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

breakfast- 1 cup of (Nature Valley) oats&honey cereal, 1/2 cup of (Silk) plain soy milk, 1/2 cup of raspberries, 1 piece of toast. 6:00 AM

lunch- 1 grilled cheese uncrustable, 1/2 cup of corn, water. 9:20 AM

snack- 18 organic spicy blackbean tortilla chips. 12:00 PM

dinner- 1 cup of almond milk, 1 cup of (Kashi) autumn wheat cereal, 2 strawberry waffles, sugar-free maplesyrup, 1 mini cinnamon raisin bagel. 4:00 PM

snack- 1 red apple. (I was even hungry. My stomach hurts now. *Sigh*)

*I always eat my meals so early, it sucks. : (

 

[9:AM] breakfast: smoothie which contained:
- most of a frozen banana [100 cal]

- 100g cup of mango yogurt [50 cal]

- 1/2 cup strawberry soy milk [60 cal]

- a cup or so [porbably a little more] of forzen tropical fruit salad [80 cal]

- scoop of whey protein powder. [150 cal]

i was bored so i put a bunch of stuff in a blender :) tasted amazing though

Is that enough for breakfast? or too much?

[haven't eaten yet, but around 12:30?] Lunch: (not eaten YET but will),

big bowl of steamed brocolli, 1/2 bagel w/ cream cheese, im estimating that's around 350 cals

['around 6:30] dinner: indian bread with chickpea curry, rice and yogurt [veryveryvery high cal]

snacks are probs fruit like clementines/strawberries, or grapes or vegetables like carrot sticks/cucumbers with V8.

can some1 help me calculate if i'm eating enough and whether i should eat more or get more of certain nutritents?

13 yrs old, 5''1, 91 lbs. trying to gain through muscle,

SLR- even if you were not trying to gain id say that you need to eat more.  maybe try 3 meals and 2-3 snacks a day.  maybe add PB on toast to bfast, add a fruit to the lunch you posted, maybe yogurt too, add some snacks-anything you want really, but id say eat some more for sure!  more protein, not just fuits for snacks-good luck!

which means I'm still slightly underneath my daily goal.. I guess I'll have another snack in an hour or two

Noxie: I'm sorry, would you like a round of applause? If you wake up late eat your breakfast when you wake up. Breakfast has no set time. AND FRUIT DOES NOT A DINNER MAKE.

not if you wake up at 11.30 am, half an hour before lunch

(just going to look for something nice in the fridge later... still got another 5 hours before I go to bed)

 

 

Edited: had a sandwitch

 

missing breakfast screws up the whole day for me..

NOXIE: Break down the word 'breakfast': Break fast. Basically, breakfast is the first meal you have after the 'fast' of sleeping. It doesn't matter WHAT time you wake up, breakfast is the first meal you have in the day. So, techincally, your lunch was your breakfast. Time is not a tangible thing, just because people have SAID 'breakfast is from this time to this' doesn't make it true.

... why are you even posting? Unless you had a 1200 calorie sandwich, you're starving yourself. don't flaunt it.

 

& direwolf, nice to see you're still working on upping the calories! Keep goinggg! =]

no, not a 1200 sandwich... but around 250-300 cal... so it does bring everything up to just above 1200... Like I said - missing breakfast messes up my day....especially when parents get into the: "well, its -.-- o'clock, it's too late for breakfast/lunch/whatever, you'll have to wait for the next meal" mood

 You know...it's been scientifically proven it will not KILL you to eat a HEALTHY amount of calories, but that it's actually GOOD for you.

Don't blame me, blame the scientists...
...and reasoning...
...and logic...
....and those who have responded to crap like this in the past.

Please RE-read the first post (if you even read it at all) and eat some more. Come back when you decide to grow up and eat properly.
