Candy-filled meals

My "proper" dinner yesterday was a serving of couscous and a small
serving of a vegetarian eggplant dish, plus an eggroll with spread and
cheese, plus (wait for it) HUGE AMOUNTS OF HORRIBLE CANDY CAKE (I
don't know, maybe 5-6 pieces). Yuck yuck yuck.

Today's breakfast was a small bowl of Flax Plus
too-good-to-actually-be-healthy cereal with 1% milk, a cafe au lait
and 3 SQUARES OF HORRIBLE CANDY CAKE. I'm hoping by the time I come
home from work today it will have disappeared.

Pseudo-Dinner

A bottle of orange juice (120 kcal) and an Oatmeal-to-Go bar (200 kcal).

Mind the gap

A little explanation of the 10-day gap: New York trip, ate lots of
great food, gained maybe 2 kilos, then felt like I couldn't make
entries in the food diary until I caught up writing about the trip.
Forget that, wiping the slate clean now and starting from this
morning.

TODAY
Breakfast: 2 squares of some horribly decadent
almond/chocolate/toffee/cookie cake thing, and a bowl of Flax Plus
yummystuff with 1% milk.
Morning snack: Coffee/2%/10%
Lunch: A fairly large portion of chicken pad thai.
Afternoon snack: Coffee/2%/10% and a sweet'n'salty bar.

Breakfast and Lunch

Breakfast: A bowl of Optimum Zen and a cafe au lait with 1% milk, and
two tiny little maple arrowroot cookies.
Morning snack: A cafe au lait with 1% milk.
Lunch: Chicken, roasted tomato, roasted red onions, basil and goat
cheese pizza, with salad. This was a medium-sized lunch; I put a tiny
bit of balsamic vinaigrette dressing (maybe half a teaspoonful) on the
salad.

Call me Mr. Chocoholic

Afternoon snack: Kit Kat Chunky.
Dinner: Thai beef salad with mango, red peppers, mint and coriander. Yummy.
Evening snack: Two Swiss chocolates.

It's all uphill from here

and about 8 pieces of chocolate.

Today
Breakfast: An egg roll with spread and cheese, and half a slice of
bread with peanut butter.
Morning snack: Café au lait and a "peanut butter square" which is
basically 50/50 peanut butter and chocolate. Yuck/Yummy.
Lunch: Dragon Monster burger (proscuitto, mushroom, peppers, cheese,
onion hamburger). Not too unhealthy really, for a burger. This was
followed by a shot of espresso and 10g of dark chocolate.

Bless me father, for I have sinned...

Yesterday
Afternoon snack: A Mr. Big chocolate bar (310 kcal). Yowsa!

Morning snack: Coffee/2%/10%
Lunch: Smoked salmon salad with cucumbers, dill and tomatoes served
with citrus creme fraiche. Had about half of the creme fraiche. For
dessert I had a banana. All in all a small-to-medium sized lunch and
quite healthy.

Breakstress and lunch

I was ever-so-slightly stressed at breakfast (our roof is leaking) and
unfortunately I turned to my favorite stress buddy, condensed empty
calories. I had a whole-wheat egg roll with peanut butter and
strawberry jam, a ball of ice cream (yes I know) and two Swiss
chocolates (yes I know - it's not even lunch yet).

Lunch was a lot better: A medium-sized serving of gumbo with
whole-grain rice, and a banana.

Afternoon snack and Dinner

Afternoon snack: Sweet'n'salty bar; I'm getting ever so slightly
tired of these.

Dinner: A Shish Taouk plate with hummus, sans garlic sauce, sans pita.

By golly, I think I deserve a point. Total points: 4.

An easy-going weekend

FRIDAY

Lunch: Chicken, avocado and cheddar sandwich served with green salad.
Fairly small serving.

Afternoon snack: Sweet'n'salty bar.

Dinner: My wife and I shared a charcuterie platter, and I had a small portion of chili nachos. I had two pints of lager with dinner.

Evening: Quite a lot of candy - a couple of handfuls of Djúpur and
several handfuls of Nóa Kropp.

SATURDAY

Breakfast: A bowl of Optimum Zen, IIRC.

Lunch: A couple of whole-wheat baguette sandwiches with ham, cheese,
tomatoes, mustard and low-fat mayonnaise, plus small servings of (a
healthy) potato salad and a Greek salad. Also a small square of two
different dessert cakes.

Dinner: We were invited for a barbecue, where I had a lot of food and
several cocktails, wine etc.

Evening: A couple of handfuls of Nóa Kropp.

SUNDAY

Breakfast: A bowl of Optimum Zen and a cafe au lait, both with 1%
milk. Also a couple of bites of my son's bread with peanut butter.

Lunch: Same as Saturday's, except just one baguette sandwich, and
with an additional half a whole-wheat Kaiser roll with peanut butter
and banana.

Dinner: About 2/3rds of a medium thin and crispy pepperoni pizza from
Domino's, and half a bottle of red wine.

Obviously, no points for the weekend. Total points so far: 3.

TODAY

Breakfast: A bowl of Optimum Zen and a cafe au lait with 1% milk,
plus maybe half a slice of bread with peanut butter.

Lunch: Half a portion of a chicken salad sandwich, along with a
calabrese tuna salad with olives, hot peppers, capers, red peppers and
greens. I used about two teaspoonfuls of dressing. All in all this
was about a medium-sized meal.

Fairly Good: The revenge of the Nachos

Yesterday:
Dinner: Salmon with chermoula sauce (same as Tuesday's); pretty healthy.
Nachos: Once I got home I was quite hungry and had a small serving of
my wife's delicious Nachos, as well as two spoonfuls of the apricot
strudel thing, so no point for yesterday. Total points: 3.

Today:
Breakfast: A bowl of Nature's Path multi-grain corn flakes and a cafe
au lait, both with 1% milk.
Morning snack: Coffee/2%/10%.

Call me Mr. Sneaky

Sneaky part: Before dinner yesterday I had two handfuls of Nóa Kropp
that just accidentally fell into my hand at which point I had a reflex
that just sort of threw the candy into my mouth. Not.

Yesterday's dinner was a hefty portion of my wife's amazing chili
nachos, and a beer and a half. No point for yesterday... Total
points: 3.

And now for today:

Breakfast: An egg roll with spread and cheese, plus half a bowl of
Nature's Path multi-grain corn flakes with 1% milk.

Lunch: Greek salad with a pork brochette - a fairly small portion.

Afternoon snack: Sweet'n'salty bar and a Diet Pepsi.

I did a bad bad thing...

Yesterday's dinner: A somewhat large serving of my wife's chicken
curry and rice, from the other day, with a slice of buttered bread.

Before dinner, though, was the bad bad thing: I had several Freyju
Bombur huge big chocolate things, and some Nóa Kropp. So after dinner
the only sensible thing to do was to have even more candy, ended up
having quite a lot. No star for yesterday, that's for sure.

Breakfast (today): A bowl of Heritage O's.

Lunch: Roast leg of lamb with babaganoush and dried fruit couscous.
This was a medium-sized portion.

Afternoon snack: A sweet'n'salty bar.
