What's your typical daily diet? What do you eat?

[stui magpie]

Just curious, we've had a few food threads and I read an article about how much people spend on food and coffee at work.

I generally have 3 meals per day during the week while working, 2 on weekends.

Weekdays i take food to work. I can't eat in the morning so I eat breakfast around 9:30-10am. I'll make up some bircher muesli with yoghurt and take for days i'm able to eat, and on days with meetings take an apple, a protein bar or eat some peanut butter with corn chips or vegemite on dry biscuits (I have a bottom drawer pantry in my office)

Weekday lunch is last nights leftovers. Meat and veg, meat and salad

Dinner varies but is usually meat and veg, meat and salad, pasta (sometimes) or junk on a friday night

Saturday breakfast is usually at Greensie plaza and depends what i feel like around 10:30am. Could be breakfast at a cafe, maccas, KFC, tacos, whatever I feel like. that lasts me til dinner.

Similar Sunday, I'll either get something at a market or a Bunnings snag for breakfast. (Thommo market does great 70's style ham and salad rolls)

I don't eat between meals but I'll drink between 2-3 litres of water a day at work. I don't buy coffee, I have one in the morning and a coke zero with lunch for the caffeine. Weekends, beer o'clock comes around 2-3pm

So what's your daily routine eating?

Week Days at work will go:
Monday to Thursday;
Vegemite on Toast (wholemeal);
Vegemite and Avocado on Toast (wholemeal);
Poached Egg on Toast (wholemeal); and
a cup of tea.
Friday 1 1/2 slices of Bacon and a Poached Egg on toast (wholemeal). Can do this as we have a full kitchen at work. Mind you fellow workers get annoyed as it makes them hungry.
Walk for a coffee which is 1km each way for morning tea.

Lunch will consist of mainly, Salada with Tasty Cheese and Avocado with cracked pepper. If I feel like having a fat day it will be dim sims.

Dinner if I am cooking for two nights (the Mrs and I take turns) I will go a Thai Yellow chicken Curry with noodles or Rice. This will do 4 bowls and 2 in the fridge for the following night. After 24 hours it's even better. If the Mrs is cooking it could be a pasta for two nights. Or this week with the warmer weather I made a Greek Salad and we had some rissoles and some cold meat. All comes down to weather, could even be a BBQ.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday could be anything from Cheese and Dip to we head out for dinner.
Mon - Wed no Alcohol.
Thursday - A glass of wine with dinner.
Friday, Saturday & Sunday - Beers, Bourbon, Red or white. Depends on the mood.
Water I try to consume 3 litres a day.
Snacks - Potato Chips.

Jeez Culprit, posting about food at 4:34am !! Did it make you hungry? Hope you had some chips in the cupboard.

I'm (unfortunately) a big eater. 3 meals a day, every day. Plus snacks.

Breakfast is usually a couple of weetbix followed by a couple of slices of toast. Once or twice a week I'll make myself an egg omelette instead. And at least one coffee with breakfast.

I'll have something before lunch - fruit or nuts, occasionally a coffee scroll (or similar) with another coffee.
Lunch is usually a salad roll (occasionally a pie) and another coffee.
More snacks later in the afternoon - fruit, nuts and\or cheese and biscuits.

Dinner varies but is always a big meal. Curries, Pasta, Roasts, BBQ in summer, casseroles in winter. Take-away about once a week.

I'm always impressed by people, like Stui, who can bring in leftovers to work for lunch the next day. In our house whatever gets cooked for dinner gets eaten that night. I've tried cooking extra to save for the next day but we just end up eating the lot. (insert piggy emoticon).

Given the amout I eat, I should probably be overweight but I'm not. High metabolic rate, I guess, thanks to genetics.

Have 2 different weeks.
At work breakfast is at 4.30, usually grab a snaga out of the baine marie and have a cuppa tea.
Pack one of the many choices of salad and some cold meat. Apples, oranges and seasonal fruit.
Dinner is a tin of tuna and a bit if salad.

At home on my week off I light the barby every day and cook whatever I've got a taste for at the time, i have the best butcher 150 meters down the road. I usually eat more at home and drink more beer too.

We've got some pretty healthy eaters on here by the look of it.

Where did We've get some healthy eaters on here by the look of it?

[KenH]

A bowl of cereal in the morning with a cup of tea.

Morning tea is a nutri grain bar or about 3 biscuits. Cup of tea.

Lunch is either 2 meat sangers or rolls (no salad or anything else just meat) Usually roast chicken, pork or lamb. Cup of tea.

Tea is normally a type of meat of some description, roast potatoes and peas. Cup of tea.

Supper is normally a cup of tea and 2 scotch finger or butternut snap biscuits!

That for me is my average day, most people would be pretty bored with that but I am happy with it!

Meat, mashed spuds and peas is my go to comfort meal. (with gravy)

[Mugwump]

^ my perfect comfort food is pork chops, ultra-slow-cooked with garlic, mashed potato, then any kind of vegetables.

We have a Boxing day tradition of kedgeree for breakfast in our house - that is a hell of an underrated dish, especially when you have been overdoing it a little the night before.

During the week, at least two nights, I have chopped fried stem broccoli, with garlic and chilli, and a slice of bread and butter. Bit of salt and pepper, and it's the best-tasting health food I know. At least two AFDs (alcohol-free days) a week, and preferably four if I can.

At work, the staff canteen serves excellent sausages at breakfast, and I have to work hard to keep the sausage or bacon rolls down to two a week. The thing that you do notice is that when you eat that stuff for breakfast you are not hungry for hours.

Often I just graze - cranberries and nuts are the staple. I avoid sugar as far as possible, though alcohol - usually in the form of evening cocktails - gets past my guard.

At work we eat in restaurants a fair bit. I have come to hate restaurant food - over-salted, over-buttered, over-sweetened. It's literally a killer if you do it a lot.

I had to google kedgeree . Anything with smoked fish - yuck. I'd rather lick satan's testicles.
