Day 3 Diary and Food-Porn

I started my day with a walk to the beach and back. While at the beach I performed a series of stretches. By the time I was walking back it was about 8:30am and very hot. I was pouring with sweat. It was an hour of walking and I burnt approximately 450 calories.

After I cooled down I was very hungry so made my favourite breakfast. I shared my newly acquired brunch obsession on facebook a while aback and got some comments on how bad it is for me. I really don't get it?

Breakky: Burgen Rye, 1 farm egg, 2 shortcut bacon slices, 1 tomato, 1 mushroom, parsley

•  According to Calorie King this breakfast was 340 calories.
•  It contains 2 servings of protein, 1 serving of complex carbs and 1-2 servings of veges ( I have been including spinach as well so it would be 2 serves).
• I do not use any oil. Half the time I don't include the bacon. When I do, the bacon is short-cut rindless and has a bit of fat. The bacon and mushroom come from my freezer and a fair bit of water comes out of them as they cook and this is just enough for it to 'fry'.
• It has far superior nutrition, enzymes, vitamins, minerals then a bowl of sugary cereal or a powdered high sugar/chemical protein shake. 

So I am happy with my brunch. Although I was very tempted to make it again for about and hour afterwards as I am not used to making reasonable sized portions. I quickly loaded the photo and kept looking at it all morning, admiring it's yumminess and remembering the sensation. Then I realised it was "food porn". Yes, this blog is creating food porn just for me. But hey if admiring a photograph stops me from getting up and making more, job done. 

My darling cat can't stand how much attention my computer gets and must interfere.

Lunch: Half a sandwich, cheese, salad, balsamic vinegar... followed by scoffing 2 candy canes

Snack: Gouda cheese and a nectarine

The ingredients to make chicken and corn patties

Dinner: 3 Chicken & corn patties, fried zucchini & lettuce

Calorie King take your exercise calories off your food calories so I ate more than this. Whoops on the 59% fat intake. It was the full-fat Gouda cheese and I put in 3 tablespoons of oil as dinner was fried.
