Lovely British Barbecues

11 May 2008 at 8:53 am (food diary)

Posted by Becky

I knew watching calories today was going to be difficult because a) we were invited to a barbecue and b) it was to celebrate my birthday so I’d have to have birthday cake. (no hardship really!) I tried to be good all day in preparation and I don’t think I did too badly. At least I didn’t eat as much as I would have in the past.

The weather was really beautiful and it was lovely sitting outside until about 10 pm. My problem with barbecues is that more and more meats come off the grill and also there are loads of lovely salads, rolls, potato wedges, etc that stay on the table all evening and it is difficult not to sit and pick at food as you talk.

We brought home the remainder of the birthday cake. I’d better go and throw it in the bin before I eat the rest!

Meal Food | Drink Calories
Breakfast Roll and butter 150
boiled egg (white only) 20
black coffee 2
Lunch 1/2 cheese pizza from Pontis 250
Snack chips and dip 150
Dinner 1 burger 350
1 prawn kebab 21
potato wedges 150
1 glass wine 78
1 Pimms 70
Dessert birthday cake 350
