Solid foods: Day two

Today's food and other stuff. You'll notice that I exceeded my 1000-1200 target today. This is because we went for a long and arduous walk up Fountains Fell in the Yorkshire Dales. It took six hours of trudging through snow on a very cold day, and according to my pedometer, I walked off 1220 calories!! Some of the food I ate is also a little different to norm because I was eating for energy while out in the fells. You will also notice that I increased the quantities in some cases (compare my breakfast with yesterday's, for example).

Food (calories in brackets):

Breakfast: 200ml fresh orange juice (85), 55g Alpen sugar-free muesli (194) with soya milk (50) and a 20g sprinkling of dried fruit (54)

Lunch: 55g cherry tomatoes (10), 20g stuffed olives (27), 61g yellow pepper (15) and 43g cucumber (4), two small slices of Hovis wheatmeal bread (108), low fat cottage cheese (66) and a small piece of salmon (136). Also, an Alpen low fat cereal bar (59), a small box of raisins (42), and 500ml of sugar-free Ribena (20).

Late afternoon: Five Trebor soft mints (50).

Dinner: Two vegetarian hot dog sausages (135), 36g of wholewheat pasta (118), courgettes (27) and spinach (6). The hot dog sausages are the first thing I've eaten for about 10 weeks that contain a significant proportion of fat (9g)!

Supper: Weight Watchers low fat yoghurt (49).

Total calories for the day = 1255

Drinks (ml in brackets):

Breakfast: Two mugs of tea (600), fresh orange juice (200), milk on cereal (150)
During the day: Sugar-free Ribena (500) and water (500)

After dinner: Mug of tea (300) and glass of Diet Coke (500)
