What did YOU eat today?
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.
Reason: Moved to the Food Forum. =) Thanks! ♥

PLEASE STOP POSTING CALORIE AMOUNTS AND PORTION SIZES. ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT EVEN BOTHER TELLING US WHAT YOU ATE IF YOU DID NOT EAT AT LEAST 1200 CALORIES, UNLESS YOU ARE A LITTLE PERSON OR HAVE AN ACTUAL DIAGNOSED METABOLIC DISORDER AND TRULY NEED LESS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT (this is the only time I will ever mention calories in this thread).
If you were sick and that is why you didn't eat enough, I am very sorry you feel ill, but skip posting your intake for that day. If you have an eating disorder and are trying very hard to recover and eat more, that is wonderful for you, but please do not post your intake here until you ARE actually eating enough - not just trying to.
Also, let's try to stop with the negative commentary. It isn't fun to read a list of what you ate and then see right underneath it something along the lines of "I ATE SOOOO MUCH TODAY UGH" or "TODAY WAS A HORRIBLE DAY". If you aren't happy with your intake, then don't post! No one is forcing you to, k?
Thank-you very much.
