LOCKED TOPIC

Weight Gainers: What did YOU eat today?

I am copying the many times copied thread, "What did you eat today?" in hopes of helping some of those who are just starting to gain and have no clue what to eat. I know that when I began weight recovery, I was eating tons of low-cal foods just because that's what I was used to. I learned the hard way that dense foods are essential to weight gain when you have high caloric requirements (at one point I needed 4500 cal to maintain my weight on BEDREST). Perhaps newbies can get some ideas if we post our weight gain meal plans! Even if you're not gaining anymore, grab an old one and post it!:]
Please note that every body is different and some will need more or less calories than others to gain. This thread is just so that you can get an idea of what you need.
Oh, and yes, I'm breaking the "no calories, no portions" rule, since it is pretty helpful in this case. If you want to post cals/portions you can. I just ask that you don't post if you're not eating enough, though as this is a weight gain thread, I would hope none of you are undereating.;]
I'll start....
Breakfast (875 cal)*

• 1/2 cup oatmeal (150) cooked with
• 1 cup evaporated whole milk (300)
• 1 mashed banana (100)
• 2 tbsp peanut butter (200)
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed and cinnamon to taste (50) 
• 1 hard-boiled egg (75 cal)

Morning Snack (300 cal)*

• 1/4 cup mixed nuts (200)
• 1/4 cup dried apricots (100)

Lunch (660 cal)*

• 1/4 cup rice cooked in 1 cup chicken stock (300) and
• 1/2 cup canned or cooked chickpeas (145) and
• 1/3 cup shredded cheese (150) and
• 1/4 cup each onion, peppers, and tomato (30) cooked with
• 1 tbsp olive oil and curry powder to taste (120)

Afternoon snack (390 cal)*

• 1 serving baby carrots (35)
• 1/4 cup hummus (155)
• 1/4 cup mixed nuts (200)

Dinner (875 cal)*

• 1 cup of my insane Mac & Cheese recipe (515)
• 2 cups tossed salad (45)
• 2 tbsp rasins (60)
• 2 tbsp sunflower seeds (105)
• 2 tbsp dressing (150)

Evening snack (480)*

• 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt (180)

About 3600 calories :]

hi everyone!

foodshopping today, will get tons of frozen foods bc of the conveniencs, breads, pb, yogurt, cheese-suggestions? thanks!!

GIBBIT+CHARLIEBRO-it is so nuts i think how were all seperate ppl and yet i could have said the same exact things word for word!  CHARLIE, yes, sometiems i too want to wear a sign saying no im not as crazy as you think, yes i know im too thin...and GIBBIT, yes, sometiems i just cant sit down!  w yoga or anything, i just want to go go go and i used to take spin classes and ppl would stare at me, i dont deny it, it was just nuts!

GIBBIT-that is so awesome that you eat when youre hungry, i still still to prescheduled eating times, even if im hungry or not hungry.  its like im scared to eat at an off time bc what might happen later and so amazing that youre eating a decent bfast despite a later eating event!

AUSSIE-ugh, i hate not knowing if im full/hungey/did i have too much/little?  even tougher when i cant figure out the correct portion sizes of diff foods!  the chicken wasnt grilled at all, it was w brown sauce but i ended up having it and other stuff, like lo mein and general tso's chicken, i just kept telling myself that in the future wouldnt i want to be normal and eat this, i need to set myself up for the future, i think we all need to and it helps me.  gl w the nutritonist, school and groups, keep it up!

tues-

2 slices bread, bit more than 1tbspn pb, apple, cheese, some raisins~440

heyyy

quite a good day 2day :)

saw my doctor this morning and got weighed for the first time since august, and i have gained 3 kilos =D, and i didnt even freak out about it! but on the down side i have fallen on the percental weight chart thingy as i am still meant 2 be growin, so i should have gained more, and it is kinda a loss. but at least im not losing =D

so my doctor says i need 2 get to my pre ed weight (100 lbs) in max 8 months to be able to have my growth spert <my ed kinda screwed up my growing and ihavent really grown in the last year =(> it seems a bit high, but i really believe my doctor and i really wana grow :). also he said because i am a teenage boy, and bcuz of the way men are built, almost all the weight i will put on will be in muscle :). so i left feeling good and confident =)

also i saw some ppl i havent seen since the beggining of summer (around my lowest weight) and they said i looked great! it myt just be my awesome tan xD but at least im looking healthier! 4 months ago, i would have taken someone sayin i looked great as a sign that i wasnt thin enough, but now its great!

on the down side i have really bad stomach bug, and im not really digesting food properly (sorry for tmi) and my stomach realllyyy hurtss so its hard 2 eat :(( so 2day ive had

b - caramel frappacinco

    -chargrilled vegetable flatbread

l - chicken & pepper sandwich

   - loadsa chocolate/yogurt covred nuts and raisins

s - hand ful of cereal (couldnt stomach any more :()

d - chicken & vegetbale stir fry w/ sweet chilli sauce

not the best day =( and my stomach realy hurts-- can anyone tell me someone to have to up cals but not destroy my stomach,, im stuck =( biii x

So excited about experimenting with oatmeal!  Literally went to sleep last night/woke up this morning thinking about possible combinations...  I love breakfast foods!

Breakfast:  1 packet instant, unflavored oatmeal made with 1/2 cup skim milk and topped with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter, 1 sliced banana, and 1 chopped apple

Lunch:  1 cup homemade cabbage soup; about 3/4 cup white rice topped with about 1 cup sauteed spinach, onions, and tofu; 1 medium tomato

Snack:  1 cup skim milk with 1 scoop chocolate protein powder; 1/2 oz almonds; 1 slice wheat toast

Plans for the rest of the day...

Snack:  some fruit and nuts, or maybe some granola... some combination of carbs and fat

Dinner:  1 slice sauteed seitan; about 3/4 cup white rice; tomato-avocado salad

hi, just updating my food, had a good, very productive day, then my mom, i posted a seperate thread, freaked things up! ugh

tues-

2 slices bread, bit more than 1tbspn pb, apple, cheese, some raisins~440

cereal, milk, trail mix~200

cheese sandwich w/ avocado, lettuce+tomato, brown cow yogurt, plum, almond butter, doritos~460

agru- Most kosher marshmallows do actually have gelatin. There's only one brand that I know of that doesn't have animal products called Sweet & Sara and none of the stores near me sell it. :( You are not on your way to obesity! Remember that you're trying to gain weight, and as soon as your done you can easily switch high cal things for low cal things so you don't keep gaining. Oh and I love cream of wheat! The store near me sells some whole wheat and it's nummy with apples and PB in it.

alysha- Wooo you're back! Don't worry about missing all the pots. Maybe not being able to count did you some good! Do you think it helped to get rid of any food obession?

gibbit- Ahhh yes I miss marshmallows soooo much!!!! Read my post to agru. Ah why is it that I can never phrase things as well as you? That's how I feel a lot. I don't want to have this ED forever, but I don't want to let it go either. I've been trying to find new hobbies so hopfully I'll get hooked on something soon! Can I have your recipe for lemon squares? Hm, I hate to break it to you, but the air and space music is BORING. I think they even took away the moon rock so all there is to do is pay like 20 bucks to see an imax movie.

ilovechai- Haha, I always take so long deciding on food in grocery stores! I hope next time you will buy those cookies. And not the healthy kind either! Get the kind with big chunks of chocolate!

xmasbaby- Great job on breakfast! I know it is so, so hard right now. But as you continue with recovery you'll start to figure out what you enjoy eating, and you'll be able to eat as much as a normal person and love it! Stay strong.

gingerbreadman- Awesome job gaining weight! Blah my GW got re-set after I grew also. If you don't mind me asking, how much do you have to gain to be 100?

Helloooo. School sucks. But what else is new? I was very groggy and frazzled today. In geometry my teacher said something about line segment ED and I almost went "What? Who told you I have an ED??" Then I didn't pay attention for the rest of class because I was thinking about how I sometimes wish everyone knew that I had one, because then people would see me and think "Oh look, it's the anorexic." I feel like I have nothing else to be noticed for.

I'm taking my cat to the vet in a bit. She hates car trips and always pees on whoever puts her in her carrier so I hope that doesn't happen this time! Oh yeah and I have therapy at 7:00. I don't want to go, I hate my therapist! There isn't much chance of me getting a new one though because I've already switched once, and all the others have full schedules. Update when I get back tonight, I guess.

Break- Dark chocolate raspberry scone :), oatmeal w/ pumpkin, egg, nectarine

Lunch- Cold grilled cheese (I love them cold) on WW potato bread, cheddar bunnies, carrots, chocolate mousse yogurt

Snack- Cinnamon almonds

Snack- Usual

Dinner- 2 slices Palermo's natural pizza, maybe another one of my cookies

Oh and cookie update: the molasses cookies were yummy, but they spread out quite a bit when baking so they're really thin. Next time I'll refrig. the dough longer.

I am a hardgainer as many of you have detailed through these postings.  We are pre-disposed to be our sleek sizes.  If we ever did want to gain weight, often times it does take a little bit more than our well rounded friends.  It's tough, but with a little extra discipline and knowledge, one can gain weight without extreme measures.  I have a blog that talks about this very topic, if you ever free to take a look.  I highly suggest it.

http://hardgainers-review.blogspot.com/

I do understand why society has focused on the epidemic of obesity, since many people do suffer iller fates as a result of being overweight.  But still, It would be nice for some of us hardgainers to get some attention on the national scope like we are in this gathering of minds.  There just isn't enough information or knowledge out there to guide us through our lifestyle.

agru- I've realized that my inflexibility about meal times is just an ED thing and I need to relax it. So I'm really trying, I hate being hungry before the time I've scheduled my snack or if ii've planned to eat but i'm still bloated from the last meal. I usually talk to myself and rationalize it, if I'm hungry I have to allow myself to eat, and if I feel sick, I don't neccesarily have to force myself to feel worse. I have to tell myself it will be ok to just make up the calories later when i feel better. This is what normal people do, so I'm really striving to do this too. You'll get there, just keep trying! and try to tune in to what your body wants. I really think you should challenge yourself with pasta btw! it can be so good!and it's really easy to bulk up with protein and veggies, you can have it as a side instead of fries or something with your chicken, top with tomato sauce and there you ahve your veggies :) of course take your time and eat what you're comfortable with, but fight this just like you would any other fear food.

gingerbreadman- congrats on the weight gain! sorry you're not feeling well, you can probably try one of our high cal oatmeals, or find a good rice pudding recipe made with condensed milk. nuts and dried fruits are of course the most calorie dense things too, and you can get lots of virus fighting vitamins from juice too!

aqua- http://deliciouswisdom.com/2008/08/28/lemon-b ars.aspx these aren't the best but I think it's because i used a larger pan so they're really flat, so if you make them, definitely use 8x8 or smaller. Post the scone recipe! I know what you mean about people knowing, i sometimes wish people knew just so they could understand how much I've struggled the last year, but i'm sure you have plenty to be noticed for! we all need to work on not identifying ourselves with the eating disorder anymore, we have the potential to be so much more.

so, i didn't go to yoga because I ended up swimming laps :\ I've working on eating it back though and on the plus side, I conserved gas and energy by not driving :) I also wne tna dsigned up to volunteer for the Obama campaign. Later tonight I'm supposed to hang out with a friend too, though I'm not sure what the plan is. I hope it doesn't involve food.

b- greek yogurt (i've noticed this hurts me more than regular wm yogurt, anyone know why??) kiwi, 1/2 banana, almonds, walnuts, granola, soymilk.

s- carrot juice

l- seaweed salad with spinach, cilantro, oo, vinegar and ginger. snap peas and red pepper strips with tahini spread. carrot juice.

s- frozen peas

s- lemon square spread with apricot jelly, banana slices with cashew butter and peanut butter. almonds

d- will be lentils, red rice and i don't know what else. berry juice

s- don't know where I'll be but at some point I'll be eating more lemon squares

eh i hated waking up for school this morning!

charlie: i LOVE waking up and being hungry! I also started yoga today, well last night. I'm doing a beginners tape even though i'm pretty experienced, becuase the harder yoga actually does take a lot of strength. So good luck, im sure after a week or two, you'll be addicted. And you can eff anyone who stares at you.

xmas: i felt SO full for like 3 weeks, and then magically, i started to feel satisfied, and then hungry a few hours later. wait for your metabolism to speed up, be patient, and it will so be worth it. AND NEVER SKIP A MEAL BECUASE YOU FEEL BLOATED/FULL!

aqua: i deff. feel like having an ED and being as thin as i was would make me more special. but it won't, people will seriously just feel bad for us. AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LIKE COLD GRILLED CHEESE!

As for me, i had a pretty good day at school. I'm pretty motivated about the yoga/light cardio i'm starting. i am eating back calories, so dont freak out. But I'm going to a nutritionist tomorrow and she specializes in EDs, so i'll be kept on track. I still feel fat though. my little tummy has pudge, and my face is as round as a basketball. But on the bright side, tomorrow i get out of school at 1, and i'm planning on watching gilmore girls alllll night. That show makes me happy becuase they eat like men- pizza, popcorn, fries, burgers, ice cream! Now that's my kind of show. i don't have much to say today. school is stupid. i have to read antigone by tomorrow. yipeee

breakfast: ezekiel grain english muffin, cinnoman raisin PB, soy milk, apple, sausage

snack: gatorade

lunch: italian sausage, ezekiel grain bun, salad, ranch, soy milk

b- corn flakes and milk (had extra milk after, but just wasnt up to eating more)

[300]

lunch was BADD had practice during lunch so only got time to drink some soup fast which i thought was high calorie but utnred out tob e 90 cals and fat free

s- an orange, a rice cake, some cucumbers. [200]

going to exercise to build an apetetite nad have a HUGE dinner to make up for my little disaster

thanks to everyone for advice and support, and i'll continue writing my story as it goes, you dont need to read it if you want, i just need to vent it.

Today was a little bad granted, but i know that i just need to eat more at lunch (higher cals) and have a heavy breakfast as well so i'm not eating all my calories at night which is BADD for you. My goal is by halloween to have gained enough and be secure enough to go out with friends and actually eat stuff ;)

other goal is to not gain weight and become out of shape, but to gain and try and exercise every day :S

if ANYONE has good lunch ideas/breakfast ideas for me send me a message :)

HEY THERE GUYSIES!

wow, I love reading this thread...I always save it until after dinner and it distracts me from having eaten!  Having opened up an entire marshmallow debate may be one of the proudest accomplishments of my life...another dimension - do people prefer the pink ones or the white ones? (Pink ALL the way baby!)

aquaev: hang in there with college - it always sucks to go back! And once you get into a routine it'll be better...I hope your cat gets better soon, and dude, your scone sounds AWESOME!

likear:I hope you're having lots of oatmeal based fun!  My poppy used to start everyday with a bowl of oatmeal, milk and whisky!

hang in there gingerbread man!  I find cookies and milk make an excellent pre-bed snack!

gibbit: did it take you a while to recognise hunger?  I'm either hungry all the time or denying it.....

charlibo: thanks for your message - I will reply soon, promise!

So today was iffy: so I tried listening to my body and then ended up way under calories, dunno, having a funny day today - on the other hand - feeling so much better about the haircut - the shock of looking in mirrors is making life a lot more fun!  I ended up not going out with my parents in the end - I just thought, if I went out with them I wouldn't be able to eat my snacks and a good dinner, so I stayed in - a sucky decision, but a responsible one I feel.

I don't know, I'm having one of those funny days where you don't feel either one thing or the other, do you know what I mean?  I'm neither happy nor sad, I'm just odd, in the middle....on the other hand, my yoga instructor came up to me and said that she wanted to train me to be a yoga instructor - VERY PROUD!  AND had a breakthrough with the mothership - she said she respected my decision not to g out with them and she thought that she trusted me to make my own decisions!  For the first time in 21 sodding years!well I never.  AND I saw some drunks nearly fight in the street which was like my own personal Jeremy Kyle show....I'm trying to do one good deed a day as well, and I bought the big issue today.  I hate Keira Knightley.  I don't know why, or wherefore.  I just do!

Foodies:

Brekkers: granola again...I don't know why I think this is American, I just do, I feel American saying it, granola granola granola.......

Lunch: My fishmonger, bless him, had some REALLY big crabs in, and saved me one, so spent a happy morning killing, cooking, and bashing open said crab and had crab chowder for lunch!

Snack: Apples and mini light babybel (it REALLY pisses me of when they write light as lite)

Dinner: Carrots, runner beans and.....wait for it.....COTTAGE PIE!  YES! I HAD PIE! and it was **** A!  I make it with chicken livers as well as mince you see.  Oh my god I felt disgusting for about 3 hours afterwards but it was WORTH IT!

Pud: Plums baked in cointreau on a crumble base with ice cream

Snack: hot milk, and crumpets with peanut butter and banana

pheweeeee

out of interest, how many people here are religious?

oh, ad antigone? bugger me.....

YEEEE!! Bottom up:

Slr: A LOT of us on here love love looovveee oatmeal. You can easily make a 800+ calorie breakfast by adding pb, nuts, dried fruit and sugary yummy things to your oats. :] And it's a great grain, as well.

ilovechai: Yes, I agree, school is stupid. >< I really hate being there just because, well... I kind of have no friends. And the friends I DO have are VERY unsupportive. Blahhh. It's awesome that you're starting yoga and eating back the calories. :] Great job.

Aqua: Yesss~! I think not counting did actually help me somehow. :] I feel much better about what I eat, and... guess what?!? I ATE BUTTER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LIKE, FOREVER. HAHAHA. I missed you guys though. :3

Aussie: Thanks. :] I wish it could've gone more smoothly, though.

Agru! YAY! I TOTALLY MISSED TALKING TO YOU GUYS! Ahhh.. where am I without my precious CCers. >_< I'll write about my day below! OH and the date! I can see this turning into a long post, hahaha!

Okay, so my DATE: It was quite spectacular. :D He and I went for a very long walk and ended up on this "iron bridge" thing that was half burnt down (how safe, lol). I still had some alcoholzzz, so we sat on the bridge, drank rum straight and talked about things for roughly 5 hours.... it was incredible. Like, I've never met anyone who actually liked the same bands as me! Most people haven't heard of Sigur Ros (my favourite) and he started laughing so hard because he hasn't been able to find anyone who likes them either! Ahhh... >__< And as it turns out, he was once on prozac, so he understood what was going on... It was pretty cool. :] And yeah, I know I'm not supposed to be drinking because I'm young and blah blah blah BUT, we had a fairly decent time and didn't do anything we'd regret. ;)

And my first day back at school: UGH. They screwed up, I think, and gave me NO classes. So I had like, a full-day SPARE. Barf. :( So I spent the whole day walking around with my ex and his dumb friends... (who I was surprised to see, geh).. but then we ran into the guy I went out on a date with, and I talked with him for a bit. LMAO, and my ex got so pissed. He's like that, still thinks he owns me even though we're not together. >< Sucks, but what else can I do except ignore it. BUT ANYWAY... I think they didn't give me any classes because I stopped attending last year? Stupid ED wrecking everything. >__<

I'll post my foodies later... not done eating yet :D

EDIT: OMG, I TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION- I GOT MY PERIOD! HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

omg alysha! periodddd! yay!!! and reading about your date made me feel like i was a little girl with a crush, hahaha. it sounds so fun, and so does making your ex jealous. i think that would be fun too.

ilovechai- i love gilmore girls! weird, I was watching it when I first read your post. I love how they eat. Sad thing is I used to love it because I could relate, that's how I used to eat, just loads of food, anything and everything and I loved it all.

slr- i'm sure you'll get back into the swing of school soon. For breakfast I second alysha's oatmeal option! if you don't have time you can make overnight oatmeal and mix it all at night and put it in the fridge and have a muesli type thing for breakfast. or find a good waffle recipe and make a big batch over the weekend so you can pop a few in the toaster in the morning, top with maple syrup, yum! Lunch can be sandwiches, wraps, or leftovers from dinner, and bring other snack type things like granola bars, yogurt, fruit, nuts. I would also reccommend a more calorie dense snack, especially when you don't have much time at school. I know it's hard to get out of that diet mentality, but rice cakes and cucumbers have barely any calories, so it's not good when you're already low.

theo- it did take me quite a while and I still fight myself on it. I can't tune into my feelings all the time either, sometimes I'm starving all day, other days I'm bloated and not hungry. it just makes me happy when the signals are strong enough and I listen to them. I have also been working on weight gain since december though, and like you I also tend to end up under when I'm simply listening to my body just because I need so many calories to actually gain, it does take some work. Great job with yoga! I've actually been asked to become an instructor too! but I haven't had time to go get certified. I feel bad for your crab :( i guess that's why I'm a vegetarian. But I do admire you for being such an amazing chef! ...oh and i'm not religious at all.

alysha- the date, yayayayayay!!! I'm so glad it went so well! and your ex is probably kicking himself but its all his fault because he's a scumbag and you deserve way better. Congratulations on the monthly visitor!!

omg alysha thats awesome :)!! really it is !

any tips??

updated foodiess :|

b- corn flakes, milk [300]

l- soup [100]

s- rice cake, orange, cucumbers, glass of soy milk [300]

d- aloo gobi curry with baby corn, corn on the cob, plain full fat yogurt, and rice.

[600]

total so far today: 1300,

goal for today: 1500

i've decided to start small, and go for 1500 per day, then next week 1600, etc because even today im just NOT hungry which means my metabolism is wayyy slow and i NEED to boost it so i ate a pretty big dinner and will eat more later, no matter how bloated or fat i feel, i won't LET myself go under.

hey everyone-just ODed foodshopping, bottom up-

SLR-Keep up the good work!

ALYSHA-SHUT UPPPPPPPP-PERIOD-WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?? congrats! howd you meet the guy to begin with?  post your foods, and dont get back w your ex!  but dont use this guy to get back at the ex either, this 1 sounds awesome! yay!!!

THEO-ICANT LISTEN TO my body either, i think bc of the ED our hunger/satiety cues are messed up for now.  the paella recipe lloks great, but we keep kosher in the house so no seafood, but keep posting!  oh, lol not so religious but kosher at home.

CHAI-WHATS a portillos chop salad? which one is antignoe, i forget, and yes, lol, i was an english major in undergrad. what cardio did youy choose?

GIBBIT-the greek yogurt, hmm, maybe it hurts more bc more protein or maybe more fat?  youre doing so great spending time w friends, it sort of sux for me bc a lot of my friedns have moved away so i need to find a way to somehow meet some new ppl.  oh, and i bought pasta, not for tonight but i got like every food in the world, lol.

AQUA-Woops, sprry about the fake out w the marshmallows.  ahh, i hate math anyways but thats sort of funy.  where did you find the scone recipe?  gl w therapy!

so now me-i made an appt w an ED nutritionist for next wed.  im going to show her my food logs and i want to make a list of al lthe qs I, or anyone ehre may have.  its so expenise, im using my bday money for it.  ugh, its so late and my mom isnt here to make me dinner, maybe ill make a big sandwich, i dunno.

Quick post will post tomorrow. Sorry you all! Busy life...grr! Hehehe...Goodnight and talk to you all tomorrow!

<3 psychoJ

oh well, me again, just need to keep tabs on my eating..

tues-

2 slices bread, bit more than 1tbspn pb, apple, cheese, some raisins~440

cereal, milk, trail mix~200

cheese sandwich w/ avocado, lettuce+tomato, brown cow yogurt, plum, almond butter, doritos~460

planning-apple, yogurt, a carb~350  TOTAL ~2200

ilovechai- Yesss!! Period XD though I kinda liked not having it. Hahaha. And yes, the date was amazing. :] It was pretty fun watching my ex cringe as I spoke to another guy- he needs to know how it feels from my side, anyway!

gibbit- YES the date XD I had a lot of fun! I hope my ex IS kicking himself, hahaha, dirtbag! Thanks!

slr- thankyou. >_< It's kind of a relief to know that I'm healthy again. People have been telling me that my skin is glowing, too :D Also, for tips; not sure what to tell you, other than throw as much as you can into oatmeal & use full-fat products for things when you can... without making it taste terrible. Hehehe. :]

Argu!- I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID, HAH! I think it might have been all the fat I was eating, because during the ED I was eating very little if any at all, and now I'm eating between 70-90 grams a day of all good mono, poly saturates.. I've heard people reccommend upping the fats to get your period again before on this site, but I never thought it would work! Oh, and don't worry, totally not using this guy to get back at my ex, though it's a huge plus that he's jealous- I've known him for a couple years, he was in one of my classes that was a grade 11/12 split (he was in grade 12, I was in grade 11) and he graduated before me... and recently he found me on facebook and we started talking again. :] He's a real sweet guy! OH and- that's definitely a good idea, showing your nutritionist your food logs. I've been printing mine out for my nutritionist and emailing them to her so she can look them over and stuff, that way you get more feedback about what you're supposed to be consuming! G'luck!

Hahaa, ignore the beer; someone brought a can to school and I drank like 1/6 of it. Silly. ;) I think I'll add some dry roasted soybeans before I go to bed, to get up to 3000 again.

G'night everyone! <3

hello friends. i've pretty much been trying to learn "the minnow and the trout" by a fine frenzy by ear on my piano, ALL NIGHT (after an odd nap from 6-7:30) and it's put me in a damn good mood.

update:

snack: muffin and apple

agru: ahahha well i just started antigone, the one where she buries her dead brother even though the law said it wasn't allowed. that's as far as i got. i just finished oedipus rex, and am thouroughly grossed out by the mother-son mating fiasco that went down in that story. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A PORTILLOS CHOP SALAD is the best chopped salad you will ever have. i'm not sure if there are portillos (it's a super famous hot dog joint in chicago/cali/indiana) anywhere else. it's chopped up romaine, an original ceasar/house dressing, tomatoes, ditalini pasta, bacon, gorgonzola cheese, shredded cheese, chicken, onion, and it comes with a warm poppyseed muffin on the side. i used to order it w/o the chicken, noodles, bacon or cheese- so it's so nice to just gobble all of it down the way it's supposed to come! (they have delivery! i'd call and order one!!!! and a hot dog while you're at it!)

...that was obnoxiously long.

Ate a lot today, cause I'm being weighed in tomorrow. Eek!
