What’s a typical day’s intake for you? I thought it might be interesting to list what we eat in any given day and see how our diets are.
I’ll start with yesterday:
Breakfast - Four weetbix with honey, half a banana and soy milk.
Mid-morning - A long roll with salami, semi-dried tomatoes and brie cheese, no butter.
Lunch - A large chicken ceaser salad.
Mid afternoon - An apple and blueberry muffin (it was one of those Nothing Naughty ones with no extra sugar or fat and stuff. It’s wholemeal and just nummy!)
Dinner- Large fish fillet with rice and miso soup.
I also snacked on some fuit during the day. All in all that’s a pretty light day for me as I usually eat like a horse and burn a lot of calories through training.
Breakfast: Large bagel with cream cheese and a Slimfast shake.
Lunch: Rare roast beef sandwhich on wheat bread.
Dinner: 1 lb steak with bread and butter, or 1 lb pasta with marinara and sausage sauce, or whatever my mother or I feel like making that evening (usually an equivalent amount of food) It’s been mostly chicken noodle soup this week; we made a gigantic pot of it on Monday.
Late evening snack: Fruit or bread, possibly yoghurt. Occasionally pretzels.
I usually have a glass or two of wine with dinner, and sometimes some port in the evening. I drink somewhere between a gallon and a gallon and a half of water over the course of a day, and I take a variety of vitamin supplements (including glucosamine sulfate and oyster shell calcium.)

Wow. That’s a lot of red meat. That’s a common day’s food for you?
ok ok just trolling. I never really paid that much attention to it, to tell the truth.
I did do a year’s worth of culinary arts, so I tend to like a lot of butter, red meat, rich garlicy sauces, crunchy breads, wine, etc.
No ulcers, no great weight, all real food [I almost never microwave things, for example, and my food is FRESH]… cardio probly sucks, but never got a bad report from the docs yet and I’m pushing 40.
breakfast : couple toasts with full fat butter, iced-coffee
snack : usually breakfast bars or chocolate bars whever hungry
lunch : noodles, or sushi
snack : more chocolate
dinner : home cooked meal, usually mostly veges and rice; and more chocolate
I’ll do yesterday’s menu
about 8 am. Breakfast: Shake consisting of 3 raw eggs (fertile), spoonful of honey (raw, unheated), 1/2cup of organic plain yogurt, some rice milk, banana, raw oatmeal, raw wheat germ, raw mill bran. Before i drink this though, i take a spoonful of Cod liver oil (yuk!).
went training for 2 hours.
1130: then ate (while in class) apple, salad with mushrooms, imported goat cheese (so its not pastuerized), tomato, pepper, scallion, spinach leaves, vinegar, tofu, and other stuff i cant remember. Then had a piece of beef, bout the the size of a fist.
Lunch 2:00
raw fish, some buckwheat noodles and 2 kiwis and some almonds or some other nuts
went more training
i usually eat dinner between 530-730 depending on how long i study or exercise.
Dinner is usually a lot consisting of fish mostly with a fruit and veggies and some chinese dumplings!
about 1 hour after i eat dinner, i usually go to my weakness: chocolate and wine!
so about 9:00ish, i’m relaxing with that good stuff. and in bed by 10-11

Well, I don’t eat steak every day; that’s just an example dinner. I vary up my evening meal a lot, with variously prepared chicken, homemade pizza from scratch, etc. Steak and pasta just happen to be dinners that my average week will almost always include.
Plus, I like steak.
Breakfast and lunch are pretty standard, though. I take some kind of fruit for lunch (in addition to my sandwich) sometimes, and sometimes I don’t.
Breakfast: coffee, cottage cheese w/fruit or cold cereal
snack: piece of cheese, or little piece of chicken, sometimes fruit
lunch: a cup of chicken salad w/light mayo, grapes, apples, nuts & celery with cracked black pepper, Iced tea or carrot/orange juice.
aft. snack: handful of d trail mix from the hippie health food store, or a nutrition bar
dinner: usually chicken or pork, sometimes beef, we’ve had venison a couple times lately. stir fry or grilled (mmmmm deerburgers)with veggies and/or salad. If it’s late, frozen pizza or pan-fried chinese vegetable dumplings.
before bed: sometimes frozen yogurt, almost always a big glass of 1%milk
I drink about a gallon of water a day, on on days when I’m training/working out (M T W TH and Sat - ideally, but not lately) I drink more and will have higher protein snacks.
I also drink generally a glass of wine with dinner (red) or sometimes a mixed drink.
