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.

Around 1100 calories so far, am going to go to the gym now then eat a bit more when I get home later. 

i'm guessing you are vegan. it's nice to see what other vegans eat in day!

I'm vegetarian now, but I'd find it so hard to be vegan! How do you do it!? The only animal products I still eat are (cage-free) eggs from my friend's private-owned farm, and yogurt from StoneyField Farms; since they're humane to their animals.

breakfast-1/4 cup egg beaters

       &nb sp;        1 quaker unsalted rice cake

lunch-smoothie;1 cup strawberries, 50 blueberries, 1/2 dannon light + fit yogurt.

snack-2 rice cakes 

dinner-tofu chicken steak

       &nb sp;   1 cup shredded lettuce w/ 2 tsp. light dressing 

 snack-1 cup air popped popcorn.

i was never really into eggs. and to replace them as a lean protein (most people here will eat just the whites) you could try beans instead. but i guess if you like eggs and you still want to be vegan than it's something you just have to work at.

i eat really simply foods most of the time now. it's difficult to become adjusted to the new tastes but if you stick with them they will stick with you. i can't eat anything overwhelmingly anymore. and the truth is i rarely have the desire to. foods i used to binge on i can eat one of (like a cookie) and leave it at that.

and there is really good soy yogurt!! i guess you'd have to check to see if grocery stores near you have some.

it was hard work. at least for me. but like i said. once your body and your taste buds become adjusted to the new foods it will become easier and easier.

i myself though have a tough time remembering to make sure i get good fats. seeds, nuts, avocado and the like.

BREAKFAST: 1 cup apple cheery juice, 1 1/4 cup kellogs satisfaction cereal, 1/2 cup mocha organic yogurt

SNACK: 1/2 cup corn squares, 1/2 cup cinnamon cinnabon cereal, hanfull of grape nuts

LUNCH: navel orange and 1/2 cup cottage cheese, bottle of water, 1 fruit bar

SNACK: handfull of organic daybreak cereal, 1 cup oatmeal squares

DINNER: 1 cup spinach, 1/2 cup green beans, 1/2 a salmon fillet

SNACK: baked apple with brown sugar, 1 cup frozen fruit, 1 cup pineapple

This is my first day... I really didn't know how quickly calories added up! Hopefully this is the reason why I don't lose weight... Now that this program counts for me, well, cross your fingers!

Breakfast - nothing

Lunch - a microwave-terrible pasta bowl, and a can of mandarin oranges, a couple of Keebler cookies left over from Valentine's stuff.

Dinner - leftover buffalo chicken salad from Chili's (Yikes, seriously, bad for you!)

Snack - water, I was a little discouraged after I did my first count!

 After reading these, I have some really great references to look at and see what my options are.

Whole Foods has soy yogurt! But what are the best brands? I never know which ones to try...

And yeah, I'm working on the egg thing for sure; I was able to cut them out today and replace them with putting soy protein in my oatmeal instead! I've also read recipies for "vegan egg scrambles" made with tofu - I'll be trying that sometime too!

Breakfast - Oatmeal (half cup oats, four teaspoons flaxseed, four teaspoons wheat germ, organic soy protein, and cinnamon - try it!), strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, Stoneyfield plain nonfat yogurt.

Snack - Some almonds and fresh pineapple.

Lunch - Broccoli, green beans, peas, kidney beans, an apple, Homemade black bean burger (I had one yesterday, but I LOVE them!), olive oil (for cooking), and a fourth-cup of Greek yogurt.

Snack - Grapes, soy nuts, smoothie made with vanilla soymilk, silken tofu, and banana.

Dinner - (Going to Chili's...I think) Guiltless black bean burger patty, unbuttered corn on the cob, and fresh steamed veggies; I'm asking them to leave off the parmesean cheese. 

A lot of black beans, xD. Ah well, they're high in antioxidants and are the perfect vegetarian protein.

yea i love scrambles with vegan sausage. i like gimme lean sausage style. it's really good and fat free! and protein shakes are nice in the morning too with a bit of fruit. that's another thing you could substitute it for.

as for soy yogurt, i like whole soy & company. o'soy is gross i think. it's not tart like a yogurt should be. and silk yogurt is good too but i try not to buy that stuff because it's owned by white wave which is owned by deans which is pretty much the biggest dairy company. that's the only kinds we have here i believe.

Breakfast:
rolled oats with 200ml skim milk, a banana and a 40 cal toffee hot chocolate sachet mixed in (tasted like banoffee pie ;))

Lunch:
wholemeal pitta bread with ham and 3 cherry tomatoes, pear, granny smith apple, 80cal cereal bar.

Snack:
2 chocolate chip cookie dough poptarts BAD!

Dinner:
wholemeal pasta with vegetarian quorn and tomatoes.

I'll try Whole Soy next time then! I'm pretty sure I've seen it before...

Gimme Lean sounds amazing; I've seen it a few times. Does it really have a "sausage" taste to it? Or do you add herbs and spices?
