Come on, everyone! I want to see what you all eat!

Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: 2 slices wholemeal bread, toasted, spread with sunflower margerine.
Morning Snack: 1 Low-fat hummous, lettuce & tomato sandwich on wholemeal bread. 1 orange.
Lunch: Spicy Vegetable pasty
Afternoon snack: Chocolate chip flapjack
Tea: Mashed Potato with carrots and cabbage, sage and onion stuffing, Lincolnshire veggie-sausages and Vegetarian gravy.

I was rather full after all that well, you need comfort food at this time of year

I also had black coffee during the day, and about 1 litre of water. In the evening some low-calorie Ginger Beer.

What I ate today.
Hm,
In the morning I ate vegan pilaf, and a special kind of cake with mushrooms and linen seeds that my wife prepared. I added some flax oil to the pilaf that spoiled everything, the flax oil is bad I think because it's too bitter, probably it's too old.
During the day I ate a lot of tangerines.
Then I ate red vegan borscht, a kind of beetroot soup with lots of vegetables it had cauliflower instead of traditional cabbage, I ate it with bread and hummus.
My third meal consisted of 1/2 avocado, 2 tomatoes, bread and salt.
I have to admit I eat a lot of bread with everything, which is not really good.
And I ate small pieces of this mushroom cake during the day and drank plain water.
I think I will go and make some blackcurrant tea now... it actually has nothing in it but blackcurrant sugar and water.. but we call it tea anyway.

Andy, would your wife mind sharing her recipe for mushroom and linen seed cake? It sounds like a good snack. I know loads of people who buy seeds but don't know what to do with them

My father insists that bread is "the staff of life" if it's good quality bread (and you don't need to lose weight) then I think it's OK - a good source of nutrients.
