Managed to miss my lunch! Oops. And then came down with a bad cold. Atchoo!
12.30pm cup of coffee with cow milk and one sugar. bowl of Covent Garden pepper and pear soup with added spinach, broccoli and 3pieces of ryvita and aubergine spread (just discovered this stuff in health good shop - it's delicious!)
2.30pm a banana
3.30pm handful of mixed nuts

7pm dinner at a friend's: Tomato, mozzarella cheese and salami for starters. Sea bass, mushroom risotto with white rice and green beans for main Cheese board for afters: 4 cream crackers with blue cheese, Brie, Wensleydale, cheddar. 3-4 glasses White wine Cup of coffee with cow milk
10pm 2 pints of water before bed!!
Yep, a total blow-out at dinner but I'm not bothered by it, I'd be far more bothered by turning into a fussy and difficult dinner guest. This was Carl and I's first Cardiff dinner invitation by a lovely friend and the invitation, food and conversation were all great. I was loathe to mar that by trying to dictate the menu. I think it must be manners before diet when someone is going to the very kind effort of cooking for me! Mind you I blatantly attacked the cheeseboard with far more gusto than was called for... ;)
9am bowl of granola with oat milk.
10.30am cup of coffee with cow milk and one sugar.
2pm bowl of Covent Garden pepper and pear soup with added spinach, 3 pieces of ryvita and houmous.
6pm an apple
8.30pm veggie chilli with brown rice and bits of roast chicken in it (so, not veggie chilli at all really).
10pm bowl of strawberries with organic natural yoghurt and sprinkling of brown sugar.
Again not doing great with eating every 3 hours thing. Also think the fried foods and alcohol on sunday took their toll - felt quite moody, stressed and tired today.
9am bowl of granola with oat milk, cup of coffee with oat milk and one sugar, cup of hot water with lemon
11am a banana
1.30pm salad with tuna steak and a fried egg, bag of salted peanuts. Pint of beer. (eating out)

Seemed to crave crisps and crap! Ah well.
9am bowl of granola with oat milk and blackberries
10am 2 pieces of ryvita with spread and bacon
12pm camomile tea - have acquired a taste for this.
1.30pm lunch in Eddie's American Diner at Cardiff Bay - nothing there I could eat apart from salad. Sneaky trip to tesco meant I could add some ready-to-eat roast chicken breast to it and have a substantial meal whilst everyone else tucked into burgers and fries.
A nice walk around Cardiff Bay!
4pm a banana and packet of apple slices. 2 pints of beer.
7pm veggie chilli (mushroom, courgette, red onion, pepper, garlic, tomatoes, kidney beans) with brown rice and guacamole.

4pm lots of White grapes.
5.30pm a very nice walk in the park!
8.30pm - spag Bol - sauce with minced beef, tinned tomatoes, courgette, red onion, garlic, leek, mushrooms, carrots, red & green pepper, red wine and sauce. Brown pasta. I was told I'm allowed red meat once a week. It was well nice!
4 large glasses of red wine - have friends visiting.
I cracked and ate one of Carl's pancakes on Shrove Tuesday and some of my friend's pork scratchings in the pub. I love pork scratchings - such a 'so wrong yet feels so right' sort of food!
I'm not doing so good on the 'eat every 3 hours thing' or including protein, like nuts when I snack - seem to gave a preference for fruit.
Tyrrells root veg crisps - I do miss crisps but unsure these are the answer. Yes they're root veg not potato but they're still fried in oil. A question for the nutritionist methinks. Anyway I had a packet on the train the other day.
Caffeine is my crack - only down to two coffees a day so far.
I miss bread lots!
Anyways, doing the food diary again from yesterday as seeing nutritionist again 11th march.
