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.

So far I've had yogurt, grapes

Then I had cucumber, carrots, tomatoe, and egg white scramble. I'm going to a friends today, and we always eat a lot so I'm watching my food :)

Depressive: Looks like you're having an okay day to me (sometimes I want to eat the same thing all day, too). I can't quite tell from your question if you want to eat less later in the day, or if you're saying that you still feel hungry despite feeling like you've eaten a lot already. If it's the former, I personally think you've eaten fairly lightly up until now. If the latter, maybe the lack of at least a little fat up to this point is what's keeping you hungry. Just a suggestion.
