Diet

I thought it would be fun to write down what you ate today - to give others ideas of a daily routine.


Breakfast - Soy milk, banana smoothie, with vanilla soygurt, ice, flaxseed oil, vanilla essence.

Lunch - sushi takeaway - with salmon and edamame (soy beans)

Snack - handful of nuts and dried fruits (eg macadamia, almond, raw cashew, apricot, sultanas)

Dinner - roast vegetables (I spray with olive oil spray and cook at 170degrees Celsius) on a bed of quinoa with a can of white beans thrown over the top, dressing olive oil, lemon and wholegrain mustard dressing. Can eat hot or cold, I prefer cold, so it's like a salad.

Sweet snack - Sesame Snap (crunchy sweet biscuit)


What did you eat today?

Great idea Ms F!

For me, breakfast was muesli (from the recipe section) with apple juice over it.

Lunch, a salad sandwich with hummus. Carrots and cherry tomatoes to nibble on.

Dinner - vegan lasagne (recipe from Good Chef, Bad Chef - very nice and here's the link:

And drink at least 2L water per day, which helps me stop snacking so much.
