LOCKED TOPIC

YCCer's: What did YOU eat today? [11th to 18th of Feb 09]

Welcome to the YCCers: What did YOU eat today thread for the week starting the 11th of Feb, to the 18th 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 thread involving need for constant post deletion thanks to undereaters, and it generally being outdated, we've decided to start a new WDYET?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!

Had a rough evening but journaled on it. However it prevented me posting my previous day's menu so I'll do both that one and yesterday's now.

09/02/09

B: Oatbran/meal mix with made with soy milk choc chip peanut butter, cocoa powder, blueberries, and lemon curd. Two slices wholemeal toast with more lemon curd. Added some dairy free butter to the toast and also had a glass of soy milk.

S: A bowl of edamame beans drizzled with sesame oil, sesame seeds sprinkled over, and cayenne pepper.

L: Chicken casserole and dumplings with white rice (no brown) and a dark green salad dressed with balsamic and olive oil.

S: Dried fruit salad of dates, prunes, apricots, dried pears and dried peaches again. Still not the greatest fan of the dried peaches. (UK-ers, this is in Holland and Barrett.)

D: Spag-bol with WW spaghetti: beef mince bolognese made with mushrooms, carrots, garlic, olive oil, and black olives. I grated soy cheese onto mine, whilst others had parmesan. Had some steamed veg on the side as well. Mum bought these Bird's Eye steamer bags, for some reason - I can't see the point. I'd rather just buy the veg and steam it myself.

S: Tin of sardines in tomato sauce on four slices of WW toast, with olive oil and basil added to the sardine mix.

10/02/09 - I slipped here, having a bad morning. But where it began poorly, I made up for it. Unfortunately, my evening was equally bad - though not in terms of a menu. Again, journaled, though.

B: Bowl of oatbran with soy milk and raisins.

Early L: Mum met me in town and we went to lunch. Sausages, mixed veg, and thick cut chips :D I wanted a steak pie but they were sold out.

S: A 68g Nak'd bar broken over a large bowlful of strawberry Tofutti ice cream with a fistful of cashews and a fistful of sunflower seeds.

S: The last of the chicken casserole and dumpings, with two slices of WW toast (and dairy free butter) for mopping.

D: More spaghetti bolognese, as last night.

S: I was pretty upset by this point and admit, I had a bit of a cram. Very large bowl of oatmeal and bran, made with soya milk, dates, apricots, banana, cashew nuts, and honey.

akreutzer42: 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.

Don't post your menus if you're not making 1500. And even if you DID make 1500, if you've got a basketball game, you should be eating a LOT more than you have done today.
