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 haven't posted much because I haven't been proud of the way I've been eating. I've been binging and it's been terrible. I accidently gained 15 lbs and now I need to lose *gulp* 25.

Breakfast: 1/2 cup fiber 1 with 1/2 cup blueberries and 1 cup skim milk. 1 slice of light wheat toast with a couple tablespoons natural peanut butter and a small amount of strawberry jelly

Lunch: Went to California Pizza Kitchen: 1/2 serving of salad: mixed greens with sliced pears and grilled shrimp with fat free balsamic vinaigrette. I fork dipped in my dressing. Then I had a cup of "creamless vegetarian" asparagus soup without the croutons. It was really yummy and healthy :)

yup! well i made the seitan and the brussels sprouts dish. i wasn't going to attempt a fake turkey but my brother is a vegetarian and he requested one. i used the turkey lunchmeat recipe from vegan dad but i read that some people thought it was a bit bland so i increased the poultry seasoning which resulted in it being slightly green... :P

I'M SO FULL!!! IT'S THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD TO FILL FULL ON HEALTHY LOW CAL FOODS AND NOT BE LOOKING AROUND FOR MORE FOOD AFTER I'VE EATEN ENOUGH!

Sorry for the excitement! Just I've been trying to cut to 1500 for a long time and I've always ruined it with sweets and cookies and basic crap, but LOOK - I had a treat! Banana with chocolate and peanut butter, a definite favorite of mine! And I'm still 150 cals UNDER my goal and I get to have some popcorn or a treat when I'm feeling less full :) What a good day!

Ugh this weekend has sucked in terms of eating. I've stayed within my calorie goal but I haven't been satisfied at all. I keep messing up my planning and eating the wrong foods, so I'm stuck having something low-cal and unsatisfying for dinner.  Bleh.

Saturday:

10am: ritz crackers w/ milk, steamed vegetable bun

11am: chocolate pocky

2pm: steamed white rice w/ lentils, egg curry & buttermilk

4pm: roasted marshmallows

I planned this day out and it will be much more satisfying than the previous 2 days. Amazing how a little planning can completely change the profile of your diet from one day to the next without changing the amount of calories. Your post reminds me of that, lafoutloud01. I'm glad you had a satisfying and successful day :)
