My average day is usually something like this:
Morning: Depends on my mood. Can be anything from a piece of yeast cake to toast with marmite, usually around 300-400 calories.
Lunch: Either a sandwich of dark rye bread with cold cuts or a bowl of soup (I made AMAZING vegetable soup last week and there's still enough left for at least another day or two).
Dinner: Depends on what I manage. If I can, I like to try and make protein and carbs for dinner (so meat and pasta or potatoes, or fish, or that sort of thing).
Snacks: (throughout the day) 1-2 chocolate chip cookies or granola cookies, an apple, a packet of crisps, quite often I'll cut up cucumbers, carrots and/or red peppers, and snack on them with sour cream dip or thousand island dressing.
Drinks: I usually try to have at least one cup of fennel tea, and if we have it in the house, I'll drink a cup or two of orange juice as well. Other than that, I try to drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day (not always easy).
I'm planning to go to a dietitian at some point soon, just for one meeting, so I can get a better idea of what I should ideally be eating in order to have plenty of milk for Jesse, but still keep losing weight.
I don't tend to keep track on Friday night or Saturdays, but I'm pretty sure I'm managing to keep in my guidelines from myfitnesspal. Saturdays my meals are usually less structured. Lunch is always there and is usually big (I ate two chicken thighs at lunch yesterday! I was starving!), but other than that I don't tend to snack as much, and dinner is usually much smaller, as is breakfast.
