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

Breakfast: uncooked oats w/ almond milk, cranberries, & raisins; green tea w/ honey

Lunch: peanut-chickpea stew w/ extra spinach; apple

Dinner: Boca burger (no bun); eggplant; sweet potato fries; ketchup on everything :]

Dessert/Snack: tba

I think my self-discipline is improving, although I fluctuate easily between 50-45% protein and 35-40% carb.  I stopped myself from using sugary, refined carbs as an emotional pick-me-up today, which I think is amazing, instead I opted for whole-wheat grains and fiber. 

B: Ham 'n' cheese sammich, coffee w/out sugar
L: Double ham 'n' chese sammich, chicken breast
D: Tuna melt stuffed bell pepper (yum!)
S: protein shake (have to make powder last till thursday ), grapes, banana, two ham-only sammiches, cup of fiber one

Antagonist: you know, your protein intake being that high doesn't really do much except stress your kidneys.

Upset stomach today, unfortunately. I suspect it’s due to the caffeine overload of yesterday and the fact that the delicious Lancashire hotpot I had at my second lunch (linner?) contained butter. Ow.

Ye olde menue of yesterdaye:

B: Four buckwheat pancakes (might be closer to a crepe for those of you in the US) stuffed and filled with a large mashed banana, blueberries a plenty, choc chip PB, honey, and natural soya yoghurt. Got a new tub after demolishing it the other day. This was particularly decadent.

L1: The last of the baked bean surprise with extra veggies with olive oil.

Snacks throughout the day: Trek and Nak’d bars, cashew nuts, PB sandwiches on wholegrain bread, homemade hummus and crudités, dried apricots.

L2: Lancashire hot pot - lamb mince, green beans, sweet potato, onions, tomatoes and red wine gravy with sliced potatoes on top. The spuds were cooked in butter. Ow.

D: Dad got an Indian takeaway so I had a coconut prawn curry with pilau rice and chana dahl, and poppadums.


… and about eight coffees made through the day with soya milk. Again, ow.

Edit- >O<

Edited: to add to menu

Guys, remember to come back and update your menus, please.

I'd like to state how hard it is to eat low residue and high calorie with all the things you shouldn't eat during a stomach upset taken out! Dx I was essentially following BRAT - bananas, rice, applesauce and toast - except we don't have any applesauce. So, um. Microwaved and peeled apples. D: Oh, and soya products, hoorah! But yes, very plain menu all said and done so don't expect to be thrilled.

Yesterday:

B: Four slices of white toast buttered with dairy free butter, then two of them with raspberry jam and two with apricot. A large banana. A pot of soya yoghurt - WITH HAPPY BACTERIA TO HELP MY GUT FLORA MMMmmMmm. :|

S: Peeled and mashed mixed potatoes (as in, half sweet to half maris piper) made with mustard, hummus, and soya milk, with a drizzle of olive oil to finish it off. Yes, I ate a bowl of mashed potatoes. >__>;

L: Homemade ravioli made with beef mince and tomatoes. We got some lasagna sheets and parcooked them, then wiped them with egg wash and put little balls of the filling over them before covering, cutting, letting them sit and finishing them off. They were okay; I've had better, but for the lack of options I had they worked. More mashed potatoes.

S: Three more slices of toast with boiled peeled apples mushed down.

D: Chicken and fragrant thai rice made fried egg rice stirfried with peeled boiled carrots, sweetcorn and a very small amount of chili. Finished it with another pot of soya yoghurt and more of the boiled apples.

S: Porridge made with the last of the boiled apples and another mashed banana.

Breakfast: eggs scrambled with a garden veggie patty, yogurt with wheat germ, coffee

Lunch: hummus and veggie (cucumber, bell peppers, romaine) sandwich on whole wheat bread, an apple, an ounce of almonds, skim milk

Snack: a banana and a few big pieces of a california roll

Dinner: boneless, skinless chicken breast cooked in olive oil over steamed vegetables (a bed of spinach, asparagus, and a mix of broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, and baby lima beans)

Snack: yogurt with blueberries

breakfast: pb & banana sandwich on an english muffin. coffee with milk.

lunch: salad, with green peppers, olives, carrots, and italian dressing. cup of chicken & rice soup.

snack: nonfat cinnamon yogurt. a couple of servings of pretzels. peppermint herbal tea.

dinner: bowl of mac & cheese and steamed broccoli. 

breakfast
eggie toast (aka egg in a basket), 1/2 grapefruit, plain soy yogurt w/ cinnamon and sucanat sugar, coffee w/ soy milk

lunch
half salmon roll, half california roll w/ wasabi and ginger

dinner
left over whole wheat rotini w/ nutritional yeast; vegetarian chili; couple pieces cocktail shrimp

snack
1 1/2 cherry ales; spicy bean burrito w/ red pepper, onion, tomato, guacamole and organic baby greens
today wasn't very balanced. it was pretty heavy on protein.

today- (i was ill so i stayed home, eats were weird, but I got enough)

b- chocolate soy milk, ice, almond butter and banana smoothie

l- peanut butter on sprouted grain bread with pineapple

s- pretzels and orange juice

d- scrambled eggs and ketchup, romaine with italian dressing

s- skim milk and a warm chocolate chip cookie

laurenmartin- don't post here if you are only eating 1024 calories. It'd be easy to ad calories to our menu... who eats 1.5 ounces of meat? Or only a quarter of a baked potato? Try 3-4 ounces, and a full baked potato, both foods are nutritious. Also, you should add some protein and fat to breakfast, and then I bet you'd be up to 1500, which in case you didn't know, is the bare minimum you should eat if you post here.

plan for tommorow-

b- bowl of flax flakes with skim milk and a glass of orange juice

s- coffee with no sugar added chocolate soy milk, cocoa powder and vanilla extract

l- sprouted grain bread with hummus and cucumber, carrots and an apple

s- banana and peanut butter

d- lentil soup and a mixed veggie salad with light italian dressing

s- steamed skim milk with grated nutmeg

• B-fast - Apple, Kashi Cereal Bar, PB Toast
• Snack - Celery & Cheese 
• La Unch - PB sammich & Kashi Cereal Bar 
• Snack - Lime Popsicle, Poptarts, and 3 bites of homemade funnel cake
• Dinrar - More bites of the homemade funnel cake & Pasta w/ Broccoli and Sweet Peas

Will update later. :3

i don't know if this is a nutritional experiment but i think lala is right. this can't be healthy. did you eat any veggies or fruit today?
