What did YOU eat today? ilisa
  Mar 15 2007 21:43
Don't list the calories, don't list the exercise, don't list portion sizes.

None of those pesky numbers, since we all are different.

One person can need 1400 a day, while another can need 2,500, and it can be really triggering to see someone ate a lower number than yourself.

Therefore, just list the food you ate. This will help us understand the value of eating healthy food (for the nutrients), while also indulging moderately in empty calories when we want. I don't know about you, but I'm aiming for 90% healthy foods - and 10% empty calories. ;)

Also, do not post here if you are starving yourself. I'm not interested in the details, it is only going to get others riled up, and it is triggering to those of us trying to recover from an eating disorder. Okay, thank-you.


Here's me for today:

Breakfast: slept far too late
Lunch: sandwich (100% whole wheat bread, garden burger veggie medley patty, soy dijon "mayo", pickle, lettuce), dried apricots, diet soda, tums, vitamin
Snack: apple, no salt added raw almond butter
Dinner: corn, bell peppers, sugar-snap peas, lettuce, firm tofu, soy dressing, tums
Snack: soy delicious peanut butter zig zag! yumm.

Breakfast:  Raisin bran w/ milk, blueberry cereal bar, and water.

Lunch:  Smartfood popcorn (1/2 cup?  Not much), a few cheese puff balls (5 or 6), some cheez-its (12), hamburger w/ cheese and onion, hot dog w/ ketchup, oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookie, and a piece of carrot cake with really bad frosting (2 x 4 x 3 inches, double-layered).  1 and 1/2 cups of rasberry lemonade or so, then water.

Dinner:  1 cup of a pesto pasta dish with some cheese.  Water.  Had about 1 and 1/2 cups of ice cream afterwards.

Eh, although we took the kids to a park today for a while, I don't think we were moving fast enough to work off many of the extra calories consumed today.  Going to get back on track tomorrow. :D
#528 mooo87 Jun 17 2007 04:29
brunch: waffle with I can't believe it's not butter! (haha) and maple syrup, coffee with skim milk, fruit salad with banana, apricot and pineapple, bacon.

dinner: egg whites scrambled with garlic, onion, eggplant, broccoli, zucchini and tomato with creole mustard for dipping and an apple.

I got up extra late today, plus I REALLY over-indulged last night (think: binged) so I was having a horrible guilt trip, especially after I also had bacon for brunch!

#539 xxstephxx Jun 19 2007 17:46
I haven't eaten yet today, only been up for an hour or so.

But yesterday consisted of...

Breakfast: Skipped it. :/

Lunch: A fettucine alfredo Lean Gourmet and a slice of lite wheat bread with nonfat I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. (In this case you definitely believe it, lol)

And Dinner my boyfriend and I went to Potbelly's. It's all in the name. :X I got the chicken salad on wheat without extra mayo, ate about 3/4 of it. I came home and looked at nutrition facts and realized that the chicken salad had just as much if not more than some of the other seemingly more fattening sandwiches. The Pizza Sub, The "Wreck" that my boyfriend got and so on... Why was I under the impression chicken salad was healthy? heh Anyway, I had a 100 calorie pack of Sunchips with that and half a pickle.

Snack: Little packet of Welch's dried Tropical Fruit and about 3 cans of Diet Peach Wedge soda throughout the day. Ohh I'm such a sucker for artificial sweeteners. :(

I just joined yesterday, and I feel like this should be pretty helpful in motivating me, it's interesting to see what others are eating and doing and such.
