What did you eat today?

[XMcShiftersonX]

Anyone care to revive this thread? I was just reading around and found it. I've spent entirely too much time sitting here reading it. It's very interesting!
I don't eat breakfast. Unless we are on vacation or something.
Every morning, for my breakfast, I have a Mango Tango (Odwalla drink)
A few hours later, I usually eat something light...cucumbers dipped in salsa, carrots, an apple or sometimes hummus on one tortilla (folded in half)
Then I eat a normal dinner. No telling what they may ever be. I usually snack at night. It could be some chips and salsa or something sweet (if I made dessert)

Currently, I am on a raw diet with mostly liquid as my main "food". I am doing this for detoxing purposes only and will go back to regular food within a month. I find it very interesting that I am hungrier and want more filling foods in the cold weather. Eating all raw/juicing, I feel very, very cold (deep inside myself). Summer months I have done this, I was fine.

I know once I start riding full-time again, I will be hungrier too. I didn't mind as much what I ate when I knew I was exercising, but I found that I gained weight quick with bike-riding, which was interesting to me. I need to be careful about the food choices I make during that time.

Anyway, thanks for listening and if anyone cares to add more to this, that would be fun. What did you eat today?

That makes sense that you want more filling and warm food during the winter. It's comforting and fights the cold that you're feeling from the environment. Most animals hibernate during this time and put on extra weight. I think most people eat less during the summer. I, myself, find it hard to eat much hearty food during the summer when it's hot. I prefer cold and light things - love smoothies, fruit, cold sandwiches, etc. I've never had much of a problem with weight but I've listened to a lot of people talk about their losing weight tips and it seems like your diet may be opposite of what's recommended for weight loss. Most people recommend eating breakfast to jump start your metabolism for the day, and eat the bigger meals earlier in the day and have a small dinner. And to stop eating by 8pm at night. Just something to think about if you're interested in trying that.

So far today I've only eaten cream of wheat made with soy milk and brown sugar. I'm about to make some blueberry streussel muffins. I typically eat lunch late, like 3 in the afternoon. That's usually my biggest meal of the day, and then I usually have a light dinner or snack. I'm pretty bad most of the time about eating three square meals, I usually have a good breakfast and lunch and then by dinner I'm feeling lazy My husband usually cooks dinner so that's good, but on the days he's working I don't eat a good dinner.
