What I Ate Wednesday (30.1.18)

Breakfast 8:30am 

Today for breakfast I decided to have toast, which I don't usually have but I really fancied it. I had 2 slices of wholemeal bloomer bread, with some Meridian crunchy peanut butter and a sliced banana on top; my favourite topping on toast. As usual I also had water and a cup of tea with my breakfast. 

Lunch 1:30pm

I hadn't eaten anything since breakfast and was absolutely starving after my gym class. For lunch I went for a wholemeal flat bread which I toasted with; falafels, sweet potatoes, cucumber and plum tomatoes to dip into some organic humous. I love lunches like this and I find them so filling. Obviously, I also had water with it, and I also had a cup of tea after eating my lunch.

Dinner 6:30pm

It was just a quick and simple dinner tonight. I had a jacket potato done in the oven with grated cheddar cheese and spring onion, along with a mountain of steamed broccoli and some more water. 

Dessert 7pm
Following my dinner I had something sweet to end the night. I had a chopped up nectarine with some Alpro Simply Plain yogurt and a cup of tea.

What I Ate Wednesday (23.1.18)

Breakfast 8am

Today I had my homemade granola (recipe coming soon), with natural Greek yogurt and fresh blueberries with my usual cup of tea made with semi- skimmed milk and a bottle of water.

Lunch 12:30pm 
For lunch I had half of the Yorkshire Provender Roast Chicken and Traditional Vegetable Soup with black pepper on top, and two small slices of fresh granary bread from a local bakery with dairy-free spread. I also had another bottle of water, which I have been topping up and drinking from all morning. After my soup I had another cup of tea and a banana.

 Dinner 6pm
Today I didn't have a snack between lunch and dinner but most often I will do. For dinner tonight I had salmon baked in the oven, corn on the cob, spinach, baby potatoes, and a mountain of rocket as I really fancied it (sorry its falling off my plate, haha!)

Dessert 7pm
I usually always fancy something sweet after dinner and I will often have fruit. Today I made a healthy crumble. This is something I do quite a lot and love it. I just stew down some fruit with a splash of water usually apples, but today I had one stewed pear. I then top it with a some oats and some of my homemade granola to make the crumble topping. Then I add a spoonful of natural yogurt.  I also had a decaf tea.

That's it!

What I Ate Wednesday (16.4.14) / (18.4.14)

Breakfast

Porridge again- sorry, but I do love my porridge. This time I'm having the chocolate variety and I've added a few strawberries. I drank a glass of water before I had my breakfast and with my breakfast I had another glass of water.

Morning Snack

As it was nearly Easter on the day I took the photographs for this weeks What I Ate Wednesday, I had a hot cross bun. I don't normally like hot cross buns as I don't like raisins. But M&S have brought hot cross buns with chocolate chips in instead of raisins and it also contains toffee and fudge. 

Lunch 

I wasn't really that hungry at lunchtime, so I just had something light. I had some watercress salad with cheddar cheese, cucumber and ham. 

Afternoon Tea 

We went out for afternoon tea and obviously I was going to have a a cup of tea and a scone with jam and clotted cream. You may have seen this on Sunday's post. I never know whether to put the jam or the cream on first and I seem to change it every time.

Dinner 

I forgot to take pictures of my dinner on Wednesday, but Friday we went out for dinner. I had a fish pie which came with kale and red cabbage. It was an absolute massive portion but I still managed to eat it all.

Dessert

For my dessert I had a warm chocolate brownie which was covered in melted chocolate and came with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!! 

That's everything. This weeks What I Ate Wednesday had meals from two days and consisted of a lot of treats but I thought it would be more interesting as I ate out.

What I Ate Wednesday (14.4.14)

Breakfast

I just wanted something quick and easy for breakfast so I had porridge with a banana and as a treat I added golden syrup to sweeten it. Then as usual I had a cup of tea as I need the caffeine in the morning to keep me awake as I had lot of revision to get done today. Also I just had a glass of water as I've been suffering from a lot of headaches recently and it think it could be down to dehydration, so I'm now making sure I drink 8 glasses of water a day.

 Lunch

I decided to eat my lunch outside today as the weather was so nice and sunny. I had a cheese topped roll which I heated up so it was nice and warm and then inside I just had Primula original cheese spread. On the side I had some carrot sticks and cucumber with houmous and this bean and white cheese salad. I also had another glass of water.

Snack

For a snack I really fancied some fruit so I had some pineapple and grapes with a smoothie. The smoothie I had was the Innocent pomegranate, blueberries and acai one, and this one is one of my favourites. It also contains red and white grapes, bananas, orange, and lemon juice and 1 glass is 2 of your 5 a day. I also had a glass of water.

Dinner 

 I had Korma curry made with pork and served with rice. On the side I had peas and Mattar paneer which is basically peas in a tomato based sauce with farmer cheese and its absolutely delicious. I also had another glass of water.

Dessert/ Evening Snack 

Not very exciting but a bit of a chocolate fix and as a treat I had a KitKat and 3 Jaffacakes both of which were delicious. Also I had another glass of water. 

That's it!
