LOCKED TOPIC

Teens: what did YOU eat today?

I'm kind of copying the oh so popular topic found in the food forum. This is different, though: for teens! I think it's pretty interesting to see what we teenagers eat, and this will kind of give the chance for teens to see what other healthy foods they can add to their diet.. I sure know that my diet needs improvement XD

Oh, and the same rules as the one in the other forum applies.. especially do not post if you are not eating enough. Nobody wants to see it, and you're only hurting yourself in the long run; believe me, I found out the hard way.

I'll start!
breakfast: cheerios, a yogurt, & and orange
lunch: a turkey sandwich (i love low carb bread! really.) an apple, another yogurt, &wheat thins
after school: a peanut butter sandwhich on whole grain & an orange
dinner: probably light soup & a salad or something!

don't be shy XD

meyoueveryoneweknow: Please read the rules of the thread..stop posting if you're not eating enough.  It can be very triggering and no one needs to see that.  Thanks.

Bugsy: Ahhh, I probably don't count in this as I am gaining and tend to put my PB in by fairly large amounts. I use a teaspoon, but I make sure the whole thing is well covered by the PB and always put in more than one (usually about three depending on the rest of my day's meals). I don't weigh - I get obsessive. D: Sorry!

Totally understand that, no worries! Thanks for helping thouuugh:)

bugsy- I ended up getting a food scale again even though I didn't think I wanted it, and I generally put around 30 grams of pb in, 15 grams stirred into prepared banana oats (half a mashed banana. 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup skim milk) and then 15 grams of pb on the spoon that I eat with so I get a taste in every bite! It's so yummy! I usually top with blueberries and  and have 3/4 cup of skim milk on the side, and once in a while a bit of granola on top for crunch! You'll be full for at least 5 hours, and its usually in the 500 calories range.

Thank you so much I'll try again tomorrow probably (I already eat breakfast today) with more PB and see if i can get some berries. yuuum x

Yes!  I love counting calories.

This way, I can carefully plan my meals and such if I'm going out or to a party.

A year ago, before I started doing this, eating a slice of pizza at a party would've devastated me.

Now, I tend to stay away from the pizza out of habit, anyway, but planning my day according to the party allows me to take and ENJOY a slice.  :D

dinner last night:  mushroom and mozzarella veggie burger on a whole wheat bun, with mustard, cholesterol free mayo, and ketchup, and one slice of muenster cheese.  a bowl of extra extra cold green grapes.  bottle of water.

lunch/afternoon snack:  peanut butter and a banana on a whole wheat flax pita,snack size bag of cherry tomatoes and baby carrots with roasted garlic hummus for dipping.  [[3:00]]

i also packed a cup of strawberry yogurt and a snack size bag of smart start cereal.  i'll just have to find a time to eat this...

dinner:  grilled turkey chops [[like pork chops, but turkey]], brown rice cooked with beef broth and mushrooms [[instead of water]], steamed broccoli and carrots. sliced cucumbers/tomatoes on the side.
