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.

Ugh, I am exiled to a hotel room for the rest of the week while the landlord tears up my bathroom to replace the floor.  Continental breakfast is the devil!

Breakfast - 1 slice whole wheat toast with cream cheese spread.  A small bowl of cheerios and a banana.  Glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee, with sugar and cream.  I miss my psyllium!

Snack - slice of homemade brown rice bread ... yum.

Lunch - black bean soup with kale, topped with shredded cheddar cheese.  thank goodness for leftovers.

Dinner - sneaking back home to the kitchen to make a broccoli-tofu scram ... like a frittata, but no eggs.

#105 taintmesweet Mar 22 2007 00:54
Delve_deeper, you may want to try eating more substantial foods for breakfast in the morning. You're not consuming nearly enough calories early enough in your day. Your body needs the metabolism boost for the day.
This *should* curb the afternoon munchies and allow you to eat a real dinner.


As for my menu today:

breakfast- special K w/red berries and 1/2 banana(my dog has to have the other 1/2..)

lunch- ham & cheese Lean Pocket, 1 pear

snack- 100 cal oreo crisp packet

dinner- 1/3 bag Lean Cuisine chicken teryaki

snack- nectorine & low fat string cheese

My day has been messed up because I had to work the night shift at the hospital last night.

Before I left work at 8am I ate oatmeal with 2% milk (can't get used to the 1% or skim)

About 2pm after sleeping, I ate a mini bagel with low fat cream cheese.

Tonight for supper I had a bowl of brown rice with crumbles ground chuck and chopped broccoli. For dessert I ate lowfat cottage cheese and jello.  
#116 ilisa Mar 22 2007 23:50
Remember guys, no portions! I am seeing a lot of numbers and serving size amounts here. Since everyone is different and everyone requires a different calorie intake, the numbers are not a good thing to have posted here.

We won't think that you are eating too much OR too little if you don't use portions/numbers..you are eating what is good for your body, not for ours.


For instance, we should be saying "oatmeal" without saying "1 packet of".

Thank-you!
