Do Your Eating Habits Change During The Hot Weather?

[Baby_Sham]

I tend to eat really healthy when the weather is like this. I practically live on salads, with the occasional BBQ thrown in for good measure.

However, this evening I am cooking.... wait for it.... a ROAST!!! :-/

[boxtops]

I'm not as hungry when it's hot, but I do find I have an inexplicable longing for chocolate, I've noticed it for years. Very odd.

[coccinelle]

Yes, I find I'm eating a lot less and just drinking fluids mainly and nibbling on fruit.

room for a guest diner? i can bring a good bottle of wine

[andy-hughes]

I eat the same, just less of it, and occasionally have some cereal in lieu of a meal.

[ummmm]

Yes. I don't eat much in the evenings.

[Baby_Sham]

I did think the majority would say yes, they eat less. It's the BBQ's that ruin it all for me. I do so well during the week, and then the weekends come and there's always someone firing up the barbie. Before I know it I'm guzzling pints of Pimms and munching on a sausage or two!

Excel, sure. I'll get the emergency chairs out.

We do eat more salady stuff when it's hot, not because that's what I fancy but because I don't want to put the oven on to make a shepherds pie.

I eat a lot less during hot weather, however, just because I suddenly have a craving for it, tonight I'm having chilli con carne.

[ummmm]

And we're having a fry up :-)

Only because I have all the ingredients and it's too hot to walk to the shops..

[rockyracoon]

Ooh fry up, can I come? I've got salad.....again!

[Baby_Sham]

I only ever feel like eating at around 10pm, when it starts cooling off. Ooh, a fry up would be lush actually!

I would have to dollop some soured cream on top of that chilli :)

[tamborine]

I forgot to eat y'day and still not hungry but drinking a lot

[ummmm]

You're welcome Rocky. I'm not going to apologise in advance though ;-)

[rockyracoon]

Lol, I think you apologise enough. Mind you, isn't it all your fault? ;-)

[ummmm]

lol...

[fraser]

eating the same and drinking whether its hot or not!!!

[EcclesCake]

I think I go lighter food that doesn't require loads of effort and attention when the weather is hot.

At the weekend we had roast chicken with dressed new pots and a couple of veg side dishes and since then it has been different salads each night.

I might do some fajitas or tandoori wraps on Friday and serve with different salsa/chutney/salad accompaniments.

I'd happily go for the chilli though especially with some lovely guacamole!

[ummmm]

We have to eat earlier. With OH working outside all day he comes in knackered.
