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

B: banana and soynut butter, small bowl fiber one with rice milk

S: apple and mountain mix mojo bar

L: wasa crackers, hummus, roasted red peppers, cucumber, grapes, broccoli and hummus, soy delicious icecream sandwich

S: hummus and wasa crackers, roasted red peppers

D: fiber one with rice milk, lots of grapes, hummus and crackers, dark chocolate, glass of red wine

errrr not that much variety today.. and quite a few treats.. oh well! (:

Breakfast: cottage cheese with cinnamon ad splenda. A little bit of Mom's oatmeal. Wasa (the light kine) crackers

Lunch: south beach diet orange beef (without the rice). Some baked sun chips

Snack: 1/2 a cup of cheerios. 1/2 a cup of non fat frozen vanilla yogurt 

Dinner: eggplant

Dessert: papaya and dried peas (don't ask!)

breakfast: oatmeal made with skim. milk, branflakes, cinnamon, brown sugar and 175g blueberries.

Lunch: wholewheat bread with soynut butter, sliced banana an apple and a pear.

Dinner: wholemeal pasta with veggie bacon, parsley and grated soy cheese

Snack: honey waffles cereal (dry)

Before bed: 2 instant hot chocolates

 

could you halpe me think of quick ideas for breakfast..i usually have oatmeal every morning because im always in a hurry

Egg white omlettes can be quick; and they're easy, delicious, and full of protein! You could also try making your own whole-grain waffles and freezing them. Then just defrost, heat, add some fresh fruit and BOOM = instant breakfast. Soy yogurt or nonfat yogurt is also a nice addition to add healthy bacteria and protein.

And of course, there's always muffins... homemade muffins that is. No packaged junk here. I have a great recipe, and I'm willing to share. I know it by heart so I can post it here right now! Try it out!

(Vegan) Breakfast Muffins (makes 4)

• 3/4 cup flour (I use half soy flour and half whole wheat)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp wheat bran
• 1/3 cup applesauce (may need more later if batter is thick)
• 1/2 cup pure pumpkin
• 2 tbsp toasted wheat germ
• 4 packets of Stevia Plus (organic plant sweetener)
• 1 tbsp of milled flaxseed + 3 tbsp water (or two egg whites)

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Lightly spray a muffin pan with nonstick olive oil spray.
3. Mix together the first five ingredients.
4. Mix together the flaxseed and water to replace eggs.
5. Mix together the remaining ingredients and add the "egg".
6. Blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture (may need more applesauce).
7. Bake in FOUR muffin tins for 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Enjoy!

The "weight gain" forum is over there. *pokes forum page* I'd highly reccommend reading the rules of this board before posting something like that. The fact that you're eating like that at only thirteen is also alarming. You do know that you can...

• Stop your growth
• Lose your period
• Become malnourished
• Suffer from loss of energy and interest
• Become obsessed with food (if an ED is in the works)
• and if it never stops, and you never get help, you can eventually, well, die.

If you're having "ED" like symptoms, please, please, see an adult who can help you.

Breakfast- Avocado on whole wheat toast and vanilla yogurt w/a cup of mixed berries.

Snack- A Zensoy cappuccino soymilk

Lunch- Avocado, spinach, and cilantro in a whole wheat pita; mixed bowl of tomatoes, baby carrots, grapes, and... kiwifruit!

Snack- Golden delicious apple w/an oz of cheddar almond cheese and a serving of whole wheat crackers

Supper- Homemade Greek stewed potatoes, green beans, and zucchini topped w/fat free feta; some artisan bread, and side salad of spinach w/grapes

B: Apple + 1 tbsp peanut butter + milk

S: Raisins

L: Brisket, grapes, strawberries, carrots, tomatoes

S: Mozzarella cheese stick

D: Chicken, broccolli, strawberries, apple sauce

S: Apple + 1 tsp peanut butter, chocolate
