What do you eat during the hot season?

[Nautilus05]

What do you guys eat during the hot season? I've already shed my layer of "winter fat" sort to speak, and don't want to lose any more. I'm hoping my body stops losing though. It's bloody hot though, so alcohol consumption is almost nothing, then it's basically tons of water, juicy fruits (watermelon, oranges, etc.), salads, and things like yogurt. I really don't feel like hanging out in a hot kitchen cooking dinner, proceeded by putting down a plate of steak & potatoes. When it's hot like this, that sounds more agonizing than enjoyable, because clogging your body up like that is no good. If you sit around and eat huge artery clogging dinners all the time, you know you're going to pay for it.

What else is there to eat? Throwing some shrimp, fish, hard boiled eggs or whatever into the salads is always good. Or what do you guys eat during the hot months? Or do you just condemn yourself to 24x7 air-conditioning, and continue eating like you would out West?

Exactly the same varied menu as I eat at any other time of the year.

[HeavyDrinker]

Breakfast tends to be fruit, then lunch more fruit and a ham/cheese omelette with rice, supper/dinner usually Thai food. Neither of us has much of an appetite in this heat...

One drawback at this time of year is that I don't get out walking every day after the missus warned me against it.

Just popped a cottage pie in the oven.

[kannot]

i dont eat when its hot but can drink 3-4 litres of anything per day, eating when hot leaves me bloated.

[David48]

Mangoes have recently ripened at the Farm ... delicious as a snack by themselves or with some rice to finish a meal.

I prefer them on their top myself.

When is the hot season?

Never seen the need for aircon.

[Ulysses G.]

The same as the rest of the year, but some fruit is better and cheaper at this time of year. It won't be too long until that includes durian which is too expensive most of the time.

[PaullyW]

I tend to eat a lot of p@ssy or try to at least

[Mentors]

I have stopped to drink beer.

[nickmanchester2]

same as any other time of the year.

Oats with milk or toast and a coffee for breakfast

Some kind of hot meal at night time last night thai green chicken curry I made myself other stuff I made includes, hummus for snacks with carrots/cucumber, chickpea burgers, thai sweet basil pesto and pasta, indian chicken curry with rice, sausage and mash, horrible 'john dory' fish and chips... anything I can make in 1 pot as no oven.

I have stopped drinking beer, but this is just to try and lose weight, not because of it being too hot.

I tend to eat same variety of meals all year round Western & Thai , just eating smaller meals in hotter times, also have on the menu same as Paully W )((:

[Marcel1]

Just eat the same as whole year around, I really love Thai food and Thai cooking so I eat mostly 1 time per week western food. With Thai food we make already big variations as me and the missus both love cooking and eating (don't worry 75kg here but I also eat about 4-5 times a day mostly healthy food.

The best thing here is the fruit because with every new season there are new fruits coming in again which is a great thing. Mango's a 30 B for 2 kg's and I even found the first lynchees last week at 50 b a kilo...

[mrfaroukh]

You are lucky to be table to loose weight. I drink lots of water, fruits, and mostly protein (chicken, fish, egg) but this heat had no effect on me. I also gym almost everyday for couple of hours plus other activities.

[slipperylobster]

in Udon, Ice Cubes.

[shaurene]

I mix breakfast, will have 2 soft boiled eggs and couple rounds toast and maybe some fruit or bowl corn flakes with low fat milk. The evening a salad and fruit. But the thing is it is so hot your body does not get hungry as much.

Chopped up pineapple and passionfruit pulp are also very good frozen on a hot day.

eh?!

get out the same as any other season, stay in the shade, wear a hat and drink lots of water. exercise,appropriate to the weather, is good for the body and mind. and its cooler in the mornings and evenings.
