Can we have a thread to list every day what we've eaten?

[shiningcadence]

Hi, I've recently started cutting down ready for my holiday at the end of Aug. also my 3 year old asked me why I had a big bum

I'm not calorie counting per se because I haven't got the time but I've cut down lots and am eating quite healthily most days.

I'm still tempted by the odd treat though and I think a massive motivation for me would be if I knew I was coming on here every evening to list what I'd eaten that day. Does anyone else else think this would help them? If so, please join!

I also think it might be helpful to see what others are eating to give me ideas for healthy snacks and meals.

Also, is anyone excercising as well as cutting down? I haven't got the time to do any 'proper' excercise (sahm with 3 dc, dh works long hours, no family nearby etc) but I've been doing squats and arm lifts when the dc are playing and have also been hula hooping in the garden - I find this a really good way to tone up my stomach. What excercises are others doing? Any tips for excercises that can fit around the dc?

I will be back this evening to list what I've eaten and what excercise I've done today - hopefully this'll keep me on track this afternoon :)

feelin can I be cheeky and ask for the recipe for it please?

STIDW you've done really well again.

I had 2 pieces of toast with clover light spread and a coffee for dinner and then 2 Weetabix for supper. Can't get enough of them

mummaemma Houmous on crackers sounds lovely, (I love houmous) as does the quiche and the chocolate :)

Hi everyone. Today work day, so needed lots of sugar! Breakfast was just right cereal, milk, cup of tea. Mid morning- apple, soreen slice. Lunch ham sandwiches, tea and blue riband. Afternoon snacks- apple, kit kat, latte, coffee, fudge. Dinner- ham sandwiches, tea and kit kat. Got home and had to have a cornetto.

Think I need to get some healthy snacks for work...

Shining, Yes of course. It's really simple. If calories allow a smidgen of creme fraîche at the end gives it a creamy edge :)
Red onion, garlic (lots of), mushrooms, aubergines, fry it all in the pan until lovely and brown and soft. Sprinkle in a couple of stock cubes and add korma powder (I get mine from the local Indian shop). Fresh green chilli and voilà an amazing totally fat free korma. I use a couple of squirts of one cal olive oil but to be honest the liquid from the veg helps it all fry nicely. I buy roti from the Indian shop too (about 100 cals) and allow a couple of spoonfuls of basmati rice. No more than 300 cals. I use nice Indian bowls for authenticity :)

Yesterday I had
Breakfast- cereal
Dinner- new potato, runner bean garlic and olive salad
Tea- ribollata (veg stew with greens)
Snacks- numerous slices of bread and butter(4, they.went alongside the stew, but DDS left theirs and I can't bear it to waste)
A caramel.bar.

I'm still within my goal Cal but I've a serious bread addiction.

Thank you feelin

Today I had weetabix x 2 for breakfast. A big handful of fruit and nuts for a snack. Lunch left over korma and roti - very small bowl of. A nectarines and pear. Just ripped off a small bit of tiger bread. Doesn't leave much for tea tonight. I think I ll make a stew with veg soya chunks.

I've just made some savoury flans and flapjacks. The smell is amazing and making it very hard to resist!

Evening all :)

Breakfast: muller rice, coffee - skimmed milk, half a sugar
Snack: Special K biscuit moments
Lunch: 2 pieces of toast, banana
Snack: latte in cafe - one sugar - and small Milky Way
Dinner: one slice of vegetable pizza
Snack: 2 Weetabix and a banana

Chat soon :)

mmmm u cant beat homemade savoury flans. Haven't made one in years. cheese and onion my favourite.

Hello, another haphazard day. Tea, cereal. Then, a chicken pasty!, and a cornetto.

Morning, checking in for yesterday.

Breakfast- scrambled egg
Dinner- new potato salad
Tea- chorizo and egg wrap
Snacks- magic stars snack pack
One slice of bread and butter
Drinks- 100ml milk and two glasses of red wine.

I'm very happy that tbh.
Mumma- considering how low Cal your meals are, I don't think the snacks are that bad, in fact its probably keeping you in quite a low calorie total for the day.

Pregnantpause, new potato salad sounds tasty, what was in it... Looking for inspiration. So far I have had tea, 2 toast and jam. Now going to have a cup of tea with Madeira cake and thinking about what to have for tea. Hope everyone else doing well.

I used new potato, sliced runner beans (both boiled, beans added in last three mins), garlic fried in a little oil, chopped black olives a handful of basil and rocket to wilt amongst the potatoes. Squeeze a lemon over with s and p. It was a variation of a hugh fearnly recipe I think, but couldn't be bothered to unearth the relevant cookbook. It was very satisfying actually

So far today I have had

Breakfast- cereal
Dinner- toasted beetroot and salad wrap with 25g cheddar.
For tea, I'm making macaroni cheese for the DC, but know it's not a good idea for me, so a bit downcast at the prospect of watching them eat the cheesy goodness without me. I will have some form of noodle soup I think.

Today, nothing for breakfast. Half bowl cauliflower and stilton homemade soup for lunch and dinner. A nectarine and pear for snacks.

Wow, that's sounds sophisticated and tasty.

Evening everyone.

breakfast: 2.5 weetabix, semi skimmed milk
Lunch: 4 crackers with houmous, nectarine
dinner: chilli with tortilla wrap, corn on the cob
Banoffe ice cream

Snack: 2 breakaways, homemade apple puff

went on a 6 mile bike ride

Thanks rummi, I feel grown up having made a sophisticated salad
I caved. Had half a bowl of Mac and cheese. But, as 250g of pasta served 6, I'm sure it can't have been that calorie laden. Well, not alone that is. I also had some of the apple crumble I made to follow. Have just finished the shred to compensate. No snacks today though.and no alcohol, despite dh sitting with a large glass of red in hand opposite me, the bottle next to him..

Yesterday I had an orange and porridge with a banana, nuts and 1/2 tsp maple syrup, then a double chic biscuit for snack and ham rye bread sandwich with salad for lunch. My daughter came for dinner and we had bacon, asparagus and cheese flan made with filo pastry, beetroot and feta salad followed by a meringue nest with strawberries and half fat cream. My energy was very low and I didn't manage to reach my usual levels in the gym so I gave into temptation and had a flapjack!

Today;-

breakfast: orange, Weetabix, milk

snack: pancake with tsp Nutella

lunch: turkey slice, potato salad with beetroot and feta salad left overs

dinner: tuna with spring greens, chilli and sweet potato wedges followed by a meringue nest with strawberries and half fat cream again

That lot was just a little under 1200 cal.

Added to tea toast, Madeira cake and tea, were cheese toast times 2 plus tea followed by more Madeira cake. My diet is atrocious!

Hi all, sorry didn't check in yesterday. Had a lovely day, very busy though and very bad food wise.

Muller rice
Piece of toast
Packet of Walkers prawn cocktail crisps
Special K biscuit moments x2
Burger King - veggie wrap, chips and diet coke
We went to Burger King as we were rushing around like blue arsed flies, hadn't had lunch and didn't think we would be having dinner as were off see friends at 7 and didn't expect them to feed us. But, when we arrived they decided to have an impromptu BBQ and of course it would've been rude to refuse the lovely food they were making :) - so I hada veggie burger - in a roll with a cheese slice, relish and onions. Then a raspberry donut .

No exercise either.

Oh well, today's another day. In going to be very good. So far I've had a muller rice and a coffee - skimmed milk, half a sugar. Lunch will be an omelette. Report back later.

Btw, pregnant I also love the sound of your potato salad, looking forward to trying it out :)

I woke up ravenous. Breakfast 2 weetabix then ate one of my tuna sandwiches. Then had a pear and a handful of dried fruit and wasabi nuts. Also had my other sandwich for lunch but still hungry.

Just been and bought a big bag of dry roasted peanuts.

well so far have had

breakfast: weetabix
lunch: 2 slices cheese on toast (Edam)
nectarine
snack: breakaway, packet of peanut M & M's

Dinner tonight is takeway Fish n Chips.
Off to Devon tomorrow for our hols for a week so wont be reporting in.
Hope you all have a good week.

mummaemma Hope you have a fab time on your hols. Devon is a lovely part of the country isn't it.

feelin It's horrible when you're ravenous no matter what you eat isn't it. You've done so well not to cave and go on a mad binge though! That's what I've been known to do In all seriousness though, I always find that eggs fill me up when I'm hungry - you've probably noticed from my food lists that I eat a lot of omelettes! I also find Muller Rice really, really filling.

Well, yesterday I forgot to list the latte I had at a cafe when we were out and also 2 glasses of cider at my friend's house, so quite a lot of calories consumed :(

I've tried to be good today, honest, but I've been been feeling really peckish. I've had:

Muller rice
Omlette with red onion, one piece toast with clover light spread
Apple
Small Milky Way
X3 Jaffa cakes
X2 Weetabix with skimmed milk
Banana
Coffee skimmed milk, half a sugar x2
Lots of water

Not shaping up to be a great day but I'm feeling full now so hopefully won't be snacking too much more this evening. If I'm feeling peckish later I'll probably have a Dairylea triangle and some breadsticks. Dd3 was eating them earlier and I have to admit, they looked quite appetising! :)

Hope youre all having a good evening. Chat again soon.
