Food log 2
Jun. 18th, 2009 11:29 pmI think I mentioned something yesterday about "healthier eating" for me involving more veges and protein? Well, that hasn't happened today. I was going to get a particular ingredient for a dish I have been craving all day (peanut butter, which is something I never consume unless it's cooked into something else), and completely forgot it when I went to the supermarket this evening. By the time I got home, my give-a-fuck-meter was running low, and I totally did not want to rework my dinner plans. So I ate generic crap instead.
Breakfast
2 pieces of wholemeal toast with butter and Vegemite
Tea with soy milk and 1 sugar
Lunch
Egg sandwich on wholemeal bread, with mayo
Small muffin
Soy latte with 2 sugars
Dinner
1½ cups of white rice with salmon furikake seasoning
Similar amount porridge made with 2 tbl dried fruit and seeds, with soy milk and about 1tbl honey
For what it's worth, that adds up to 1850 calories, with 67g of fat (low for me, I think, it's about the RDI) and while it looks like carb central, there's actually 66g of protein in there (20g more than the RDI, but just enough if you go by the .8g per kilo of body weight formula, which is fine for general maintenance. I used to go by 1.5g when was doing weights. Anyway, I'll make it up in the next little while).
However, once I refuelled myself, and talking of protein, I made paneer. Why didn't someone tell me earlier it was so easy? Ok, I bought nice organic milk, so it was a few dollars to make, but it's still cheaper than buying the prepared stuff.
Also, comments are now off on LJ. I've still got invites for DW, if you want 'em, or you can do the OpenID thing with your LJ account. I'll still crosspost, and if the grand experiment doesn't work out, no worries, I'll just resurrect commenting on LJ again.
