Brilliant, thanks
This was not being directed at any one person, I can't think of one individual, it was just the feeling I got.
But with regards to other point - Sorry it is not convenience, it is lazyness. Convenience would, at best, be buying a healthy ready meal.
I spend around 40-60 minutes per night preparing all my food for the following day, every single meal. Although you could probably do it in half that. Even better is when you make things like chilli or bolognese in huge batches and fridge/freeze a weeks worth.
If I have a really hard stressful day and I become lazy and don't do it, I get up early, and rush around preparing it before work like a tit.
If the food choices are not sufficient, then change them.
Preperation and consistency are key.
9.30am- break- 2x wholemeal toast with butter and marmite
2pm lunch- 2x seeded rolls with vege sausages and side salad
7pm dinner- half a jacket potato with vege chilli- chopped tomatoes, mixed beans, chilli beans and a little grated cheese
A bloody healthy day for me! I'm quite impressed!
To be fair, I do try and go for the "healthy" option as much as I can (porridge with breakfast and a chicken and bacon salad deli with lunch, usually with OJ or water and a 175 cal donut) but those are the things that take time and when it's busy they just won't do it, or it will take ages to do, and by the time it's done I won't have time to eat it. The two days I made a point of commenting on were days when it was really busy and one of the days was a day when I wasn't going home and I knew I probably wasn't gonna get any dinner so I got a bit of food after work (there is no other place to get food other than Burger King or KFC between McD's and the train station). I was just making a point, is all.
Anyway - today I had a bacon and egg muffin, a sausage and egg muffin, porridge with jam, 2 OJ's, 2 donuts and 2 cans of Relentless.
break-few strawberries
lunch-apple crisps
tea- quorn burger and stir-fried brocolli, green beans and pepper
mini ice lolly
Oats bar mid morning.
Sushi and chicken rice for lunch.
Naughty pack of crisps in the afternoon.
Salad, ham and quiche for dinner.
Followed by another naughty treat of Banoffe pie for dessert.
Do you not realise you are just listing a load of excuses ?
Why can't you eat bolognese at work ? Do you not have a microwave ? It also tastes fine cold IMO.
If not then cold wholeweat pasta is nice with a dash of green pesto on it
If you have somewhere to eat sandwhiches, you can eat any cold meal.
Where do your wages go then if you don't mind me prying?
A pack of wholemeal pittas and some chicken breast could make some lovely alternatives to sandwhiches for a very cheap price
Fill with salad, chicken breast maybe humous or mayo etc
AND I did say that those two days were particularly bad and that I was using them to make a point.
*shutting up now*
Out of interest do you not feel really bloated and gross when you eat all that type of food? When I eat a lot of stodgey fat stuff I always feel a bit slower than normal and surely your toilet business is not how it should be?! Have always wondered if people who constantly eat food like that just get used to that feeling and toilet stuff and just think it's normal
Then for my break I will have a peanut butter sandwich (on white bread, because that's not a crime, it's just bread) and then a whole sliced long pointy pepper thing, half a sliced cucumber and a massive carrot. Also a wagon wheel if there are any left. Wagon wheels are amazing!
eat I forgot 2 slices of toast with peanut butter this morning, and then 2 satsumas and a little chocolate teacake thing.
Bran Flakes with sliced banana for breakfast
Salt & vinegar Snack-a-jacks
A pear
Brown baguette with chicken mayo and sweetcorn
Snickers bar
Pot of grapes
Actually, looking at it, that's not as much as I thought. Can't decide what to have for tea, maybe the man will cook if I bribe him :chin:
2 slices toast with duck and orange pate
300g cherries
A jacket potato with cheese, salad and some coleslaw
Can't really eat much..sore throat
Yeah I always find that. In my head it feels like a lot and then I type it out here and it's noothing
Today
2 sausage buns
Toast
1/3 of a Flake.
Tea's lasagne and salad I believe.
Shit considering I'm supposed to be trying to lose weight but I went to the gym and aqua fit this morning.
I wish cherries werent so bloody expensive. Got some from work the other day, ate the pack in about 10 minutes haha. I need some more fruit n veg in todays. Going to get my tray of suger snap peas. Probably with eat the lot but I can live with that
Kangoo - yeh, I get free food for my break and on occasions if I had a really early break (as in, 2 hours into a 9 hour shift) I'll get something on the way out 'cause I get discount.
Kate - thank you
Lol I know! It's like some people are afraid to say what they eat, either that or a lot of people on here starve themselves.
I've eaten toast today which was well nice cos it's a fresh loaf
a banana
yogurt break bar
and just about to have dinner which is chicken, carrots, peas and dauphinoise (think that's how to spell it?) potatoes
Who are you ? Her mother ?
I didn't single her out, she singled herself out in response to my comment which I have engaged in conversation about. At no point have I been offensive or said she needs to justify anything - so what the fuck are you talking about tbh ?
Franki - Sorry, but I do think that's a load of bullshit. If you have the money to buy Relentless (That's about a quid a can) then you have the money to buy food.
Food is not pricey to eat on a budget, a bag of pasta costs less than a quid (thats a can of Relentless to you - and would last 7 days on a standard portion.
If you can't stand it cold, as I said, there are other options, such as wholemeal pittas or wraps which you could put a healthy filling in. Wholemeal Egg Mayo with low fat mayo and salad etc ? cold potato salad ?
If you're worried about your chicken "going off before it gets used" - then freeze it ? It's not rocket science.
The truth is you can't be arsed and you don't want help, you just want to eat shit. That's fine, but don't pretend like you can't do anything about it. For someone who has the drive to attend uni, I would of thought you would be more driven with regards to other problems.
I won't bother posting anymore, if you do decide to do something about it, then feel free to post or drop me a PM, I am more than happy to help.
Meal 1 - 2 Eggs & 1 Quorn Sausage
Meal 2 - Cheese and Onion salad on Wholemeal bread (had to buy this out as I was waiting for shopping to arrive today!)
Meal 3 - Wholeweat pasta and quorn fillets tossed in Pataks Madras paste (yum)
Meal 4 - Small serving of vegetable lasagne with wholeweat pasta sheets
Probs have some cottage cheese before bed
Today was crap for me in all honesty, too much sat fats, not enough protein, but all in all the cals and content were kept reasonable lean and in line with my goals.
On a good note, the shopping came so I can crack on again tomorrow!
Yo Sushi for lunch. I have now been there every working day for the past week. Had veg rice, crab katsu, salmon and tuna maki, and some sashimi.
Some Crazy sour skittles in the afternoon.
Dinner was pork chops, pasta and a homemade sweet and sour sauce.
