What have you eaten today?

[robert72]

Same breakfast an lunch. Had cherry tomato, red pepper, red onion and turkey seasoned with jerk spices and roasted with a mound of extra mature cheddar for dinner.

For pudding I had a packet of dark chocolate buttons (only available in Sainsbury's), only 10g carbs per pack. YOU MUST BUY THESE, THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Here's a link: http://www.beyonddark.co.uk

Website says my Sainsbury's has them. Just over the road so I'm off there right now

Quadruple espresso?!

Lol, many years ago before I got kicked upstairs I was a hardcore low level systems programmer, did all my best work at 3am. I have cut right back on my coffee intake but still like a good hard fix first thing in the morning, I don't have any more after that though.

This thread is such a good idea!

Breakfast - 1 weetabix
Lunch - 2 slices of toast with scrambled egg, Greek style yoghurt coconut flavour
Tea - 2 sausages, chips and 2 fried eggs.

Where do you get greek style yoghurt with coconut?

 

[SamJB]

Me too Tommo, embedded C in the olden days. Moved "upstairs" (or sideways maybe!) now too.

That's a shame. Keep an eye out for them!

I'm intrigued by the varying quantities that people put away per day - some I think I'd starve to death on...

Breakfast: small chicken thigh and handful raw baby spinach, herbal tea and a bit of water

Lunch: feta cheese, 5 olives, 2 cherry tomatoes, handful fresh basil all in olive oil, again herbal tea & water

Dinner: Lovely piece of steak with cream & mushroom sauce, and masses of broccoli, 1 square Lindt 85% chocolate, again herbal tea & water

No snack but water throughout the day, I can't drink enough at the moment, and I used to drink gallons!

I'll have more salad - saved from dinner- with a bit more cheese for supper.

I usually aim for about 1600 net calories, so the amount I eat depends on how active I am with my exercise, I normally burn between 400-600 cals a day at this time of year so I'm actually consuming between 2000 and 2200 cals per day

B: mackerel and eggs
L: linseed loaf sandwich, boiled egg, yogurt
D: mixed kebab from the takeaway (minus the naan bread) and dark rum and diet coke (off to Ireland tomorrow to watch the rugby, so today is Friday to me!)

I must try this linseed loaf, as it's gluten-free

Have a good trip
