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.

so i had...
breakfast:
oatmeal with grated apple
and then the rest of the apple as slices
lunch:

supper:

boiled broccoli and carrotts
onion rings and mozza sticks (just a few of each)

lots of unsweetend herbal tea and some coffee

and... (drumroll please)
i didn't snack! i spread each of my 'meals' out over the course of an hour or two, so i was eating all day and felt like i was snacking, but ate enough filling things so that i felt like i had eaten a full meal.

so happy! :D

Just a friendly reminder.

How is that starving myself?

How many cals do you think all that contains?

Kelly -

1 nectarine = 60 calories You had two.  120 cals. 1 apple - about 80 cals, 1 cup of zucchini - 20, 1 cup of onions: 65, 1 cup of eggplant - 20, 2 cups of peppers - about 60

That's 425 calories.  Even if you ate more veggies than this, there is no way you could be close to the minimum required 1200.  But on this post, we're not supposed to mention calories or anything.  I think you got plenty of advice in your other thread about this.

I had three nectarines actually.

I can't eat more than this, then I feel like I've eaten too much - A BINGE!!!!

Kelly, your desire and plan to starve yourself is your business.  You have received  a lot of good and helpful information here in previous threads, which I truly hope you will be able to find helpful.  However, you have stated in previous threads that you feel "full and bloated" if you eat more than 1 zucchini.  Eating 300 to 350 calories of fruits and vegetables ONLY as your entire daily intake hardly constitutes a binge OF ANY KIND.  Which is it?  Feeling full much too soon is a physical/medical condition, for which you need to see a doctor.  Thinking you are "binging" on 300 cals of fruit a day is an emotional/psychological condition, for which you need to see a doctor. 

Please, see a doctor.  In the meantime, please re-read the original post of this thread, wherein the poster specifically asks that you not post here if you are starving yourself.  It is extremely defeating to those of us currently posting in this thread who choose to lose weight healthily. 

There is currently another thread of this nature going on in the Weight Loss Forum, where it appears as if they do not mind posting calories or semi-starvation diets.  If the mods are okay with that thread, then could you please post what you are eating (or not eating, as the case may be) in that thread instead, as long as you continue to choose to starve yourself, that is?

Basically, as I see it, you really only want people to tell you better ways to eat food that contains no calories or to tell you eating 300 calories a day is just fine and dandy.  You have now added a few veggies to your previous "diet" of 2 nectarines and a lettuce-only salad a day, thus adding approximately 50 to 100 calories, and bringing your grand total to a whopping 350 to 400 cals a day (generous estimate).  THAT is how you are "starving yourself" since you asked. 

I ask again, please, see a doctor and be honest with him.  Get some help.
