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.

Seriously  guys, 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.

Kelly, you have been told this repeatedly.  Especially on this thread, you should not post if you are going to continue starving yourself.  I know it's not really my business, but on my own behalf (coming off of a borderline ED) and the behalf of many others, I feel I should say something.  No matter what anyone says, you keep posting these insanely low-calorie daily menus.  I find it hard to believe that you honestly had no time for breakfast--maybe you're using that as an excuse for starvation.  If you're serious about losing weight, you would eat something for breakfast BESIDES AN APPLE because people who eat breakfast have been CLINICALLY SHOWN to be better able to lose/maintain weight.  Also, I find it very sad that your mother is helping you maintain this starvation lifestyle by preparing you these rabbit food salads.  I don't mean any offense by this--I'm honestly worried about you.  You are too young to be doing this to your body--hell, no one should--but you could stunt your growth and harm yourself this way.  Not to mention, losing weight will be impossible.  Please, get some help in a different way besides posting your starving totals on this thread.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program...

Once again, I am posting a gentle reminder to

PLEASE STOP POSTING CALORIE AMOUNTS AND PORTION SIZES. ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TELLING US WHAT YOU ATE IF YOU DID NOT EAT AT LEAST 1200 CALORIES, UNLESS YOU ARE A LITTLE PERSON OR HAVE AN ACTUAL DIAGNOSED METABOLIC DISORDER AND TRULY NEED LESS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT (this is the only time I will ever mention calories in this thread).

If you were sick and that is why you didn't eat enough, I am very sorry you feel ill, but skip posting your intake for that day. If you have an eating disorder and are trying very hard to recover and eat more, that is wonderful for you, but please do not post your intake here until you ARE actually eating enough - not just trying to.

Also, let's try to stop with the negative commentary. It isn't fun to read a list of what you ate and then see right underneath it something along the lines of "I ATE SOOOO MUCH TODAY UGH" or "TODAY WAS A HORRIBLE DAY". If you aren't happy with your intake, then don't post! No one is forcing you to, k?

Thank-you very much.

B: flax seed plus raisin bran cereal, light plain soymilk, banana
S: fiberfull fruit leather
L: 100% ww bread, vegenaise, lettuce, & tomato, pluot
S: chai tea luna bar
D: salad (lettuce, garden herb potatoes, bell peppers, apple slices, olive oil & balsamic vinegar)
S: raspberry sorbet
