Whats your NORMAL food

[megga]

So what do you eat day in day out. I find it a struggle.
Monday to Friday (Saturday and sunday i'll not eat most of the time until evening meal)

Breakfast, always 1 pack of breakfast biscuits

lunch sandwich's, just gone back on to Burgen, 4 slices with marge, normally ham and lettuce. or 2 slices and crisps.

Dinner
Oven chips or mash
battered fish
sausage's
Pie
pork
chicken
cheese and onion bake
Veg, Brussels, peas, broccoli carrots
gravy with mash, or beans with chips.
either a bottle of wine or 4-5 beers

This is being honest and I am trying to change, cut out bad fats and alcohol.

Whats your daily diet

 

[Northerner]

For a long time now I have:

Breakfast: Always a slice of Burgen toast, buttered (not a big breakfast eater!)

Lunch: Either a sandwich (2 slices Burgen, with ham salad or cheese), or a couple of soft-boiled eggs with 2 slices of Burgen, toasted. Usually followed by a small banana and a yoghurt.

Evening meal: Can vary, but generally home-made chilli, curry, shepherd's pie, sausage and mash, spag bol, quiche and salad, salmon - all that sort of thing accompanied by the appropriate rice, pasta, potatoes, chips, veg. Usually followed by a chocolate biscuit or similar treat 🙂

(I'll move this to the main message board - was just thinking of starting a similar thread as they have been very popular and useful in the past 🙂)

[banjo]

In a normal day i have

Breakfast - porridge sometimes with a scattering of raisins or some cinnamon

Dinner(or lunch for non yorkshire folk) - 2 slices of livlife bread with a little grated cheese in and some raw red onion, more onion than cheese. Or home made tomato and orange soup - sometimes with dry fried chorizo so its crunchy thrown in.
1 banana 1 small orange or clementine and a handful of grapes.

Tea(or dinner for non yorkshire folk - sigh southeners always get this wrong) - allsots from sausage to chicken etc with maybe sometimes a small tablespoon of mash ( all home made - what everyone else has listed above lol), with usually 3/4 veggies.

no snacks

no alchohol

 

[qwertyfan]

I usually have some toast in the mornings, not used to this idea of having breakfast, 40 odd years of not bothering have been overcome quite easily though!
I find soup and bread a good staple for lunch, and usually aim to make both the soup and the bread if I've had the time. I work from home, so this is a bit easier than for most I guess.
And tea/dinner usually consists of food from above sea level, again cooked from scratch rather than prepack.
Usually chicken based or beef, about 5:2 ratio on white meat: red meat.
Beer is good. but I really ought not.....I get bored easily though...

 

[KookyCat]

I'm fairly consistent at lunch and breakfast as you'll see!

Breakfast
Greek yoghurt with unsweetened stewed Apple
2 small slices of wholemeal toast with nut butter

Lunch
Wholemeal sandwich and a nakd bar (usually cashew nut cookie) and one of my snacks.

Dinner
Salad mostly, but interspersed with aubergine Parmesan, chicken and veg casserole, stewed pork with veg, and very occassionally pasta. Pudding when I have one is an eclair or dark chocolate.

Snacks
Olives and cheese
Oat biscuits
Mozarella and tomato
Nuts
Pickled chillies
Chillies stuffed with cream cheese

I like small meals really and prefer little and often really hence the snacks 🙂

If I were you, my immediate priority would be to stop drinking a bottle of wine every night. That is incredibly dangerous.

I am trying to give the wine and beer a miss as i know its very bad, my trouble is, when i open a bottle, I have to finish it.

The home made KFC sounds nice any chance of sticking the recipe in the food section.

 

[Abi]

what about the mini bottles of wine or just buying 1 can beer at a time?
Other possibility assuming you live with a partner, relative, spouse or house mate- get them to hide bottle after they have poured you one glass

I tend to make this slightly differently - rather than deep fry it, what I do is mix up all the ingredients in a bowl, coat the chicken pieces in oil, put them in a freezer bag, tip in the seasoning, give it a good shake until the chicken is completely covered and then bake in the oven at 220c for 35 minutes. Much less messy and you don't need any special equipment.

I get the MSG from Asian supermarkets, it comes in medium-sized plastic bags.

 

[Redkite]

Megga, why not buy the mini bottles of wine? And get some 250ml bottles of beer and just have 1 or 2?

 

[HOBIE]

Never ever the same. Always have breakfast though. Could be what I feel like. Had pork & Leek sausages this morn because had more time (sat). Fish at leased every other day

 

[Maryanne29]

Breakfast
A Nutriblast - I know some are sceptical but don't knock it until you've tried it and it's never more than 10g of carbs.

Lunch
Sandwich with two slices of Burgen S&L
Or Homemade soup
Or four crackers and cheese
All followed by a satsuma or two

Dinner
Loads of veg or salad, tuna, smoked mackerel, homemade soup if I've not had it for lunch, jacket potato if I'm hungry, scrambled eggs on Burgen (not all at once though!)

Snacks
Naked bar or two Rich tea biscuits or Walkers ready salted crisps or handful of cherry tomatoes

I feel I should be quite slim on this but unfortunately I'm not!

 

[megga]

Thanks DeusXM will have to try that.
Regarding wine and beer, i just not opened a bottle. Went out for a meal on Friday, our lads 18th, so i drove, ensuring no one would by me drinks. The mr makes her own wine (and its beautiful) so we have 20 bottles left, and i have my home brew, just not touched them for a week.

 

[AlisonM]

For me, breakfast is usually oatmeal in winter, home made yoghurt with nuts/berries otherwise and an occasional full on grill up. Main meal these days is lunch, which is often made in the slow cooker in winter. Soups, casseroles and stews with loads of veggies. Evening meal might be soup or salad, sometimes a treat like cheese on toast. I try not to snack, but might make some sweet potato crisps or have carrot sticks with a dip.
