A typical days meals goes like this:
Breakfast
Porridge made with 50/50 skimmed/semi skimmed milk - no sugar or substitute
Maybe once a week when we go shopping we will have breakfast out so then it is toasted bread with olive oil and fresh tomato. That is about the only time I eat bread
Lunch:
Homemade veg soup (no bread) or grilled fish (salmon, sardines or mackeral) with a very small jacket potato
For a mid morning or afternoon snack I will have either a banana (not too ripe) or if I have any, some home made fruit cake made with no sugar added or maybe 2 digestive biscuits
Evening meal:
Grilled chicken or very lean pork (with no fat)
Brown rice or wholemeal pasta or a small jacket potato and a little veg
or
Wholemeal Pasta or spaghetti with homemade tom sauce (Toms from my garden
)
for a pudding I normally have an orange
If I am hungry in the evenings I will have a shredded wheat with skimmed milk or no added sugar muesli and skimmed milk
My diet doesn´t vary that much from above. I might make chicken meatballs now and again. In the summer I will eat more salad foods.
We live in Spain and I don´t get to see a dietician here, so any advice on food would be appreciated.
I´m type 2 but my sugars are well under control- just my cholesterol that needs sorting out (5.8)
I´m about 1 1/2 stone overweight. trying to get it down gradually though.
I´m taking cod liver oil tablets and drink a Benecol drink every day.
I don´t like cheese!
I look forward to your help
Thanks
