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

Far from it... I eat the english muffins, and they are very dense and chewy.  However, if you like a sweeter bread (like honey wheat or something) you prob. won't like it.  It is so much better for you, though, and the nutritionals as far as micronutrients are fantastic. 

Breakfast: cottage cheese with cinnamon and splenda, pineapple.

Lunch: a big ol slice of kabocha and okara (no not okra,but okara! It's this delicious soy thing that is awesome! It's tofu!)

Hey hericot, incase you didn't read what the topic said, I'll tell you. DO NOT POST IF YOU'RE NOT EATING ENOUGH. You are clearly under eating. This forum is to encourage healthy eating, not eating disorders. Thanks.

i know, jeez. those posts are so annoying. are you just crying out for attention or what?

you guys took the words right out of my mouth.  A weird day?  How bout a sick day?  That's, like, no food.

No, you don't understand... i didn't have time to eat throughout the day- I was too busy. a bag of grapes is the kind you buy from the store-it's really a lot of food. Did you know that there are actually people who are "raw foodists" ? I'm not one... but if this is a sick day... iddkk

Yeah and I think raw foodism is nutso as well... though you can do it and still get enough cals, depending on what you eat.  I know an entire bag of grapes may SEEM like a lot of food, but it has a high water content, so very few calories in the long run.  Plus, all calories aside, you got like zero protein in all that.  I'm really not trying to criticize too heavily or to come off as rude... trust me, it's for your own good to eat enough.  If you don't, your body thinks you are starving and starts storing fat like crazy.  Aside from that, you don't get the nutrients you need which are especially important for growing teens.  You need protein and calcium, for example, to make sure you don't get osteoporosis when you're old.  Also making a habit of undereating is one way to get an eating disorder... I know, because it happened to me.  I understand being busy but when I have a busy day I make sure I get enough calories by either packing some snacks to take with me or, if I'm not prepared, at least stopping by a gas station and grabbing some nuts crackers or SOMETHING... because if I don't eat enough I just don't have any energy to get through the day.  Sorry for this long post, I'm just trying to help, honestly.
