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.

lunch: a turkey sandwich (i love low carb bread! really.) an apple, another yogurt, &wheat thins

i used to do the exact same thing. eat more throughout the day and in a week or so your should stop feeling so hungry in the evenings. i know it's scary at first but it really does work. try and distract yourself in the evenings for the first few days or so, just in case you want to eat more than you should because you've like 'conditioned' yourself to want to eat at night. you could try planning your meals the day before too, so you can spread your calories out fairly evenly throughout the day. good luck!!

this is good advice. i used to have the same problem. meal planning is a great tool. another important thing is not to deny yourself treats. what i used to do was eat healthy during the day, but then eat all the "bad" stuff i was craving at night. now i eat the "bad" stuff for breakfast or in small portions during the day, and that gets rid of my cravings at night. so does planning ahead--if i know i am allowing myself to eat the cake or candy the next day for a snack, im less likely to binge on it in the moment the night before. also you will find that if you allow yourself to relax about foods and don't divide food into groups (daytime/healthy/good portions vs. nighttime/unhealthy/uncontrolled portions) then your cravings will decrease over time.

Meal plan went different-

B: Weetabix w/ almond milk and almonds, piece of toast w/ natural peanut butter
S1: An Apple
L: Burrito w/ lots of grilled vegetables w/ cheese, 1/2 cup mexican rice
S2: Chocolate berry protein crunch bar

S3: 8 Cinnamon graham crackers, Wild berry tea

brunch: cinnamon oatmeal w/ a banana, mixed nuts & raisins

snack: strawberry yogurt mixed w/ strawberries & some almonds

dinner: taco bell zesty chicken bowl w/o dressing andddd a kfc biscuit w/ a small piece of chicken & gravy.. because my mom was eating kfc today haha

snack: green apple w/ peanut butter

snack: sugar free vanilla ice cream sandwich
