Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!

Low carb contributions are of course welcomed, but please keep in mind that this is not the low carb diet section, and debates about diet should be kept out of this thread. Happy posting! ;)

So far 2 slices of Tesco protein bread with 3 bit of vegetarian bacon, slice of edam, tomato lettuce and mayonnaise. 1 small cheese stuffed chilli pepper.
and I don't feel like eating this evening because I have a stomach upset, but may try something later.
