Today I got up at around 1 p.m. and got a toasted egg bagel with whitefish salad, spinach, and red onions. YES.

A slice of leftover Christmas Cake and a coffee. Usually I can make that damn cake stretch out until March time.

I WILL!" I love making it but only a quarter of it gets eaten over Christmas usually. I keep threatening to make it smaller but never do

I had shredded wheat before the gym and a croissant after. It's called balance.

Nothing. After the last couple of weeks I need to lose some weight so I'm cutting down on meals. (It doesn't help that the meal I had at a restaurant yesterday was so large I suspect the kitchen overlooked a "serves eight" on the recipe.)
I hope to get back to porridge in a few days.

Peach and pecan museli
1 boiled egg white (I know the yolk contains all the nutrients but the cooked proteins make me unwell)
1 piece frozen mango

Skipping meals all together is a really good way to convince your body that there's a famine on and it needs to cling on to every ounce of fat for dear life. Surely it would make more sense to eat smaller portions of all the usual stuff...
Almond croissant and a cup of tea for me, breakfast of champions!

Bran flakes sprinkled with museli, toast and marmalade, the usual mug of tea.
And then the doorbell strangely rang.....

Surely it would make more sense to eat smaller portions of all the usual stuff... That's what I'd do if I was eating at home, but when eating out you get the portions you're given so I cut down elsewhere. And after being presented with a portion of mash Saturday lunchtime that seemed to have been made from all the potatoes everywhere there was no chance of my body thinking there was a famine.

Years ago I used to love the brioche that were sold by Sainsburys. Then they stopped selling them & I haven't been able to find bearable brioche for, literally, about 2 decades. Then just before Christmas I was in Waitrose & I spotted some brioche that were labelled as burger buns, which looked totally different from the ordinary brioche that tastes horrible to me, so I thought I'd give them a try. Finally I have found brioche that I like again. This makes me ridiculously happy! So I'm now having a brioche for breakfast each day. I can't imagine why they're sold as burger buns though. Why would you eat something slightly sweet with meat?

Why would you eat something slightly sweet with meat? Brioche burger buns are quite common, lots of the 'gourmet' burger places use them. They work really well with burgers. Meat + sweet works, eg relish, chutney, etc. How do you have your breakfast brioche? It makes great French toast.

yes, brioche with savoury flavours is a total joy. Toasted, served with a rich smooth paté. Or, a breakfast of brioche French toast with crispy bacon and maple syrup. Oh yeah.

As I need to get my fibre intake up (owing to the fact that it turns out a large bag of fruit-flavoured Haribo doesn't count as healthy eating) I'm now adding a bowl of All Bran to my usual breakfast bowl of muesli, suitably spaced out so one of them is more of a mid-morning snack.
My fibre intake is now around 40g a day. I'll be so regular I'll be able to find work as a metronome.

Probably best, The Matthew, whilst this new regime continues, to only book shows with an interval. Just imagine the shame if a moderator found himself in the Bad Behaviour thread!

Wholemeal toast with banana.
A second breakfast of two cups of coffee and a large bar of Dairy Milk when I got into the office rather ruined the attempt to be healthy...

Not working today so made a cheese omelette with blue eggs! Yes they are real and sell them in M&S and some wholemeal toast. My usual breakfast on working days is cereal as I dont have time to do anything else plus its 5.30am so needs to be least amount of effort.

Overnight oats. Made with oats, coconut flakes, chia seeds, oatmilk and water but made in a hurry so I messed up the ratios/consistency.
