My healthy eating, summer ready diet!

Hello my beauties,
I don't know about where you are, but here in Brighton the sun seems to have dissappeared! What a tease - giving us all that sun then cruely snatching it away! :( Nevermind... it means I have a little while longer to shed a few pounds and get a lot healthier by the time I have to be rockin' a bikini!

By no means do I know a lot about food or nutrition but I thought I'd just show you guys the type of things I eat to try and get summer ready :)

Breakfast

- 1/2 pink grapefruit with a very tiny sprinkle of sweetner

- 1 slice of wholemeal toast with low fat peanut butter

- small bowl of porridge w/ berries or a dash of honey

- scrambled eggs (2) w/ a grilled tomato and lots of pepper

Lunch

- medium jacket potato with low fat cream cheese & chives

- tuna salad in a wholemeal pitta bread

- small ammount of pesto pasta with a side of salad

- large chicken salad with no dressing

Dinner

- wholemeal pasta salad with feta cheese

- grilled salmon with a bunch of veg, no potatoes

- chicken rice and peas made with brown rice

- vegetable omlette with a sprinkle of cheese/bacon if I'm feeling naughty ;)

Snacks

- vegetable sticks/wholemeal pitta with hummus

- peice of fruit/homemade fruit salad

- milky way chocolate bar

- packet of quavers crisps

I don't have a very big sweet tooth, so I don't struggle with cutting out chocolates or sweets. However what I do struggle with is... the dreaded carbs!! I like my potatoes and I love my bread! But what I try not to do is say that I can't have it ever - that makes me want it even more. So I make sure the carbs I do eat, are things like wholemeal bread and brown rice. Don't make things banned for yourself, because then you feel like you've 'fallen off the wagon'.

Healthy eating doesn't have to be boring... you just have to find some healthy meals that you enjoy eating and cooking and voila! Plus... look how colourful it is! You won't miss a lot :)
