I had Pizza for lunch, then rice, boneless chicken & pork 'n' beans for dinner, then peanut butter and jelly sandwich as a late snack. Right before bed I had peanut butter crackers. I drank water and OJ. I also had 2 bites of cookies. I don't allow myself much sweet stuff.

Yesterday I had home made fried rice with stir fried vegetables, some chips, loads of water and 2 cans of soda.

Today I realized I liked yesterday but was to lazy to make rice so I did hokkien noodles and stir fried vegetables again (rice was better), some chips, a brownie, loads of water.

I tend to eat meat sparingly (twice a week maybe), today I'm making home made chicken fingers, baked with herb and garlic and breaded with panko bread crumbs, a salad, and corn on the cob halves. (Its friday so I try to spice it up for the kids with movie night and something more kid friendly)

I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch in well over 10 years so nothing there for me.

Not good food here as my back in spasm and think I have slipped a disc

Yesterday

Had cup of tea

1 cup of coffee

Bowl of weetabix 3 with full fat milk

In the afternoon

1 large chocolate bar...more cups of tea

Packet of quavers

Today it's 2.30 in afternoon n not eaten yet

Had 2 cups of tea 1 cup of coffee

Thinking I'll have Beans on toast for my meal....nothing In the fridge really inspired me...maybe I'll have weetabix again

I usually only have 1 meal a day around 1.30

Occasionally I can manage a breakfast n if I do it a toasted teacake or toast n marmalade

My microvave broke at Christmas so that altered what I eat.

Used to eat better when wasn't in depression but even then it's still one big meal a day n a sweet pudding later in the afternoon as a treat

I mostly eat protein for breakfast and coffee with half n half and raw sugar. I know we should not drink coffee but I LOVE it and one cup a day is enough. Lunch and dinner I eat seafood and chicken. I eat sides of green vegetables and a small side carb like baked potato, sweet potato, pasta, bread or rice. I avoid fried food completely, any tomato based food, and citrics. I munch on fruit, nuts, a piece of dark chocolate and yogurt. I drink water and ginger ale and no alcoholic beverages.

I cook every day and eat out every other Saturday or Sunday.

It is thank you so much for answering! 😁😁

I also am wanting to eat cauliflower based foods I have no offers how to handle them though

in reply to Grigiofaegirl

Oh yeah? They are super easy to make! All you need to do is steam a head of cauliflower until it's soft, throw it into a high powered blender, add some olive oil and a little salt and then you have cauliflower mashed potatoes! You can add garlic when you steam the head to give it more flavor, but it's super easy.

Dinner!!! Because those are some of my fav ingredients 🙌🏽 thank you so much

in reply to Grigiofaegirl

Awesome! Yeah, I found that you can really modify these recipes to your liking! I just look online now and that makes life so easy, especially if you're not a very good cook! I hope it works out for you!

Good morning. I’m wondering if you found any commonalities?

I eat...

Breakfast: quinoa flakes with flax meal and three eggs.

If I have lunch it’s typically a salad with mixed greens, roasted veggies, quinoa, chicken and homemade salad dressing.

Dinner: salad or chicken or fish with veggies and maybe potatoes or rice. Once a week bison.

Rarely do I eat out, if I do, it’s sushi.

I eat mostly organic, all gluten and dairy free. I avoid acids, sugar, alcohol.

I hope this helps. Looking forward to hearing about your findings. Have a great day!

in reply to RockClimbing

I admire your daily meals! Amen to avoiding sugar, alcohol and processed foods! :D
