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

I find this thread conducive only to perpetuating eating disorders.

Lemme seeee

breakfast:
egg, a few slices of turkey, salsa, whole-wheat tortilla, pinto beans, an orange

snack:
1/2 a bag of beef jerky [before I realized it was Friday and Lent and gave the rest to a stray dog]

dinner:
breaded shrimp, sauteed stir-fry veggies, coffee

snack:
quesadilla w/ whole-wheat tortillas

:)

Breakfast: cottage cheese with cinnamon and splenda and ww toast.

Lunch: South Beach diet kit (chicken caesar wrap with no cheese)

 Dinner: Turkey subway on ww 6 inch, no mayo, salt and pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, cheese, oil, and vinegar.

this is daily:

breakfast: nothing.

lunch: nothing.

dinner: cereal (cheerios) with low fat milk. [ usually 2/3 servings]

snack: fruit snacks & canned pineapple or any fruit.

thats it.

ahhhhhhhhhh! stop it! read the first post! we're really not interested that you are starving yourself! it's not a huge accomplishment or anything to be proud of. no one envies your 'self control'. we know it's stupid. go brag elsewhere.

Original Post by well0277:

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.

you aren't losing because you aren't eating a lot but you are eating a
small amount of calorie rich foods with little to no nutrients it seems.

you need to eat less calories more often. foods that have a high nutrient
density. and try not to skip breakfast. it kick starts
your metabolism and you have the rest of the day to burn it off. ya, know?

YESTERDAY:

I had

Breakfast: 1 cup old fashioned quaker oats with 2/3 c 2% milk, 1 miniature box raisins, 1 tbs honey, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 2 egg white stirred in a minute before cooking time was up. (YUM) That was about a 520 cal breakfast.

Lunch: I had 2 small slices of Homemade Apple Pie, about 500 calories (I was at a friends house)

Dinner: Texas Roadhouse Grilled Chicken Salad with 2 tbs low fat ranch dressing, 2 small dinner rolls with 1 tsp cinnamon butter on each, and almost 1 oz peanuts. About a whopping 1000 calories! YIKES!

But my total was about 2076, which I SHOULDNT BE FREAKED OVER. I hadn't been eating enough the past month anyway; this isn't even my MAINTENANCE. Gah...

 

Today I havent had anything yet because I have to take Minocycline as soon as I wake up and can't eat until 2 hrs later; so i will eat something in about 20 minutes now....ugh I'm not even that hungry; but I NEED to eat. BLAH

Lunch: Toasted whole wheat pita filled with hummus, sprouts, tomato, cucumber, and grilled chicken breast, along with a heaping side of steamed veggies.

Snack: Big bag of raw veggies (grape tomatoes, carrots, broccoli), mug of hot chocolate.  Those don't quite go together, but oh well!

Dinner: Too early, but my dining hall is making Thai chicken wraps with peanut sauce, and I'm more than a little excited about that haha.  I'll probably throw in some brown rice and steamed veggies with that.

Later:  Wellll, it's Saturday, and in college that means some serious splurging :)

Breakfast: 2 egg whites on a ww english muffin

Snack: Strawberries and Creame Slim Fast Optima Shake
