I think it would be nice to have a food thread in PW. One spot where food questions can go. I think food is one thing that does differ between men and women that lift. Being lighter on average means less calories. I think less calories necessitates more creativity.
So, I ask, what did you eat today? There’s a lot to steal from each other.
I’ll go though my day was not ideal.
11/9
M1: Post Cardio
Scrambled - 1 whole egg, .5 cup egg whites, 34g Feta
Coffee - I measure out 1 cup of 2% milk and use that through the day
M2:
56g string cheese
1 tbsp Nutella
M3:
2 cup Vegetable soup
1 tbsp Nutella <— I should not buy this stuff too tempting
M4:
2 scoop MD blended with a dash of cinnamon
2 baby twix <— next year I give out not chocolate
M5: PWO
.5 cup beans, 50g cheese, 2 tbsp salsa
P/C/F/Cal
128/126/74/1679
The candy fucked my carbs. Also if you pick at other aspects of my diet, note that I’m a vegetarian.
Breakfast - 3 eggs with salsa and a glass of chocolate milk + 2 fish oil
Lunch - chicken on ezekiel bread
Dinner - subway sandwich with cooked green beans(footlong)
Probably will have another glass of milk + fish oil before I go to sleep.
This is a good idea Patch. I eat like a shit and I know it. The above is considered healthy for me. I typically eat a lot of ice cream, cookies, mac and cheese, etc.

Do you know the macros, or cals on this? I should have probably also asked people to include goals.
You count fish oils in you meals? Do you include them in your cals?
I must sing the praises of Coconut water. Found at Whole Foods and some grocery stores. It is very high in potassium, low in carbs (about 7-15 per serving), and low in calories (about 60). It is yummy, different then regular water and a tasty way to hydrate
6pm - Training
8pm - 1 medium orange (post workout)
9pm - Salad w/ 2oz rockefort cheese
1 cup broccoli cooked
1 cup green beans cooked
about 3 tbs of olive oil in the entire meal
bout 7 oz of pork
2 cups fage nonfat yogurt with strawberry jam (admittedly this was excessive, but it was so delicious)
Cals 2060
Fat 105
Carbs 169 < eeks!
Protein 118
Also, i don’t normally eat fruit post workout, I just happened to run out of whey. That would help bring carbs down.
So now, knowing that I have all these cals in me, today I’ll just bring a grapefruit to work for snacktime, do my training in the PM, and then have my usual big dinner at night. That’s pretty much how I eat M-F. Sat and Sun I can eat more “normally.”

I have never counted calories. I don’t really have goals in regards to my diet/weight. I have this lazy way of organizing my meals. I try to aim for some kind of protein source and a vegetable. Once I do that, I eat whatever the hell I want. I very rarely fluctuate in weight no matter what I do so it’s never really mattered to me.
nimain - WOW that’s A LOT of coffee lol I’d be going nuts.
Ohh I’ll play! I finally got back to logging my food after eating more junk than usual. My cals and carbs are high and I’m feeling great. I’m not feeling bloated and my muscles feel nice and full.
Meal 1:
2 cinnamon raisin ezekiel toast with pb
1 yogurt cup
1 scoop casein + “fitnutz” pb
Meal 2:
4 oz tilapia
1 cup rice
2 oreos
Meal 3:
clif bar
6 pieces of a cali roll
Meal 4:
hamburger (5.5oz cooked beef)
1 cup kashi granola cereal
.25 cup skim milk
LOVE this idea Patches! I just started logging my food again and can’t remember who mentioned it here but I read someone uses livestrong.com so I’m trying that.
I have a bad time with binge eating so maybe this will keep me accountable as well.
yesterday wasn’t great just cuz my daytime eating was so poorly managed.
breakfast-protein bar, 2 cups coffee w/ non dairy creamer
lunch-protein bar
dinner-wendy’s plain baked potato, large chili, side salad
struggled HARD with cravings last night. Almost went to the store and bought pizza rolls and ice cream. I went to bed instead

Have you ever tried golden oreos? I give you mad props for only eating two cookies…my parents live next door to me and thats what they keep in the cookie jar. I can easily eat 12 before anyone even knows it
I use myfitnesspal. I love it, it’s online, but I mostly use it on my phone. It has a feature where you can just scan the barcode of what you’re eating (assuming it has a bar code) and it automatically put all the details in your log. It eliminates a lot of typing.

I feel like I’m the only person to NOT have an iphone or droid or whatever but when I was looking at the available tracking option on your phone through livestrong i actually considered finally upgrading lol!
I did weight watchers to lose all my weight in the first place so i’m used to tracking food…but its not something i love doing. Sometimes I wish I was a normal person without food issues. Either that or sometimes I wish I didn’t half ass my eating disorder…I’ve got the binge part down…now if only i could purge lol! j/k

They were actually the two faced ones, or whatever they’re called (one choc cookie, one golden). Never had the regular golden ones though.
The oreos were at work and I had to have a couple. I have a major sweet tooth and I try not to keep that stuff around the house.

Food at work kills me…and I hear ya on not keeping stuff at the house. I can’t manage sweets or peanut butter like a normal person.

The BJJ crowd is really really into coconut water.
What’s your overall foods like Ronda? You’re diabetic, right?
