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.

I'm just started the 6meal/day plan after lunch yesterday and I'm feeling better already:)

Breakfast (before workout) fat free no added sugar Yoplait Yogurt Strawberry--yummy, protein shake (WILL NOT TRY again--gave me a very bad tummyache, maybe I need a different kind or something? but I will get some almond or peanut butter. I have IBS so i need to be careful with artificial sweetners and the yogurt already has that), fig newtons

Snack-banana

lunch-I live with my very busy family. for various reasons, most meals are eaten out or takeout, with not very much time to go buy groceries. At home lunch is usually a lean turkey sandwich (turkey+wheat bread).  My dad did get a bread with added protein:D Sounds a bit strange, but I don't care how it tastes--as long as I can swallow it all food will turn to crap later.

I've been trying to find a low sugar/no fat/low cal ice cream bar or sandwich to satisfy my sweet tooth, any suggestions? I would prefer something that tastes at least somewhat like the real ice cream.

Thanks, oh and my name is Evan.  nice topic, great plans!
