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!

agruskin: I don't always not snack, and I usually try to have something after my workout, but I try to stick to three square meals a day because it stops me from aimlessly snacking instead of meals, because I used to eat my calorie limit in them! I find eating three squares keeps my eating schedule normal and if I have really balanced meals, it usually keeps me full for 4-5 hours. Between dinner and bed time I'm usually to lazy to go get something unless I'm starving, and lately I've been eating late. However, when the school year starts I suspect I'll need one again! Hope that clears up some confusion for you!

I like posting my meals ahead of time!

if your target is 2800, you really should eat 2800. try incorporating more high-cal (but healthy) foods like peanut butter, granola, and nuts to up your intake without feeling too full. :)
