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

Today is the day before Tartu Olümpiajooks 10K, so today I consciously tried to eat more carbs: grains and sugars. I also tried to drink more water. Gotta have some glycogen stores and stay properly hydrated for tomorrow’s race in 30 degrees Celsius. 

 

Breakfast: 9.45 AM

  • 1 carrot

  • 1 small banana

  • half a cup of regular oats 

  • half a cup of oat bran

  • 1 cup of water

  • 1 cup of milk

  • salt

  • 1 teaspoon of unrefined Demerara sugar

  • dark cocoa powder

 

Lunch: 3.15 PM

I was outdoors all day, first on the beach and then in a park. The weather is lovely and I’m trying to spend as much time as possible outside. So I had a little picnic on the park bench. 🙂

  • 2 slices of rye bread with seeds

  • 1 carrot

  • 2 chunks of parsnip (kaalikas)

  • 1 large apple

  • 1/4 cup of whole grain pasta

  • 70 grams of chicken thigh meat

  • 0,5 egg

  • 100 grams of frozen veggie mix (cauliflower, broccoli, carrot)

  • olive oil

  • salt & pepper

  • ketchup

  • teriyaki sauce

 

Dinner: 7.30 PM

  • 2 slices of rye bread with seeds

  • 1 large slice cheese

  • 1 tomato

  • 200 grams of curd (kohupiim)

  • 100 grams of kefir

  • 1/4 cup of oats

  • 2 teaspoons of unrefined Demerara sugar

  • 1 small banana

  • raspberries

 

Hopefully enough carbs for the 10K. I’m actually pretty scared! 30 degrees and sun. It’s even tiring to walk not to mention run and furthermore: race. There are 3 drinking points but still: the heat kills you. I would like to get a personal best tomorrow but I’m not going to get my hopes too high. Wish me luck!

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 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

The porridge was extra creamy today 🙂

  • 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… 

Homewood meals are the best!

  • 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). 😀 

Didn’t eat the desert though.

 

The inside of my sandwich.

  • 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!
