mostly food
Hunger. It greeted the man at dawn, and laid down with him at dusk. Sometimes, its gnawing woke him up at night. There's only the hunger, the dead, and a terrible solution.
But for real, microwaved potatoes with whatever my CSA hooks me up with. I'm vegetarian for economic reasons, most of the time anyway.
Breakfast Cafe con leche, sometimes with toast or oatmeal but always the coffee. Not right away, usually 3 hours after I get up.
Lunch usually leftovers from last night's supper, if there isn't any then a salad or sandwich or whatever the special is in the work cafe
Supper I cook so whatever I want. This week I have food to make one spaghetti day, one day steak & tomatoes marinated in preserved lemon and soy sauce, one day shrimp and pineapple skewers, one day halal chicken, one day beans, rice, and greens from the garden. There is no usual. Different stuff all the time.
Sometimes I bake too, this weekend making sourdough donuts.
Mind if I ask what your recipe is for sourdough donuts?

It's a weekend project - I change his timeline to get them Sunday morning, so embiggen the starter at midnight on Friday, mix in the morning, bulk rise over day, shape at night, final rise overnight.
This time I doubled it and will try freezing half un-fried.
Also if you make sourdough, these cookies are the absolute best chocolate chip cookies in the world. I don't put quite as much chocolate in but no other changes the recipe is perfect

Thanks!
Breakfast: black coffee
Lunch: brown rice, cheese, jalapeno, red onion, some protein (usually chicken)
Dinner: salad (shredded cabbage, cheese, homemade balsamic vinaigrette, carrot, bell pepper, red onion) with something crunchy (currently gluten-free knekkebrød, but I'll be out after my next meal and it's not sold anymore here in Japan (or at least my area thereof)).
Snack/Dessert: chips and salsa or yogurt or peanuts and chocolate chips
Breakfast: a couple peanut butter sandwiches or quesadillas (just tortilla and shredded cheese, maybe a little hot sauce.) Sometimes I'll add an egg to the quesadillas if I have time.
Lunch: none
Dinner: Beans and rice or maybe rice or ramen with some mixed frozen veg and furikake. Or just more peanut butter or coldcut sandwiches.
Being poor and too stressed/tired to give a fuck sucks. Just gotta make it a couple more months and I'll be able to fix it all. That's what I keep telling myself anyhow. Gonna try to scrape together some spare change this coming month for a bucket of Orgain or something. Extra protein, fiber, etc.
I do two meals a day.
Brunch Most common, probably 2-3x a week: Bacon, egg & cheese biscuit, yogurt with fruit. Next most common: Protein shake, Fruit, Almonds
Supper Most common: Something high protein I can mean prep in advance. Chilli, Beans with pork, Rotiserie Chicken. All combined with a side of greens. Latest addition: Bowl of homemade peanut butter, banana, coffee.
Bruh I'm just trying to survive out here
I feel you. People here seem to be so particular about their diets? Wtf is Ezekiel bread, and how do they manage to make it look like the blandest white bread one could imagine? Why is there baby food with added protein now? So many questions???
I’m in the UK. Wtf is ‘Ezekial’ bread?
It comes from the Bible, Ezekiel has some stuff of what should be in bread. (It is pronted on the packaging all over) Its sprouted and has like 11 different seeds in it. It is usually in the organic freezer section in stores.
Even if you don't care for the origin story - it supposedly really good stuff, it tastes good also.
Breakfast: Coffee, maybe with milk.
Lunch: Usually nothing, maybe a salad.
Dinner: Burritos
It works for me
the bowel mover diet
Not sure how old you are but you might want to mind the sodium content of the two tins of sardines. They likely exceed your daily allotment. I know people don't worry about these things when they're young but tge habits you build now will be with you when it does matter, and they will be hard to change.
I'm 22, and believe it or not, I actually lost 120lbs over the course of 8 years. I have a whole spreadsheet dedicated to my meals which shows me everything (Calories, fats, mono/poly, sodium, fiber, etc.) I try my very best to make sure I'm healthy, tracking everything down to the gram.
Right now, I'm averaging about 2000mg sodium a day, and the seafood also provides a sufficient amount of Iodine too.
Thank you for showing concern at least haha, you're right that people need to build these habits early on.
Taking care of yourself is very good, but just in case, for anyone reading this - watch out for the eating disorders lurking behind, they can take over quite stealthily. Choose a healthy BMI or weight number and stay at that, never under, that has been my defence against anorexia taking over quite succesfully. If you are thinking about how to be healthy constantly, also read up on orthorexia.
I checked a can i have of Brunswick brand sardines in olive oil. That has 16% DV or 370mg. If theirs is similar, it looks like they may just get other sodium from the bread or tortilla or when they do caesar and they might be fine.
Breakfast: no fucking way you chase me out of bed in time.
Lunch: leftovers from dinner.
Dinner: 300g of meat/ fish/ chicken. Salad (usually red onion, lettuce, peppers, feta cheese, cucumber).
I've got about 80% adherence to this diet. Either my belt has gotten longer or my waist has gotten smaller.
Brunch: pemmican
Dinner: every now and then pemmican
Snacks: none
One to two meals a day is the win
I'd like a recipe for pemmican pretty please ... I've never tried it but imagine it must be tasty and practical
Ingredients: Meat Rendered fat of the meat
I use beef and beef tallow
Method: Dry the meat to bone dry, much drier than jerky Blend, grind, or pound the meat to powder Weigh the meat, with out the same mass of fat Melt the fat Form a well in the meat powder, pour in the fat Stir or mix until all meat is saturated with fat Tip the mix into a mold.
I make about 3 kilos of pemmican each batch, so my fresh meat is about 5kg, it dries to 1.5kg and I add 1.5kg tallow
Thank you so much!
Be warned, you need to be fat adapted to enjoy it. Very low carb or carnivore
My lard eating habits make the food pyramid rotate in its grave, I'll probably be fine.
Heyyyy +1 for pemmican! I almost never hear anyone talk about it nowadays.
It's pretty much all I eat :) the simplest portable whole food
I just try to not eat too much processed food and go to the gym
Reading the comments mine might be the weirdest...
Breakfast:
- bowl of all bran and special k with cow milk
- "adult formula" blended with almond milk. It's like feeding tube stuff as a dry powder. I struggle to eat enough calories per day without it so my doctor prescribed it, it's "nutritionally complete"
- electrolytes potion. Magnesium and vitamin C effervescent with a pinch of salt in coconut water
- small cup of Turkish coffee
- two squares of dark chocolate
Lunch
- sliced strawberries and banana with cream
- low GI crunchy bread (Bürgen) with hummus
Dinner
One of:
- vegetable and meat stew
- wholemeal spaghetti with nooch and olive oil and feta cheese
- chicken thigh with wild rice and cucumber salad
- salmon with wild rice and cucumber salad
- whatever leftovers are gifted to me (as long as it doesn't have sugar or loads of simple carbs)
I have prediabetes along with a dozen other health conditions lol
I'm on a high fat diet.
Make it high in animal fat and get rid of seed extract oils for better health
You've been getting advice from the brain worm controlling that leather handbag.
I am here reading and snorting a bit about how particular some people are about their food and its protein content, and wondering who can afford all that salmon and greek yoghurt ... although, I'm fussy about my food as well, just in a different way.
Morning is home made sourdough, butter, cheese, often an egg, sometimes meat. Lunch is the same, if I don't forget. Dinner is either insane amounts of meat and vegetable, all home raised and grown, or something insanely unhealthy, like 1l of custard or a ramen soup or two pieces of cake. Meals I forget are replaced by coffee and a blunt (lots of small meals throughout the day are good for you!).
It's balanced in the way that very unhealthy things are combined with top quality stuff in a balanced way. 🧐
Since I often forget to eat I always have to have a quick option available, therefore custard and ramen are the lesser evils. Other than that I try to produce everything myself out of local ingredients and eat really well for really cheap.
- Breakfast: None.
- Lunch: Cereal if I feel like eating, otherwise I skip.
- Dinner: Chicken wraps, with tomato, lettuce, and Mayo.
I'll eat a snack later in the evening if I'm still hungry.
