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- Avocado on a piece of whole wheat toast and 4 oz lowfat yogurt on a cup of strawberries

Snack- A well-toasted whole wheat bagel

Lunch- 4 oz low fat ricotta topped w/a half oz walnuts, a serving of dried dates, and some fresh grapes w/a side of steamed broccoli

Snack- A banana-blueberry shake (made w/soymilk)

Supper- Homemade vegan split-pea soup garnished w/olive oil and curry, a serving of baby carrots, and a couple fiber crispbreads

Today I binged (at least for me):

B: 350 calories worth of cheerios
L: 1/2 chicken sandwich(plain), garden salad.
Afternoon: The other 1/2 of that sandwich, 4 oatmeal cookies, 4 oatmeal cookies worth of cookie dough, 1/2 apple.
D: nacho cheese chicken chalupa from taco bell(only 160 calories, yum!), diet pepsi
Night: 5 more oatmeal cookies, 7 oatmeal cookies worth of cookie dough, 300 calories worth of cereal, peach tea, 3/4 cup macaroni and cheese, 3 handfuls of some cracker things, 1 rice cake.

It sounds like you're not eating enough outside of your "binges". How many cals are you planning on eating each day? Undereating/deprivation can often trigger overeating. You might want to try upping your intake and allowing yourself A TREAT each day. That way you don't feel hungry or deprived.

From your profile:

 "Age: 16
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 107
Goal: stay same weight. loose the last bit of fat, gain muscle (I want to win at least ONE arm wrestle in my life!), and stopppp overeatinnnnggggggg.
HGW: I'm down from 122!"

I hope you realize that you were a very low weight to begin with and are now underweight. In your profile you say that you are "blessed to be thin" but I honestly don't think that you are naturally a BMI of 16.8. Very few people are. As I said, binging is often triggered by undereating. It can also be triggered by being too low of a weight for your body. When I was underweight, I would become insanely hungry if I had a bite of ANYTHING because my body was desperate for food. Have you been to a doctor recently? I don't know you, so I can't say any of this as fact, but it doesn't sound like you have a healthy relationship with food or are at your body's preferred weight.

Please take care of yourself. I've been down the road of EDs, and it's not fun. Plus, it won't help you in school in any fashion. I had to repeat 9th grade because of Anorexia.

 That sounds pretty good and balanced. Just be sure to get veggies in at dinner and maybe add some sort of dairy to your second and third snacks; eating carbs alone isn't the best for blood sugar. That could just be the hypoglycemic in me talking, though.;]

chocolate oatmeal....? whats that?

hey.. i was wondering.. aside from the lack off an efficient amount of calories (working on increasing), how does my day look? any improvements anyone can think of?

breakfast

oatmeal (130 calories) with 30 pieces of crunchy corn bran cereal (30 calories)

yogurt (60 calories)

2 pieces of toast (70 calories total) with one tbsp apple butter (30 calories) and one tbsp sugar free preserves (10 calories)

water

snack

rockstar low-carb energy drink (20 calories)

lunch

2 sugar-free peach fruit cups (50 calories total)

snack

popcorn (100 calories) with butter and cheese flavored seasonings (may add up to over 20 calories)

apple (70 calories?) with one tbsp + one tsp peanut butter (110 calories)

water

dinner

boneless, skinless chicken breast (100 calories)

corn on the cob (70 calories)

cauliflower (30 calories) with cheese seasoning (10 calories)

yogurt (60 calories) with cereal pieces (maybe about 40 calories)

do my basic foods look okay? is there anything i should add?

(by the way, this is a typical day but it does vary slightly. only thing that is constantly exactly the same is breakfast and i only have the rockstars like 3 times a week.)

i read you could mix cocoa powder with sweetener into your oatmeal. unfortunately it did NOT work and was too bitter, i ate half the bowl before getting a stomach-ache, lol.

garnet18 umm... just eat more. your basic foods look okay, aside from the fact that you're eating diet versions of stuff. also, where's your lunch?

lol, i don't eat a lot for lunch because it's at school. i don't like eating at school because i usually do some form of exercise before eating to raise my metabolism a little, but at school i'm just sitting in desks all day really drowsy. so my larger meals are at home.
