Just wondering what everybody are eating to reach their targets?
I've severely upped my intake of vegetables.
For breakfast I've developed my own little gem: The Frozen Blueberry Breakfast Shake :-) It's very simple: 300 ml. of skimmed milk, a scoop of protein powder and 250 grams of frozen blueberries. All blended it tastes just like 386 calories of Blueberry Soft Ice Cream.

Breakfast I had Oatmeal, for lunch I'm eating a salad with Spinach and Romain lettuce topped with garbonzo beans, beets, mushrooms and a little sprinkling of feta. I've also been drinking a lot of distilled water with cucumber slices.0

2 x wholemeal toast
10g flora light spread
Half tin baked beans
1 mug of coffee with skimmed milk
Lunch (440kcal)

Dinner (318kcal)
Cajun chicken with quinoa, puy lentils, curly kale, spinach and peppers.
My own recipe - if you like it I can send it

You can take a look at friend's meals if they have an open diary. You are welcome to add me, however I may not be so much help, I'm eating bacon, coffee, beer every day as part of this challenge, I don't have less than 2,400 cals most days and I work out a lot.

I usually have:
Breakfast: oatmeal with almond milk (unsweetened)
coffee with almond milk
Snack (morning and afternoon): apple green smoothie (apple, celery, spinach, lemon juice,water and ice)
Lunch: salad with chicken or yogurt with apple
Dinner: varies and usually my highest calorie consumption. e.g.: 1 cp dry gluten free pasta, organic sausage, spinach, onion, peppers, and tomato sauce.
I usually drink a minimum of 3L of water per day.0 -
A normal sort of day for me would be
Breakfast
3 slices of wholemeal toast with some low fat spread, and sliced banana on top, mug of tea. 380 calories
Lunch
3 egg omelette (only 1 yolk) filled with mushrooms and spring onions, low fat yoghurt and a small tub of fruit. 370 calories
Dinner
Spicy boneless Chicken thighs, served with a salad and sauted baby potatoes done in the actifryer with a few squirts of frylight and some onions and bacon pieces threw in near the end. 660 calories.
If I do any exercise I normally would eat about half the calories back in the form of fruit snacks. I never feel hungry and have usually plenty of energy so it is working well for me.0 -
I just discovered frozen fully cooked chicken breast strips. They're incredibly easy to cook, taste great and are healthy. So I've been eating two servings of those everyday just about,
Breakfast is generally eggs bacon maybe chicken. Weekends tend to be pancakes waffles or cinnamon rolls with the eggs and bacon.
Lunch is leftovers from dinner or frozen chicken
Dinner is usually chicken and vegetables or salad sometimes rice too.
Snacks are protein shakes/bars, chicken or fruit
Man I need to eat more fruits and vegetables. Now that I think about it.
I tend to fit more junk food in on the weekends. Burgers candy etc. this weekend was no different there, but I worked out more so I was able to eat candy and cinnamon rolls on Sunday, hit my macro goals and come in with a big deficit.0 -
Breakfast:
A breakfast shake made with Almond milk (reduced sugar), 1/2 cup of oats, PB2 with chocolate powder (peanut butter subsitute), & a banana
Lunch:
Something with turkey, either a turkey hot dog or turkey sandwich w/ a side of hummus & chips. Sometimes I will switch up with a salad w/ chicken.
Dinner:
Varies. Since I am only cooking for one, I will try to cook a new recipe on Sunday that will last through the week. I love to cook with fish, shrimp, or chicken. I love couscous or quinoa as a side dish.
Snacks:
Fruit & skinny cow ice cream treat
I am trying to get a much exercise as possible with youtube fitness videos that I can find.0 -
I'm working nightshift tonight so had my breakfast of 3 slices of wholemeal toast with sliced banana before I came to work, will have some low fat yoghurt, fruit and a powered cup-a-soup at my first tea break, later for my main meal I have brought in with me Chicken Curry that I had made a big pot of last week and separated in to portions and froze, I find that I can make the curry and control the calories very easily, what is more difficult is the fact that the rice I serve with it is quite high in calories so what I have started doing recently is cutting down the size of the portion of rice to about 200g (I would have normally had about twice that before) and then I would slice up about 200g of mushrooms and fry them off with a couple of squirts of frylight and a small drop of soya sauce, I then add these mushrooms to the rice to bulk it up a bit. Great way to cut the calories down but still fill you up.0

My breakfast is always the same---1/3 c oatmeal, 1/2 cup of some kind of nuts, 1 cup of berries or some kind of fruit and a cup of coffee.
Lunch is a salad and typically some leftover soup.
Dinner tonight will be Mexican themed---Pinto Beans & Brown rice stuffed portabellas, topped with greens, sliced tomatoes, avocado and homemade salsa verde!0 -
Today I ate a lot of chicken. Chicken with breakfast chicken for dinner. Lunch was fruit and protein with milk. Lots of snacks too though. Chocolate, gluten free cinnamon raisin bread, more milk and beer! Hooray for beer. But it's okay, my "weight lifting" today was actually more cardio, on top of my normal biking, then I added more actual weight lifting. At the moment (with 3 beers in me) I've still got 400+ calories to consume. Maybe I will have a bowl of frozen yogurt with fruit 0
