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

tothestarsxx - :0! You have poptarts?! What kind? Share with meee~? (Just don't give me the whole box because that'd be cruel as I'd end up eating it all at once. I love poptarts so much.)

kaybug- Mmm they're the best poptarts in the whole world! I found them at Costco, they're organic, and almost vegan (I think whey and honey are at the very end of the ingredient list). They're the perfect amount of sweetness and so far I've found it impossible to binge on them! ;) I'd share them with you if I could :D

Today was unhealthily carb-heavy:

• B:2 cups of coffee, 4 slices of bread
• L:2 cups of cereal, 1 cup of milk, 2 slices of bread
• D:3 slices of white cake w/white buttercream frosting (birthday event), 2 slices of bread
• S:1 tall, skinny Vanilla Latte from Starbucks

I was doing fine--keeping myself on the low end of my caloric intake range...until the cake. Of course, I regret having taken 3 instead of simply 1 slice. <_< What was I thinking?

holy crap. you ate a combination of carbs and dairy the whole day. haha.
it's cool though. only one day won't hurt. especially when it's a special day.

I'm so confused about what I'm eating right now does this look like a good maintenance MP to you guys? It comes out at about 1500 but that seems to be all I can eat without gaining.

i know how you feel. my maintenance is pretty low too but i think it might just be because i'm a bit older then everyone. (i'm 22. shhhh, don't tell anyone. i don't want to go join the adults. they're no fun :P)

you could try to gradually up your calories even by as small an increment as 50 and see what that does. every few days add 50 more and see if you body gets used to it.

so i didn't eat enough today because i've had the flu for the past 3 days. i've lost weight too. :( but that means i just get to eat it back. :) :) haha.

today was my biggest food day in three days so you can imagine how i'm feeling.

breakfast
plain soy yogurt w/ strawberry banana flax seed oil

lunch
no chicken noodle soup; clementine

dinner
tofurky keilbasa on whole grain bread w/ ketchup, sauteed onion, soy nacho cheese and veganaise; soy milk ( this hurt my stomach but i was hungry!!! i want real food!)

snack
no chicken noodle soup, yet again.

hopefully tomorrow will be better. i never thought i could get sick of soup.
