YOUNG Calorie Counters...What did you eat today?
So, you know the drill. What did you young calorie counters (under 21)eat today?
Meal plans less than 1500 for females OR 1800 for males will be deleted as they violate CC guidelines and are unhealthy.
You need calories to grow, develop, and mature whether you realize it or not so PLEASE do not post low calorie meal plans. This is a space that should encourage healthy eating and give others ideas. I appreciate your respectfulness and abidance to the rules.
If you have any questions at all about healthy eating for your age, size, etc. please feel free to PM me or ask questions here. There are no dumb questions! :)

Sidenote, I tried the Subway veggie patty sub for the first time today! I have been dying to try it 'cos I love vegetarian burger patties and such, but I was reluctant because it is one of the highest-cal options at Subway. It did taste rather oily but OMG IT WAS SO GOOD. Om nom nom.

Hey gurl :)
I wondered why this was for quite some time but then I realized what happened. So lets say, today at the gym, you were on the elliptical for lets say, an hour? And you burned 500. Well your "burn meter" only goes up by 400 because for that hour, you weren't, lets say, reading or washing dishes (which would be considered sedentary). Do you get it? Let me try again. Ok so, the burn meter is set for a 24 hour period and I'm assuming yours is set as sedentary and then you add in exercise. Well for 1 hour out of that 24, you weren't "sedentary" and burning "sedentary calories". Now do you get it?
Sorry if that was confusing! Its difficult to explain
Breakfast Banana & 25g wholenut peanut butter on 2 slices of white bread + toasted under the rayburn. Mug of tea. Few sips of orange juice (400)
Snack Nakd pecan pie bar, 2 light baby bells (250)
Lunch Parma ham (60) Salami (60) New potatoes (100) Houmous (60) Red sauce (20) Lettuce,tomato & red pepper (20)
Snack 3 reese's pb cups (265)
Dinner admirals pie (350) Red sauce (20) Lettuce (10) Orange squash (5)
Dessert Petite filous (105)
Snack Cadbury's hot chocolate (100)
-1750
Also 3 nestle build ups (x1 chicken,x2 strawberry)
-2500
No offence but that's a really seriously effed up meal plan if your burning that much
a) it's not helpful to anyone reading it, it will only trigger those trying to gain and it's really not a good example for someone trying to lose. .
b) Your doing yourself a lot of harm eating that little, you'll only regret slowing down your metabolism so much i swear! By exercising that much you have a license to eat eat eat! because you need it, you'll even lose!

fallingcrashing- good job on your breakfast, but your calories FELL lower! oh no! remember, just because you did a good job fighting ED in the morning, doesn't mean you should give up later. i'm really glad you aren't severely restricting, but you could definitely have more. hey, what about have peanut butter mixed in the yogurt at your snack too? what about eating something before bed? something yummy always helps with a better night sleep too, like a warm glass of soy milk with honey would be soothing and help with your calories too. :)
