Need to get to bed, so I'm just going to slap today's food pictures up and leave it at that. (Although I will remind people that I only eat a quarter of that chicken for lunch!)

 

Back bacon all gone - streaky bacon with my eggs this morning. And Coffee, always coffee.

 Gnawed on some gum.

 Marianne brought homemade cookies. Kinda like ameritti but made with hazlenuts. Tasty little nuggets.

 Lunch line-up. Last of the fish from Sunday dinner plus jicama, celery, carrots and a radish.

 For the first time in months I was cool at work - easily fixed by a nice hot cuppa.

 Chew chew chew.

 Again, courtesy of Marianne - lovely yogurt and a big spoon of her homemade strawberry jam. Was probably just the right time for strawberries because it was the best jam ever!

 Dinner just the same as last night. 1/4 of a hamburger pie and a side salad.

More lite hot chocolate mix fortified with a splash of Crown Royal.

The day began with a usual breakfast of a couple of eggs and a slice of back bacon.

Mid-morning snack was a bit of cheese and some Ukrainian sausage (20g of each, I think).

There was some veggies and dip left over from some meeting or other, so I took a carrot slice and a teensy tomato with a touch of ranch dressing.

Lunch was a half-cup of cottage cheese, an NSA strawberry yogurt and a rotisserie chicken from Save-On Foods. ... No, I did not eat the whole chicken. I eat a quarter of it each day, so it lasts me four work lunches/dinners.

There was a box of Peak Freans tea cookies and I caved and had one. But only one!

And dinner was a serving of hamburger pie (yum!) and a side salad.

Breakfast day two - one slice back bacon, two fried eggs and one large mug of strong coffee.

Morning 'coffee' break is just a few carrots since breakfast is lasting well.

I chew rather a lot of gum at work.

Lunch is left-over fish and mushrooms from Sunday dinner and so
me carrots, jicama sticks and celery.

Rooting around in my locker for some dental floss I found some elderly drink mix so seeing as I've already finished my litre of water that I brought I mixed some up. It was.... moderately tasty.

Doug picked up the little yogourts this week. I was trying to resist this brand because of their saturation advertising but it's still tasty and in my fridge so - whatever.

Now that's what I call dinner. Hamburger pie (ie a pie made of ground beef with a filling of flavoured cream cheese) Om nom! also a small salad.

and to finish up the day - lite hot chocolate mix with a little cream and a shot of rye. Sigh.

Monday morning off to Shine Cafe for an Ooooo Benny having seen the re-run of "You gotta eat here" last night where Barry makes one for John.

I actually left a couple of bites on my plate - hardly ever happens!

Because of our hearty brunch we didn't eat again until I made a chef salad for an early dinner.

Of course that didn't hold us until bedtime so around 8pm we both had some peanut butter on a couple of bran crisps and I had a decaf mocha.

Had a late-ish breakfast, late enough to also serve as lunch. We decided to go down to the always good Shine Cafe and I had the croque-madame eggs benny with a side of grilled tomato. Yum!

Dinner was a nice, big chef's salad, with eggs, goat cheese, some turkey meat and plenty of greens.

And, for an evening snack, a couple of slices of GG brand fibre cracker slathered with a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter.

Doug here! Well, this is new...

I'm not going to worry too much about exact numbers or counting the calories of my food. I'm hoping that just sharing photos of everything I eat (Title Drop!) will prevent me from plain old overeating. Here goes:

For breakfast, just a straightforward couple of eggs and a single slice of back bacon.

For lunch, a salmon burger (pretty yummy for store bought) and a tablespoon of homemade tartar sauce that Lynn whipped up in about 60 seconds.

Felt a need for an afternoon snack. 30 grams each of some marble cheese and Ukranian garlic sausage ring.

Lynn again performed kitchen magic and made us basa fillets with mushrooms and garlic served on a bed of spinach. Had a sugar-free grape Zevia brand pop.

And finally a little caprese salad, with Lynn and I having four pieces each.
