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.

Oh my, Antika, your vegetable terrine sounds scrumptious! You too, Jdbcmt. I love that you added fruit to your wrap (sounds like something I'd do - putting fruit in a sandwich). That's why I like coming here, you guys always give me such great ideas for adding variety to my meals.

Breakfast: Parfait (cinnamon apples, raisins and walnuts layered with vanilla yogurt and granola). 

Snack: Handful of almonds

Lunch: Homemade panini (pastrami, cheese, arugula, red onion and spicy mustard), grapefruit salad

Snack: Kashi cherry-dark chocolate granola bar

Dinner: Roast pork with mango-papaya salsa (A single serving cup of diced fruit, cilantro, red onion, jalepeno and a little lime juice), black beans & rice

Dessert: A sugar-free chocolate pudding cup.

wetmosaic:  Thanks!  Saying that I have always enjoyed "strange" flavor combinations would be an understatement.  :-)  I do love to include some type of fruit on my wraps.  It adds that "little something extra," and of course that extra CRUNCH never hurts.  I've recently learned that a sprinkle of roasted sunflower seeds on the wrap also kicks major butt.  I put mandarin oranges in there a lot (well drained, from extra light syrup).  I broke down and bought some of those little mandarin single-serving cups.  A lot of times, I'll put half on my wrap at lunch and the other half on my salad at dinner.  I do the same with the Fruit Naturals red grapefruit cups.  I put both raw apple and cooked pear slices on my wrap yesterday, thinking I wouldn't notice the difference since the two are so similar, but I really did notice the difference in taste and texture.  It was a nice little unexpected treat.  :-)
