There was an article I read recently over at Posh n Becks which suggested it might be interesting for foodbloggers (such as myself) to record everything they ate for a week, and then blog about it.
It seemed like an interesting concept, until I started it. Is my diet really so poor? I can see my New Year’s resolution coming already…
Sunday
Oats topped with jam for breakfast (nice and hot for those cold Winter mornings), with a cup of Earl Grey tea. Busy day, no time for lunch - but honey and mustard glazed roast pork in the early evening (with all the trimmings). A couple of cheap and nasty coffees at motorway service stations, too.
Monday
In the spirit of unoriginality, oats again for breakfast, with a cup of Earl Grey - this time with a slice of lemon. Lunch is a few slices of chili coated salami, toast, and a couple of kabanos. Evening Meal - Chinese takeaway. I had Chicken Foo-Yung, and my wife had Beef With Tomatoes (better then it sounds). Enjoyed with a bottle of Desperados Beer (which is great).
Tuesday
Breakfast today was the duplicate of lunch yesterday - some toast, sliced meat, and some smoked sausage. Skipped lunch; Salmon topped with a little mayonnaise, served with a mixed leaf and orange salad in the evening. Enjoyed a bottle of indistinct white wine with this one.
Wednesday
Some rather natty pancakes for breakfast, with Nutella and Banana rolled up inside, drank with Orange Juice (with bits in - of course!). Lunch was skipped in favor of a winter vegetable soup - a lot of organic root veg boiled up in some strong chicken stock and pureed with a touch of double cream.
Thursday
Great simple breakfast today - toast topped with a chopped up banana, which was then smashed up with the back of a fork - delicious. Garlic baguette for lunch - not ideal, but forced upon me due to work. Evening meal was a simple jacket potato with beans and cheese. Some very local Lincoln & York Coffee drank with this.
Friday
Skipped breakfast again - that’s what work does for you. In the evening we rustled up a very unauthentic Chicken Curry, served with a home made Naan (which I blogged about a couple of days later). Of course I played to the stereotype and had a couple of beers (Polish “Lech”) with the curry.
Saturday
Finally a day off work, and a nicely spread out assortment of meats and sausage for breakfast. For lunch a simple slice of coffee cake with a Latte at the local cafe. Off to my parent’s in the evening, where my Dad rustled up a cabbage and sausage soup (again, better then it sounds).

I dunno - this doesn’t sound unhealthy to me.
Porridge is really good for you, (I had some for my breakfast today),
and everything esle sounds wholesome.
Thanks for taking part!

Interesting idea. I already keep a sporadic record of what I eat, but posting it on the internet? I bet that’s a great way to kick start a healthy eating week, lol.

Interesting. Maybe I will give this a shot. I think that you eat WAY healthier than I do

It seems i’m not the only one that skips breakfast and lunch at times…
Sounds like a healthier diet than mine. I rarely have breakfast [weekends mostly] and i only have lunch as and when i remember to eat. But like you, i make up for it at dinner time which i was told once is pretty bad. I don’t know if it’s true though.

looks like i’m the real one who skip a lot of my breakfast! perhaps my coming new year’s resolution should be eating breakfast…
