Young Calorie Counters

I'm kind of copying the oh so popular topic found in the food forum. This is different, though: for teens! I think it's pretty interesting to see what we teenagers eat, and this will kind of give the chance for teens to see what other healthy foods they can add to their diet.. I sure know that my diet needs improvement XD

Oh, and the same rules as the one in the other forum applies.. especially do not post if you are not eating enough. Nobody wants to see it, and you're only hurting yourself in the long run; believe me, I found out the hard way.

I'll start!
breakfast: cheerios, a yogurt, & and orange
lunch: a turkey sandwich (i love low carb bread! really.) an apple, another yogurt, &wheat thins
after school: a peanut butter sandwhich on whole grain & an orange
dinner: probably light soup & a salad or something!

don't be shy XD

So if you can't tell... I have a very limited amount of food in my apartment. Mainly fruits and vegetables. It's pretty boring way to eat.. but at least I'm eating tons of healthy food:

Breakfast: Baby carrots, an apple, half of a banana, some raisin

Lunch: Broccoli, baby carrots, an apple, two bananas, blueberries and raisins

Dinner: Large salad with romaine, spinach, bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, onion, pickle and apple slices

Snack: Raw sunflower seed

Breakfast: Oatmeal (Steel-cut oats, skim milk) with a large, very ripe banana and a ounce of raw almonds.

Lunch: 1 cup of GoLean cereal with 8 ounces of skim milk, 1 honey tangerine.

Snack: Probably...Kashi granola bar, some kind of fruit....and im sure i will involve peanut butter here somehow!

Dinner: Three-bean chili(vegetarian, homemade) 1 slice of homemade whole-grain cornbread, and a spinach salad with carrot, tomatoe, cucumber, chickpeas, and all-natural balsamic dressing .

Breakfast: Cherrios with semi skimmed milk

Lunch: Rasin bread with margarine, pear, frusli bar, two oat cakes, muller light yoghurt

Snack: One hobnob biscuit

I'm sure if you asked at a store they would know where they were, I havent checked at a regular grocery store, but im sure they would have them.

yesterday I had:

breakfast: 1/2 cup corn pops, 1/2 cup cap n' crunch, 1 cup vanilla rice krispies

snack: 1/2 banana with peanut butter and gronola, 1 apple frozen juice box

lunch: grilled chicken sub with mustard, cucumbers, carrots, cheese, lettuce, tomato and green peppers. (from subway soo good!)

dinner: 1/2 cup cottage cheese with maple flakes and mixed nuts, 1 cup pc organic wheat squares, activia yogurt

snack: apple, strawberries, blueberries, vanilla pomegrante yogurt

soooooooooooo, turns out I was being a little optimistic to think I could gain on 1500 cals a day! I lost 0.8lb this week! Oops!! Trying to move it up slowly, starting with 200 more cals a day- does that sound ok? (18, 5ft 6, 84.6lb)

Breakfast: homemade raspberry muffin

Snack: Ensure plus

Lunch: 3 ryvita crackers with hoummous, light choc and vanilla mousse

Snack: Ensure plus

Supper: Chilli con carne with rice (mainly beans not mince), 1/3 cup strawberries

Snack: Options hot chocolate made with 200ml semi-skimmed milk

headingup- My honest opinion? You should move up to 2000 calories tomorrow. You're 18 years old and serverly underweight, so you really shouldn't be eating less than that for a minute longer. I know that adding one third of your current intake seems outragous, but you need it for recovery. Your body needs plenty of nutrients to gain not only weight, but also to recover/strengthen organs, rebuild lost muscle mass, regrow lost hair, adjust your metabolism, and just plain make you function better! There is something deserately wrong if you gain on 1700 a day--you're still developing until 21!

This will get tons easier if you simply get it over with; don't drag on with moving upward; you are at way too dangourous of a place to do that. Beleive me, when I was around your BMI and finally begining to increase my intake, I collapsed on the floor from dehydration and exustion with a completely screwed up body. I don't want ANYONE else to havetogo through that; I nearly died, and when I didn't, I basically had no life for 3 months while I was on bedrest in the hosptial. Moving upward by 400-500 calories a day shouldn't result in refeeding syndrome.  

I am wishing the best for you! You're doing well so far!:]

 

Edit: Post number 1,000! Haha...I'm such a dork. xD
