Feel good & fruity food

I ain't surprising anyone writing about healthy food after a goodie marathon. I am pleased that my work offers free fruits every day till 5th December. I've tried to keep a rough food diary for a couple of weeks mainly to see if I can reach some of the basic nutrition instructions. I'm happy to notice there's at least one fruit a day and greens almost every day. That is pretty much covered, I will only take it to the next level and take two fruits a day and greens (some raw salad / tomatoes / cucumber / carrot / capsicum / etc.) every day. I also take vitamins and calcium as food supplement every morning, magnesium only when I workout really hard. The other basic thing about nutrition that I keep in mind is protein. Only two things on my mind and still I'm lacking on both. On veggies side it's pretty OK now, I just need to bring a little more in. But protein is on a low level. Some days I've taken care of it really well: chicken, protein milkshake, cheese. Some days meals have barely any protein in them: only a little yogurt and cheese which both have low protein level.




I kinda hate talking about nutrition and especially protein: it makes me feel all manly or fitness life style -stuff. But there's a reason why people suddenly start talking about those things. It's a fact our bodies as well as our muscles need protein. Also I wrote about my stomach pains(go there!) earlier in the autumn and that's another reason for trying to keep it healthy. To be honest I'm such a loser in that point of view. Many days I reward myself with pie, ice cream, liquorice, chocolate. I just try not to eat too much of it, I could never totally give my treats up. Once a day a little doesn't hurt if you exercise enough, but too much for many days in a row makes me hurt. I'm there once again! And trying to save myself with fruits and protein.

Task of the week: get my protein level up, have at least two fruits a day and salad every day. How hard can it be?

Todays lunch: avocado pasta, capsicum, carrot and a pear
