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.

whats with the anorexic person above =S  anyway wows this thread goes on forever

Girlywhirly I was going to say, "Water doesn't count as a meal."

i just woke up at 11, so so far only-

breakfast: light multigrain english muffin with laughing cow light swiss and 2 pieces of jennie-o turkey bacon, and a handful of grapes. (i also pulled off a small piece of my mom's cinnamon bun- shh! lol i need the extra cals anyway)

i think for lunch i'm gonna have a veggie quesadilla & dinner is spaghetti squash with turkey meatballs.

I haven't eaten yet today, only been up for an hour or so.

But yesterday consisted of...

Breakfast: Skipped it. :/

Lunch: A fettucine alfredo Lean Gourmet and a slice of lite wheat bread with nonfat I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. (In this case you definitely believe it, lol)

And Dinner my boyfriend and I went to Potbelly's. It's all in the name. :X I got the chicken salad on wheat without extra mayo, ate about 3/4 of it. I came home and looked at nutrition facts and realized that the chicken salad had just as much if not more than some of the other seemingly more fattening sandwiches. The Pizza Sub, The "Wreck" that my boyfriend got and so on... Why was I under the impression chicken salad was healthy? heh Anyway, I had a 100 calorie pack of Sunchips with that and half a pickle.

Snack: Little packet of Welch's dried Tropical Fruit and about 3 cans of Diet Peach Wedge soda throughout the day. Ohh I'm such a sucker for artificial sweeteners. :(
