lockdown

wow sick, erm I generally do all the red bull stuff but it usually really messes you up.

Thoughts on hiring a chef for like 1-3 hours per day? Could be super +ev and means you don't spend energy on cooking and have good food meaning morale is high!

Hi Jam,

I would suggest to consume high protein foods. Go for chicken with rice, its delicious and healthy. Or lentils stew with beef.

I would skip all the fruit juices (even if its freshly squeezed) because it will just drive your blood pressure up and down from all the sugar which is in it. Go for water with freshly squeezed lemon, make a huge bottle and put it in a fridge to cool down. It'll give you some energy.

Evenings, you can eat all sorts of salads, like mozarella with tomatoes (olive oil and vinegar glaze on top) or oven bakes cheese sandwich with cucumbers etc..

Chicken:
- 3-5 chicken breast
- buy those instant rice package (4 in each) and just boil one for each menu
- spice it up with salt/pepper and some roast chicken spices

Beef:
- you can get lentils in a can (with water only) or can buy raw lentils and soak them in water overnight which is healthier but I suppose you don't have time for such
- 1/2 kg beef (for stew cut up already)
- grill the beef for about 2 minutes each side in a pan, add salt and pepper (pressed garlic if you like it) then mix it with lentils and stir it for another 5 minutes and voila you're ready

Lemonade (no sugar)
- cold water
- squeeze 1-2 lemon and mix it

After a long session if you have trouble to fall asleep just make Camilla tea (about 5 min work) and you will insta fall asleep.
- boil 3dl water
- soak tea bag for 2 min
- ready to drink (no sugar)

for snacks you can get grapefruits, full of with C-vitamin and it'll wake you up a bit.

Hope this helps
Ingrid

You could cook some meals yourself and freeze them before.
During the lockdown when you are hungry open the freezer and choose from a selection of delicious home made meals

No junk food, quick and healthy stuff!

EDIT: ofc Ingrid was a lot more useful while I was typing my reply!

I was going to make a big reply but it completely contrasts Ingrids!

It consisted of steak steak steak steak a whole bunch of double stacked oreos and some Dr.Pepper.

The only healthy thing was kippers for breakfast! but they are a bit smelly

This is sick!

I just want to wish you good luck! I would suck giving advice about food!

My day would be like:
Eggs in the morning 4 days long
Bread at lunch
Chili con carne 4 days! I love chili

But do drink enough water! Thats soo important. I tend to not drink enough during the day when I'm inside. But at the end of the day I always have a huge headache then. So water water water. And an empty bottle!

Good luck with your lockdown! And keep us up to date!

Great advice so far guys my plan is generally evolving into cooking 1or2 whole chickens and a large gammon or beef and using that meat for the next 4 days

microwavable rice x4
microwaveable veg mix x4
chicken gravy

2x Bread (for sandwiches obvs)
1x jam
1x milk
2x crunchy nut cornflakes

4x bags of grated mature chedder
1x lettuce
2x cucumber
2x red pepper (if i cut them beforehand and sealed them in 4 seperate bags will they last? mix of cut cucumber pepper and lettuce that is..)
4x small bag of pistachio nuts
4x small bag of cashew nuts
8x yoghurt

4x 1.5l lemon water
4x 500ml water

For emergancies only (when the action is too goot to leave)
8x snickers
2x pringles
4x redbull

While in lockdown i dont wnna washup but ill be using 8x plate 4x bowl 4x spoon 4x knife and 4x fork

lol guys ♦

no, I meant Camomile tea spelled it in Hungarian at first!

basically it should look like this:

Camomile is just known to make you sleepy, relaxed. Just boil a cup of tea amount of water, once its boiling, put the tea bag in the water and let it soak for 2 min then take it out, pour your tea into a mug and drink it slowly while its warm

Chamomile = daisies???

Yes it's a daisy-ish, but not suitable if you are pregnant...jmackenzie?

drinking water is also very important because if you don't then your body gets false signals thinking it's hungry again, which is not true. At those times, you can just drink a glass of water and wait 10 min and you wont be hungry anymore. Basically you should drink 2 glasses of water in every hour, problem is you'll be stuck peeing in the toilet ♦
