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!

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

This is the most satisfied I've felt in a while, satisfied without overfull, and I intend on snacking on some yogurt and blueberries before bed.

I reread French women don't get fat last night and it really helped me see that eating a bazillion low-calorie foods is non-productive and that small satisfying amounts of rich delicious food is key.

this is not a very good example of a healthy day of eating i just think it's a weird one so i would share.

package instant oatmeal (brown maple sugar) w/ cinnamon
cinnamon apple tea

1/2 cup basmati rice
1/4 cup green organic lentils
1/4 cup organic spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup broccoli florets and corn

2.5 servings canned petite diced tomatoes w/ garlic powder, cilantro, and sea salt

not nearly enough veggies. no fruit. not enough protein. but i'm low on food and making the best of it until tomorrow. comes out to about 1500 calories. more than i usually eat but not that much more, surprisingly, cause i did eat like a whole box of those wheat thins. well almost.

funny thing is i'm not full really. but i know it's because i'm used to get sooo much more fiber.

nvrmndtheb, I just wanted to say that your idea of a "not very good example of healthy eating" translates to a VERY healthy day compared to most Americans.  I mean, come on.  Oatmeal?  Lentils?  Broccoli?  Organic spaghetti sauce?  These are things that the majority of Americans NEVER get in their diets, and instead they are chowing down on hamburger helper and pizza.  So instead of thinking you didn't do well today, pat yourself on the back for eating better than most!  I think you did great.
