Hello dear people, nice to see you here in my little corner! Please help yourself to a cup of tea and a soft blanket. Sadly there'll be no cookies for now because I'm incapable of just eating one cookie instead of the whole bag.
Basically, this is the reason for this diary. Instead of having regular and nutritious meals I tend to munch on chocolate, cookies and other stuff high in carbs and calories and low in nutritional value.
To give you an idea: there's these chocolate things that I really like and last week I ate almost 4000 calories worth of these in less than two days. This happens quire regularly and not only have I steadily been gaining weight over the last few years, I am also very aware that my body would much prefer I put some proper nutrients into it.
I started tracking my food intake three days ago and I've really tried incorporating more fresh and unprocessed food into my diet and cutting down on the sweets and carbs. So far I've been semi successful. On Friday I ate the sweets than I had actually intended to give to someone else and on Saturday I made pasta in the evening. All in all i can still see improvements though and I want to be honest here and share the good as well as the not so good days.
So here's what the last three days looked like:
Friday 21 June
breakfast: 1 plum, 150 ml mango smoothie
"lunch": 150 g tortellini, 4 peanut butter cups
"dinner": 1 smoked trout filet, 100 ml mango smoothie, 1 chia coconut bar
nightly snack: 4 peanut butter cups
calories: 1600
Saturday 22 June
breakfast: coffee with oat milk and sweetener, 50 g berries
lunch: broccoli, spinach, carrots, peppers, beans and buckwheat
snack: 10 walnuts
dinner: 200 g edamame
snacks: coffee with oat milk and sweetener, 200 g rice pudding
2nd dinner: 300 g tortellini
calories: 1970
Sunday 23 June
breakfast: cocoa and nut porridge with berries and walnuts
lunch: vegetable ravioli
snack: coffee with oat milk and sweetener
dinner: half a cucumber, 150 g tomatoes, balsamic creme
snack: 4 walnuts
calories: 1380
While this is already an improvement you can still see what my main problems are: no regular meals, no motivation to prepare food and therefore falling back into just eating pasta or sweets, too many carbs and not enough vegetables, fiber and protein.
I'm going to make my porridge now (it seems like a sensible if late breakfast) and then I'm off to work. Let's see how today goes!
