eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day

About 2 portions of veg, maybe a little more and 4 of fruit.

I’ve been fairly good on and off but I haven’t been mindful of this goal, or of what I’m eating in general since I got back home from Germany.

Today I reckon I got my 5 portions of fruit and veg – I got better as the day went on culminating in a scrummy veg curry.

I also managed to get my portions of crisps, cake and chocolate. :-)

Ok, I really wasn’t perfect today but I did get my 5 portions in, probably more. I felt really hungry and had hankerings for chocolate!

Breakfast: Raw porridge with milk, banana
Lunch: Loads of cheese sandwiches made with wholemeal bread and an apple
Dinner: Huge salad with mozzarella, spinach, pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions and homemade olive oil dressing. Scrummy.
Snacks: Far more crisps and chocolate than I’d care to mention! Strawberries, popcorn

I ate quite well today but the day ain’t over yet!

Breakfast: 1 kiwi, cherries, mini wholemeal pittas and hummus
Lunch: wholemeal toast with butter, boiled egg, apple
Dinner: Salad with spinach, pepper, tomato, cucumber, red onion, leftover boiled potatoes, feta, olive oil dressing
Snacks: yogurt, nuts

Edit: somehow a bit of choccie and crisps sneaked their way into my tummy. No idea how they got there :-)

Not bad!

Breakfast: Raw porridge with milk, cherries
Lunch: Wholemeal mini pittas with hummus and carrot sticks
Dinner: Pasta with tuna and sauce, loads of mixed salad
Snacks: Nuts, few squares dark choc, strawberries

I did well on the fruit and veggies today.

Breakfast: boiled egg, mini wholemeal pitta, apple, kiwi
Lunch: mini wholemeal pitta, hummus, carrot sticks
Dinner: Trout, boiled potatoes, salad with spinach, pepper, radish, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions and homemade dressing.
Snacks: strawberries, crisps and chocolate. Ok, so I’m not perfect :-)

Breakfast: 2 kiwi fruit (wasn’t hungry)
Lunch: Mozzarella, pesto and tomato pizza
Dinner: Greek salad
Snacks: bit of dark choc, cherries, raisins, nuts

Yesterday wasn’t terrible but I can do better.

So here’s my eating plan for the day:

• Breakfast: Porridge, milk, 1 kiwi (done)

• Lunch: Sardines on toast. Apple
• Dinner: Some kind of salad or maybe pasta with homemade sauce w lots of veg. TBC
• Snacks: Raisins and nuts. More fruit if peckish

Here’s the plan:

Breakfast: Porridge with milk and 2 kiwi fruit – done. Yummy.
Lunch: Salad with loads of tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and some kind of cheese. Maybe feta or mozzarella. And a bit of nice extra virgin olive oil.
Dinner: Not sure. Maybe fish, potatoes and loads of spinach.
Snacks: Raisins and nuts.

Edit:

Had the salad for dinner in the end and it was lovely. I didn’t eat lunch – big mistake. Ended up eating midget gems which sadly do not count towards my 5 a day! And some peanut butter on Ryvita. Scrummy but should have stuck to the plan!

but I’m going to get back on track. I’ve started my day with a banana and kiwi fruit and maybe I’ll have a nice salad later.

Edit:

Didn’t have the salad but made a really nice pasta thing with spaghetti, loads of spinach, pine nuts, garlic, chilli and pesto. Really nice and a good 2 servings of spinach in it. And to think I was tempted to get a takeaway out of laziness. This was much nicer and took less than 10 mins from start to finish.

I also had a couple of portions of raisins earlier with some nuts.

And I’ll probably have an apple, kiwi or grapes later so that’s a lot better than I have been doing.
