LOCKED TOPIC

YCC THREAD: what did you eat today?? Week of 7/27-8/3

FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 20-JULY 26TH 

There are many threads for older individuals, and those who cook for themselves, live alone, and maybe have a different experience than you tenns. So, the goal here is to have examples from CCers who might be more similar to you in terms of living arrangements and overall experiences on a daily basis. Everyone is free to post and I hope you all find it helpful. 

Please be aware of these rules before you post:

1) Any menu that does not total or appear to total at least 1500 calories for a female under 21 or 1800 for a male under 21 will be removed. Please remember the minimum guidelines for a female and male under 21 are as above and are the sedentary minimums; if you work out, or are not very short and very small you will need more than this. Consumption of less than this comes with a great many related dangers, even if it is only by 100 or 200 calories and can stunt growth and development in the long run. To work out what you need, remember CC's tools are inaccurate for under 21's and so use this calculator instead: http://www.bcm.edu/cnrc/bodycomp/bmiz2.html as you are still growing. Yes, even in the later years - there's more going on inside of you that you simply can't see. And if the numbers are confusing you or you'd like help with meal ideas and calorie breakdowns feel free to PM me! I'm happy to help with the maths if it means that no one is starving themselves unduly.

2) If you are older than 21 please make this known before you post your intake.The minimum intake for a sedentary female over 21 is 1200 calories per day.However, I ask you state your age simply because I do not want to get you confused with someone under 21 and delete a menu unknowingly. If you don't state your age, and your menu is clearly below 1500, it will be removed per Rule 1.

3) Try to keep it positive, please. Ranting is okay but remember you can rant in your journals - and it's usually a better place to rant, as you can moderate your own journals rather than write something up here. Furthermore, please remember one day of "crummy" eating isn't going to hurt you, and watch use of the word "binge" - binge eating is a very serious problem, not someone eating an extra couple hundred calories or up to maintanance calories one day, or a large meal, or going for seconds. Still, try to keep it positive over negative, please! :]

And do remember - there will be teens here with differing goals to you. Gaining, maintaining, losing. Don't compare yourself to others - so long as you are healthy and eating enough for what you need, while not in violation of any of these rules, it doesn't matter what anyone else does! Be selfish! x]

4) Don't post a menu if it isn't complete. I'm personally tired of seeing people putting their breakfast, and then a whole menu of "will update" but never updating it. Even if it means you post your menu at the end of every day.

5) Please abide by the YCC Rules when you make your post. They can be found here:~*YCC Forum Rules - Please read before posting*~

6) Please abide by the Posting Guidelines when you make your post, as expected of you ANY time you post in this forum.

7) If you see a violation of any of the above, please report it to a moderator.Moderators can be found in the lists at the top of each forum or recognised by the little CC sun next to their names. I am one of them. Hello!

8) If you have any questions you would like to raise of a moderator, again, please do feel free to shoot us a private message. I know I am, for one, happy to help with any queries.

Beyond that, happy posting!

why do all these threads keep getting locked?

Because CC supports sustainable weight management, not starvation diets. We're not a pro-ana site and posting daily intakes that are really low promotes unhealthy behaviour.

I am 5'8", 137lbs, 22 years old and maintaining! My menu for yesterday:

Fat - 24.2% (51 grams)
Protein - 23.4% (112 grams)
Carbohydrates - 52.4% (250 grams)
Alcohol - 0%
Other - 0%

Daily Sodium Intake - 1,483 mg
Daily Sugar Intake - 130 grams
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 309 mg

Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 12 grams

Daily Fiber Intake - 65 grams

Breakfast: bran cereal with plain yoghurt; scrambled eggs; a slice of papaya and a pear

Snacks: milk for cups of tea; handful of walnuts

Lunch: lentil, tomato and pumpkin soup and a big plate of stirfried vegetables with sesame oil and lots of fresh coriander

Snacks: fresh red and yellow dates; a tomato; another pear

Dinner: chicken breast with amatriciana sauce - pancetta, garlic, tomato, herbs and olive oil - with steamed broccoli and cauliflower

Total: 1800. Would have been a little higher if I hadn't overdone it over the weekend

32 years old.  Eating to maintain, but still losing slowly.  Today was a low-calorie day for me.  Only 1700 calories (20% from fat; 25% from protein; 55% from carbs; 2200 mg sodium; 25 g fibre)

Breakfast: Two slices of multigrain toast with smoked salmon cream cheese; glass of orange juice

Snack: carrot sticks dipped in hummus

Snack: protein shake (skim milk, frozen raspberries, protein powder)

Lunch/Dinner: chicken vegetable stir-fry (one chicken breast; tons and tons of zucchini, summer sqash, onion and red pepper; a little honey garlic sauce for flavour); an ounce of cake for dessert (I have leftover scraps in my fridge from a cake that had to be trimmed down to turn it into a mousse cake)

Snack: grapes

Snack: half a small strawberry cheesequake blizzard

Snack: tomato and an ounce of those Quaker crispy tortilla snacks

Snack: peach yogurt

It was a pretty snack-y day.  Normally, I'd have less snacks and three actual meals, but this worked out okay too.
