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.

Ugh, I am exiled to a hotel room for the rest of the week while the landlord tears up my bathroom to replace the floor.  Continental breakfast is the devil!

Breakfast - 1 slice whole wheat toast with cream cheese spread.  A small bowl of cheerios and a banana.  Glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee, with sugar and cream.  I miss my psyllium!

Snack - slice of homemade brown rice bread ... yum.

Lunch - black bean soup with kale, topped with shredded cheddar cheese.  thank goodness for leftovers.

Dinner - sneaking back home to the kitchen to make a broccoli-tofu scram ... like a frittata, but no eggs.

Delve_deeper, you may want to try eating more substantial foods for breakfast in the morning. You're not consuming nearly enough calories early enough in your day. Your body needs the metabolism boost for the day.
This *should* curb the afternoon munchies and allow you to eat a real dinner.

My day has been messed up because I had to work the night shift at the hospital last night.

About 2pm after sleeping, I ate a mini bagel with low fat cream cheese.

Tonight for supper I had a bowl of brown rice with crumbles ground chuck and chopped broccoli. For dessert I ate lowfat cottage cheese and jello.  

Remember guys, no portions! I am seeing a lot of numbers and serving size amounts here. Since everyone is different and everyone requires a different calorie intake, the numbers are not a good thing to have posted here.

We won't think that you are eating too much OR too little if you don't use portions/numbers..you are eating what is good for your body, not for ours.

For instance, we should be saying "oatmeal" without saying "1 packet of".

Thank-you!
