What did you eat today?

yesterday:

breakfast: 3 eggo nutri-grain waffles with margarine and light pancake syrup, plus tea with sugar.

lunch: tuna salad, avocado, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato on spinach wrap with diet coke

dinner: barilla spinach and cheese tortellini (1 cup) topped with margarine and shaved parmesan cheese

Also had some wheat thins before dinner and another diet coke with dinner. Usually I have orange juice with dinner but I was in a bad mood so I splurged with a soda.

today:

same breakfast.

lunch: muenster cheese on rye with tomato and russian dressing, plus a pickle.

dinner: 1/2 a cheese Tombstone pizza

Also more wheat thins before dinner. I don't usually snack like that but I expect it will continue until I finish the damn box (1-2 more days). And I had a couple of orange sticks (chocolate filled with orange jelly).

Tomorrow I will have the same breakfast, because it's what I always eat, unless I'm doing a long bike ride in which case I increase it to 4 waffles, or if I'm at my parents' house and it's Sunday, because then my mother will make breakfast for us. In summer I put fresh blueberries on the waffles.

For lunch tomorrow I'll probably go to Noodles & Co., in which case I'll have whole grain linguini with either mushroom stroganoff sauce and extra mushrooms or with a tomato cream sauce with mushrooms, tomatoes and extra spinach.

And lots of diet coke. It's my addiction.

p.s. grapes are on sale this week so my snack for the next week will be grapes.

This morning I went downstairs at 6 AM, to find 2 freshly made waffles waiting for me. I added 2 pieces of turkey bacon and a sliced peach from the farm stand, and coffee.
Oh oh. Writing this down made me remember that I forgot to take my calcium, and drink my V8. I guess the waffles startled me so much, I forgot my normal routine.
I wish I could have ridden to my internship today. I was jealous when DH rode off, even though it's 49 F out right now. I will ride (a very short ride) when I get home.

Oy, I started my day off in the wrong way again...but I was late so I skipped making my own breakfast (I need to stop this).

B: cinnamon chip scone, coffee w skim milk
S: none
L: 1 slice leftvover veggie pizza, 2 cups frozen veggies
S: none
D: not sure...probably leftover portuguese kale soup with french bread and a salad.

No snacking for me today since I'll be on the test floor or in the lab all day and no food or drink is allowed. I have to remind myself at least once an hour to go get a drink of water at least or I'll be terribly dehydrated by the end of the day, too.

I really need to stop reading this thread. Everytime I read a post, I get hungry. Some of the meals that you are eating sound sooo good. :) Question though - does anyone on TE ever have a glass of wine or bottle of beer in the evening to unwind? Or am I the only one? :p

Okay, if I'm confessing...2 glasses. Preferably red wine since it's healthy. :D

What did I eat today...so far a bowl of great grains with soy milk, and at break I had a cup of black coffee. Lunch is at Chipotle today so it'll be a burrito bowl with guac...YUM!! :p

Once I started cycling and lifting weights, I had to increase my caloric intake by about 500 calories because I kept gaining weight on my prior 1400 calorie/day "diet". It feels like a real chore for me to hit 1900-2000 calories a day, especially with healthy food. But, I started dropping weight once I did.

Today I've had/plan to have:

B: cinnamon raisin bagel with 2 TBSP light cream cheese, coffee + creamer

S: strawberry nutrigrain bar

L: Salad with grilled chicken and a diet pepsi

S: an apple with a TBSP of peanut butter

D: Leftover Kielbasa with scalloped potatoes

hmm.. according to livestrong, I'm only at 1300 calories, and tonight's a ride night. crap. Guess I'll throw in some ice cream for dessert and a pre-ride snack.

Breakfast - one egg with whole grain toast, oj and coffee
Snack - Granola bar
Lunch - Broccoli and beef; rice
Dinner - Red leaf lettuce salad, with cucumbers, tomatoes, red peppers, blue cheese sprinkles, cut up ham, and olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing

Errrr . . . I just ate a bay of M&Ms.

Here's a general healthy eating guide:
http://www.completefitness.com.au/ar...oodpyramid.jpg
http://www.co.st-lawrence.ny.us/Offi...ewPyramid2.gif

It's anyone's guess as to how all the highly processed 'foods' we Americans tend to eat would fit into these categories.

Where's the beer and wine food group???:D

Ugh another bad start today. My co-teacher brought me specifically a donut from Lamar's (heaven) without my permission. So I ate it. That was after 45 minutes swimming though sooo... still bad :D

Lunch:
A cup of Sweet and sour tofu stir fry (not that thick sweet and sour go
Steamed carrots
Low sodium egg drop soup

Afternoon snack: Banana

Ten mile leisurely bike ride

Dinner:
8 oz Silk light chocolate soymilk
8 oz orange juice
A bowl of brown rice scrambled with two eggs and plenty of kimchi <3

I had one of my left over mushroom and black bean whole wheat burritos for lunch, with an apple. snack was string cheese.
When I got home, I ate one slice of whole wheat bread with a little soy nut butter. Then I went for a 2-3 mile hike in the conservation land, including an uphill portion that is about a 25% grade at 2 points.
Dinner was one chicken breast, rubbed with curry powder, with an apricot jam/lemon juice sauce, sauteed in olive oil. I ate about a cup of whole wheat couscous, and a salad with romaine, grape tomatoes, and a tsp of vinagrette dressing. I did have a glass of red wine and my dessert was as always, 2 squares of dark chocolate.

Today:

"pre-breakfast" (oh-dark-30 before a breakfast meeting) - 2 slices light whole wheat toast with homemade apple butter
breakfast - steel cut oats with 1/2 banana and 1 T brown sugar
snack - yogurt, coffee with chocolate soy milk
lunch - Flatout light Italian wrap with 3 oz turkey, lettuce, mushrooms
snack - grapefruit
dinner (as soon as I get home from work will be...)- 4 oz fish simmered with tomatoes, mushrooms & onions. Wild rice. Steamed broccoli & cauliflower. Big green salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette. Depending upon my mood, I may skip the rice in favor of red wine. ;) I only have 6.5 WW points left to spend on dinner, so I can't have both.

In college, a friend of mine got by on what she referred to as the "-ine" (een) food groups ... as in "Caffeine. Saltines. Nicotine".
:rolleyes:

Today was a special day for me, so DH made dinner - eggplant parm and pasta and we split a bottle of cab. Yummmmmmm

The five basic food groups: sugar, salt, starch, grease and alcohol.

Monday nights in college I had band rehearsal at 6 pm (yes, I was in the marching band.) Dinner was usually a hot pretzel and a can of coke while standing in the hallway outside rehearsal room.

Ah, the good old days...

Today for lunch I went with the mushroom stroganoff from Noodles & Co. Also this morning I found a small bag of unsalted cashews that I had bought a couple of weeks ago during a long drive, so I had some of them for my pre-gym snack. Now for dinner I will have half a large baked potato topped with 2% milk cheddar cheese plus a glass of OJ.

Tomorrow for lunch I think I might go to Quiznos for an 8" tuna melt on wheat. With lots of pickles.

Today was a terrible food day. I've felt off all day, and what I ate probably didn't help:

B: bowl of cereal with 1% milk.
L: PB&J
S: another pumpkin spice frappucino. I at least get the small ones...
D: I had a late running group meeting (damn research) and BF's sick, so him cooking is probably a terrible idea. I had a bowl of cereal and one of applesauce. :/

That's not necessarily bad, depending on the kind of cereal.

B- Fage yogurt - 6 oz..... 1/2 of a blueberry muffin (thereby negating yogurt)
with plain latte

L- 3 oz fresh mozzarella with 2 slices of proscuitto and fresh basil leaves

D- IN-n-Out burger!!!!!

I thought twice about posting, but the first step towards recovery is always hard

breakfast this morning was a serving of steel cut oatmeal, cooked in a cup of skim milk, with a sprinkle of brown sugar and some cut up strawberries. I also had 2 slices of low salt ham and a cup of coffee, half a cup of V8.
My weight has stabilized after about 3 weeks of losing weight, without trying. This seems to be part of my fibro. flare ups. It was hard to eat more without eating badly, if you know what I mean. I didn't want to pig out and start eating a lot of junk and sugar, just to keep my weight up, because, believe me, I normally just look at something and gain. So, I had a few days of guiltlessly eating lots of good carbs and Indian food!
OK, gotta go read my group therapy text. Only 230 pages to go.

I'd been craving meat and had a steak on Sunday. As of last night I still had B.O. :p I guess the ground beef in the freezer will have to wait a couple of months.

I would like to enter the contest for the WORST diet of the day:

Breakfast:
Coffee with chocolate soymilk
Two strawberry Pop Tarts
Two DanActive "Probiotic Dairy Drinks"

Bike Ride (48 miles, pretty flat, avg. 17.5 mph, temp 95 hot degrees):
2 bottles Gatorade
Pack of HoneyStingers
1 Powerbar Gel

Lunch:
Large Carl's Jr. Strawberry Milkshake with Whipped Cream

Dinner:
3 slices Safeway Select lots-of-meat-on-it pizza (thin crust...which of course makes it so much more nutritious)
1 fresh pear
Lots of cherry tomatoes
Glass of skim milk

I may need some dessert later. You know, just to add some additional sugar and fat.

Good grief, I can't believe I've just admitted to this. My diet is not the greatest in general, but today was ATROCIOUS. But in my own defense, after a longish ride in the heat, my appetite gets really screwed up. Only certain things sound good. This doesn't explain the breakfast though :(

Today:

Breakfast: Coffee frappucino, skipped the whipped cream.

Lunch: Goldfish crackers.

Snack: handful of unsweetened banana chips and a bag of BBQ potato chips.

Dinner: Miso soup, tuna spicy rolls, and salmon sashimi.

I need to go shopping.

B: two slices organic whole grain bread with 1 T natural PB and 2 T of Susan's plum jam (damn...it's gone!!).
S: coffee with goats milk
L: left over grilled chicken w/ pesto, 1/4 c brown rice, 1 c leftover sauteed zucchini
S: PB choc chip cookie
D: 2 slices veggie pizza and 1/2 a diet coke

Not a good day, but not my worst ever. I feel like I'm forgetting something...I swear that I ate more than this today!

Yesterday:

B: Applesauce with cinnamon (I eat like a 5 year old sometimes...), and one of those bottled frappucino things (vanilla)
S: a couple of doughnut holes from the event I volunteered at.
L: Free pizza and a salad from the above event.
S: goldfish and chai with milk and sugar
D: Chicken coated in a mixture of salt, ground pepper, rosemary and thyme, cooked with onion, garlic, celery and carrot in a bit of butter and cooking sherry. Can of Blue Sky cream soda to drink.

Today:
B: white chocolate mocha from the campus Starbucks. I'm out of cereal and applesauce :(
L: PB&J and Dayquil
D: no idea, with a side of I'm lazy. We may be going to Applebee's to celebrate a friend's birthday, though.

Edit: We did end up going out. I got a burger and ate about half of it and most of the fries, a salad (ate all of it) and a very small bit of cheesecake for dessert.

Yesterday (fully supported ride, so I was eating what they had out) -

Started out with my usual breakfast, millet-rice-oatbran cereal with rice milk, walnuts and dried cranberries.

Two bottles of HEED (one scoop each)

Banana with a lot of PB
Some kind of granola bar

Sandwich: two slices wheat bread, two slices turkey-type pressed food product (yeah I know :rolleyes:), one leaf romaine lettuce, mustard, pickle slices, big handful of potato chips

Diluted Gatorade (thought I had HEED powder with me, turns out I was carrying an empty cylinder around :rolleyes:)

Banana with not quite so much PB
More diluted Gatorade and plain water

Recovery snack: Key lime Larabar

Dinner: black-eyed pea chili with ground beef :eek: (DH cooked). And beer. :) M**t three times in one week and twice in one day :eek: It's going to be a looooong time before I have any more.
[ETA: probably not that long if we wind up at family's for Thanksgiving]
[edit again: realistically probably going to be having m**t NEXT weekend - another fully supported two-day ride, and my body really needs protein on a long ride. They normally put cheese out, but I don't do well with dairy and exercise - and it's too much to hope that they'll have my usual standby when I'm fueling myself, tuna salad. :p]

Late night snack: dry cereal

b'fast A bowl of miso soup with tofu and scallions with left over rice.

Few pieces of "green & black" chocolate with almonds.

A small cup of frozen yogurt, strawberry flavor and double dutch chocolate.
Finished off the OJ in a carton of what little was in there.

nibbled on few thin slices of kalamata olive bread with smoked gouda. Each slice was like a silver dollar medallion size.

nibbling on smoked albacore tuna. It was a huge club a while ago...

half a peach and half a asian pear :D:D

hmm just been grazing. Working on a computer creating a web page for our cat rescue group. Just have to add hooks into MySQL and add a few forms here and there.

time to raid the fridge again. Stress eating...

My weight was down again yesterday and I seriously took it as permission to eat a lot. Good thing, because yesterday was Rosh Hashanah, which started by DH making raisin challah french toast, of which I ate 3 pieces, with 2 pieces of turkey bacon, oj (4oz) and coffee. Then the fun began. After services, we went to a friend's for lunch. I had: 4 slices of turkey breast, rolled up with 2 pieces of provolone cheese (not low fat). 2 potato knishes (little ones), a small slice of challah with a little bit of chopped liver on it, fruit salad, a small piece of noodle pudding with no cheese in it, and a rugelah with 2 cups of coffee.
And I was hungry when I got home, so at around 7:30, DH made proscuitto and mozzarella paninis.
Today we went for a hard 30 mile ride in CT. Breakfast was 2 scrambled eggs, a whole wheat bagel with low fat cream cheese and lox, and tea. I ate a Luna bar as rode for the first 15 miles and drank a bottle of Accelerade. Lunch was a soy nut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat, followed by 6 apricots. I drank another half of a bottle of Accelerade and some plain water for the second half of the ride. After the ride we stopped at a cafe where I had a raspberry and chocolate chip scone and a mint iced tea.
Dinner was way too much Chinese food: 3 little scallion pancakes (fried), 2 Peking beef rolled up pancakes, a little curry cicken, and brown rice.

I am stuffed.

Due to visiting a good friend in a rural area while in Ontario, I haven't been cycling for past 3 days. Great meals though...:rolleyes:

Yesterday at 8:30 am cooked/served by friend:
b- 3 small slices of peameal bacon, orange juice, 2 c. of tea with skim milk, scrambled eggs and leftover peach cobbler from yesterday. :D

snack on train of fruit bar and coffee

lunch/supper/I don't know- @ 3:00pm prepared by my mother after I buzzed back into Toronto before flying home to Vancouver:

white rice with homemade fresh tomato sauce and slices of chicken breast (I don't get picky ..when I hardly see mother ..for her to buy brown rice for me...it'll just sit around wasted at their home unused later.)

airport: blueberry muffin, coffee with milk

aircraft ride: juice, coffee


Messed up my meal/food intake due to 3-hr. time zone changes, hence have not eaten for past 16 hrs.

My bike ride today...is filling our empty refrigerator!

B: Sausage, egg, and veggie skillet (leftover from camping)
S: almonds
L: Lots of cooked veggies (lightly seasoned), string cheese

(plan for the rest of the day)
S: Apple slices and PB
D: Protein Shake (made with banana and soy milk)
S: 2 cups popcorn, 1 piece dark chocolate

ehm... what is string cheese? :o
