Must Eat More Vegetables

18 May 2008 at 7:03 pm (food diary)

Posted by Becky

One thing I have noticed in the last week of celebratory meals for my birthday is the meals I have had as “treats” have been woefully lacking in vegetables. I am usually much better than this. A side effect of this blog is that it shows me that I must get back to healthy eating. However, it will have to be after today.

I meant to have a big brunch so that we wouldn’t need any lunch but got hungry around 2pm so we had left-overs from last night’s barbecue. Then, when it came to cook dinner I just wasn’t hungry and had prawn crackers instead. (For the record, I had a lovely nutritious meal of grilled Tilapia, asparagus, carrots, and brocolli with pasta planned. Oh, well it will wait until tomorrow)

Meal Food | Drink Calories
Brunch 2, 5-inch pancakes 120
2 rashers bacon 150
2 cups black filter coffee 4
Lunch! Tescos Light Choices beefburger 297
ketchup and mayonaise 30
diet coke 0
Dinner Sharwoods Prawn Crackers 150
2 glasses white wine 178

Emma’s birthday not-quite-blow-out

18 May 2008 at 12:07 pm (food diary)

Posted by Anna

Emma celebrated her 18th birthday on Saturday. I went over to give her her pressies in the morning and then she and her bf went to Giraffe for a light brunch and some shopping. Her dad and I met her for lunch at 2:30 (hence the need for an elevensies snack) at Carluccios. Once again I had the pan fried chicken, but gave about a third of it to David. That evening, Emma came over to my place with a bunch of her friends (they were going to meet on Richmond Green but the uncertain weather caused her to change venue). They ordered Dominos and I joined in. I’d also bought some small cakes to share, one with a candle in so Emma could have the old Happy-Birthday-singsong-and-blow-the-candle-out thing. It was the first sweet thing (other than fruit) I’d eaten in over a week and actually, it left me feeling a bit sick for a while, so I won’t be doing that again!

Dominos has all the nutritional information on their website (see food-guide link at the bottom of the homepage if you haven’t already found it). I had to calculate my pizza as they only show figures for small (9.5″), not personal (7″). So I looked at the weight (253 cals per 100g and guessed it weighed about 300g.

Back on the wagon today…

Breakfast Yoghurt 70
Snack 3 crispbreads and lo-fat cheese 129
Lunch Pan fried chicken + tomato salad 410
Dinner Dominos 7″ cheese and tomato 759
2 chicken strippers 128
Slice garlic bread 145
Small choc eclair 104
Drinks 1 cup of tea + various 0 cal bevs 20
