yesterday

:)


Yesterday!

In my stir fry I had:
Brocolli
Chinese Leaf
Mangy-Touts
Courgette
Mushrooms
Green Peppers

Also had a satsuma during the day. Go me!


Sunday probably

Think I'm ticking over four this week (less than normal this year), but I'm on an "eat whatever I want" binge until next week anyway.


this may be a daft question

but can you have "too many" of your 5 a day?


technically yes

but it's not the worst thing you'll ever do foodwise.


and most of it will go through you

so the only part of you that will actually notice is your bum hole...


depends

as a rule of thumb, you shouldn't have more n 3 fruit (cos of sugars), but you can have as many veg (especially green leafy veg) as you want(cos, as pointed out above, it'll just help clean your insides and dirty your toilet paper).

I ignore that though


When I was ten most likely....

Quite possibly never.


REALLY?


I more or less lived on sugar when I was young

And I haven't ever cooked. Like anything. I had one of those fruit salad boxes a few weeks ago, how many portions is that?


I'm not sure

because I don't know what counts as 1. Like obviously 1 apple = 1, but what about vegetables in a stir fry or pasta?

I drink alot of smoothies 'cos I'm lazy


and they are darn tastey too

i had some strawberry and banana this fair morn. YUMMY!!!!!


Not the easiest thing to keep in mind though!

I think I probably get 3 a day at most then


yeah i think about the same

i should sort that out really


Strawberry skins

and lots of them?


It's before noon and I think I've already done it today

I'm like the bizarro-Lemmy


monday

last night i just ate bread and crisps and went drinking


Yesterday,

in fact pretty much everyday. One down today...4 to go!


I think today is looking good...

Have had strawberries, big salad and an avocado and I'm having a thai beef and brocolli thing later...yay. I feel accomplished and suddenly more healthy.


I can't figure out whether I'm supposed

to be offended by that or not.


I shouldn't be

it's just referencing coldy pairing people off. The world's not against you. This time.

Next time, gadget, next time


The world is totally against me

DiS even more so.


The world is against all of us

prejudicial bastard


i got to two yesterday

and will likely do the same to me.


They had a food fight

in his belly. He's now suffering with terrible indigestion


not far off

i've started eating bananas at lunch, in an effort to be a bit more 'healthy', and they do make my stomach twinge..


maybe last friday?

possibly approached 7 or 8. occasionally i am a healthy vegetarian, and dont just eat chesse and veggie sausages


yesterday maybe

i had at least three


yesterday

chips for lunch totally counts as one yeh?
and some orange juice, and mushroom/butternut squash in a pilau and some grapes.

i might end up getting it today if i can be arsed to go to the worst morrisons in the world after work.


yesterday

glass of orange juice (from concentrate)
some cucumber, 1 tomato and lettuce in sandwich
1/2 onion, 1 pepper, 4 mushrooms, more lettuce, fair amount of sweetcorn, and most of a little tub of salsa

i'm pretty sure i got 5 portions out of that


Yesterday

but I've been having my 5 a day for atleast the past 2 weeks, as I've realised it's so easy to do.


every day

if you don't get "5 a day" without even bothering, there's something wrong. It's no wonder people are obese in this country when they have to set themselves a target to eat only 5 pieces of fruit and veg a day.


Yep. There's something wrong

with people who don't eat five 'fruit and veg' a day. Or, some people have different diets that don't fit in with some completely arbitrary amount of one particular food group.

I remember at school they'd tell us that being healthy was about having a meal made up of one thing from each of five food groups. I can't remember what they were, like, fruit, meat, carbs or proteins or something.

Now, it's five fruit and veg a day, a number they've seemingly picked from thin air. Pish.

A healthy day can start with a cereal, move onto maybe a jacket potato for lunch (if you want to be on this 'health' kick) and then meat & two for tea. Which doesn't equal 'five a day'.

It's an absolute sack of bulljizz.


That was probably it.

I couldn't remember, I was too busy thinking about having to go and piss after drinking my OBVIOUSLY WHOLLY NECESSARY OTHERWISE YOU'LL DIE two litres of water a day.


this ^

I'm normally on 4 or 5 by after lunch

it's really not difficult


people are obese because

they eat poor food and too much of it. "5 a day" has fuck all to do with it. i'm not claiming i'm slim, but i eat really badly and i'm not overweight. the difference is i just eat in moderation.


i think it's pretty symbolic

nanny state and all that...

In (everybody's favourite country) japan the recommended amount is like 10 or something. And they're all well healthy.


Hmm...

I dunno if I'd say it's nannystateish, only because so few people seem to have any idea what eating in a relatively healthy way involves. I work in a health food shop and so many people come in complaining that they need something for energy.

Me: What's your diet like?
Customer: I'm not on a diet.
Me: Oh, sorry, I mean do you eat a balanced range of foods, regular meals and so on?
Customer: Oh, well, I can't really be bothered so I have a huge latte and a cake for breakfast, feel a bit tired by lunch time so I'll have a few doughnuts delivered to my desk, then when I get home it's down the chippy or a couple of microwave lasagnes, one's too small isn't it? That's about normal, right?

Obviously the above is a slight exaggeration, but not as much as you'd hope.


Weekend

Strawberry Laces
Strongbow
Carrot Cake
Disco Beans
Cherry Garcia


i'm not sure

i definitely have two (an apple and a banana) with my lunch, then it depends what we have for dinner. I reckon I average about four.


The other day I had seven portions

all i the form of innocent smoothies. Mmm hmmm...

I rarely actually have my five, I should try harder. I think I had three yesterday, which is fairly good for me.


I couldn't afford to have five portions of fruit and veg every day.

Healthy food is waaaay too expensive.


It really isn't

I'm in a dire financial state and can afford to buy fruit and veg.


You can fill yourself up on junk food

a lot cheaper.

For example, a microwave meal can cost as little as 99p. It'd be pretty hard to buy all the ingrediants for a healthy meal, including veg for even close to the same price.


I thought this might be the case.

I think it can count for up to three or something like that.


Yesterday, but I am not consistant.

I usually have a good week then a bad week.


every day I reckon

I like fruit and vegetables. I don't try and do it though.


i have at least five everyday too

so why do i still look and feel like shit?


i have way more than 5.

vegetables are amazing.


you're quite right though, i still feel like shit though too.

might have something to do with the several litres of alcohol i consume every week though.
