What I Ate Today

Hey loves!

I often get asked about my diet/fitness routine (when I’m feeling motivated enough to do one!) so I thought I’d start sharing little snippets of the sorts of things I like to eat on both healthy days and cheat days! As you’ll probably be able to tell, on this particular day I kept it pretty clean.

*plot twist – it didn’t last very long*

But this is pretty much the brekky, lunch & dinner I stick to when I want to be extra healthy.

Breakfast

Porridge is my fave thing to eat first thing as it definitely fills me up but I don’t find it too heavy. You can buy oats from pretty much any supermarket & it’s as simple as following the instructions on your packet! Here’s how I make mine incase you’re curious –

• 30-40g of oats

• 250-300ml of half semi skimmed milk half water (if you want to be super good then use all water but I think the milk helps to thicken it and make it creamier. You can also replace with almond milk for a vegan alternative!)

Place it on the hob in a pan on a medium-high heat and allow it to start simmering. Then bring the heat down and keep stirring it until you feel it’s thick enough. Pop it in a bowl and eat as it is or add a little spoonful of reduced sugar jam to sweeten it up!

In my tumblr I just have water. I try to drink at least two litres every day, as it keeps you hydrated and stops you overeating.

Lunch/Dinner

When I’m being extra good, I pretty much stick to the same thing for lunch and dinner but switch the meat out! It’s also really handy to cook extra and prepare yourself little lunch pots to pop in the fridge for other days. Here’s what I made today –

• 4 salmon fillets – cooked in a tray in foil in the oven (like I said, cooked in bulk to save for other days. Feel free to switch this out for quorn or something similar if you’re vegetarian/vegan)

• Asparagus, broccoli & green beans – cooked in a steamer on the hob

Sounds super boring I know, but green veg & meat/quorn give you a good round source of protein and vitamins. Again, very filling and very clean!

Snacks

If there’s any point throughout the morning in between breakfast and lunch or in the afternoon between lunch and dinner when I’m feeling a little peckish, I always loveeeee to snack on some fruit! Like the green veg, gives you a really good amount of vitamins (and tends to taste a little better too in my opinion!)

Here I just chopped up some pear & kiwi and threw in some blueberries and raspberries too, all super yummy and not too high in sugar 🙂

Hope some of you found this useful! Let me know if you did and I’d be happy to share a few more adventurous things that I like to cook & eat on other days.
