Diet - what I ate today!

  • Hi All



    I have decided I am going to join in this thread as since starting tri training about 3 months ago I have proceeded to put about 1/2 stone on!!! Have a vague idea what I am doing wrong (training more now than I ever have but using it as an excuse to eat too much chocolate!), but keeping a food diary will help me keep a check of myself.



    Yesterday I was mostly eating:

    Breakfast - Porridge with raisins

    Lunch - Egg mayonnaise sandwich on brown bread, packet of worcester sauce french fries and a Longley Farm live yogurt (raspberry)

    Afternoon snack - maltesers and a few boiled sweets

    Dinner - Home made corned beef hash with 2 small yorkshire puds, some jelly beans and 1/2 a pack of after eight sweets.

    Drinks - hot water throughout day, 1 cup black coffee, 2 cups tea with skimmed milk, no sugar.



    Just read that back and it doesn't sound great does it! Thats it, I'm cutting the chocolate - no more maltesers.



    Back tomorrow with a much more respectable food diary :-D

    snax, apple and a low fat yogurt.



    2 low fat digestives. (my only pleasure ?!?!)



    I only eat meat at weekends, fish and pulses midweek ! great rule as weekend meals are something to look forward to.













  • Ok.....first entry have only just found it.

  • Breakfast: White coffee, 2 weetabix with banana skimmed milk and canderel

    Lunch: large salad with beans and pulses and can of tuna, dash of balsamic and olive oil



    Mid afternoon apple and oatcake thing



    Dinner: pasta with pesto, or baked potato with baked beans and low fat sausages
  • Suppose I had better 'fess up after the weekend and then I can draw a line and start over.



    Saturday was 30th birthday parties (not mine) and as such consisted of lots of buffet food and white wine.

    Sunday was hangover recovery so I am ashamed to say I had to have a Big Mac to cure it.

    Monday was OK - I had a cooked breakfast, lean bacon, half fat sausage, beans toms, brown toast no butter and an egg fried in olive oil. For tea I had a chicken sag and boiled rice (and a little bit of peshwari nan - sorry)



    So, to today:

    Breakfast - Porridge with raisins

    Lunch - Jacket spud, tuna, salad, coleslaw, live yogurt

    Dinner (will be) - Ostrich Steak, organic fresh veg and potatoes (looking forward to that - never has ostrich before)

    Drinks - hot water and 2 cups of tea



    There are no snacks in the house so not in a position to binge this evening at least.



    Seriously back on the plan now with less than 3 weeks to go til my 1st sprint distance event. Hopefully my entries will show a vast improvement going forward.

    Morning guys,



    Hope it's ok to jump on the thread?



    A month ago I decided to enter my first triathlon (Stratford Sprint Oct 5th) and wanted to lose some weight before the event.



    I decided to take my sisters advice (ex Weight-Watcher) and try having what WW's call "One Point Soup". Basically this is a tin of chopped tomatoes with a hand full of frozen mixed veg thrown in with some curry powder/chilli sauce or whatever for flavour.



    Typical day now includes:

    porridge and berries for breakfast @ 6am

    soup for brunch @ 1030am

    soup for mid afternoon snack @ 3pm

    cous cous with quorn, veg & yoghurt based sauce for dinner @ 630pm



    Trying to minimise pasta, spuds and bread but unlimited apples, bananas and grapes. Only vice still consumed is CoffeeMate instead of milk and protein supplement post training.



    2 weeks in and 10lb weight loss already!



    Friends have said that this is probably fluid loss but I go through 6-8 litres of water/squash each day and hydration always around 55% so can;t be that.



    LONG LIVE TOMATOES!!!!



    BEEF
  • Breakfast - Smoothie (Natural yogurt, skimmed milk, handful strawberries & blackcurrants)

    Snack - Protein shake (post training)

    Lunch - Grilled Chicken breast & 2 Sweet potatoes with sweet chilli sauce.

    Dinner - Cod fillets (smoked) and prawns & sweet potato.



    Drink - 2 cups Green tea, 3.5 litres water.



    Training - 45 min: Spinning

    5 min: Brick run

    30 min: Powerplate training (whole body)



    Good day.
  • Ah well, after a night out having dinner with friends I thought I should get back on track - we'll forget yesterday - although it wasn't all bad, I ordered extra veg!



    So today - early morning very very cold lake swim which led on to



    two pieces toast (homemade bread) with marmalade

    11am two biscuits (it's not looking good is it)

    Lunch - lentil and tomate bake with salad and a peach

    3pm - a bag of maltesers (what's going on? now that I'm writing it all down I've been cr*p today)

    Dinner tonight ??? better make it something healthy.



    am I the only one with eating discipline problems today?

    gee glad everyone else eats so many biscuits n sweets!!



    Okay

    large bowl of raisin bran cereal and pint of milk,

    multiseed bagel and mug a green tea. (after 90min fasted aerobic bike and 20min swim)



    RIver Cafe Minestrone Soup (homemade from bbc website)

    another bagel



    going well eh - problem is tonight - I know mrs stu has got some 72% swiss dark chocolate hidden in the cupboard!!



    I can thoroughly recommend weighlossresources.co.uk as a diet/calorie tracker. costs bout £45per month but I think it pays for itself in all those bars of chocolate and biscuits you don't eat.
