LOCKED TOPIC

YCCer's: What did YOU eat today? [4th to 11th of Feb 09]

Welcome to the YCCers: What did YOU eat today thread for the week starting the 4th of Feb, to the 11th of Feb 2009!

After various issues with the former "What did YOU eat today?" thread involving need for constant post deletion thanks to undereaters, and it generally being outdated, we've decided to start a new WDYET? thread for YCCers every week. Why? Because this way, it will be easier for us mods to work against those that post violations whilst still allowing you YCCers to post your menus (provided they meet the thread rules). It's also been updated to allow not just for teens, but YCCers generally. 

But to avoid the problems that caused the last WDYET? thread to be locked, be aware of these thread 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!

No, not to me, Fayxo, not if that's what you were craving! XD I love cantaloupe melon, personally. And that's not junk food! Though "disgusting go ahead bar thing that tasted like a dried up jammy dodger" made me laugh for a description.

I didn't eat real meals today, I just snacked!

• almond butter/tofu sandwich on whole wheat; apple
• another apple
• veggie burger in a whole wheat wrap; 2 plums
• blueberries + soy milk, microwaved
• 1/2 a cheese sandwich
• 2 bananas; handful of sesame seed chips
• Kashi vanilla hot cereal w/ spoonful of almond butter mixed in; some Ritz crackers; POM juice

06/02/09:

B: Oatbran/meal mixture made with dried dates, a large banana, cinnamon, soya milk and walnuts. This tastes like banana bread. x] Two hardboiled eggs. Soya milk cappuccino.

S: Hummus, crudites, and breadsticks. Finished the walnuts as well.

L: Leftover fish pie, broccoli, carrots. x] Glass of orange juice.

S: Sardines in tomato sauce, with some added oregano and olive oil, on three slices wholegrain toast. Yes, I ate a lot of fish this day. x: I seem to have days where I eat a lot of fish and then don't have much the rest of the week, haha.

D: The two remaining soy cheese stuffed chicken breasts, but atop brown rice and with tomato and basil sauce from the freezer. We make a lot of this, and I couldn't be bothered to blitz some up there and then. D; More broccoli coated in the sauce as it was on the turn.

S: Roasted a tin of chickpeas in garam masala, cayenne and olive oil and followed them with a banana, raspberry and vanilla soya yoghurt, and a soya milk hot chocolate with marshmalllows on top. |] Perfecto.


07/02/09

B: I ate leftover fish pie for breakfast. >__> WOO! But it did give me plenty of energy for my day at work. Coupled with orange juice and a couple of slices of wholegrain toast with dairy free butter.

S: Regular soya milk extra thick shake made with Fry's Peppermint Cream and cucumber. o: This was REALLY tasty. The mint cut through the cucumber but the cucumber was really cooling all things considered! It sounds odd but it was good!

L: A "ploughmans" ala Lala. Two sandwiches cut into four halves - four slices wholegrain toast, lettuce, mustard, marmite, soy cheddar, tomato, and the piste de resistance: cashew nut butter in place of dairy-free butter. Why? Because cashew nut butter is easily masked taste-wise but is higher calorie per tsp. Thus, the mustard, marmite, and cheddar covered it up - it tasted like usual butter! I like doing this when I know I will be on the move, and as I was working a stall this was very handy. I also got some more OJ from M+S :D

S: Admittedly, a bit late for my liking, but I didn't have another break until after work and we're not allowed more than one shake to a shift (fair enough!). So I had a big bowl of oats with cashew nut butter, cashews, honey and golden syrup, overcooked so it was almost "baked" and thick. x] Nom nom nom.

D: MUM MADE CHILI \o/ I kid you not, BEST smell to walk into when you're coming in from work. Chili con carne on a large jacket potato with "sour cream" (Tofutti!) and guacamole. She even got corn on the cob, so I had a grilled corn on the cob on the side drizzled with some olive oil. Yummers.

S: Tofutti strawberry ice cream, topped with cashews, frozen raspberries and a chocolate soy dessert. Two slices of toast with cashew nut butter.

thanks for the feedback! i know realistically i didn't really eat MASSIVE amounts of extreme junky stuff but i always feel like i'd rather get my calories from 'real food' as opposed to.. pre-packed things you know? like go ahead bars - i seem to have branded them 'fake food' hahahhaa. like they are made of plastic. nom. 

mashed where do you get your chai tea from? 

tothestarsxxx i want to try almond butter and tofu!! did you cook the tofu and if so how? 

lala my dad eats kippers for breakfast sometimes. makes the house nice and fragrant for the rest of the day :') 

Fayxo: Kippers for breakfast is pretty normal. I've eaten kedgeree a good many times as breakfast, but never fish pie! XD And eh, I don't blame you on the Go ahead bars - they're vile!

yesterday: 

breakfast: piece of whole wheat pita bread, with pb. 1 apple. coffee with milk.

lunch: carrots with hummus, bowl of lentil soup, pretzels.  

snack: 1 banana. 1 can of starbucks vanilla double shot espresso (this had 210 calories! and i looked at the ingredients and i couldn't pronounce half the words on the list...).

dinner: out to eat with friends. we shared a family size salad, made with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, olives, croutons, and italian dressing. 2 pieces of veggie pizza.

5 hours after dinner: 2 more pieces of veggie pizza. 

i felt icky all day yesterday. my sensitive stomach couldn't handle the espresso + the very buttery pizza. 

fayxo- First I pressed the sliced tofu between paper towels, but not for very long cuz I was impatient, then sauteed it in a tiiiiny bit of olive oil until very lightly browned on both sides. Paired with a tbsp of almond butter on light wheat bread! Actually it would've tasted much better with 2 or 3 tbsp of almond butta- that stuff's fabulous! :D

fayxo and lala- What are kippers and kedgeree? just curious :)
