YCCer's: What did YOU eat today? [5th of March to the 12th of March 09... err, and the 13th]

Welcome to the YCCers: What did YOU eat today thread for the week starting the 5th of March, to the 12th of March 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 thread involving need for constant post deletion thanks to undereaters, and it generally being outdated, we've decided to start a new WDYET?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!

Yum ^^

Yesterday:

Breakfast: 1 cup kashi heart to heart with 2 cups skim milk

Lunch: Salad with tuna steak, cauliflower, bell peppers, lemon juice, and dijon mustard

Wasn't hungry for my snack and knew I was going to dinner at 6 so I didn't eat one, I was STARVED only having eaten 550 calories and going into dinner

Dinner: green salad with ginger dressing, large sushi roll with tuna and avocado on the inside and salmon on the outside, 3 pieces salmon sashimi

Desert: Small amount of fat free frozen yogurt on top of 2 medium double chocolate chip cookies, grazed on a bowl of mixed candy (ate too much, felt a little sick)

"Snack": 1 shot of grappa, two shots of bicardi limon, one taken straight and one mixed with a splash of sprite and a splash of cranberry, "fruit punch" at a party (knew the host and all the guests so I knew it was ok, but I didn't know what was in it), and another drink with orange smirnoff and light cranberry juice (so definitely approximately 600 or 700 calories worth of alcohol :-/ - I really need to start to try and drink less when I'm out)

Got home and was hungry and wanted to avoid hangover so I grazed on a little kashi golean crunch and dried cranberries and a bottle of water.

Today is a new day.

breakfast: cheese and apricot preserves on white wheat bread, peanut butter trail mix bar, girl scout cookie

snack: cheese crackers (the vending machine kind...no shame)

snack: cocoa mole larabar

lunch: guacamole wrap (flour tortilla, lettuce, avocado, serrano peppers, lemon juice, plain lowfat yogurt)

dinner: lunch leftover

didnt do very well today.

Sorry guys! Lol, I'm so slow. I have to get into the habit of reposting! Thanks for reminding me, Boston!

Please continue on the new thread:
