What did you eat today?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Here's a general healthy eating guide:



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???

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

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.

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

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


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

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

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.

[JH-NV]

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

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

[Owlie]

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.

[GLC1968]

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!
