@WuTwo prompted me to post. I’ve listed the meals I ate yesterday (Saturday). This was quite a normal weekend day for me, although the evening meal was probably closer to a Sunday meal as my Mum was visiting. FYI: All meals are homemade and I’m the chef! The nutrition information is from MyFitnessPal if you’re interested.
Breakfast
Chia pudding (I eat most days, prepared the night before) I.e. chia seeds soaked in full fat milk, flavoured with cocoa, cinnamon and coconut and topped with mixed seeds/nuts. With two mugs of milky coffee.
Carbs 26g, Fat 49g, Protein 29g
Lunch
3 poached eggs and a few beans on (Livlife) buttered toast.
C27 F27 P39
Dinner
Nut roast with roast swede, kale, sprouts, and a Yorkshire for a treat with gravy. (I did make roast potatoes for everyone else, but anyone that comes to my house only gets veg; we’re meat-free: only my dog gets a concession, I’m not cruel!).
50g melon for dessert, but I don’t normally have a dessert.
C40 F55 P26
(No wine: I don’t really drink. I wasn’t allowed alcohol for a long while; now I am, but I’m not bothered.)
Snacks
A handful of walnuts, two squares of 85% chocolate, more milky coffees and some glucose to boost my BG after a walk.
Footnote: I have insulin-dependant T3c Diabetes and digestion problems so I need to eat about 2200 kcals a day or I lose weight rapidly.
