YCCer's: What did YOU eat today? [18th to 25th of Feb 09]

Welcome to the YCCers: What did YOU eat today thread for the week starting the 18th of Feb, to the 25th 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 thread involving need for constant post deletion thanks to undereaters, and it generally being outdated, we've decided to start a new WDYET?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!

i binged (cringe) this afternoon which is why i haven't posted any afternoon snacks but i thought i'd post my day up since i stayed on track for the rest of my meals. 

UK people: buy the wagamamas sauce! it comes in a jar and the ingredients are just like vegetables, spices and corn starch. it's spicy and amazing.

kaybug- i get it at my local health food store. i'm not sure whoelse carries them. sorry. :( i'm sure you could probably buy online though.

imperial & fayxo- sorry to hear about it. but you both did great today instead of letting the binge bring you down and get you off track. congrats. :)

Binge day yesterday - do you guys think this was like 5000 cals or what? I think it's actually possible I maybe gained a pound of fat

Breakfast: english muffin, egg, and cheese sandwich, bowl of smartstart with skim milk, coffee with splenda, big bowl of mixed fruit (melon and pineapple

Snack 2: 2 peanut butter patties and a thin mint

I feel TERRIBLE!! What should I do? 

lafoutloud01 - Lol. I've eaten over 7000 calories in a day before (it was binge fest!) and didn't gain a pound of fat. Even if you've eaten enough to gain, it takes eating that way over a period of time (ie one week) to really gain anything, so don't freak over that. :P And I would just continue as if nothing happened.. Well, not continue binging, but just eat normally. It happens to all of us. I give you kudos for still posting your menu.. I usually become too ashamed to post on the days I binge.

when_i_fly_and_look_down - Ahh. Well, I'll have to keep an eye out for them because they sure do sound neat! Worse case scenerio, sometime overtherainbow&throughthemedow when I have a job, I'll have to order 'em online.

Lunch: Leftovers!  Shanghai noodles and pan-fried fish dipped in egg from yesterday's lunch and dinner, respectively.

Dinner: Green beans, braised chicken wings with black bean (douchi) sauce on steamed white rice.

Snack: It was my brother's birthday, and so my family and I went out to a gelato place. (y'know, the kind that has 200+ flavours and lets you try as many as you want)  I suppose the sensible thing would've been to get a nice fruity sorbet in a cup, but when you're at an ice cream place and they have flavours like dark chocolate raspberry truffle and fresh, crispy waffle cones, well.. you can see where this is going. (note to self: the chocolate chili was also quite tasty, if rather startling) :P 

Yeah, I ate ice cream twice today :|  Eh, well,  tomorrow's a new day, I guess.

Bad bad past two weeks. (Journal entry says it all =|) but I've been determined to pick myself up over the last two days. =)

A binge is mindless, uncontrollable eating or eating beyond satiety. It's fine to have a day of "big eating" as it has been put. And if you did binge, okay. Don't kick yourself, it's a single day. Pick up, dust off, and move on. :]

Kaaayy. You are pretty.

Claire's birthday party day:

B: A bowl of oatmeal made with soya milk, dried dates, a large banana, honey and walnuts. Two hardboiled eggs and a glass of 100% orange juice. 

S: Extra thick soya Bournville (dark choc) and ginger nut Shakeaway shake.

L: Grilled PB and banana sandwiches (four slices of bread) with honey, and a pot of whole fat hummus with crudites.

I got sent home early from work as I managed to skin my thumb, and while it wasn't a bad injury, I went wobbly and fainted. =__=; Embarrassing. Still, I got home bang on the start of the party.

Party: I ate two fajitas with stirfried chicken and veg in fajita sauce, and three helpings of chili con carne, each with white rice. The fajitas were actually more scary than the chili because they had a premade sauce. So salty, but who cares, eh? When Claire cut the cake I had some strawberry Tofutti and cashews because I didn't want to feel left out. And then...

S: Two more fajitas, same fillings as above save I also grated on a lump of Lactofree cheese. Yummers.

Yesterday:

B: Chili con carne and white rice for breakfast! Paired with a large banana, halved and spread with peanut butter, and a 500ml glass of Lactofree milk.

L: I went out to lunch~ 6oz beef burger (patty, lettuce, tomato) on bun with chips. :D For UKers: Wetherspoons! It was just what I wanted, though I was torn between that and the sweet potato curry >_> We nipped into a Costa before the film so I got a large soy milk latte there too.

S: Nipped into Holland and Barrett on my way home and got a pasty. I can't remember what was in it - I think it was Italian? Something similar, but it was a tomato and herb-y filling in the pasty.

S: A bag of mixed nuts - cashews, pecans, walnuts, almonds.

D: ... a large bowlful of chili con carne and white rice. We have a lot of it right now! D: I did, however, steam and dress (olive oil) veg to go with.

S: I got a Nana's chocolate cookie from Holland and Barrett as well as my pasty, and zapped it in the microwave before scooping the last of the Tofutti on it. Delish.

Apparently I may have some sort of protein or B12 deficiency that is causing my recent edema thanks to new symptoms: cracks at the corners of my mouth, lots of using the loo, and a very swollen tum :| Urgh. My GP appointment is Thursday, though.

B: 3/4 cup of dry oatmeal (the heart healthy serving!) prepared with water, with dried apricots, sunflower seeds and cinnamon mixed in

L: skim milk, ice, banana and almond butter blended into a smoothie, with a cup of kashi heart to heart dry on the side

D: a cup of lentil soup, a big salad with italian dressing, kashi crackers

S: skim milk

Breakfast:
yogurt & cornflakes
some nuts

Lunch:
steamed vegetables (peas, green beans)
some fish
a slice of toast

Snack:
yogurt & cornflakes
an apple

Dinner:
porridge (with nuts & a banana)
