What I Eat In a Day #4: Paris Edition

Hi all!

I think you have the same problem I have: being obsessed with”What I eat in a day” posts. Seriously, has it been declared a mental condition yet? I find myself watching YouTube videos of people telling for a full hour what they eat and prepared in a day.

I find it fascinating, especially when it’s people from all around the world. I’ve discovered recipes, foods and spices I’ve never heard about this way.

As those posts are the most popular on the blog, I feel this is fair for me to give back and share another day of eating, the French way.

Here is a reminder of my commitment to you regarding my “What I Eat in a Day” posts, I will:

• share everything that I ate for the day (including the chocolate, pastries and “carpe-diem” meals)
• include full recipes as much as possible (if homemade)
• try to tell you my opinion about my day of eating (was it balanced ? if not, what will I do to compensate on the next day ?)

This was a nice day of eating, I had my daily dose of chocolate and my daily dose of soup. In winter, starter is always a soup (gets the vegetables in!). When the days get warmer, I abandon soup for crudités (raw veggies) or for gazpacho (cold Spanish soup, delicious!).

This was a work day, so my only exercise was walking to work (did I tell you that my new office was close to Opéra Garnier? Sooo nice to walk there).

I did not have to time (envy?) to prepare my lunch the evening before, so I stop by Prêt-à-Manger (A British brand with a French name?) at noon. Their salads, wraps and soups are delicious and they try to do seasonal and fresh ingredients.

To conclude, a great day of eating, I was reasonable but still enjoyed my day of eating!
