Are you getting enough?

Yesterday I had NO veg and NO fruit other than bananas.

I really have to work on healthy choices when I'm away from home

Big salad for lunch today - badly needed.
Dinner tonight will be poached fish on pea pesto with thai kale salad and crushed spuds.

ETA: I always steam the kale as it's a goitrogen. It also removes all the bitterness if you steam it.

Beans for breakfast


Grapes as a snack this morning


Home-made cottage pie for dinner. been in freezer a few weeks so can't remember quite what went into it - definitely grated carrot, onion, mushrooms, peas and some spinach - probably 2 portions of veg per serving. Serving it with sweetcorn. Fruit juice.


Total 4 veg : 2 fruit

I haven't eaten all day but brought 2 servings of carrots out with me so am munching through these. I'll make a small salad later so it will be a 4:0 day.

Pea pesto sounds interesting, I'll buy some frozen peas next week.

I had lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, tomato, sweetcorn, grated carrot and pine nuts for lunch, with vinaigrette dressing.

I had dinner earlier and seconds just now - poached fish on pea pesto, crushed spuds tossed in butter, garlic and sundried tomatoes, kale and carrot salad and cashews. Soo nice.

Totals today: 9:0

Not a good day yesterday - smoothie for breakfast (1), lunch was just bread and cheese, supper was carrots/broccoli/courgette and aubergines in moussaka (4).

Today has been better - avocado and tomato (2) on toast, smoothie (3); tomato salad; beetroot, carrot, orange and pomegranate salad; watermelon and cucumber salad (9).

You might see a pattern with the salads... and I'll probably having some of the same ones for supper. I also want to roast some fennel and peppers to have with lentils.

Cous Cous with peas, chickpeas, peppers, onions, sweetcorn, mushrooms and houmous pitta breads with carrot.

Today is my first day of no sugar and healthy eating. I usually eat nutritious food but also pig out with lots of junk food and in greedy large portions. I think nothing of eating whole packets of biscuits.

A big downfall for me are sachets of azera latte. I stock up when they are half price but that just encourages me to have more cups. Some days I can go through the whole box.

I have always been normal size and weight but this year alone I have put on a whole stone. My eating habits have not changed so I'm putting it down to age and hormones. I'm not really very active but I do walk 3 miles to work Monday to Friday.

I've always understood that your fruit and veg 5 a day was to be 5 different colours and potato doesn't count.

Veg... beetroot, broccoli and cauli.
Fruit..... nothing so far
Drinks.... Coconut water but will have a latte later as I don't want a caffeine headache.
