A 'What did you eat today?' thread for those dieting.

[CharleyDavidson]

I love a 'What did you eat today?' thread. But the one in chat was getting interesting as those not dieting were a bit unimpressed by the food day's of some.

I thought we could (if you like) say what 'plan' or method you are using, what you ate and how successful you felt the day was.

S: 2 rice cakes

Came in at 1200kcal roughly and also weighed into this am - 3.5lbs lost in a month which is rubbish, but 1.5 of those in less than a week, only realistically have 4 to go so slow loss is prob just cos I don't need to lose a ton.

Have to say though that calorie counting is making really aware of how many mindless and often tasteless calories I put away

I'm calorie counting too. It's really made me cut out the random shoving of food in whenever I pass the kitchen cupboards. I'm using MyFitnessPal and found it works for me if I enter all my food for the day first thing. So I'm eating off a list, rather than finding out late afternoon I haven't got any calls left for dinner.

B- coffee and weetabix
L- ham salad
D- chicken, rice and peas
Snacks- options hot chocolate, fruit and some crackers

I eat from a list too, I like to plan ahead

I also get meal boxes delivered so I don't have to work out what I'm cooking each week (a throw back from my days of pnd which worked very well for me)

So today,

B - Alpro yoghurt with orange and apple slices.
L - 2 Ryvita with a mixture of lactofree cream cheese, hummus and grated carrot and spring onion on top.
D - Gusto recipe, Mexican Eggs.

Out all day and only managed a banana and a pear before we left.

D - Steak, jacket potato, salad, grilled asparagus and courgettes

Today, Breakfast, 1 round of toast, banana, glass of grapefruit juice.
Went out for afternoon tea with friend so had lots of mini carb goodness
