What did YOU eat today?

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.

Still feeling a wee bit hungry for some strange reason. Seems like I ate plenty today, but my stomach disagrees. Maybe I'll spring for an apple and/or granola bar.

Oh, one more thing- I don't mean to come across as overly-sensitive but . . .

Try to avoid phrases like "shove all that food down my throat." Its a bit discouraging to read when you appear to consume more than the commenter.

If you're having problems, bodily or mental, with intake and upping your cals, take it over to "Health and Support."

Wow, I'm starting to sound like a mod :P
