Being that we are familiar with those benefits of food listed above, I will share my food diary for 22nd of November 2024 for the three square meals of the day;

| Breakfast: Beans and plantain |

Skipping breakfast is like missing a treasure in the ocean that cannot be recovered. Breakfast fuels, lighten up and control our mood for the day. Breakfast is the easiest meal for me to plan, waking up, I already figured out what to prepare so I went to the kitchen to boil ripe plantain to accompany the leftover jollof beans at home.
Breakfast
When the plantain was well cooked, I served it with jollof beans and it was delicious as seen.
| Lunch: Tea and Bread |

At noon, I was extremely busy with work and couldn't sacrifice 10 minutes of my time to cook a fresh meal so I decided to just boil a cup of water for tea. I mixed chocolate and milk in a warm water and ate with few slices of bread. It was satisfying and faster to prepare.
Lunch
| Dinner: Watermelon and Apple |

After having lunch at noon, I stepped out for hair delivery and purchasing of hair tools for my business. I was exhausted from those activities so I decided to purchase fruits on my way home. Reaching home, I wasn't hungry for heavy foods so I took fruits for dinner ( apple and watermelon).
Dinner
This was how my day went with these healthy meals served for breakfast, lunch and dinner on 22-11-2024. Thank you!
