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.

loufederer, if you really are eating that little (calorie wise and volume wise) unintentionally, then there is a chance that something is wrong. You should be very hungry and feel ill eating that little. All living creatures are meant to have good appetites, so that we fuel and nourish our bodies. Healthy eating not only means eating healthy foods, it also means eating enough.

I'm feeling OK I guess. I know it's not much, but I haven't felt any REAL hunger pangs or anything. The only discomfort is when I run, when my whole body just aches (even my arms) - which is probably because I don't have the greatest amount of energy. But I don't feel faint or 'ill' per se, I'll see how it goes. I have a really unsettled relationship with food mind you, it's really all or nothing with me. Happy mediums are so difficult to sustain in my view! This seems to be working though. 

breakfast: skim milk, fiber one cluster cereal, coffee, powdered milk, sugar free chocolate surup
snack: Yogurt (f/f no sugar added)
Lunch: Chicken Parmigiana with broccoli (healthy choice)
snack: romaine lettuce, carrots, f/f/ itallian dressing
Dinner: Wheat bread, onions, chicken, garlic
desert: itallian ice
other drinks: cystal light (diluted), orange juice (diluted), water, diet soda (diluted)

(I love to snack)
