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

ok so yesterday i ate what i wanted (for the most part), and i ate when i was hungry. it turned out to be SO much though! ahhh!!

does anybody have any friends/siblings who eat this much and maintain their weight? im pretty active(run 3 miles, swim 1 1/2 miles/day).    thanks!

breakfast-   Fage 0% greek yogurt w/ splenda,  1/2 cantaloupe melon,  2 slices double fiber wheat bread,  laughing cow light cheese wedge  

snack-   blueberry vitamuffin

lunch-   wrap w/ ~ 6 oz thanksgiving turkey, 1/2 cup stuffing, tomato, cucumber, and potato wedges,      can of green beans,  blueberry yogurt 

snack-   smores! 2 marshmallows, 2 chocolate graham cracker sheets 

dinner-    12" roastbeef subway w/ american cheese, veggies, mustard,    banana     

snacks-     100 cal. smartpop, 1/2 cup strawberry ice cream, handful goldfish  

beanaparker that looks reasonable for a teen girl who exercises so much. probably not even near enough. do you know how many calories you're supposed to be eating? there's a link in one of the starred posts at the top to a calculator

BEAN-hi, at your age +w/ your activity level, i think you can eat a lot more.  also, at 110 youre still very light, maybe bborderline underweight,  not sure for teens but you are growing and should expect some weight gain as you mature.

I have a wonderful plan today :)

Breakfast (just ate it): 3 scrambled egg whites with 2 tbsp salsa and 1 slice of light wheat bread. I mugful of vanilla chai tea with literally a splash of skim milk and a sweet and low (SO DELICIOUS).

Lunch: 1 scooped multigrain bagel with light cream cheese, 1/4 of an avocado, and 4 oz lox 

Snack: a large salad made with 3 cups spring mix lettuce (mixed greens like spinach and cabbage - REALLY good and nutritious), a clementine, chopped strawberries, sliced apple, and 1/2 of a large banana, then I'm going to use lite unsweetened applesauce for dressing - I've discovered I really LOVE the taste of fruit in a vegetable salad - the sweet combination with the lettuce is really really good. if I were to make this salad a meal instead of a snack I'd throw in some goat cheese and grilled shrimp, but it's a snack and we're going out to eat.

Dinner: we're going out to a sushi restauraunt - I'm going to get edamame and a tuna roll. I'll maybe pick off some rice but I always idly do that anyway. 

When I get home if my parents are eating desert maybe I'll have another cup of chai tea with skim milk and sweet and low. Then I have to get up in the middle of the night and take a bus back to college so right before I get on the bus (2:30 am or so) I'm going to have a half of a cup fiber one dry with a clementine. I'm counting that on today's food log technically. 

hey:)

I think my post above totaled to about 2400 calories. my sedentary maintanance is 1600, and then i add on exercise. roughly 100 for every mile i run, and 200 for every mile i swim.  sooo... i was 2-300 calories above my maintaince level. i guess not too bad.

im NOT restricting myself AT ALL anymore. itll be hard at first to pretend i dont care about how many calories i eat, but hopefully ill get over it!

This is for today:

Breakfast- Fage 0% greek yogurt w/ splenda, english muffin, spoonful of peanut butter

Snack- string cheese, 2 clementines, toasted marshmallow

Lunch- Ham and cheese sandwich on wheat bread, 2 homemade snickerdoodles, banana

*will update later*

beanaparker, why don't you just go with it? Give this freestyle diet an honest try for 2-3 weeks and see where it lands you. If you have gained weight (which is no big deal, at your age/size you can lose it super quick), then maybe you should cut down by 200 calories or so. If you're the same weight, then you know it's the right diet for you. It's worth finding out.  Let us know how it turns out!

P.S. I've been having a toasted marshmallow or two every day as well, lol. Yum, I love sitting by the fireplace in winter.
