This week I decided to put times next to my meals, to illustrate how they're spaced throughout the day.
Tuesday
Breakfast Part 1 - 6:15am/8:15am
A Nature Valley bar - half eaten before my 7-8am Crossfit workout, and half eaten straight afterwards.
Breakfast Part 2 - 9am
When I got to work I was starving and tucked into a Graze breakfast box porridge - apple and cinnamon w/semi skimmed milk.
Snack - 11am
Cup of tea
Lunch - 12pm
I have been getting bored of sandwiches and salads so packed lots of different things for a snack plate- crackers, carrot sticks, cucumber, apple, with houmous and Saint Agur blue cheese. This worked really well, although I had to stop myself eating all the cheese! Yum!
I didn't eat everything on this plate- I found that having lots of different things to nibble on made me think about what I was eating more, and stop when I was actually full!
Snack - 4pm
Another cup of tea and a Yu-bar. This was a freebie in the goody bag from the Fitness Freak rave - I was a fan of the yoghurt coating although it was a bit sweet.
Dinner -6:30pm
I used up lots of leftovers in the fridge by making a random pasta bake. I stir fried some courgettes, a green pepper and 4 bacon rashers, then added to some cooked pasta with a generous tablespoon of pesto. I tipped it all into a dish, topped with leftover mozzarella and grated cheddar and grilled until the cheese melted and it went bubbly and crispy!
Snack - 8pm
Cup of tea and 2 biscuits (sorry forgot to take a pic as I was upstairs blogging!)
