LOCKED TOPIC

YCCers What did you eat today? SHARE MEALS HERE! 8/10-8/16

FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 10th TO AUGUST 16TH

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!

Not enough fruits and veggies today, but I did over an hour of cardio at the gym, went on a walk with my friend this morning and I went on a 7 mile uphill hike with my boyfriend. I was sooooo hungry all day. So my boyfriend suggested icecream, which I thought was a fine idea :)

it doesnt sound like you ate even CLOSE to the calories you need...

i mean c'mon! a 7 mile uphill hike? an hour of cardio at the gym? a walk with a friend? how many calories did you have?

Exercise: 20 minutes on elliptical then a 5 minute cool down, 20 minutes running on the treadmill, 5 minute cool down, 20 minutes on the nordic track for a total of 1 hour& 10 minutes cardio
