Posting pics of everything you eat thread!

[Friedbanana]

Hi! So during the first lockdown, i set up an instagram where I posted photos of every single thing that entered my mouth except from tea, and it really did discourage pointless snacking as I’d pop into the kitchen for a random biscuit but then I couldn’t be bothered to take a photo of biscuit as phone was in the other room, then I realised I didn’t actually really need the biscuit and back it went! It was super effective for a while and along with MFP I lost about a stone, but then I started to follow other instagram account and got some followers back and felt pressure to make everything look pretty, which meant I stopped posting absolutely everything so started having random snacks again, and have now put back on a few pounds! I tried setting up a new private instagram but wasn’t really that motivated! So I’m starting again but instead hoping a mumsnet thread will help!? Anyone fancy joining?!

I’m for a calorie deficit of around 500 per day, so eating about 1750-2000 and burning 2250-2500 (i have a fitbit alta which estimates total calories burnt). I walk a lot (1.5-2 hours a day with dog plus i walk to work) but am going to try getting into running again too! Trying to not be too restrictive food-wise as I’m having problems overeating by quite a bit some days! (when I don’t track while eating and then add up after I can easily put away 4000 calories a day without realising )
I’m currently about 9stone (havent checked for a bit so possibly more!) and aiming for about 8st4.
So yes, please do join and we can look at eachother’s non-instagram-able food!

Ps. a tip I never knew about MFP which makes life sooo much easier, is you can click edit, and check all ingredients for a meal if you’re batch cooking for example, then do ‘save meal’! Saved sooo much time! But maybe everyone knew this already except from me

Todays food for me:
Breakfast: banana bread muffin, microwaved with frozen berries, biscoff spread, 2 crumbled biscoff biscuits (fully recommended, tastes like berry crumble!), 200g greek yoghurt mixed with cinnamon, plus a small mocha ~ 508 cals
Lunch: chicken paella leftover ~ 410 cals
Snack at work: Almond bounce ball - 158 cals
Snack after work: mini hersheys bar plus 2 mini cinnamon biscuits - 78 cals
Dinner: Vegan burger with cheese, sweet pot fries and salad - 800 cals
Lots of tea with oat milk! - 44 cals
Total cals: ~ 1954

I want eggs benedict now and I've just had my dinner!

Haha 😆 it is very yum!! Surprising myself by still taking photos while away! Not logging but dont think I’ve gone super overboard, few snacks and fish and mushy pea dinner with a few of DPs chips!

Ok maybe more than a few snacks

Going to need a new thread very soon at this rate 😂

Yesterday for me:

Mid morning: banana (no pic)

Mid afternoon: 2 crispbread with boursin cheese and gherkins

Second afternoon: caffe latte

I've managed to put on 0.3 kg this week. :(

I’m sure you’ll lose it next week @FatCatThinCat!

Today’s food

Plus a hazelnut latte.. this was only half a pizza so like 500cals plus I added smoked salmon, but I cut it into 6 pieces so it looked like a full pizza and felt very satisfying 😆

Sorry haha..

Good to see it all laid out haha I’ve eaten quite a lot and didn’t really realise! But still on holiday and walked a lot and swam too so hopefully all balanced out! Also had two pieces of chocolate on top of this and couple of strawberries

Also had a nakd bar, a lotus ice cream stick (mmmm) 2 oat milk lattes and an additional stuffed date!

Yesterday I had:

Breakfast: toast and ginger jam

Mid morning: banana (no pic)

Lunch: Salmon pesto tagliatelle

Mid afternoon: toast with too much biscoff

Dinner: stir fried prawns and noodles (no pic)

I also had another banana and some blueberries through the day.

Eggs Benedict and 2 stuffed dates, also had a nakd bar and a hazelnut mocha this morning!

No pics s as didn’t have my phone with me but today I’ve had a white choc hazelnut mocha, a hash brown and egg bao bun, and an absolutely huuuuge biscoff sundae!! So not the healthiest haha but very very enjoyable and I’m guessing about 1200 cals so far so will now try not eating anything till dinner! Was 9st 4.8 this morning as I had a few bad days after my little holiday but will hopefully get back down in not too long!

White choc and hazelnut mocha, Banana, biscoff and peanut butter bagel, berries and nuts, raisin oatmeal cookie, numerous oat milk coffees, and chicken fajitas (had some extra chicken too)
