Breakfast

1 boiled egg or about 50g of soya beans (edamame)

Millet Porridge with Apple

Snacks

Red Pepper/Cucumber/Carrot sticks with hummus

A handful of nuts e.g. cashews, pistachios, almonds

Lunch

In the winter I cook one of my soups, my favourite is Coconut Chicken Soup.

In the summer I tend to cook something like chicken cooked with spices and served with a salad dressed with lemon/lime juice and extra virgin olive oil or any of the lunches I have created before.  My favourite is lamb meatballs, quinoa and roasted vegetables.

Snacks

A portion of fruit e.g. 2 clementines, 1 apple, 1 banana

Dinner

This could be a piece of meat seasoned with herbs and spices served with vegetables and sweet potatoes, wholemeal pasta or brown rice.

Usually it’s me experimenting with various recipes and eating my mistakes until I find one that works!

There is a dinner category but I am conscious that this needs to be added to.

My favourite dinner recipe is Pina Colada Chicken and my favourite side to go with something plain is Sweet Potato Dauphinoise.  I also love anything mexican which is good as it’s easy to make mexican food fresh and healthy.

To drink

I usually drink about 5 cups of herbal tea, 1-2 cups of decaf coffee with semi skimmed milk and 500ml – 1 litre of water.  I’m trying to increase the amount of pure water I drink.

Bingeing

It’s very easy to binge if you’ve had a bad day or you’re tired.

I watch the kinds of things I binge on and choose not to have those kinds of foods lying around the house.

I find that decaf coffee with milk helps on these days as well.  It’s like a hug in a mug.

Having a good night’s sleep is always beneficial to staying on track so I tend not to watch any screens after 9pm if I have work in the morning and read instead.
