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.

wow, yesterday BLEW. i was just so freaking hungry in the evening. i think it's because i had small, unsatisfying portions of high-cal stuff for 3 meals instead of 4-6 small healthy snacks. i don't know how some people say it's better to eat tiny bits of high-cal food. i definitely cannot do that.

11am: banana pancakes w/ syrup

1pm: eggplant parmesan w/ butter, mashed potatoes

6pm: steamed shrimp bun, crab dumplings w/ soy sauce

at this point i wasnt satisfied at ALL even though i had hit my calorie goal. so at 11 i let myself have a slice of apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream...nope still not satisfied so i had a plateful of leftover homemade fried rice. then i felt sick and went to sleep really disappointed in myself and frustrated.

edit: i just totaled it up and it was 2600 calories. i want to die...

12:30pm: pb+j sandwich on wholewheat; blueberries

2pm: luna bar

*track practice*

5:30pm: scrambled egg whites with melted cheddar

7pm: baby spinach-walnut-cranberry-feta salad with raspberry vinaigrette dressing

9:30pm: dannon light n fit yogurt with corn chex mixed in

hey calm down :) i don't know what your maintenance is but 2600 is AT MOST only 1,000 calories over maintenance (maybe less depending on your burn). don't worry about that, it's not even 1/3 of a lb. hope today was better for you though x

does anyone know how to make butternut squash a bit more exciting? i had some for dinner but i boiled it, like how you boil broccoli or potato or whatever and it didn't really taste of anything. :|

fayxo you can cut it up into rounds and brush on maple syrup then bake it for like 30 minutes at 400 F. once i made some yummy acorn squash by glazing on a mix of maple syrup, fig preserves, and ginger.

B: shredded wheat, skim milk, banana

L: multigrain pita chips, roasted red pepper hummus, red bell pepper, carrots, cucumber

S: two apples with peanut butter on both

D: health bread toasted with smart balance, bnut squash fries, scrambled egg whites, green beans (this dinner is just too good!)

S: skim milk

treat: dark chocolate hershey kiss!
