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 was really busy and had no appetite cuz i took a double dose of my new ADD pills today (i'm always supposed to take two but i like to keep it to one a day).  How does this kind of eating effect me? Does it set me back because my body will cling to the fat I already have more? Should I have made myself eat something at night to make up for it?  Seriously, i dont starve myself (i love food and i'm 220+ pounds) but i sometimes have these "off" days cuz of my medication and dont know how to handle them (i feel like i should be thankful)... any suggestions?
