I started the day with, in addition to my RealAge ritual of two brazil nuts, two prunes and five dates (selenium, fibre, something else good), a couple of poached eggs on a multigrain muffin with raw baby spinach. And, I must acknowledge a generous teaspoon of Neil Perry's garlic aioli - it was well worth the 5.2g of fat, even if that brought my total fat intake to 59g for the day that's still within the recommendation of under 70g/day, and my saturated intake was 2/3 of the recommended 24g maximum.
I had lunch in Camberwell with my mother, which had the potential to be ugly but was instead alarmingly civilised. As I ate out I had to estimate my intake, and I'm sure it was higher in fat and calories than I've estimated, because that's the nature of restaurant food. I ordered a delicious rocket, feta and beetroot salad that was dressed with pomegranate molasses and topped with about a dozen toasted almonds. I would have been fine without dessert, but my motehr was uncharacteristically interested in one, and then quite insistent that I share. I don't want to discuss weight loss with her, so I ate a little of the pear tart (just the pear, which was poached) and about half a tablespoon of the hazelnut icecream.
Dinner was two kangaroo sausages (I cooked the whole package and will snack on some over the weekend), steamed sweet potato with peas, and a salad of leaves, capsicum, tomato and avocado dressed with balsamic.
I walked for forty minutes at 6k/hour, and will be picking up the exercise in the next day or two. - Alex
