What do you eat throughout the whole day? meals, snacks e.t.c?

im recovering from a slight eating disorder and everything i eat i think is too much and i want to know what you typically eat in a day;





a typical day for me would be;


2 egg whites in wholemeal pitta bread


(i feel i eat too much but make myself)





if i snack i have berrries of some sort,


strawberries, blueberries e.t.c





lunch; either wholemeal sandwhich with lean meat,


tuna salad/chicken salad - fairly large too fill me





dinner could be anything from stir frys, to pasta/large salads/fish e.t.c always chosing wholemeal.





i generally wont eat after 7pm.





is this too much? i need to stop obsessing and i am trying to make myself but i just wanted to know what others would eat day to day, and if i am eating too much/too little e.t.c.





thanks everyone

What do you eat throughout the whole day? meals, snacks e.t.c?
I think this is a survey and should be in that section?





That's not too much on the face of it but it all depends on portion size. Pasta for example if very heavy in calories and starches too (which your bodily readily stores as fat, much easier than eating fat in the same way eating blood sausage doesn't proportionally increase your red blood cell count) it's easy to eat too much of it. It seems quite healthy to me though you could do with eating something that supplies some healthy fats. Perhaps less pasta and add some linseeds to your salad.





I mostly live off home-made hummus with added ingredients on pita bread or chopped vegetables. Mmm. Hummus. I've been losing weight on it for a while. Before that I lived on beer and cheese burgers which turned me into a fat bastard.





EDIT: Oh boohoo to the person who thumbs-downed me. I've actually studied nutritional science what do you know.





EDIT 2: (For the moron who thumbs-downed me) In the 1950s a researcher called Alan Kekwick fed hospitalised patients 1000 calories a day. Some only protein, some only fat, some only carbs. Both protein and fat fed patients lost weight, only the carb fed patients gained weight. Not all calories are equal same as not all carbs and fats are equal. Nobody disputes the accuracy of this research it's a documented fact.





It's easy to find a million sources to cite as a reference to support any position on diet but this is a clinically controlled study in as simple as form as possible back before there was a monetary incentive to distort the result. Even if you take into account the fat eating group would have been losing muscle due to protein loss, why did the carb group GAIN weight since they would also be losing muscle? I'm so sick of people who can't do their own homework. This is not saying carbs are bad, without them you will suffer damage to your body and will eventually die (albeit slower than someone who ate no protein or no fat) It's saying that you should be careful how much of your diet they constitute.
Reply:I obsess too, and I can tell you that that is NOT too much. If it keeps you full, it's enough, but if you're ever hungry, just eat. I'll give you an example of what I eat, since you asked-





Breakfast: Oatmeal with banana and cinnamon, and an apple. Maybe a glass of soymilk if I'm still hungry.





Lunch: A peanut butter sandwich on sprouted flourless whole grain bread. Fruit salad and plain yogurt on the side.





Snack: Berries and maybe a little part skim cheese. Or an apple and peanut butter (natural of course). Or a pear and a handful of almonds. Basically just a fruit and a protein source.





Dinner: Usually a salad with chicken and sliced egg. Or I'll have some fish, veggies, and brown rice. Whatever sounds good.





Hope I helped!
Reply:During the week I eat oatmeal for breakfast, two hrs. later I have a fruit. Lunch is light, perhaps a burger, or a salad. Two hrs. later more fruit. I eat until full at supper, and nothing after 6. I don't drink pop. Coffee is my addiction, and I drink a lot of water.
Reply:you're eating fine- usually i have cereal in the morning, fruit %26amp; cheese midmorning, salad %26amp; sandwich for lunch, soup mid-afternoon, pasta %26amp; meat for dinner, popcorn evening, milk throughout the day maybe a bite or two of something sweet.


and im in very good shape- i might add that i am active everyday in some way.
Reply:Eat small portions every two hours. By doing this you never become overfull and you stay comfortable but not stuffed..





If you are bulimic, I can understand cutting out egg yolks, but if you are anorexic, you need to eat them for the protein.





Make and eat 1/2 a sandwich instead of a full size one.





The dinner meals sound excellent but keep the portions under control.





Taking a multi-vitamin would be wise to replace the vitamins you are missing.





Good Luck.
