meal plan templates for different calorie ranges--WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY??
OKAY, so there is a thread that posts foods eaten for the day, but for those of us who run low on ideas or want to see what a particular range of calories can look like for the day i thought it would be GREAT to have a thread where we list our foods eaten with the calorie range. so, if you're with me listaway!!
I think it would be helpful to list the TOTAL CALORIES for each person's day...that way individuals can get a sense of what a days worth of calories looks like for that calorie goal. if this is a bad idea then that's fine but it's just a suggestion

I hate that I tend to do this. I always end up getting the majority of my calories in the AM and right before bed. Oh well...
MEGAN-hi, why only 1200ish????? from your pic it doesnt seem rt?
I'm not sure what you mean by from the picture it doesn't seem right. The picture is kind of old, but I don't think I look much different. Regarding the calorie amoutn, I'm recovering from an ED and have been struggling some lately. Today was an ok day (not what I was aiming for, but better than I had been doing). I probably shouldn't have posted it on here, but I was curious how much I was getting.
megan-are you working w a doctor? youve been saying the same thing for maybe years now? you deserve better, YOU posted the 800something amount, good that youre doing "better" but if you need to, please get professionall help.
I appreciate your concern. I've been seeing a counselor, but she is out on maternity leave right now, so I have been seeing a dietician. Also, my parents are trying to keep me accountable. I don't live with them, which makes it hard, but it helps some. Thanks again and I'm sorry if the post was inappropriate.

Wow..I eat so much crap o.o My schedule is weird so I can't have a real meal until I get home at three or four, so I snack a lot during the day and end up eating "lunch" when I get home and then eating dinner super late. I know once the semester is over I'll be able to eat at more normal times though :]

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
