And now I'm hungry! I think I'll have a small (low-cal) snack!
Hmmmm let's see.....I don't have much of an appetite these days, but I try to eat until I'm full.
Breakfast/Lunch-ish (I woke up past eleven):
-90 calorie Special K Bites (strawberry)
-20 lucky charms marshmallows (ehehehe, I left all the cereal behind.)
-1/4 yellow pepper
-10 McDonalds french fries
-2 bites of a greek salad
-2 bottles of water
-1 cup of Grape Soda
Supper:
-Half of a large Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken Strips (I shared with my cousin)
-small piece of Apple Crumbly (OMG the best dessert I've ever had).
-1 bottle of water
Hmmmm I don't know how many calories that is. I'll go check.
breakfast. cup of light vanilla silk and a cup of kashi's black currant &walnut cereal.
lunch. lean cuisine's asian style potstickers.
dinner. 3/4 cup of spinach/tomato pasta with a cup of frozen spinach, half an avocado, a teaspoon of salsa, and one ounce of lisanatti's almond cheddar style cheese.
snacks. frozen grapes and a handful of brazil nuts.
I've been sick, maybe going through a phase or something, and I haven't been hungry the past few days. Today was the first day I got my appetite back! :] I didn't get my daily goal though- I was about a hundred calories away.

this can't add up to a decent number of calories. just don't post if you don't eat enough in a day. it's really becoming a huge issue in this thread.
breakfast- grape nuts w/ soy milk (250)
lunch- organic blue tortilla chips w/ veggie refried beans (300)
dinner- pan fried potato, cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini and cilantro on fried flat bread (400), chocolate soy milk (105)
snack- organic rounds w/ tofurky kielbasa slices (250), organic vanilla sandwich cookie (70)
snack- 1/2 plain baked potato (80), two slices organic whole grain flax seed bread w/ organic peanut butter and organic concord grape jelly (460)
total- 1915
i went over today. i don't mind a bit. i need to gain weight. : )
Original Post by deflepfan16:
Are we supposed to be adding up our cals on here??
no. but i wish some people would because it seems like a lot of people under eat on here which really makes the thread destructive and not constructive.
p.s. the picture of your legs on your profile, what's that from?
Pastel: As advice for upping your calories on your snacks, try having your carrot sticks with a bit of hummus, perhaps? [: Or a bit of PB on one of your slices of bread. Did you count in your burn from tennis on your cal total? Either way, your menu looks quite balanced so far - but don't forget to come back and update your dinner!
when_I_fly: I agree that I think people should show their calories totals if they want to. It's hard to tell when someone's eating enough or too little by "a bowl of oatmeal" and so on because you have no clue how big that bowl is... :\
emilyaussie: A hundred calories is a medium sized banana. [: If you fall by a small amount under, it's easy to catch up.
deflep: OMG! Someone else who cooks savoury oatmeal! <3 How are your legs, by the way? x: Has the bruising gone down?
yesterday...
B: oatmeal with bran cereal mixed in, coffee with coffee mate, spoonful of almond butter
L: whole wheat wrap with avocado, hummus, tomato, romaine salad; carrots and cauliflower; babybel cheese
S: protein shake from trader joe's, banana, 2 apples, spoonful of almond butter
D: whole wheat wrap with black beans, avocado, romaine salad
S: nature valley granola bar, beer
today...
B: coffee with coffeemate creamer, flax granola with almond milk and banana, nature valley granola bar
L: whole wheat bagel with hummus, tomato, cucumber; part of a caramel frappuccino; 1/2 avocado
S: piece of cheese; apple
D: going to panera later.. probably soup and salad
S: cake! (it's my little sister's birthday)

Thanks for the advice! Hopefully we have some bananas around here... I'll have to check! I was just concerned that if I started eating that I wouldn't stop and I'd go waaaay over. But a banana seems just the ticket! :)

//I still need to add more stuff, auuhg. I will update this soon, no worries guys, I'm not going to be one of those little [explitives] that post insanely low amounts of calories, But this is difficult! anyone else feel bad when they get their calories up to a certain point?//
Dire: It's good you're eating more. Ignore that guilt, it's all in your head! Frozen bananas are amazing (I eat them in place of ice cream, damn lactose intolerance)! If you're low but full, eat calorie-dense food. A palmful of nuts, or make yourself a smoothie, oatmeal with something like dried fruit or nuts or nut butter included, or avocado if you have it... also, try having more of a serving of things in your meals or starchier vegetables. Like a whole potato, or some sweetcorn, or some beans. [: You ARE doing a lot better than you have before, but make sure you get that extra in! Keep it up!
Deflep: Ahh! :D I used to love having oatmeal with a bit of cheese, a bit of oregano and a very small amount of cayenne... it was good. ;__; Alas, no more. Also, hooray, I think I've found another person who can consume as much porridge as I do sometimes! Good to hear your legs are better.
Emilyaussie: That's no problem. :D Other foods that are around 100 calories and are good and healthy are hard boiled eggs (70-90 depending on size, don't listen to negativity about the yolks, they're so good for you!), or a small amount of nuts, or some dried fruit (about six average size dried prunes makes about 75ish calories. And omg, they taste like sweets ;__; it's so good). The hard boiled egg or nuts would work well though if you're worried about going overboard, as they've got protein in them and should help keep you feeling satiated.
lalabanana have you tried putting nut butter on a frozen banana? it is AMAZING. i've had it the past 3 days.
Ewwxroflzz: No, I haven't, but it sounds gooood. :D I have pb and banana toasties as dinner sometimes (... though usually with a bowl of veggies on the side) so that sounds an equally good combination. Yum.
lalabanana me too :) i also make pb and banana quesedillas, pb and banana oatmeal, pb and banana smoothies... i'm pretty sure the possibilities are endless!
If you don't feel like your cholesterol is high, no worries, right? Wrong. High cholesterol gives no warnings and could be deadly.
