Rubriik: Food Friday

On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. Healthy or unhealthy: you will see it all.

Today I just very busy and wasn’t feeling like weighing my food and typing everything into a calorie counting app. I don’t do that on an everyday basis, why do it for Food Fridays? I don’t think I’ll be adding nutrition information to these posts from now on. If you’re not OK with that, let me know. If people still want caloric intakes, I can post them.

 

Breakfast: 10.45 AM

• half a cup of oats

• half a cut of oat bran

• 1 cup of milk

• 1 cup on water

• salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar

• strawberries (actually I added about the same amount more, I just couldn’t fit them all in my bowl)

 

Lunch: 2.45 PM

My mom’s cooking skills are just out of this world! Old-school Estonian home cooked food rocks! 🙂 This meal might not look great but it tasted SO good. Man I really like being home at my parent’s house… 

• 1 large portion of cabbage and minced meat stew

• 1,5 boiled potatoes

• 1 slice of rye bread

• some grilled chicken breast

• ketchup

 

Dinner: 7.15 PM

I thought I was really really hungry by dinnertime and set up way too much food. I ate the plate of savoury stuff but only took a couple of almonds from my desert bowl and then did something the old me would have never done: I put the desert away. I was full and didn’t want to eat any more. This intuitive eating has really sorted out psychological side of eating for me. I can have the desert tomorrow morning as a great post-workout if I want to (and if it’s still in the fridge). 😀 

 

• 2 slices of dark rye bread

• 2 slices of cheese

• some grilled chicken breast

• ketchup (I’m obviously obsessed since I have it in every Friday’s menu)

• 1 slice of light rye bread

• smoked ham (yum!)

• 1 tomato

• 1 carrot

• a few almonds

 

That was it for today. Maybe not the most super healthy day but I’d still say it wasn’t unhealthy either. I mean, I added a teaspoon of sugar to my porridge and ate quite a lot of bread but in my mind, that’s not unhealthy. What do you think?

As I mentioned, I was very busy and physically active today. Cycled to the city, swam, cycled back, did a ton of walking, cycled some more, foam rolled. Out of curiosity I summed upped my burnt calories. Roughly 1300 kcal burnt with just those activities today. Oh wow. I don’t even feel like I’ve worked out today. Just live an active life, avoid bus/car transportation and get fit. 🙂

Next Food Friday in a week!

On Food Fridays I will tell you about everything I ate that day. Healthy or unhealthy: you will see it all.

Today was a rather regular boring day: sleep, work out, study, small break to get my race stuff, study some more, hopefully go to sleep at a normal time. Managed to even cook some food in the meanwhile. Keeping up healthy eating habits can get quite tricky when you’re super busy all the time…

Nutrition information  

Not too much more to explain: today was a normal day. Now going back to study materials and working hard. Tomorrow will be a moment of truth at the 4,3K Charity Run: can I run the 10K on Sunday or not. I’m so anxious. I want to run so bad but at the same time, what if it hurts? What if I find out I can’t race on Sunday? That would make me really really sad. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I’ll keep you updated on my blog’s FaceBook page.

 

Next Food Friday in a week!
