A weird couple of days food wise, with commitments from 12 -4, so brunch and dinner. I find that a challenge - I can manage 16:8 fasting and go without breakfast fine, then lunch to dinner is not too long. But brunch and dinner has me feeling hungry and munchy at 4.30 / 5pm which is NOT good, given that dh has a fully stocked snack cupboard. I'm trying to drink water instead, or go for a walk, but it doesn't always work and I snaffled at least 6 of dh's crisps today... Though avoided dipping them in his hummus.
Today I had:
Brunch - coffee with cream, boiled eggs mashed with butter
6 crisps
Dinner - peri peri chicken, broccoli, butter
That's almost no veg compared to my usual. I know that overall a balanced diet is balanced over days not moments, but still...
Tomorrow is a complicated day with a visit to frail PILs. Fortunately I take the food so it's somewhat within my control. However, dh and I are in the midst of an online challenge competition so we have an early start [what on earth am I doing still up at this time???]
Dh's packed breakfast is pancakes and bananas, my packed breakfast is slices of buttered cheese, ham, cucumber, lettuce.
Lunch is a lovely fish stew (cod, salmon, mussels, prawns in a homemade langoustine bisque full of butter and cream), accompanied by cauliflower cheese and cabbage.
Then there's a chocolate mousse (70% chocolate, eggs, a wee bit of Cointreau), some cream and a few raspberries.
Dinner will be green veg soup.
That's a much better day. Plus the challenge will probably result in 20,000 - 30,000 steps.
