Ok partly to get rid of the baked beans on weetabix post but mainly because I’ve finally started a healthy eating binge now that we might be “seen” outside in more skimpy clothes and have to shed the trackies and sweatpants.
So the question is what did you eat today that was healthy? List anything that you have had today that qualifies as healthy food and if anyone wants to join me in increasing the proportion of healthy to non healthy each day then you are most welcome.
Today for healthy food I had a banana for breakfast, then avocado, wild rocket, baby plum tomato, tuna, iceberg, coriander and green pepper salad with chili oil and lime juice dressing. I also had a nectarine and kiwi dessert (we are not going to discuss the 2 creme eggs, jaffa cakes and twirl bar).
I had Oatabix for breakfast (with milk and sugar, so perhaps not that healthy), a banana & yoghurt for lunch, and…some toast & sardines for tea. Had a big dinner yesterday, so trying to balance it up.

Hi Annie
I am an almost vegetarian ,I do eat meat occasionally.
The 5-2 (diet) was devised by Dr Michael Mosley but it is a lifestyle not a diet for me.
For 5 I days I eat what is normal for me (approx 1500 calories from healthy food I don’t count every calorie ) then I eat less for 2 days.
It was originally supposed to be 800 calories for 2 days but I have about 1000 and the 2 days don’t need to be together.
I don’t really get cravings these days. I have been following this regime for almost 4 years . When I did I would eat some celery, a little carrot or tomato or a few almonds.
Eating healthily is no hardship for me, if I can’t for some reason I crave my way of eating .
‘Yummy stuff’ for me is dried apricots and nuts. When I make cakes for the family I will have a little one but can live without it.
Shed the trackies & sweat pants?
Whatttt?:shock:
I wear leggings. :-p
What did I eat that was healthy.
A big salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms, celery, spinach, red pepper, hot pepper, green olives and pickled beets sprinkled with a handful of trail mix.
Lunch - A veggie sushi roll with carrots, cucumber, avocado, asparagus, brown rice, and nori, loads of pickled ginger, wasabi, and low sodium soy sauce.
Snack - Homemade kale chips, oven baked with first cold pressed olive oil and a little salt.
Dinner - Fire roasted poblano pepper stuffed with quinoa, garlic, carmelized onions, oyster mushrooms, roasted grape tomatoes, spices, and an asiago cheese crust. Side salad of dried cranberries, walnuts, pineapple, apple and lime. 21 grain dinner roll with avocado.
Reading all your healthy eating foods has made me realise how unhealthily I eat especially in lockdown…I seem to have drifted into an …oh what the heck attitude. Ok I can do this… today is the first day of the rest of my life…no more pies
Traditional full Irish is bacon, egg, sausage, white pudding, black pudding, saute potatoes, tomato, field mushrooms - all fried and served with Soda bread (fresh or toasted) and butter.
Modern (American) version sometimes includes baked beans and hash browns.
