Thread: jaim91's typical diet

Wow. That's - um, that's a whole lot of junk you eat there.

You mentioned somewhere else that you'd had problems with disordered eating. How long ago was that? I'm curious, just from observing the hellalotta sugar you are eating.

I like the looks of that dinner.

Dinner:
5 pieces of Domino's pizza


at least you're honest! lmao

I think Jaim has said she cant gain weight. If you look at her gallery she is very shall we say "skinny" so If she can eat like that and not gain more power to her.

Well, not necessarily. There's still a whole lot of nutrient-containing items I'm not seeing there, and she's a growing girl. Not to mention, if she is currently enjoying a post-disorder metabolic zoom, I'm sorry to say that it may not last, and getting into the habit of eating a whole lot of calorically-dense and nutrient-poor foods is not going to serve her well in the long run.

Very true. Her breakfast would have been very good if it had been old fashioned oats.

I concur! I don't see anything wrong with her having some of the junk food because she truly does need to gain weight but she should concentrate on more balanced and nutritious meals. She can get alot of calories from nuts, milk, eggs and beef as much as she can pizza.

Heh, but honestly if you could get away with eating pizza when ever you wanted. You would certainly be doing it. Im not gonna lie, I know I would. but im not so blessed/cursed With her ridiculous metabolism.

Couldnt agree more.

Jaim, although you do have a fast metabolism and hard time putting on weight, there are many calorie dense nutritious foods rather than resorting to processed junk.

Thanks all for replying.

Akateros - The eating disorder was from age 10 - 13. I am going to be 17 August 30, I don't think the "post-disoder metabolic zoom" applies here, but it's a thought. I'd like to know more when you say, "Voice of sad experience". If you're comfortable...do tell.

Jodi - I know this sounds weird, but I have found in the past that I get more full faster when I eat the nuts and the beef. I can have 2-3 HungryMan dinners, but put 6 ounces of grilled chicken in front of me and 1 tbsp of nuts and I can't finish it.

Atherjen - What are the foods you're talking about? Does what I just said to Jodi make sense to you?

jaim, yes that makes sense to me.. when I eat beef or nuts as well it fills me up much quicker. how about peanut butter or other nut butters? those dont fill me up quite the same. or milk, lots of it. more whole eggs, whole wheat pasta and whole grain breads. homemade trail mix with lots of dried fruit..homemade muffins and cookies/protein bars (made healthy-check the recipes section). riccota or cottage cheese.. Im sure I can think of more..

I also eat the way I do out of convinience. So, while they homemade trail mix is definitely something I'll be trying, there's no room in my diet for more whole eggs. And believe me, I abuse the homemade cookies priviledge

Jaime, your diet is the shit!!!! lol

lol...thanks trhawt. I know it's shit, but i don't know if it's THE shit.

Don't you care about your health? I mean all that transfat and crap in your system. It's one thing to not be able to gain weight but skinny people die of heart attacks too.

Well, YOU ARE the shit, too, though.

Jodi, I never thought of that. It's just that my mom still really scrutinizes my diet because of my history. So when I ask her if we can stop (mid-day) so I can wolf down a whopper or a happy meal, and I see her smile there, it's hard to deny myself. I know she thinks that if I get in the habit of doing the nuts/chicken breast/ egg whites/ homemade oatmeal, she'll think that I'll regress to the celery and diet coke diet of before...

If your diet was consistant of chicen and oats and nuts and such I don't see how anyone could think you are regressing to your old ways. Especially because you will need to eat a hell of alot more healthy food to get your calories in.

I don't mean to equate chicken breast and egg whites with celery and diet coke. But I was implying that both of those are things people use to get healthy (or thin..sometimes both). So, if my mom saw that I was trying really hard to eat healthy, then it would probably upset her a little more than to see me enjoying all the foods that "normal" teenagers enjoy.

Hell, if I ate like this I'd be positively spherical!!!!!!!!!
I see "the next Lenda Murray" under your name jaim... not if you eat like this girlie.
You are still young but if when you get a little older your metabolism starts to slow down as it does for most of us and you do in fact start to gain weight from your diet all you're going to be gaining is fat.
Also, if and when that time comes you will have a hell of a time switching over to healthier eating choices.
You need to be eating way more nutritiously than you are, this is just a bunch of empty calories that's gonna dig you an early grave imo.
Have you considered seeking out a nutritionist to get you onto a healthy eating regimen?
I'm not saying don't have junk at all, hell I LOVE junk, but your diet looks like the reverse of mine whereas I have a cheat meal once a week it looks like you have a healthy meal once a week! (maybe!!)
I just think you can do a lot better with a little guidance.

Thanks Brit Chick for your advice. I will hee dyour warnings for sure! The only nutritional advice I got, was when I was in the hospital. Now, my mom hasn't had the need to get me one. As a bodybuilding afficionado, I am aware of the toll that this diet will take on my body in the long run...if I continue it. I have enough resources (online and in "real life") that can get me into the good habits, when I'm ready (ie. An adult). But right now, I'm milking this metabolism surge for all it's worth. Can you really blame me?

With all the junk you're eating, what's with the low fat ice cream sandwich ?.. That's funny... Don't want to overdo it I guess..

i hope you can try to stop using your thinness as an excuse to eat so badly. try to think about your HEALTH instead of the fact that you aren't getting fat eating the way you do. c'mon jaim91 - you can do a lot better than this. you owe it to your health.

Thanks for looking out for me nikegurl - I appreciate it. But what I don't understand is that let's say that I stop eating this way the day I turn 18, and I start eating healthy. Normal person healthy...and one cheat meal a week. Will the shit I ate from age 15 - 18 affect the way I look? Or are you guys just making me aware of the fact that the bad habits could continue? What I mean is, are you anticipating that if I don't stop, I could continue this way and get fat because I wold be so used to eating that way? Or right now, I am screwing up my body?

Spike - My mom is on a diet, so we have low fat foods in the house. And if you're ever tried Slimwich, you'd know they were kick ass.

P.S. For the time being, please remind me what's wrong with using my wt as an excuse? My friends/parents encourage me to do it.
