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

[stephk]

520am - coffee with whole milk
11.00am - a pear, a banana, some strawberries, c100g total 2% yoghurt
1.30pm - a pretzel, a waitrose rainbow salad with some roast veggies from last night (a courgette, an onion, a red pepper, some asparagus, babycorn, mushrooms with basil, rosemary and chilli), half a tub of creme de brie (amazing stuff), sweetfire beetroot
8.00pm - some wholewheat spaghetti, 1/2 small tin of drained anchovies, massive portion of tenderstem broccoli, a little vegetarian parmesan, chilli. I will use half a tablespoon of garlic infused oil to cook. And I am being naughty and having a fillet of salmon because I have really fancied one all week. For so long I have been fully veggie monday to thursday and I would normally not have the salmon with this meal but I really want it so I am having it.

So thats approx 1700 cals, 58g fat (31%) and 76g protein. I realise this is low on the cal side for me, and i burned 835 at the gym this morning. I have thought about a can of sugary pop but cant do it to myself. Besides yesterday I ended up eating a lot and tomorrow I wont be going to the gym so I think for one day I am ok with it. I dont make a habit of this many net calories.

*UPDATE* - I ended up eating 2 crackers with cheese just before I ate dinner so ended up with an extra 126 cals, 6g fat and 6g protein. So today wasnt a great day for protein and fat totals however I did enjoy every mouthful

No gym today

7.00am - coffee with whole milk
11.30am - manuka honey and hot water, a pear
12.30 - some strawberries, a banana and c50g 2% total yoghurt (I know this should have been eaten with the pear but it was unavoidable)
2.20pm - a carton of waitorse chargrilled vegetable soup, waitrose rainbow salad, a pretzel and some items from the waitrose salad counter.
8.00pm - I am going for curry tonight so will definitely have a garlic naan, will definitely have saag paneer but not sure on the curry. Will either be something like a garlic chilli chicken or king prawn balti or something like that. Will also have a bottle of sauvingon blanc.
I have an apple on my desk that I will eat at some point this afternoon too.

So thats approx 2350 cals, 76g fat (32%) and 75g protein if I have the chicken.

I dont feel like I have been very good with the totals this week but I am feeling down about having no AF. I have enjoyed the food and will try to start off better again from monday.

My days are usually the same so I will post it

Breakfast (8-9am)
Banana smoothie (low fat milk, banana, nesquik, fibre powder and cinnamon) with two pieces of white toast with cinnamon sugar, jam or peanut butter (if I am low on fat)

Lunch (1-2pm)
Panini quesadilla type thing on 2 white tortillas with cheese, mushroom and zucchini or white pasta with cheese sauce and veggies (broccoli, eggplant, tomato and mushroom) + an apple

Dinner (6-7pm)
Usually vegetables (cauliflower, zucchini, peas, corn, sweet potato and potato) with a pop tart and some popcorn if I'm low on calories.

My totals are usually around 1800 cals with 40-50g protein, 40-50g fat and the rest carbs. I also have 1-2 cups of diet coke per day with an alcoholic drink here and there and will sometimes have peppermint tea.

I am power walking on the treadmill for 60-70 minutes 6 days per week burning around 400-500 calories.

Oooh the smoothie sounds great (personally not a fan of peanut butter but if you are I bet it's fab)

I had the garlic chilli chicken tonight - need to start being good again soon....

Not many posters here, thought I would add my contribution today!

8:10 - 9:45am - Went for a 10 mile/16km outdoor run.. (got lost!!)

12ish - had lunch at a playcentre. I had 1 and 1/3rd of a mini naan (1/3rd because the boys ate the other 2/3rds of the second naan that was served), a dollop of homemade hummus, 3 falafel balls, a green salad no dressing, a few roasted veggies, a few chunky chips (rarely have such a treat lunch but needed it after a 16km run!). A glass of milk, a decaff tea with sweetener, a diet coke & a slurp of the boys jammy dodgy milkshake!!

*inbetween a caffeine free diet coke*

5:30pm - 4 low fat rice cakes, 35g philly light, a pink lady apple, 1/2 a pear, a caffeine free diet coke, perhaps another decaff tea in a moment. I may get thrown a crust of the boys pizza in a moment if I am lucky...

I don't normally eat again until the next day but I may have a glass or two of prosecco tonight since its a saturday!

I find it hard to total up when Ive eaten out but without the prosecco that is 1,164cals, 40g fat, 33g protein so I could do with eating something else.

Oh, I forgot, I did have a bite of DHs/the boys chocolate brownie!

This was yesterday:
7.00am 2 coffees with whole milk
12.30 - 2 poached eggsand mushrooms on 2 slices of toast and butter (proper butter, I cant stand margarine and I have butter so rarely anyway I dont think it matters), 1 banana.
3.00pm - I was visiting a friend in hospital and she had some chocolates so I had 2
5.30/6pm - 2 cosmopolitan cocktails
7.30/8pm - I had 3 poppy&sesame seed thin crackers with Brie as I was making dinner, dinner was a pizza express pollo pesto pizza, I put some asparagus and brie on mine, yum. I had this with some chilli oil, half a bottle of red wine and then I had a magnum chocolate & caramel infinity ice cream for dessert.

So that was approx 2450 cals, 95g fat (42% oops) and 70g protein

8.00am - coffee with whole milk
10.30am - strawberries, blueberries and 2% total yoghurt c100g, piece of toast with butter and jan, cup of weak tea with whole milk (I could have skipped breakfast but I knew i would be way too low on cals and fruit for the day so had it anyway)
