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 thread involving need for constant post deletion thanks to undereaters, and it generally being outdated, we've decided to start a new WDYET?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!

Original Post by tothestarsxx:

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

from wikipedia.. ;) lol:

"A kipper is a whole herring that has been split from tail to head, gutted, salted, and cold smoked."

"Kedgeree (or occasionally kitcherie, kitchari or kitchiri) is a dish consisting of flaked fish (usually smoked haddock), boiledrice, eggs and butter"

I always think of kedgeree as more of a fish risotto though, but that might just be the way my dad makes it! kind of creamy.

I am glad this post is working better than the old one. On the 11th, I will start up a fresh new thread to continue posting from. ALSO, I want to say a massive kudos to all of you regs - I mean it. You're proof and a light in the dark (or, rather, a light in the middle of those out to kill themselves eating too little or exercising too much, or a combo of both) in that you are teenagers and under 21's who eat properly and healthily!

Menu to follow.

Yesterday:

B: Scrambled eggs (three eggs) on three slices wholewheat toast, made with soya milk, mushrooms, and dairy free butter. Grilled tomatoes also on the side, and I had this with a glass of OJ and some red kidney beans (we had no baked beans :|).

S: A peanut and oat Trek bar and a medium sized banana.

L: Leftover chili con carne on brown rice, with corn on the cob (again!) topped with a pat of dairy free butter, and guacamole/salsa on the side. The kidney beans I didn't eat this morning I added to the chili to bulk it out a little. :D

S: As I nipped into town with my sister, a soya milk hot chocolate with marshmallows and mint syrup. Also got an apple pie Nak'd bar from Holland and Barrett before they shut - only a small one, though. :| Ah well. I think the choc made up for it as it was a large!

D: CHICKEN CASSEROLE WITH DUMPLINGS. \o/ Perfect wintery night in food. I had extra dumplings to make up the calories and I am also very willing to post the casserole recipe if anyone wants it. It's from (surprise surprise) BBC Good Food and is a little different from your usual casserole, but was an experiment, and worked! Also sided two slices of wholegrain toast to mop the gravy with.

S: More chili con carne on brown rice, and then some ginger oatcakes slathered with peanut butter and some unsalted peanuts themselves.


 ... lots of bread. Oh well! I do eat a lot of bread, but then, I try and make a lot of bread to compensate. :S It's quite easy and considering it gets eaten by my whole family it isn't a waste.

Yesterday:

B: oats cooked in skim milk with brazil nuts, dried figs, dates, and a banana

L: wheat bagel with roasted red pepper hummus, shredded romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and sprouts; plus my standard fat free plain yogurt and 2 apples :)
