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

WOW! picklepug31 youve done fantastic! and it all sounds so yum! perhaps you could just let me move in with you ;) hahahaha!

Breakfast: oatmeal made with skim. milk, steamed rhubarb, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Snack: wholewheat toast with soynut butter, jam and banana.

Lunch: wholewheat pitta bread, with a grilled veggie burger, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber.

Snack: an apple, a pear, strawberries, melon, mango, raspberries, all topped with yoghurt and crunchy nut clusters (choco curls) granola.

Dinner: 2 peppered Quorn steaks, with baked aubergine and courgettes, steamed tomatoes, butter beans and a wholegrain tortilla.

Snack: NAKD raw food bar, 6 dates and a banana milkshake.

Before bed: 2 instant hot chocolates.

this is actually what i will eat today.

breakfast: a whole grapefruit, an organic whole-milk banana yogurt, a homemade oatmeal applesauce muffin, an omelette made with 1 organic whole-egg and 2 whites and a light hot chocolate with mint tea (kills my chocolate craving).

lunch: whole grain bread, pumpkin seed butter, baby carrots, a glass of almond milk and unsalted soynuts.

snack: mint tea.

dinner: footlong whole-wheat veggie sub from subway with cucumber, tomato, green pepper and possibly lettuce, if i'm in the mood (it's not the BEST choice, but it's better than the big, fatty steak and cheesy potatoes my mom and her boyfriend are having).

• Dried Pineapple (this is AMAZING)

I'm not gonna lie---  I am the biggest fan of dried pineapple, EVER!  What kind did you have?  I don't like all that stuff thats like, crusted with sugar and junk.  The kind to get is the trader joes stuff... the rings.... it's just plain slices of pineapple, and they are dry.  And AMAZING.  Pineapple is one of my favorite things on the planet, and that dried stuff is like taking a bite of heaven.  Excecpt I could easily eat the whole bag, so the stuff is also kind of dangerous!  haha!

Anyway, I just moved home.  Yesterday was BAD-- goodbye party, etc.... lots of cake, chips, blehhhh I feel so bad.  So, today I'm going to back healthy, and this is my plan:

Breakfast: 1/4 fiber one with some coffee...  Oatmeal made with chopped frozen strawberries and butterscotch chips (and, naturally, tons of cinnamon!)

After gym:  Latte

Later/Lunch/whenever:  tortilla with refried beans

Snack sometime/part of lunch or dinner?: cucumber and tomato salad

Dinner:  I'm going grocery shopping, so this is probably going to change to something else (asparagus sounds good.. bell peppers...not sure yet), but if nothign else, my fallback is a can of amy's organic lentil soup

Snack:  pink lady apple, and 1/2 cup fiber one

More will be added as needed, I'm sure, but I'm trying to have a good outline set up, so I don't eat everything in sight, which is what always happens when I'm at home!  :-P
