SmarterFitter Daily

This is my attempt to keep a daily food and fitness diary. This isn't Pulitzer-winning writing; these are spontaneous, often hastily written rambles of what I eat, do and learn in my ongoing effort to feel awesome all the time. It may not always be pretty, but at least it's honest. You can find more stories and recipes at SmarterFitter.com.

Bananas, grapes, apples, oats, sunflower seeds, almonds, yogurt, splash of milk.

A brief return to the sweet breakfasts but not for long. All that fruity stuff makes my stomach feel funny.

Bircher Muesli with Toasted Pecans

Bitcher muesli. It's like coming home to an old friend. #breakfast

It's been months since I've had Bircher Muesli. I went off apples for a while after an unfortunate stomach bug. But the apples are back and so is one of my favourite breakfasts.

I made this Bircher as follows:

  1. Soaked the following in enough water to cover overnight: 30g jumbo oats, 8g dried raisins and cherries, 5g flaxseed
  2. In the morning: mixed the above with 1/2 grated apple, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch each of salt and cinnamon
  3. Topped with natural yogurt, sliced bananas and - the best part - toasted pecans

To me this is a perfect and sustaining way to start the day.

Are these measurements rediculous or what?

Mushroom Kale and Feta Omelet

I think this is going to be a really good omelet. #dinnertweet

So good. Enjoyed with a bit of toast, salad and avocado, and a beautiful egremont russet apple for dessert.
