30 Day Food Diary Challenge - Day Six

Breakfast

• Sourdough soaked pancakes. Normally these would be buttermilk soaked but we were out of buttermilk (and plain yoghurt which would be my alternative) so I soaked the mixture overnight with regular milk and a tablespoon of sourdough starter.
• Orange juice
• Tea

Lunch

• Bangers n mash with red onion gravy and peas and carrots. (I rather over catered in terms of peas and carrots on Friday when we had a friend round so we've been using them up ever since.)
• Strawberry with cream
• 30g dark chocolate
• Orange juice
• Tea

Dinner

• Pate on toast
• Orange juice
• Kombucha
• Tea

A fairly low iron figure again despite one of my meals being pate on toast. This is partly down to laziness and not having made some more fruit/nut/chocolate mix but this has now been done so my iron consumption should improve. (Although since I'm on iron capsules at the moment, the iron I consume through food is probably a moot point really.) I do find it suprising though how hard it is to keep iron consumption high - if I wasn't anaemic I would think the figures were set too high.

Tomorrow (which is actually today because I'm writing this on Monday) will be day seven so I will be able to do averages for the first week.
