January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!

[Marika]

Yesterday was youngest sons birthsday so not a great day diet wise. But I tried to stay low during day to even out a bit. Totals of cals are ok but fat was to high.

6.30 Coffee w skimmed milk

10.00 2 rice cakes, 1 slice of plain toast (had nothing to put on...)

12.00 250 ml tomato soup, 1 slice of toast

17.30 1 veggie burger with bread and salad, a little dressing, 1 corn on the cob. 1 (pretty small) piece of his birthday cake and 1 mazarin cake (I have no idea what they are called in english! Is it the same?)

Totals: 1525 cals, 42 g protein, 56 g fat (34%)


For today the plan is:

9.00 1 Ciabatta with butter and jam and 1 slice (15 g) of cheese (I know it's early but it is breakfast with work group), coffee w milk.

12.00 Half corn on the cob, 1 veggie burger with bread and salad. (No dressing, forgot it at home)

17.30 Rice with veggie stir fry (Vietnamese take away, I'll share my with the kids)

It's hard to calculate the take away (at least the stir fry, how much fat, sugar etc is it?) so totals of today might not be so correct.

cals: 1174 (probably more, but I counted w 200 g of rice, 1 port of fried veggies, added some extra oil and thai sauce for dinner, couldn't find any great option in my app) 41 g protein and 47 g fat (37%).

Big fat cheat day today, well cheat evening when we have friends over.
5.20am coffee with whole milk
10.00am - manuka honey in hot water - i was craving a latte or a cake or both and was desperate for something so had this and it helped. Thank god because 20 mins after drinking it we had a fire drill and I am on the 25th floor of a big building in canary wharf!! Guess who made it down all the stairs easily - smug? me?
12.15pm - couldnt wait a minute longer - waitrose chargrilled vegetable soup, a rustic white bread roll (bit like a ciabatta), waitrose essential side salad and beetroot salad. Still hungry. Going to be a long afternoon...
3.45pm (if I can wait that long) - a banana, some blueberries, total greek yoghurt
6.30pm - will crack open the sauvingon blanc when my friends arrive
7.00pm - I have antipasti to start with - artichokes, grilled peppers, anchovies, pitta breads, olives in chilli & garlic, hummous, skewer of chilli&garlic prawns (will just have the one), salami (might only have one or two bits, to be sociable)
8.00pm - I am making pasta with creamy greens, lemon and cod. Not made this before but it sounds good and I am using light philadelphia instead of marscapone so there is the less is still less philosophy right there!!
9.00pm - I have a lemon meringue pie that serves 6 people for 4 of us. Oh yes.

so with that little lot I am guessing 2700 cals, 70g fat and 100g protein eek! Thank goodness for burning 820 in the gym today lol - and then the fire drill

And we have BBQs tomorrow and sunday but I will be eating veggie burgers.

Wow, sounds delicious stephk! Especially lemon meringue pie! (so sugar craving right now!) And yes you are so right, less is still less.

[stephk]

the old me would have probably got a cheesecake or something full of fat and cream so even the lemon meringue is less! I just fancied it

[Marika]

We still have cake from last night birthday party at home and it's not anything low fat about that cake. Don't know how to manage to stay away from that!

[stephk]

send it to me and i will happily dispose of it for you

[Marika]

But if the old me would have had two pieces of that cake tonight, one and a half piece should still be ok, if less is less right?

[stephk]

yes exactly!!

Well today was a pretty unhealthy day. We went to a friends BBQ, as they are vegetarian I thought it would be easy. Well with the arrival of AF this morning I was pretty gutted because it means I have a short LP. Even my aerobics class didn't lift my spirits. I'll get over it but today things were a bit all over the place.
7.00am coffee with whole milk
8.00am coffee with whole milk
12.00pm - 2 slices of hovis seed sensations toasted with heaps of Nutella. Coffee with whole milk. Pretzels crisps with Nutella. 2 chocolates.
3.30pm - was at my friends, had a bit if their pitta bread appetiser and a few Pringles (crisps)
5pm (I think, not sure) - a some salad with olive oil, garlic and balsamic dressing, a sesame seed burger bun, a veggie burger, a vegetarian sausage, a chicken skewer
8.00pm - now home and DS in bed I opened a bottle of rose cava, had 4 Marc de champagne truffles and finished the Nutella with more pretzel crisps!!!!

So I guess 2500 cals, 76g fat (42%) and 64g protein. Well there's not that much nutritional value in what I've eaten I guess....
