Food glorious food.

I'm eating between five and seven meals a day at the moment. It should be seven but I miss some of the snacks when work gets busy! I'm also allowed to be a bit more relaxed at the weekend with 2 'naughty' meals like a take out.

My morning routine depends on exercise plans that morning. If it is a run or swim I have banana and I take oatcakes out with me to get used to eating on the hoof. Nairns do these great ones with fruit and spices in. Yum. If I'm out on my bike I have a banana and a bowl of porridge and take the oatcakes out with me to keep something in my tummy. It doesn't matter whether I need to eat nutritionally, if has been a couple of hours since eating, my stomach starts to complain. ;-)

When I get to work I have a mixing bowl of porridge. My colleagues laughed at me to begin with but they have got used to me now!

My mid-morning snack is something simple like an apple, satsuma or plums.

Lunch is also carb based with pasta, rice or a jacket potato. This is great cause there is a cafe round the corner that does great pasta. It is also fairly easy to bring stuff from home. (Having said that, I can count on one hand the amount of times I have taken my lunch in!)

Afternoon snack is yogurt. I buy the big pots of bio yogurt and keep it in the fridge at work. I eat as much as I feel like!

Dinner is an important meal for reloading the protein for rebuilding the muscles over night and lots of yummy vegetables. I try to have no carbs with this meal so I don't store it as fat over night.

My final snack of the day is a bowl of muesli before bed, but only if I have a run or swim in the morning.

I have absolutely no idea how many calories I'm eating or fat, protein and carbs, but I do know that I am slowly loosing weight and trimming up. What is more I feel great!
