Foods

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.

Lots and lots of water all through day and evening. 

Breakfast:  Weekly treat, one slice of whole grain toast with 2 tsp crunchy Kraft Peanut butter, glass of oj.

Lunch: Again, treat, fresh onion bun, mustard, low fat ham - 3 slices, lettuce, tomato and glass of vegetable juice (low sodium) with 1 very large dill pickle.

Snack:  Radishes, celery, red and green peppers with homemade low cal dressing.

Dinner: Crockpot beef stew (made yesterday) with onion, peppers (red and green) mushrooms, yellow zucchini, carrots, parsnips, low sodium beef broth, will add tomato before reheating.  Will have wine with dinner.

Snack - either air popped popcorn or ??? and more wine.  Just love Saturdays!

Breakfast-  Small bowl of Cheerios

Lunch - 2 apples

Dinner - Turkey Sandwhich (no mayo)

 

All i drank was an energy drink and lots of water  

I hope this doesn't seem to forward, but I really wish this board was more moderated.

There are still people posting intakes that are well below a healthy amount. For some people this could be triggering.

so please refrain from posting if you are going to post anything below the healthy minimum of 1200 cal for women, and 1500 cal for men.

On that note, here was my day =];

B: Light n' fit yogurt, apple, and some almonds
L: Turkey sandwich on WW bread with spinach and tomato and a kashi granola bar
S: adora chocolate and some tea
D: Salad with all the veggies I please, and some shredded turkey breast for protein, a banana with some plain yogurt
S: mini popcorn bag with my movie date

Yumm!
