Food Philosophy: Like
most dietitians I love food! I feel like Michael Pollen sums up the best
dietary advice perfectly, “Eat food, mostly plants, not too much”.
6am Rolled
oats made with low fat soy milk and topped with stewed pear and cinnamon. Oats
are definitely my favourite thing for breakfast, they keep me feeling full
longer than anything else and I love the sweetness of stewed fruit and
cinnamon. I usually top this with LSA but didn’t have any left in the pantry
today!
10.30am 1 banana
12pm
Salad made with locally grown lettuce, grated carrot, ½ can
kidney beans and fetta. Topped with a splash of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
3pm 1
small skim milk hot chocolate. This is a treat I have once or twice a week when
I have had a stressful morning and need something to get me through the
afternoon. I think that it’s the walk from my office to the café that actually
does the most to clear my head.
6pm Smoked
salmon and avocado rice paper rolls. I was leaving straight after work to drive
down the coast for the weekend. Usually I would prepare a sandwich to take for
the trip, but I didn’t have time this week. Instead I opted to grab some rice
paper rolls on my way home which saved me from getting stuck on the road with
Macdonalds or KFC as my only options. I follow this with 1
white chocolate and berry scone from Bakers Delight. A sweet treat for the long
car trip down the coast.
