Can you tell me what you (honestly!) eat in a day?

[nethunsreject]

I'm getting blood tests for weight loss this week - yeah, yeah, I know, poor me, huh? This isn't stealth boasting though - I am concerned and so is GP. However, I do wonder if I am actually eating enough or if I have lost sight of what is 'normal'. Or if I'm just busy and burning it off?

"TBH i couldn't quite understand why you felt the need to start commenting so negatively on other people's diet on a thread which was started by someone just looking for information."

Quite.

I posted a typical day's eating yesterday, not what I actually ate, because op wanted to know if she was eating enough.

I don't think any of us who responded in order to try and be helpful to nethuns expected or invited patronising comments from some other randomer barging in on her thread.

The only thread this long where I actually read all the posts

This morning my usual two bowls of museli (as I said yesterday, I never got over the habit of doing this when I was preggers) and an apple. one tea

Snack - one apple, one skinney latte

lunch - thick veg soup, yoghurt, mango

Snack - latte, mango, large handful of dried fruit

Dinner - will be mackeral, green salad, cous cous and mixed bean salad, another yoghurt, another apple, few mouthfuls of DH's ben and jerry's

Before bed - cup of camomile

5'6 - 8 stone. Low to moderate exercise per week.

I had to smirk at the "few mouthfuls of DH's ben and Jerry's" bbface, I nearly posted to tell you to leave your sex life out of this thread.

Good work chandon
Today I had three clementines and a chocolate miniroll for brekkie. Had crisps as a snack, then leftover mashed sweet potato for lunch. I've cycled about 5 miles and walked 4 today. Planning a big carbonara for dinner! Yum

CEDR. How do you function on so little food? I exercise almost never less than you, but if I ate that little I'd be ravenous, shaking, faint, and snapping at anyone unfortunate enough to cross my path! oh that's right, that happens anyway if I don't eat every two hours

So according to the site, aft i have had dinner, i can have something with 226 calories, 61g carbs, 16g protein, and 2g of fat. Not wishing to miss out on my nosh quota, what can I eat...

and according to that site I can only have 31 calories for my dinner (with -5 fat) !!

it's good though and making me think about what I eat (so is this thread)

Lots of celery for you then!

whoopee. I have some salad stuff which I guess I could have.

If you go for a run around the block, you can 'earn' some food.

Bugger. Just remembered the brioche i had this morning...

I eat loads. I have varying breakfasts, some biscuits and tea mid morning. Sandwhiches, crisps and fruit for lunch. Lots of chocoate, biscuits and fruit in the afternoon. Some toast or a snack when I get home, then a big vegetarian dinner with lots of vegis. Then a pudding, cake etc. And then I usually have another snack later on - cheese and crackers, or another pudding. I am a bit chubby though, size 12. I love food and I'd much rather eat lots and be chubby than always on a diet and thin.

ooh can I? (haven't got to the exercise bit of the site yet). Have to look after young DCs though so cant abandon them to run round the block! And DH is always late home and by then I really can't be arsed to do anything other than watch telly (and eat!)

But I am sure you have at least walked a bit today... It all counts!

DD is ill so have been housebound since Sunday! I did walk to the doctors and back though pushing 2 in a pram (up a steep hill on the way back)

So far today have had:

Brunch - cheese and ketchp sandwich and a handful of plain crackers
Snack - 4 shortbread fingers
Tea - lasagne, sprouts, brocolli

Going out to cinema so willhave either small box of salted popcorn or a Wall's Feast.

Breakfast - smoothie with berries, coconut milk, yog, Philly, milk
Shred workout
2 slices wholemeal and two eggs, possibly half a slice DS leftover toast, all with butter and marmite
Lunch - mahi mahi fish and broccoli and cheese
Supper - bk steak burger or toast or spag bog or steak and veg
Maybe one triangle toblerne and glass of wine or Gin and slimline

Also walk for about two and half hours a day, not very fast, as it's hot here
On feet all day with toddler
Constantly up and down and also doing housework and tidying all day long

This is pretty normal for me, I rarely snack though did more over Christmas. This thread has depressed me a little, I've realised again I don't eat much compared to other people but just can't lose weight. I'm 5ft7 and 10.5 stone. When I tried slimming world I put weight on :( I know my body is screwed up.

one weetabix mixed with a mullerlite yoghurt
another mullerlite yoghurt
..and erm another
two hardboiled eggs
tuna salad
2 peach activia yogurts
portion of rice and bolognese sauce
i chocolate coin
small handful hoola hoops
1 peach activia yogurt

I need to step away from the yoghurts

Breakfast - bowl of porridge with hot water
Lunch - 3 egg omelette with ham and cheese and 5 cherry tomatoes
Mouthful of delish apricot trifle still in fridge from weekend
Tea (will be) - chicken curry with green beans, lo fat greek yoghurt with blueberries and strawberries and pumpkin seeds.

2 decaf coffees, 2 decaf teas, 2 glasses wine.

I lo carb apart from brekkie. This is a typical day. I go to the gym 2 two to 3 times a week.

Back again!

Today:

Breakfast: 2 x boiled eggs, some pear (as per), cup of tea with full fat milk
No snack today as was too busy
Lunch: About a quarter of a quiche, some salad, some olives, some artichoke hearts
Mid-afternoon: A cup of tea with milk, half an apple turnover
5ish: mini crunchie, some olives, some sundried tomatoes in oil

Haven't yet had dinner but am going to do a beef and vegetable stir fry, with rice or noodles. A glass of juice. Possibly something sweet, like chocolate. Possibly a glass of milk.

As I said before I find this interesting to get an idea of how much I eat in relation to other people. My BMI (I have just worked out) is 19.2. I think I eat about a medium amount (with a fair amount of rubbish too). Although maybe others would think a small amount?
It looks like I don't eat a lot as I don't eat it at one go but often graze. For the sake of my heart etc I should cut down on fatty/sugary foods, especially as I do no exercise. Just hate it! I also tend towards the carb heavy, apart from breakfast.

It's also very useful to get ideas for what else to eat, especially for lunch! Thanks guys

Apple turnover was full of cream btw.
