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

Enia, who seriously counts the number of blueberries they consume? That's extremely obsessive.

it's just like measuring it out in cups or TBS... etc.

 

Well fine. If you all think it's OK to continue disordered eating so be it. This thread can continue fueling eating disorders and making people feel as if eating normally is overeating.

To be honest I dont count out the amount of berries I consume, but I truly thankyou for assuming I am a 'obessive eater'. The reason I wrote it like that was because I put the amount that calorie count counts as a serving.

It's NOT ok to eat (what you consider..) to disordered. And furthermore, on that day I had reached 1872 calories. If you consider this undereating I am sorry that I made you feel as if you were overeating. But my goals are different from your goals prudence so for you to accuse me of undereating and eating as a disordered person (as you would call it) is completely unfair. For everyone else I am sorry if the amount of berries I put was triggering in any way, but to clarify (seeing as you must do this in order to explain to people how you eat) I do not count every ounce of food that goes into my mouth. As well when I post on this thread I do not put the exact amount of food I have ate either, I put my MAIN MEALS, and my MAIN SNACKS.   I didnt feel I needed to write out every tiny detail on this board, or else my post would be pages long. I do measure from time to time, but yes I am recovering from an ED, however I reach 1800 calories everyday. :) goodluck to everyone

disordered eating is not counting out portions. for recovering people, having others comment on their eating habits can triggering, especially negative ones like yours.

I don't see why she even had to explain herself...

Hi All,

There are many members on this site (especially in the Weight Loss forum) that count and weigh their food, myself included.  This does not always mean that they have disordered eating but rather that they are more conscious of what they are consuming as well as trying to improve their eating habits. 

If the 20 berries that enia had eaten were all that she had consumed all day that would be one thing.  But as she said, she consumed over 1800 calories that day.  That is anything but unhealthy.  Great job enia for eating over 1800 calories each day and I wish you all the best of luck and success in recovery.  :)

Please, if anyone feels that something is against Posting Guidelines or promotion of disordered eating, send me a private message with a link to the post and I will check it out.  But I do regularly check this thread especially as well as all the other topics in YCC. 

I think for the most part, the members in YCC are smart about their eating and are only trying to eat healthy or improve their eating habits. 

Can we please get this thread back on track as to what you guys have eaten for the day.  I myself have gotten some great snack and meal ideas from this thread.  :)

Just a reminder, teenagers need more calories than the average adult.  So be sure that you are eating enough.
