I'm probably not the best person to answer your question. I doesn't sound like a lot of food...but it definitely sounds like it's very well balanced. Depending on how it comes out calorie wise, it's sounds more like how I should be eating!

 

[kpickell]

That looks pretty good to me. Decent amount of food and fairly balanced. Throw it in to fitday.com and see how it comes out.

 

[acfj]

Agreed - very balance but probably not enough

How about adding grains with your lunch?

 

[Libellula]

your lunch needs carbs and you need more fats.... you need calories. it is healthy but it isn't enough.

 

[kale]

who made the mealplan-- was this given to you by your treatment team? It looks rather sparse for a recovering girl

 

[Cissy]

It definitely doesn't look like enough.

 

[Libellula]

i agree, cissy, i'd be HUNGRY on that..

 

[SeaSiren]

Looks good, make sure the amounts are large enough. Fitday is a great way to be sure.

the OP has an eating disorder- she shouldn't be counting or tracking. (wasn't sure if you knew that

)

Ahh, I wasn't aware.

 

[GhostUser]

that's what i figured

 

[laurie15]

i agree with the other posters - and if you have an eating disorder, you should be eating more.

for breakfast, try having far more oats in the mix.

with your snack, add a fruit or some veggies with the nuts.

for your lunch, i hope that is more than 1 egg... make sure you are getting enough protein, and try putting a (healthy) oil based dressing on your salad for good fats.

your second snack looks great, and so does your dinner (assuming there is a large portion!)

also - if you feel as though you want more than just a cookie afterwards, do it up!

good luck.

i would not recommend any more than one egg a day if you choose to eat eggs in the first place.

more varied grains is a great idea especially with lunch.

more fresh fruit with breakfast would be nice as well.

if that is a cholesterol issue, eat the whites. they are very nutritrious if you choose to have them as part of your diet. they are very high in protein also. they back incredible things, and since you are missing fat elsewhere, the fat in them is not an issue.

 

[penny79]

actually if they are factory farm or cage free commercial eggs, they will be lacking in significant amounts of essential fatty acids, so the OP should include one egg a day ( if any ) and some flax oil and hemp seeds.

 

[laurie15]

sure.

Oh, I didn't realize either. That would be a sufficient days worth of food for me, but I guess I'm picturing my type of servings for everything that's listed. So when she says stuff like "big salad" I'm picturing an overflowing meal salad with all types of veggies, nuts, seeds, and bread.

 

[specialK12]

hey thanks guys im trying to add a bit more ive added one extra piece of bread!um were do i find fitday?

 

[specialK12]
