Myself as an example:
Breakfast : 2 weetabix with pot of yoghurt and honey
Lunch: Salad (vegetarian) , apple, cereal bar
Dinner: Soup with a slice of brown bread, two caramel rice crackers
Snacks: apple, 2 cheese oat biscuits -

Re: what do you eat on a typical day?Breakfast: 4-6 scrambled eggs with butter and cheese with 2 slices of toast and butter
Lunch: 2 tins of tuna, oil, salad
Dinner 1: Chicken soup and a 12" baguette with butter
Dinner 2: 4-600g of chicken and 500g veggies with either stir fry sauce or soy sauce depending on how much sugar I want.
I'll also eat chocolate and/or cake if I feel flat and have to lift heavy stuff.
Pre workout snack is usually 2 tbspns of peanut butter mixed with a dollop of honey. -

Hi guys
I'm doing a small dietary survey and I'm interested in what you eat on a typical day: breakfast, lunch , dinner and any snack in between.
Myself as an example:
Breakfast : 2 weetabix with pot of yoghurt and honey
Lunch: Salad (vegetarian) , apple, cereal bar
Dinner: Soup with a slice of brown bread, two caramel rice crackers
Snacks: apple, 2 cheese oat biscuits
WTF? How can you eat so little? I am a skinny guy, but I don't think I've ever eaten that little in any day during my entire life! -

Re: what do you eat on a typical day?Apologies if you're telling the truth, but I don't believe any healthy person eats this in a day. There's hardly any food(Original post by watami)

Breakfast: apple, banana
Tea break: oats
Lunch: chicken salad , no dressing. Fruit salad
Tea break: coffee
Dinner: carbs, about 600cals worth of chicken breast, marinade and a ton of veg.
I need to cut down on my fruit and find time for a proper breakfast.
I finish couch to 5k in about 3 weeks at which point I'll be starting lifting and revamping my diet. I'd like to try keto at some point.
currently I take about 1900 cals a day and I've been consistently dropping 3-4lbs a week.

Re: what do you eat on a typical day?Ok so I have 320 kcal in my waking up shake. 300-900 kcal in my fruits. About 60kcals from aminos, 1000 kcals from 4 cheese stuff/ chicken breast with cheese, 900-1500 kcal from seeds and another 240 from the last shake.(Original post by Converse Rocker)
Apologies if you're telling the truth, but I don't believe any healthy person eats this in a day. There's hardly any food
So I eat about 3000 kcals. And that's only from "main meals", which I always have, even if not hungry. I don't keep track of my snacks as I have them randomly. -

I only eat clean food & no sugar. I work out for at least one hour per day.
Typical food intake
Breakfast- one egg scrambled with large mixed salad, EVOO
Lunch- Tin tuna in brine & veg/salad. Homemade mayo. handful of berries
Dinner- chicken & large stir fry cooked in extra virgin coconut oil.
Snacks would be berries and/or nuts.
I also drink copious amounts if water 😊

Re: what do you eat on a typical day?Breakfast - shredded wheat with milk (about 80g of wheat)
Lunch - (today I had) 500g boiled potatoes, half a roast chicken and 250g of boiled peas
Tea - Not sure what I'll have yet, but around the same quantities as lunch (in terms of carbs/proteins/fats)
Before sleeping - two apples (or equivalent in the form of whatever fruit is in the house)
Will probably just drink water throughout the day as well.Last edited by LookIt'sPete; 07-08-2012 at 14:05. -

Re: what do you eat on a typical day?Breakfast: Nothing.
Lunch: Maybe a packet of crisps or two.
Tea: the usual british dinner you expect to have (sausage & potatoes, chicken curry, McDonalds once a week)
I haven't drunk water in almost a year now because I have some sort of allergic reaction to it.
Its hard to gain weight when you don't like meat and are put off dairy products.Last edited by nmr1991; 07-08-2012 at 16:49. -

Re: what do you eat on a typical day?Fair point, but why not replace most of it with food? I would have thought it was cheaper than using supplements to get the same amount of calories.(Original post by watami)
