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'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.

haha 22 is still a 'young calorie counter'.. sort of.. yeah i want to be able to maintain on about 1800 since everyone else seems to be able to :| i only just increased to 1500 though and i've APPARENTLY gained 1.5lbs since saturday. my metabolism hates me.

 WHENIFLY-i think you might THINK you have a slow metabolism or whatever bc youre older, but maybe bc the weight trying to maintain is too low and therefore requires less calories but if you got to a better weight, you could eat a bit more and your body would be happy.

 im 25 and eat more than you, its not the age, not yet.

Man I feel so disgusted and icky. I know I haven't been a vegetarian for awhile, but I've been really serious about reading labels and staying informed, all sorts of stuff like that. I assumed Yoplait was vegetarian since it was just normal ol' dairy, and so I never read the label. I was sweetly enjoying my yogurt today and decided to read the label for fun, and then I discovered it had gelatin in it. ;~; I hate making things go to waste so I finished it, and put the rest of the yogurts on my mom's shelf in the fridge so she could eat the rest.

I feel so dirty about eating that. Note to self: never procrastinate reading stuff like that again!

OK, so yesterday was a really awful day (I had the biggest fight yet with my best friend, I found out my other closest friend may be sectioned, my friend with an ED is spiraling downward, I had arguments with everyone in my family, got a crap grade for a mock exam essay and I am insanely stressed out over coursework which I have to get an A in) which all accumulated to me binging/emotionally eating horrid amount of food.
