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.

organic low fat sour cream to go with raw veggies.

you can even try to marinade the veggies and eat them tandoori style. Mix 3 tsp fat free yogurt, 1 tsp of oil, cayenne pepper, salt, cumin powder, lemon juice. make sure the marinade is watery enough to drain... marinade veggies like firm cottage cheese or extra firm tofu, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, baby corn for 30 minutes... and bake in the oven for half hour... all veggies should be cut in cubes... you could use a skewer and grill them or bake them...

I am STUFFED....but still under...

I'm tying to find something new to have for breakfast. Everyday I have oatmeal or cream of wheat and although it's good it get's boring. :P

Breakfast
Oatmeal (some chopped apple, cinnamon, skim milk)

Lunch
Pear

Supper
1/2 chicken breast wrap with cucumber, mushroom, and cabbage. (Yum! I actually ran out of lettuce and used cabbage instead.)
Steamed broccoli

mischa you could try adding different things to the oatmeal like making it into chocolate oatmeal using cocoa powder and sugar or sweatener - thats yummy or adding peanut butter also another of my favourates, that way breakfast is still quick and easy but you have a different taste. You could try Weetabix with yogurt or milk, adding fruit, nuts anything you want really, its nice with butter and jam as well although it can be alittle dry that way.

Breakfast:  Fiber One Cereal and a cup of coffe

Snack:  Mott's Applesauce - no sugar added

Lunch:  Celery and a yummy spinach salad with mushrooms, onions, peppers and tomatoes with mustard dressing

So far...

Coffee with sugar-free flavored creamer
Caramel Nut Brownie Luna Bar
Caramel Corn rice cake
Veggie Wrap (only hummus, tofu, and cucumber today)
Cottage Cheese
Diet Pepsi

I still have an apple in my goodie bag, and I think I'll make Quorn tacos for dinner.
