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.

Here's me for today:

Breakfast: slept far too late
Lunch: sandwich (100% whole wheat bread, garden burger veggie medley patty, soy dijon "mayo", pickle, lettuce), dried apricots, diet soda, tums, vitamin
Snack: apple, no salt added raw almond butter
Dinner: corn, bell peppers, sugar-snap peas, lettuce, firm tofu, soy dressing, tums
Snack: soy delicious peanut butter zig zag! yumm.

I'm sure I'll forget something as it was nibbling most of the day yesterday:

lo fat peach yogurt, Laughing Cow cheese and saltines, Adkins PB + raspberry bars, PB + chocolate rice cake, lightly fried perch, fresh corn, white wine, black beans, bran cereal + soy milk. prunes.

water and coffee 

looking this over I guess it wasn't really unhealthy.  I overdid the treats, but had just bought them in hopes adding variety saves me from a bad binge.

Man, I was sooo close... Was having a good day, not even over my cals and then "it" walked in; Gooey, chocolate frosted and way out of my league. Oh, well, we all fall down sometimes.

B: Boca southwest-style breakfast wrap (soy sausage, egg whites, cheese, peppers, salsa in a whole wheat tortilla), and coffee with splenda and vanilla Silk w/fiber
Snack: a pear
L: turkey sandwich on double fiber wheat bread (with sliced tomatos, spicy mustard and a little low fat mayo) and some cherries.
D: Grilled lamb loin chop, oven-roasted baby potatoes tossed with a little homemade buttermilk-blue cheese dressing and fresh mint leaves, and half a bottle of assam black iced tea.
And then the horror: a huge yeast-raised doughnut frosted with a mix of chocolate and vanilla frosting (it looked marbled, kinda). It was in my mouth before I'd even fully realized what happened. I blame hormones, lmao

I shall persevere tomorrow!!
