I rely on my supermarket shop, which means I often go for the same fruits and vegetables. The ones I know well and can cook simply. I’m going to try and be more conscious about this point now!

Yesterday I ate:

• raisin toast & butter: wheat, raisins, butter
• soy latte: coffee & soy milk
• mandarin
• leftover variation of this recipe: quinoa, edamame beans, spinach, olives, beetroot leaves, capers, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, dried herbs & spices
• strawberries & chocolate
• lentil & beetroot salad: lentils, beetroot, mint, lemon juice & zest, shallots, olive oil, carrot, preserved lemon
• yoghurt & strawberries

Which I think makes about 25+ foods.

How did you go?

Yesterday I ate:
porridge with milk and some honey
a glass of orange juice
two cups of balck tea with milk
a handful of almonds
two slices of organic sourdough rye bread with avocado and lemon
half a mandarin
about five strawberries
a skinny latte
a stirfry with beef, onions, garlic, ginger, chilli, lemon grass, carrot, broccoli, red capsicum, bok choy, snowpeas, and thai noodles
a glass of red wine
a cup of warm milk with honey and nutmeg

maybe I need to cut down my milk?

hmmm…
Porridge with milk, LSA and sultanas (6)
Apple (+1)
Calci-yum (+0)
Leftover chicken stew: chicken, onion, turnip, carrot, celery, spices, and couscous (+7)
Peach/mango yoghurt (+1) with sprinkle of muesli (+1) and LSA
A few dates and almonds (+1)
Mexican spiced steak with warm salad of: onion, capsicum, garlic, beans, corn, coriander, olive oil, lime (+8)
Slice of glace orange (+1)

About 25 as well, although counting 1/3 of a lime and 1 slice orange was probably pushing it!

Sort of confirms what I was thinking when reading the comments on the bread post last week. I’m not really that attached to bread, but nobody better touch my oats!

A corner of my husband’s brownie

A total of around 30, not counting the brownie. I’m quite pleased with this as I have done this exercise a few times since reading Kathryn’s previous post and most days I usually only get around 20.

Good food lists everyone. I reckon if you’re getting over 20 you’re doing well. Good to see lots of fruit and vegies in there as well . . .

Wow, so impressed with everyone’s eating habits! I can’t believe how much some people are packing into their daily diets.

This is a good simple exercise to improve the diet.

Previously I had 14.

Since this exercise I pack in 22.
