bay sounds amazing, I had to look up the menu.

Sadly there isn't one anywhere near me :(

LunaNorth · 06/09/2020 14:59
