The heat makes me eat less...well..to a degree...I've just had a bag of salt & vinegar crisps and cut myself a wedge of sharp strong cheese and popped it into the bag .. ate it like a little mouseblush..sounds crazy I know but it was delish and that's my lunch today and now not hungry... whats your heat snack?

Sainsburys egg custard tart (a pack of two found its way into my basket when shopping this morning). Just having one with coffee now and I don't hold out much hope of the second one still being in the fridge by this evening.

Brunch not brush!

We have a buffet style meal with ham, various cheeses, coleslaw, potato salad, scotch eggs, buttered crackers, salad, and crisps. That's enough for the day but may have cake for supper. Not very hungry as too hot.

I stick to fresh salads, fruit and veggies/chicken all year round. And, lots and lots of ice cold water.

Chilled melon/ pineapple/cucumber is really refreshing in the heat.

Cold Muller kefir smoothie, mango and orange flavour...delicious

I get up late and have brush around 10.30. Cereal and fruit. Coffee and cake around 4. Small cooked tea at 7. That's it. I weigh 10 stone and am disabled but no pain thank goodness.

too hot for lunch, so had a nectarine, and then a small handful of almonds.

a bit of 90% chocolate, later cold watermelon, later again strawberries with few walnuts and yoghurt plus 2 simple salad meals

Apricots, celery with Boursin, and now I’m going to freeze grapes! Thanks Lexisgranny.

Yesterday I invented quite a nice fishcake made with leftover risotto and tinned salmon. Today I shall make a fried risotto cake with organic kidney beans and put tomato ketchup on it.

I peel and cut up an apple, then cubes of cheddar cheese. They're lovely together. 'Pudding' is usually a choc ice.

That used to be my lunch quite often when I was a student - an apple and a piece of cheese!

Hi I've been on gluten free diet since late December 2021 , have tried all gluten free bread, none are edible, even made my own. I seem to eat same foods week in week out. On plus side have lost 11kgs. Any snack ideas , healthy please. Thanks Janet ?

So was my pile of sourdough and butter, pasta salad, cashew nuts, bowl of cherries, bowl of strawberries, packet of frozen Mintolas - I could go on

Ah well, we had strawberries with blackberry coulis and icecream. But that was pudding, not a snack! wink

Gosh you're all so healthy and with tiny appetites. I'm too embarrassed to list what I've been eating. blush

The nectarine was just a snack ?

Or must I choose a food?

Grannyben Mon 08-Aug-22 20:17:58

I've had salmon with roasted sweet potatoe wedges and a salad. I'm trying to be healthy this week and the salad really needed using up

Frozen melon slices

bridie54 Mon 08-Aug-22 19:58:58

I love a handful of lightly salted tortilla chips ( the cheapies from any supermarket does me) and a wee dip of whatever is in the fridge. Could be Philly cheese, or hummus and tonight will be chilli jam which I had with strong cheddar and crackers for lunch.
It’s an evening snack usually . During the day I’m nibbling on my home grown blueberries.

Buttered toast is my ‘snack’ ?

Auntieflo Mon 08-Aug-22 19:38:29

Frozen tiny peas and sweet corn kernels, are lovely as a cold snack.
