Hi I am trying to get some meal ideas as my main failure is boredom with my meals, I have noticed on some people's profiles (usually American ones) you can view other people's food diaries however as they are American I don't really know what half of the foods are!

If anyone has a viewable diary and is in the uk please comment below so I can have a nosy

Thanks :)

    My diary is open, and I'm in the UK, but you might find it a bit boring too I'm afraid!
    I eat at work a lot, so there's a fair bit of sushi (my sodium intake is terrible) and I usually cook bulgar wheat with fish and veg for tea.

    Also as I just add the ingredients most of the time you can't tell what I'm having :(
    The other day I made a stir fry and used my julienne peeler on a corgette to make the noodles! On my diary it just looks like I ate loads of corgette though heh.

    Also I'm dairy intolerant, but sometimes I take meds so I can cheat and have real cheese <3

    ETA: Yesterday's dinner was so **** because I needed to go food shopping! Had f*** all in, so had to defrost a sad portion of rice :(

    My diary is open feel free to browse, I'm not currently IIFYM, Paleo, Gluten free, clean eating or anything along those lines. Just a bit more exercise, what I think are generally 'healthy' foods and quite often just what I feel like eating at any given time. Knock yourself out. :-)


    :noway: That sinking feeling you have when you check your food diary, after telling people to have a look, to find out yesterday was a blowout Sunday afternoon at the olds

    My diary is open but it isn't the best example for perfect diet as I'm trying to do this on a very tight budget and getting used to the idea still. Feel free to have a nose though :)

    I got about 3 entries into your diary and was lost in a blizzard of brands and products I had never heard of.

    I have an open diary, unfortunately my logging has been very poor over the last two weeks but if you look before that I was very consistent at logging all my food.

    Edit: was away last week with no wifi/3G but consistently logged before that.

    mine's open and i'm from the UK :). Not sure how inspiring it is like ha, but I have been experimenting quite a bit since i started trying to eat better. Most of the things that say 'homemade ___' are where I've put the ingredients into the recipe part of the site and then added it (unless i'm feeling super lazy..:/).

    I like to have a nosy at other people's diaries for inspiration too, but run into the same problem with not understanding a lot of the american food lol.

    I have notice that a few people's have soya/almond/lactofree milk. Are they healthier than normal milk???

    My diary's open, although I've only been logging for a few days. I'm also mainly meat-free, so most of what I log is veggie. I can't promise it'll be interesting - breakfast & lunch are usually the same day in day out, I tend to cook 3 or 4 main meals a week and eat them over 2 nights - but you're welcome to have a nose :)

    I'm Scottish. My diary is open, I eat gluten-free (coeliac) so it may not be of much interest to you but it's open for inspiration or comparison for people anyways. I'm not especially creative with food and I still eat more biscuits and sweeties than I ought to, but I always stay under my daily calorie goal, save for once I think.

    Might be healthier, not sure. I have lacofree stuff cause I'm lactose intolerant.
    I have lactase tablets though for when I just really need a real pizza :D

    I have it with porridge because it's so much less calories, so gives me more to eat for the rest of the day ;P. Normal milk has way more protein however, if you don't mind a few extra cals :)

    Mine is open to friends, so feel free to add me. It's not very interesting though ... I tend to eat the same things for breakfast, lunch, and snacks every day but dinner varies. I find it easier to keep on track that way!
