It's a regular article in our newpaper suppplement. They take someone well-know (whom I've never hear of), and ask them what they ate yesterday. How dull is that? These people are Important and Busy, so they "snatch" a bit of sushi or a smoothie (why do I hate that word?), eat lots of vegetables and salad, and dine somewhere posh in the evening. Between whiles, they dash about going to meetings and/or being filmed.
So I shall bore you with what I ate yesterday (not, as it happens, a good day to choose, but no matter).
Breakfast: Fruit and Fibre. I bought this by mistake, and it's horrible (sorry, Kellogs). But my expectations of breakfast are mercifully low.
Lunch: a cheese and tomato roll. And an orange (I eat a lot of oranges).
Dinner: a ready meal. I am not proud of this, and do it rarely. He had a huge curry. I had a small shepherd's pie. Normally, I make stuff, but was having my toenails painted blue (long story) so didn't have time to cook. Another orange.
Later on: an apple. And chocolate. Oh, and wine.
At this stage in the article, a dietician comments. I have no dietitian, and want no criticial assessment of my eating habits. I know what I'm doing wrong, and am too old to care.
Now. What did you eat yesterday? (No cheating, please. I am not a dietician, so you have nothing to fear.)

A croissant. An orange. 2 slices of toast and marmite. Quite a lot of orange juice. SOme veg stew and plain yogurt with nuts and honey.
ReplyDeleteJenny the fact that you included Marmite puts you right up my list of Good Eaters.
DeleteI agree, GB. Marmite is wonderful (and something that aparently ex-pats crave). The rest sounds admirable, Jenny!
DeleteHow come you eat so many oranges? In Germany, they would be hard to find right now, it not being the season, and the ones you would find, would be strawy and very expensive.
ReplyDeleteMy fruit of choice at the moment is peach - I ate four of them yesterday :-) along with my usual muesli (for breakfast), bread with butter and cheese for both lunch and dinner, a banana (simply the best to keep me going when I have one about 1 hour before going for a run) and - of course - chocolate. No wine, but a big mug of coffee in the morning and a smaller one in the afternoon, as well as copious amounts of water all through the day.
Those "famous" people and their eating habits - I do wonder if anyone does know them, and is actually interested in knowing what they ate yesterday (or, much more likely, made up for the column).
Oranges are plentiful here all the year round, Meike, but much nicer in the winter.
DeleteA slice of toast, cup of tea, three coffees, salad sandwich, glass of Tizer, vegetable fingers, mixed veg and new potatoes, cranberry & raspberry juice - and a banana! There may have been a chocolate digestive or two too! There would have been plums, but they're not ripe enough to eat yet :-) x
ReplyDeleteTeresa, what on earth is a vegetable finger? The rest sounds terribly healthy. (Avoid raw plums.)
DeleteThey're like fish fingers only with vegetables! Why avoid raw plums - I eat lots of them? Now I'm worried!
DeleteOnly kidding.
DeleteHomemade gooseberry, pear & banana smoothie (always experimenting with new flavours - nectarine and gooseberry v. good too), fruit loaf toast. Tea. Salad Nicoise (ooh la la). Fizzy... sorry 'sparkling' water. Cauliflower cheese with green veg, half a bottle of Pinot Grigio and Too Much Cheese.
ReplyDeleteHow can you have too much cheese?
DeleteSourdough bread toast with lots of butter, peanut butter and chocolate ice cream, BLT's with my own tomatoes, leftover spaghetti, and more ice cream. The dietician can shove that where the sun don't shine. I know what I'm doing wrong and I don't care!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, you are doing everything right; you are enjoying your food, and that's what matters.
Delete(I love the idea of shoving peanut butter ice cream up...oh, never mind. Sounds like 50 Shades...)
Oh dear - 1 weetabix, 1 slice wholemeal toast with honey, 2 white rolls with ham, tomato and cucumber, a banana, a choc caramel bar, turkey curry with rice (home cooked by hubby), low fat peach yoghurt, 2 mini battenburgs and 2 squares of dark chocolate. Tea first thing, coffees throughout the day. Sounds even worse now I've written it down. Better day tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful written down, Maggie!
DeleteWhat did I eat yesterday? Hm... coffee for breakfast and a yogurt. Lunch was a corn tortilla with a slice of ham and some lettuce in it, also some potato chips. 2 carrot muffins I made for a snack & a slice of watermelon. Dinner was pasta with ricotta and turkey sausage in it with a salad. Mr. Sonia made it as I don't enjoy cooking. Then a handful of chocolate skippers. Drinks were water and diluted lemonade... ; }
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a Mr.Sonia. Where did you find him?
DeleteCoffee (three cups to start my day with NYT Crossword).
ReplyDeleteBreakfast: Kellogs Product 19 with sliced fresh strawberries and honeydew melon cubes.
Lunch: 1/2 Cheese, tomato, lettuce sandwich with glass of white wine and a macadamia nut cookie for desert.
Blessed cocktail hour: Gin and tonic with lime.
Dinner: 1/2 peanut butter sandwich with glass of milk! Too hot here to cook! 108 degrees.
Too hot to cook sounds great, Jill. I'm wondering whether it's to hot to cook here today...
DeleteNot enough room in the comment box.
ReplyDeleteThe comment box is expandable, Fran, as you well know. What have you got to hide?
DeletePorridge , 2 apples , 2 ham sandwiches with rye bread , a Mineola , a handful of almonds , chicken with potatoes and a pea ( don't like them , Husband does ) , tomato salad , yoghurt and a banana . Tea and lots of coffee .
ReplyDeleteI know , I eat all day !
On the contrary, it all sounds horribly healthy!
DeleteSmoked haddock and home-made bread for breakfast. Home-made mushroom soup and salad for lunch. Asparagus wrapped in ham with cheese sauce for dinner. Two glasses of port with Époisses de Bourgogne, several blue cheeses and some Boursin for supper. I like food and I weighed the same this morning as yesterday morning.
ReplyDeleteI think you're showing off, GB.
