How would you rate my food today?

[BlazesBoylansHat]

I'm trying to be more mindful of UPFs + also lose the last 10lbs of a 3 stone weight loss .

Breakfast: porridge made with half & half water & low fat milk, tiny sprinkle of brown sugar, small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (from the juicing machine in supermarket), proper coffee with low fat milk

Lunch: homemade soup (roasted butternut squash, carrot, sweet potato, red onion, garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, chilli flakes, salt pepper, low fat coconut milk & chicken stock) with a slice of organic wholemeal seeded sourdough with real butter

A tiny pink lady apple

6pm- proper coffee & 1 fun sized bag of malteasers (was really tired after work )

Dinner: fesh salmon cooked in foil with spring onion, thinly sliced Red pepper, grated fresh ginger, chilli flakes, fresh coriander & soy sauce served with roasted asparagus & steamed new
potatoes

A clementine

Water with lemon slices to drink

I had 2 pain au chocolate for my breakfast if that makes you feel better OP.

All depends on the portion sizes really as that dictates calorie intake

She probably had orange juice, the Clementine and the butter because she likes them.

HTH.

Is NHS Bmi calculator reliable? Is bmi still something we use ?

I'm 5ft 9" & bmi 26.5 which is overweight. I weigh 12 stone 7lbs

My fave breakfast is Greek yoghurt with frozen blueberries sauted (so yummy) over it with some nuts and seeds.

BMI is a good starting point. Mines 27, was 36. I'm happy with 27.

Another gauge is your waist to height ratio:

Bit low in protein and fat for me but sounds tasty and lots of nutrients.

I’d replace the low fat versions of things with full fat - more satisfying and that’s help your body absorb some vitamins.

@BlazesBoylansHat Blood sugar spikes can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance and ultimately increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Orange juice really doesn’t agree with me, so I avoid it.
