30 Bananas a Day!

and 10 years ago today (if you have an idea)

Give us a sample meal plan for that day

Me:

5 years ago - oatmeal with blueberries; sweet and sour tofu, steamed broccoli, brown rice; hemp plus granola with rice milk

10 years ago - 2 wendy's jr. bacon cheeseburgers (without the bacon), fries; gatorade; doritos chips; frosted flakes with cow's milk; sprite

And can you believe I played 3 sports back then?! The human body is amazing.

If I had to guess -

5 years ago -
Breakfast of some kind of bread product, bagel or toast,
Lunch would be a turkey sub, maybe a chicken salad sandwich, lots of lettuce and cucumber added. Sometimes a caesar salad.
Dinner would be your traditional american "meat, veggies, and a grain" but usually a relatively low fat white meat, lots of (lightly steamed) veggies, and a whole grain.

10 years ago - (If you thought THAT was bad.)
Breakfast - similar to five year mark, but with lots of butter and possibly cream cheese. Or sweetened cereal.
Lunch - Pasta, microwave pizza, hot pockets, various other microwave foods, with Dr. Pepper to wash it all down.
Dinner - more pasta, (drenched in oily sauces) or pizza, or burger king, or wendy's... or horribly deep fried foods from a local roast beef place. Chili cheese dogs, grease-soaked cheeseburgers.


Today, I had bananas for breakfast, and I'm having bananas right now for lunch. Definitely come a long way.

Let's see...

10 Years ago: I was 17, in high school. Typical day was probably somethin like this.

Breakfast: Raisin bran + milk.
Lunch: Slice of pizza + pepsi. maybe a bag of doritos.
Afterschool: can of beefaroni.
Dinner: Pasta + tomato sauce, meatballs, parmesean. or more fast food, burgers and fries, chinese food.

5 Years ago: 22 year old, physical labour job.

Breakfast: Papaya + yogurt with either cream of wheat, or rice.
Lunch: Chicken, rice + cheese, squash + butter, arrowroot cookies for desert. (yes that was one meal)
Dinner: Fried tomato + avocado in olive oil, mix with quinoa, basmati rice, and yogurt. more cookies.

This was what a dietitian recommended I eat for colitis. My meals were so large!! the lunch meal was often spread over 2 plates cause one was never enough. The dinner filled up this large baking dish meant to serve an entire family lol. I was never satisfied after a meal either. It was so annoying and I was always tryin to figure out what I missing from these meals. Thought I was covering all bases!

5 years ago -
Breakfast - oatmeal, egg/cheese sandwiches, tortilla with melted cheese, whatever in the house that looked good.
Lunch - typical school lunch. Chicken nuggets, tater tots, hamburgers. oh, and milk. The occasional pear or apple.
Dinner - bread, rice, some dish with vegetables and meat in it.

Ugh, even if I was not on 80/10/10rv, I would not eat half the stuff I did back then. I liked cheese way too much back then, can't stand it now.

10 years ago - um, I don't remember. I was 6 years old at that time.

School lunches are so devoid of nutrients!

5 years ago (throughout the day) - Huge (serving bowl) wholemeal pasta and homemade sauce, 8 slices thick toast, bagel with butter, chocolate, crisps (couple of bags), big bowl cereal, lots of cookies, cheese and crackers.

8 years ago: i was very underweight and the nutritionist made me keep a food diary to see how i could gain weight, this is from an old food diary (a typical v unhealthy day)...
Chips from chip shop & fried egg
Apple
8 slices toast with Nutella
slice chocolate cake
cheese on toast with tuna x2
bowl of Alpen cereal
14 cookies (diff. types)
nut bar
4 bags of crisps
Dinner - veggie sausages with beans
4 Kit-kats!
100g bag chocolate eggs
Pretzels
Dry-roasted peanuts

I stopped trusting and going to doctors after my GP accused me of bullimia WITHOUT even examining me for evidence, he told my mum i had a problem and was LYING! just cause i could eat so much junk and not gain (i'm 5 ft). my mum said she started spying on me to see if he was right, in the end she believed me of course, i never once made myself sick or suffered from bulimia, if i did i wouldn't lie about it when confronted by the docs. i never saw that doctor or any other again. my health improved when i got clued up about it.

It's funny how 'nutritionists' recommends to people being skinny gulp down just about everything fatty in order to put on weight. It's such a insanely poor and senseless advice and just shows how much of qualified bull nutritional training really are.

Cool Discussion!

5 years Ago I was 14 and I probably ate:

Breakfast: I was in 9th grade so I would eat at school sometimes. I'd eat a muffin with some concentrated apple or orange juice, or a bagel. On weekends Anything from commercial cereal, to oatmeal, bacon and eggs, sausage, or pancakes. ooooh or waffles! lol. probably cereal though, with sugar and marshmallows.

Lunch: at school I'd eat a dominoes pizza slice, mmmm, lol. Or sometimes subway, but mostly pizza. or some cafeteria food, which was mush.

Dinner: meatloaf? stuffed bell pepper? chicken and rice? baked potato? idk.

10 years ago: I was 9.

breakfast: cereal.

lunch: cafeteria food.

dinner: I'd probably eat some beef tacos, cheese, lettuce, tomato.

5 years ago: I was raw back then - fruit for breakfast lunch and dinner, plus a salad at dinner. Back then I ate 3 meals, today it is only 2. Occasional raw gourmet restaurant stuff and raw potluck foods.

10 years ago: cappuccino & bagel for breakfast at a cafe. SAD (or ethnic versions of SAD) restaurant food for lunch and a espresso. Either SAD restaurant food for dinner, or something fast and easy to make at home. No salad. No Fruit. Very little vegetables. Wine or beer. Ice cream for dessert.

June 2004... oh man, well it wouldn't have been very good. I was at uni and had just started drinking having quit for a year. I couldn't afford much so I lived on jars of beetroot, frozen veggies, really dirt cheap cans of tuna and tofu. I would rink over 1L of OJ a day and so much coffee and diet coke to give me the energy to get through my labs at uni.

June 1999 was a different story all together!! I was working at a music store. Lo-cal hot chocolates with lo-cal biscuits. Lunch was probably a pint and bag of crisps at the pub, then a huge bag of pick n mix sweets and dinner would have been boiled veggies with a sauce on, plus more beer and a big bag of nuts.

It is soooo true that 90% of the time when you don't feel like exercising you end up really happy you did afterward!

Bella replied to Rebecca's discussion 'Papaya'
Do you live in the UK?? In Europe they have to label stuff as GMO legally, in the US and Canada they do not. The FDA or USDA does not want to scare people away from eating GMOs so they are not labelled.
