Clean Eating: Day Three

Hello again! Today was the first clean shop; very easy and not expensive when sharing the cost with my fellow clean-eater. The shop consisted mostly of vegetables, kidney beans and butter beans in water, nakd bars for sweet-but-healthy snacks (vegan and sooooo yum), wholemeal bread, plain yoghurt and mixed nuts. We also bought agave nectar, and after squirting it accidently over the side, we tried a smidgeon; the conclusion was toffee apples. Not a bad thing for 13 calories per teaspoon.

 

Passing the cake, chocolate, crisps, sinners aisle was not too hard, although we did point out everything we'd eat (most things). I am enjoying not eating sweet things mindlessly; tonight I didn't crave anything sweet. Although come Sunday, I will probably devour a 5-pack of double chocolate chip cookies, and a packet of French fancies. Just kidding, but not really.

 

I didn't exercise today, or even walk to and from Uni, however I am feeling the effects of Monday's workout. I am doing it again this weekend at the Uni house except for a couple of variations, as unfortunately we don't have any TRX suspension equipment here. Or at my parents' house, for that matter.

 

Without further delay, here are today's meals:

Breakfast:

Porridge, flavoured with cinnamon and brown sugar

1 cup of tea

 

Lunch:

Leftover quorn bolognaise, no pasta

1 cup of tea

1 nakd bar

 

Snack:

1 pancake (plain flour, egg, soya milk), sweetened with brown sugar

1 banana

 

Dinner:

This meal was an odd mix because I really wasn't hungry enough to cook a proper meal. Instead, I had:

4 quorn cocktail sausages

2 tomatoes

2 slices of wholemeal toast and healthy peanut butter (Whole Earth smooth)

 

I've also had 1.5 litres of water and maybe an extra cup of tea in there somewhere. I reckon around 1700 calories. I do actually work out the calories, but my calculations allow for anything I've grossly undercounted; for example, today came in at 1649.

 

So, today is done...

Goodnight from England,

Pip xxx
