What I ate yesterday

Laura Bailey – model


Breakfast I never miss breakfast! I had some cereal
and fruit, and a piece of toast. I’m a bit
unusual because I have tea and coffee in the
morning. I don’t mind in which order, but I
need to have both.

Lunch 
I was at my studio all day, so I got takeaway
vegetarian sushi from a restaurant called
Itsu. I became a vegetarian 20 years ago and
now I can’t imagine living any other way.

Dinner 
I picked up my children from school and
we had a snack – cheese and biscuits. In
the evening I went to my favourite pizzeria,
and I had a vegetarian pasta dish, and two
glasses of white wine.

Breakfast I woke up and went running for an hour


and a half, then I came home and had a
cup of tea and some porridge. Then I went
to the gym and trained.

Lunch 
I had a bowl of pasta with chorizo and
bacon in tomato sauce with cheese on
top, and an apple and an orange. I have
an important fight soon, so my diet has to
be very strict now. Three meals a day, and
no snacks.

Dinner 
I had a grilled chicken breast and
vegetables – mushrooms, sweetcorn
and tomatoes. My mum made it – she’s a
fantastic cook.

Breakfast I had an enormous cup of espresso coffee
with some milk and a little cream. It’s all
that I need and gives me energy for the
whole day.

Lunch 
I don’t eat lunch. I don’t understand people
who can eat three meals a day. How do
they find the time to do anything else?

Dinner 
First I had a glass of sherry and a bowl
of popcorn. Then I had grilled fish with
some brown rice and vegetables – peppers
and onions. For dessert I had a piece of
chocolate cake. I drank red wine.

sushi – a typical Japanese dish made with rice


porridge – hot cooked cereal which British
people often have for breakfast
