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

kittycandiet I don't get why that's your username when according to the stats you posted, your BMI is 18 making you underweight.

I am so, so SICK of people posting on these boards trying to lose weight when they are already unhealthily thin.

Be forewarned: this post is not vegetarian! Personal choice, I eat meat once in a while (I don't consider myself vegetarian anymore).

Breakfast: egg omelet w/ turkey & spinach; orange

Snack: red pear; cheese crackers w/ pb

Lunch: pb sandwich on whole wheat; another random slice of bread w/ pb; apple

Dinner: mini quiches, deviled eggs, veggies, chocolate covered pretzels, root beer- little portions of each thing but it still equaled a lot :/

when_i_fly_and_look_down, when I cook salmon I bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes and then sprinkle some kind of seasoning over it, usually smoked paprika or Mrs Dash. really easy and tasty!

Breakfast: oatmeal with walnuts and dried figs

Lunch: pb + j + banana on whole wheat, skim milk, apple, pear

Snack: Kashi peanut butter bar

Dinner: macaroni and soy cheeze, steamed broccoli and green beans

Snack: chocolate vanilla swirl frozen yogurt

B: 2 slices wholegrain toast, 1 tsp reduced sugar strawberry jam, 1 tsp honey

S: 1 med. banana

L: 6 inch lite sub [ham w/ peppers, pickles, cucumber, lettuce, chillis, cheese, ranch]

S: 2 clementines

D: Chicken kiev

does it matter how many ounces you are cooking? because i found things online saying to only cook it (a 5-ounce piece) 3-4 minutes each side at 400.

i'm so confused about baking. it seems that i get different advice in each place i look.

last night I cooked a 5.5 oz piece for 30 minutes. once a 3 oz piece was done after only 20 mins. but 25-30 minutes seems to be the ideal time, at least for my oven.

hmm...i think i under cooked the piece i made a few days ago then. i was paranoid that it was but everything i was looking at told me it wasn't. i'm definitely going to follow your directions next time. that seems like a more reasonable cooking time.

thanks. : )

i'm guessing this is talking about me since i'm the only one with 1/2 portions of fruit. i don't know why i choose half. it seemed like the right amount for how hungry i was at the time.

i know i could eat a whole apple or banana and i would be fine. but i didn't want to so i ate 1/2. my calories are fine and i think things are fairly balanced so that's really what i try to focus on i guess.

and the one slice of bread thing. i have that just about every morning w/ margarine and a 1/2 piece of fruit though i did feel like i needed to eat more in the morning which is why i added the shake today. though tomorrow i have a very long day so i think i might make oatmeal.

WHENIFLY-hi, so i know where youre coming from health wise from your previous posts, and i think that you are continuing pretty much w/ a pretty low calorie intake and considaring that as a "good amount", but im thinking it might be too little.  youre still young and day to day activities require energy, youe also still at a pretty low weight, rt, maybe being a few pounds higher-just numbers remember, will be better for you health wise-the more important factor, rt, so maybe a bit more food could be good as well as give you some more energy that youve also been looking for.  weight is just a number.

good luck and stay healthy

breakfast-

!!!  ichigo, where did you get vegan jello?! i wannntttt

lynleette they're actually really simple. i got this recipe... somewhere, i don't remember, off a blog. so it's not mine.

ingredients:
2 packages pillsbury crescent rolls (surprisingly vegan!)
6 oz tofutti cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
cherry preserves

preheat oven to 350 F.  seperate the dough into 8 rectangles (two small triangles each), press together the perforations.  stretch each rectangle to 10 inches long--i used a rolling pin for this, it's easier.  beat the tofutti, sugar, and lemon juice.  spread 1-2 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture on each pastry rectangle.  roll them up lengthwise like a jelly roll, then twist them to make little spirals, tucking the end underneath (did that make sense?) press a little indentation in the middle of each pastry and fill with about 1 tsp each cherry preserves. bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown.

not the healthiest things in the world, but oh well!!
