Scientific research into the diet of riders!

[Agent XXX999]

No, in the interest of science, and the fact that I am always arguing with YO that people who have

with horses seem to be very fussed about what their horses eat but not what they eat – I would like to know what you are all having for lunch!

I have just had a sandwich and fruit salad, however YO has just spoken to me and informed me she has had an iced bun and 3 digestives….I don’t know how she keeps going (seems to be on a diet of tea and cigarettes…..)

Sooooo answers on a postcard please!

 

[Jemayni]

I have just had a rather disusting, mayonaise full salad from the work cafeteria, this is why I dont usually work the day shift!

 

[flyingfeet]

Tesco sushi pack, copious amounts of diet coke... oh and err I bought a tube of trebor soft fruits....

 

[frannieuk]

Ryvitas and cheese, but only because there's nothing else in the house lol

 

[Tierra]

Haha

We had this discussion at the yard last night.

We put so much time and effort into perfecting the diets of our four legged friends. Our YO tweaks everything to perfection for them and our feed room is like a feed shop.

Yet we seem to spend all day drinking tea and nibbling on biscuits and occasionally, sending someone to the chip shop

Most of us are competing at pretty high levels in dressage and are useless at looking after our own diets :*(

Today I have just had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich and an apple, but yesterday I had a chocolate brownie and 2 chocolate hobnobs, and when I got home I had marshmellows

 

[the watcher]

I live on unhealthy sandwiches, my horses are much more nutritionally balanced than me

 

[Bess]

Baked potato with chilli, two hobnobs and a cup of tea.

 

[Nic]

Carrots & humous, chicken salad & an almond slice (exactly what I had yesterday too!) and a cuppa.

 

[KatB]

Houmous in pitta bread, salad leaves

On a diet....

 

[H-J]

B****!!

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Coffee, coffeee & more coffee (did have a sausage sandwich for breakfast though).

 

[SouthWestWhippet]

It is so true LOL while I'm working at the yard I subside almost entirely on big bags of Haribo sweets and coca cola.

However for lunch today I had
Apple
Plum
Nectarine
Sharon Fruit
2 crumpets
Bag of crisps.
(ETA also about 3 cups of coffee)

I think this is pretty healthy of me so I'm feeling smug.

 

[Pasha]

I had a chesse, ham and salad roll (granary) & a packet of slat & vinegar crisps.... usual lunch for me.

 

[ladylisa]

Baked potato with cheese and beans, and salad.

 

[Bright_Spark]

I had a ceral bar, cookies & cuppa tea for brekkie (my normal).

Just polished off a toasted cheese, marmite and peanut butter sarnie for lunch.

I tend to live on tea & biscuits at the yard. I figure they help keep me warm lol. My OH makes me a packed lunch too because otherwise I wont bother to eat.

 

[AmyMay]

I've just eaten TWO fudge bars, and feel very guilty

What the hell!

 

[Fransurrey]

My lunch was a banana, two oranges and a hot cross bun (without butter). That's unhealthy for me - my lunch is normally fruit only. This is because I can't be arrsed in the mornings! Sometimes I have left-overs from cooking, but tis all home made, so I is a temple, innit!

 

[lizzie_liz]

ham sandwich on brown bread, still hungry but at sat at uni writing out lectures!! well that is what i meant to be doing!!

 

[magic104]

Whole grain rice & maya

 

[UKa]

during the working day in the office I usually have a bowl of leftovers from last night's dinner; at the weekend I used to have breakfast and then go all day til dinner but while I am pregnant at the moment eating habits have changed and I usually now share an apple or two with the horse while at the yard

I also can easily eat a chocolate bar or two each day luckily without putting on weight ...

 

[XmisshorsestyleX]

Houmous and Cucumber sandwich on malted bread.
2 Plums
1 Biscuit
Apple

Im one of those who can eat crap all day long without putting weight on. But i tend to try and eat healthily, except around the horses.. then its a different story

 

[cosmo_sam]

A healthy one today as my hubby is home and cooked it!

Baxters chicken and veg soup, thick cut ham and french bread

Yummmmmm

 

[summertoots]

sausage roll, wotsits and tea.

 

[foraday]

We have a tuck shop at our yard! Cuppa soups, crisps, diet cokes, orange juices, cereal bars and loads of chocolate!!!! Seems to fly off the shelves!!!!

 

[Agent XXX999]

. Goodness some of you are quite healthy! I eat well Monday to Friday but from Friday night it all goes very much down to the depths of Jamie Oliver PANIC mode – last weekend I ate a packet of cheddars on Saturday, and a post night out bacon sandwich and a Chinese on Sunday, washed down with quite an embarrassing amount of Vodka and tonic.

 

[BBs]

Its true!
When I worked with horses full time and swam at county i was stick thin, could eat what the bugger i wanted.
Now i sit in an office all day and stuff rubbish - today for instance, salmon terrine and crusty bread followed by grapefruit juice and chocolate.
No wonder im the size i am - really must stop it. mind you, i do have 4 to muck out adn 2 to ride daily!
A few years ago i went on a diet of vit drinks etc and lost nearly 2 stone! bit like slim fast - i got into it when they thses ppl were at a horse trials and doing a survey about riders and their eating habits.
Was interesting and worth doing - but was expensive.
Im crap tbh and have no will power!
