What have you had to eat today?

Jan 10, 2007 09:58

I have had a craving for homemade cornbread for a couple days, so I made some. (and, yes, I started with popcorn kernals in a bag and ground them up in our electric mill to make fresh cornmeal ( Read more... )

Pumpernickel bagel, cinnamon roll donut, butter, diet coke. However I'm a reverse eater -- heavy in the am, light at night. And the donut was unusual.

That's the healthier way to eat, I think. More in the AM, less as the day goes on. I try to do that, but it usually doesn't work. Oops.

Try working out late at night; you won't want to eat much post gym at 10pm. Solves itself that way. ;)_

Yeah, unless you're only scraping in at 1,000-1,200 calories in a day anyway, then your body is STARVING after that although you're really not all that interested in eating anything.

This was my life last summer.

I've only been awake an hour, so I just had breakfast. I eat the same thing nearly every day: oatmeal with skim milk and either hot tea or Pepsi One (I know that is bad, but I don't drink coffee and sometimes need caffeine).

r_a_l_i_g_h January 10 2007, 20:00:56 UTC

Do you have just quick rolled oats or do you add stuff to it?

I like to put raisins and chopped apple in the water before I bring it to a boil so that the oats absore the sweetness and the flavor.

Breakfast was cafe con leche (aka Cuban coffee with milk) and cream cheese on white toast (I try to eat wheat, but toasted wheat bread tastes weird).

And about an hour ago, I snacked on an 90 cal Chocolate chunk chewy granola bar.

Storebought wheat IS kinda funky when toasted. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that. - Speaking of which, we made a fresh batch of bread today! But I already splurged a ton of empty carb calories on cornbread. Poo. =(

I was reading last week's People and it was their weight loss issue, and someone lost a lot of weight by doing the opposite for their meals and is even releasing a book on it (I think it's called the Reverse Diet). It does sort of make sense to do that but I don't think I can eat what my mom made for dinner the night before for breakfast the next morning, but I have no doubt that it would be a better plan.

r_a_l_i_g_h January 10 2007, 20:10:35 UTC

Hmmm. I think I may try that at some point in the future. (I've gotten back to seriously focusing on my weight loss/fitness, so I'm looking for different ideas and systems to give me some variation over the long haul.)

I think we eat identically, or in our dreams we would. (though I've never had fried chicken.)

I had a light bagel with light cream cheese (just a touch) and some onion powder sprinkled on it. Also a cup of coffee with 1 teaspoon of sugar and a little bit of skim milk.

Ooh and your cornbread sounds delicious!

r_a_l_i_g_h January 10 2007, 20:13:21 UTC

Thanks, I'll type up the recipe tonight or tomorrow.

r_a_l_i_g_h January 21 2007, 19:25:06 UTC

Cornbread recipe, FYI.
