What have you eaten today?

Cuppa first thing.
2 thickly buttered crumpets. Drinking choc. NB. I use a small tub of Lurpak weekly !! 750g size lasts me just slightly over 2 weeks. Greedy or what ? Have weighed the same for years give or take the odd 1lb increase.
Dinner will be the remains of the casserole and more mashed potatoes piled on the plate. Rice pud done in the oven ( with a thick skin ) Cheese and crackers later and coffee in between.

Keep going with your lovely food girls it keeps you going.

Yesterday:
Cup of tea and dark chocolate biscuit.
Breakfast out at 10.30ish - bacon, sausage, baked beans slice of brown toast and extra bacon because they'd run out of eggs! Latte.
Lunchtime glass of Prosecco!
Before dinner, glass of red vermouth topped up with lots of ginger beer.
Medium rare steak with homemade potato wedges, peas and onion ring.
Glass of red wine.
Small glass of myrtleberry liqueur that DD brought me back from Sardinia.
Hot chocolate and couple of squares of dark chocolate.

Yesterday as well as my usual mountain usual amount. I ate a whole chocolate orange. I'm just getting ready for a long walk !

Bag of crisps and a coffee.

Yesterday:
No breakfast, just a cup of tea.
Lunch of tomato soup (can),
Cheese toastie,
One and a half chocolate digestived and a cup of tea.
Dinner out with friends at a push pub.
Roasted celeriac soup with home baked bread and butter,
Stuffed turkey, herb and parmesan gnocchi,
sprouts, celeriac puree, picked cranberies, parsnips. (2 or 3 of each)
Sticky toffee pudding and one scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ginger beer, and glass of water.

It was all beautifully presented. The first time we'd been since it was modernised and extended.

Gosh, there are some healthy food plans here! I started off well, just porridge for breakfast, but it was downhill from there...
Lunch: 2 slices toast with salmon pateand a satsuma
3 chocolates, 2 rich tea biscuits
1 buttered cracker
Dinner; Fishcake and potato wedges followed by stewed fruit with custard
Snack to finish the last little bit of ice cream (with posh wafers)

I’m dreadful for snacking, especially in the evenings. I do try not to, but often fail miserably!

Good grief, I hardly eat that much in a week!

❤️

With all the healthy and moderate eating described above for yesterday, I’d better do my walk of shame out here in Malaga!

I had:
2 cups of tea
2 slices crusty bread, toasted with plenty of butter and raspberry jam.
A banana.
Mug of coffee.
Off on the train to spend Saturday afternoon in a very popular plaza where I had:
A tanqueray gin & tonic.
Half a bottle of Rioja with tapas of fat chips & mayo, pork fillet & Brie with warm red cabbage on tostado and some chicken on a skewer with crusty bread.
Back home on the train to stop off at a local bar - happily and unplanned joining friends, for 2 more glasses of Rioja (hmm) and a platter of barbecue meats to share - chicken wings, belly pork, liver pieces on skewers (a local specialty I’ve never had before - gorgeous!) and more bread.
Got home 8pm
Had a mug of Green & Black’s hot chocolate with a wedge of date and walnut cake baked by a friend that morning.

Oh well. I enjoyed it all.

❤️

It's so interesting to see exactly what others eat in a day. I'm beginning to realise why I'm a stone over weight...

F'r instance, yesterday, porridge with raspberries and blueberries for breakfast, a couple of cups of tea and a satsuma; lunch at a local pub with visiting niece and gt nephew comprised a chicken fajitas sizzler, no pud..yet. Then at a coffee shop that afternoon, a blackberry crumble slice thing with another cuppa.

Later that evening, TWO pieces of the too-delish Aldi Christmas cake bar and a cheese sandwich on wholemeal (one slice only though). I think it's the evenings that are my downfall.

Today so far, two cups of tea and a satsuma.

Forgot to add, we did walk almost 13,000 steps yesterday.

I love reading what everybody's been eating!

I fear another bottomless pit day - it's only 11.20

Have friends coming for lunch, all big eaters and drinkers however I've already done a 90 minute walk so that should cancel out a glass or two of wine

I like your style ...oldbatty

Greedy guts

Same as every day for the last four years, porridge for breakfast and very soft jacket potato for my evening meal

Oooh my mouth is watering EllenVannin I love crumpets and can't get them here, lashings of butter - yummy. I have ordered some in my Christmas parcel.
I have just had home made onion soup and 2 satsumas for lunch, ok then I also sinned and had some crisps.

Riverwalk
Nine if that is properly filling.
Try having a bowl of oatmeal or granola, sliced banana and blueberries to start your day or avocado on sourdough with 2 poached eggs.
Root mash and greens with your fish at lunchtime and an oatcake with peanut butter mid afternoon.
Baked potato in the evening with tuna mayo or beans or quiche, pasta etc.
You need carbs in moderation to make you feel sated.
Sugary stuff will just give you a temporary spike which will cause you to want another one and another....
without actually filling you up.
These are only patterns I follow as I have no qualifications in nutrition to be able to advise.

Oh mabon1 what is wrong with you? Are you ill, depressed, or just having a bad day? This is a fun thread, well it’s making me ? have you never tucked into something delicious or necked a large gin? If not, try it, may make you more fun or pleasant!

*None not nine

Greyduster - where did you find leeks? I've been hankering after homemade leek and potato soup - bought the potatoes but couldn't find any leeks for love nor money!

Sounds a bit lush

Your advice is spot on Gabriella. I wish I could get into some sort of decent pattern regarding food.

mabon seems to be going through a tough time which partly accounts for her comments?

We’ve got loads of leeks in our allotment, Willow. I’ll wheel some over.

Maybe mabon’s just joking, Nannylovesshopping? Or maybe not.

I’m just glad to see some of the latest contributors are gourmets (greedy guts) like me.
