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.

Hi

They will only let me send two emails. PoohB was kind enough to give us her thoughts.

Here it is as I cut and paste.

Heavycyclist:

People have different opinions on the proportions.  This is what I have seen in general:

50% carbs
25% fats
25% protein

Some say more protein, less fat, many say more carbs are okay... but I don't think the website has provided recommendations.

I know Sodium recommendation is 2400 grams a day, and fiber is recommended at 25 grams a day.

Hope that helps!


By the way hope you don't mind, you are the first name on my friends list.

heavycyclist,

You can find out on these Gov. sites:
