Huge breakfast
11.30 Cappuccino
13.00 Omelette with bacon (made by my sister, so it tasted a lot better than when I make them :D )
+ Whole milk
+ A little bit of the chicken/spinach/bacon (with cream) my sister had on her tagliatelle

16.00 Fruit salad

Greek yogurt, banana, apple, goose berries, and sugar unfortunately... But my sister made it for me so I couldn't say no

19.00 Snacks: shrimp, mushrooms, olives, 1 slice of baguette (about 1/2 inch) with garlic butter + 3 cola zeros

Not healthy, I know... :( but it's hard to balance health and 'not being weird and obsessed'

23.00-01.00 3 beers + 1 cola zero

This was officially a very bad day in terms of diet (but a good day in general :p).

I ate a LOT* yesterday, I had my breakfast at 12, snack at 2 PM, "dinner" at 3 PM, went to work and got home at midnight. At 3 AM my sister's boyfriend asked if I wanted to eat something, so we went for takeaway chicken breast with a salad (well, everyone else got a kebab). I know eating at 3 AM isn't good for you but I hadn't eaten for over 12 hours... :p

* It feels like a lot but I actually only had 1500-1800 calories so it's not that much, I guess? (I burned around 2200 according to FS)

It's 10 PM now, and I'm craving sweet food. I wonder if this has anything to do with the diet cokes and/or the slice of refined white bread I had, or if this is just a coincidence. Meh, I'll have some black tea and try to ignore it. I'm not hungry, I know I'm not.

12.00
- Omelette with spinach
- Green tea

Worst. Idea. Ever. I had to put loads of cheese on it to cover up the taste :') It looks delicious on pictures on recipe sites but mine just looked like... Slimy spinach.

But yay, I'm losing weight again! I don't want to get too excited though as these fast drops don't last more than a few days. :p

13.00 Coffee with a liiiiiittle bit of milk (x2)

14.00 Apple with peanut butter

15.00 Bacon bacon bacon!

00.30 (at night) 1 cup of whole milk

03.00 (at night) Shoarma: ordered a dish with chicken, salad, and fries, but didn't eat the fries

(Is it safe to eat canned sardines every day? And what about canned tuna? I also have alaska pollock in the freezer here, would that be safe? And are all fish equally good to get your omega 3 fats?)

Meal 1
12.00 Omelette with sardines + Greek yogurt with goose berries (thanks Buffybear!)

I think I'm going to take Omega 3 supplements because I can't get the right ratio no matter how hard I try. Right now my ratio is about 3:1... Which is good actually (Hunter-gatherers had about 2:1 to 4:1 while Inuits had 1:4 - Industrial populations have an average of 16:1) ( link ) . Maybe I don't need supplements after all. :D

The omelette with sardines actually tasted better than I thought it would. :p


14.00 Jasmine Green Tea
15.00 1/2 Cup whole milk

17.00 (snack) Small piece of 99% cocoa chocolate

The taste is so strong it takes 5-10 minutes to eat a piece of 3 grams :p so it's a good thing to eat if you're just bored and not hungry

19.00 "Spaghetti"

Went home and saw my parents made spaghetti, and I love spaghetti! But I can't have the pasta, especially when it's not whole wheat. So my first idea was to make a "spaghetti sauce burrito", using the recipe for cream cheese pancakes since it tastes like egg anyways. 1 tbsp of cream cheese, 1 egg, little bit of salt, lots of pepper, pilipili, oregano, thyme, basil, etc. mix it all together and bake it like a pancake/burrito. Unfortunately it wasn't firm enough so I couldn't make a 'burrito' so the only thing I could come up with was to cut it in long thin pieces, like pasta. It actually tasted great! (if you're on a low-carb/LCHF/Atkins/primal/keto/... diet).


21.00 1 tbsp of peanut butter




Small victory: I was offered a pizza and I said no! Yay!

Breakfast

12.00 Greek yogurt with berries, 2 fried eggs and lady grey tea

(Don't know what these berries are called in English)

Snack
15.00 Apple with peanut butter

Dinner
18.00 Pork and veggies

Drinks
19.00 Black tea vanilla flavor

Snack 2
20.00 Dark chocolate (1 piece = 2.4g) with a coffee + whole milk

99% pure chocolate, whoa! Luckily I "practiced" with 85% chocolate earlier this year - I wouldn't be able to handle the taste if I wasn't already used to it. :p I won't get any nutrients from it but now I can have something other than peanut butter as a kinda-unhealthy snack. :')

I have a headache now (started immediately after I finished my coffee). I don't know if it's because it was a strong cup of coffee or if I have a caffeine withdrawal :') (I had WAY more caffeine the previous days, idk)

I entered some random days into Cronometer.com (like FS but with nutrients), and I could use some more of these in my diet:
- Vitamin B1 (fish, pork, nuts, asparagus,...)
- Folate (spinach, asparagus, avocado, broccoli,...)
- Vitamin E (spinach, nuts, avocados, shrimp, fish, olive oil, broccoli,...)
- Calcium (leafy greens, dairy, chinese cabbage, broccoli, almonds, canned fish,...)
- Copper (kale, mushrooms, nuts, avocado, goat cheese,...)
- Iron (nuts, beef, lamb, spinach, dark chocolate (yay!),...)
- Magnesium (spinach, nuts, mackerel, avocado, dairy, bananas, dark chocolate,...)
- Manganese (nuts, fish, spinach, kale, tea,...)
- Potassium (spinach, yogurt, fish, avocado, mushrooms, bananas,...)

Some days I also didn't have enough vitamin C, D, K and B5.
- Vitamin C (chili peppers (yum!), bell peppers, kale, broccoli, strawberries,...)
- Vitamin D (fish, fortified dairy, eggs, mushrooms,...)
- Vitamin K (herbs, dark leafy greens, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, cabbage, pickled cucumber,...)
- Vitamin B5 (mushrooms, cheese, oily fish, avocados, eggs, meat,...)

Seems like I need to write a new grocery list :D Yay for extra dark chocolate and avocado!
