Don't anyone ever listen to me about diet at all period. I'm an anorexic.
No. I'm really not. But try telling that to anyone who sees what I'm eating these days and they insist there's absolutely no way I could possibly be getting enough nutrition.
Let's take a look again at what I'm eating each day.
When I first get up in the morning I take my morning dose, about a half hour later I eat a bagel with honey glaze. My morning dose includes tons of vitamins and minerals, honey contains tons of vitamins and minerals, a bagel has around 400 calories, 1-2 grams fat, less than a gram of salt, 74 grams of carbs only 4 grams of which from sugars, and 12-14 grams of protein. The honey glaze probably adds about 50 more calories and 15 grams of sugars, so 450 calories at this point, tons of micro-nutrients, not too high salt or fat, about 20 grams of mostly single-molecular sugars (the best for you!), 70 grams complex carb, and 12-14 grams protein.
Just before I leave for school or on the way to school I eat a Strawberry-Gojiberry Fage Greek Yogurt... No fat or cholesterol, only 50mg salts still keeps my salt below a gram, 16g sugar (a lot more table sugar this time though, but that's impossible to avoid ugh), 1g complex carb, and 13 grams protein. Calories 120.
So at this point I'm at 570 calories, tons of micro-nutrients, not too high salt or fat, about 36 grams sugars, more than two thirds of which are single molecule sugars, 71 grams complex carb, and 25-27 grams protein.
Around about mid-morning I eat a banana. My salts now go over a gram, but around 800mg of those are sodium and then around 400mg potassium. Banana's are extremely rich in minerals and rich in vitamins, just over 100 calories, less than a gram of fat, 9.5 grams complex carb, 3 grams fiber, 14 grams fructose, and about a gram of protein.
I'm now at 675 calories, tons of micro-nutrients, 1.2 grams salt, less than a gram of sodium and less than half a gram of potassium, very low fat, about 50 grams sugars with well over 3/4ths being single-molecular sugars, 80 grams complex carbs, and 26-28 grams protein.
Around noon and then mid-afternoon I eat half of my protein-paste with sharp cheddar on rye bread sandwich. So by mid-afternoon I can add the sandwich to my intake. Also around noon I take my midday dose.
This sandwich is around 400 calories, has very little fat, no cholesterol, 500 mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 50 grams complex carbs, tons of fiber, some sugar, and a whopping 25 grams protein.
I now have 1075 calories, more than double the micro-nutrients from the morning, my fats are still low, still no cholesterol, my salts are still below 3 grams, my complex carbs are around 110 grams, my sugars around 60 grams and still well over 3/4ths from single-molecular sugars, and 51-53 grams of protein.
I end my day with a half chicken breast, broiled on a wire rack with the fat allowed to drip onto a SEPARATE drip pan. Extremely lean, there's almost no fat left, almost no cholesterol left, 130 calories, 25 grams of protein, no carbs, low sodium... I also take my final dose before eating.
I end my day at about 1200 calories, more than complete micro-nutrition, low fats, low cholesterol, low salt, 110 grams complex carbs, 60 grams sugars and mostly from single-molecular sugars, and 81-83 grams of protein. I get about 5 grams of protein from my supplements.
And they call me anorexic.
Me? I call it a reasonably balanced lean-foods diet for a moderately sedentary lifestyle for a person who weighs my target weight. It's somewhat starvation for my current weight, but that's OK. It's not so severely so, and it's broken up enough to keep my body from going into true starvation mode. I am getting complete and balanced nutrition for my body type. Should everyone or even anyone else necessarily go on the same kind of diet? Of course not.
EDIT: ACTUALLY, I'll need to add another 200-400 calories once I'm done trying to burn off fat if I get down to 120... If I stay 140 and still slim down somehow, then I'll need to add another 150 to that. If I end up 130.... not much change from 120 actually.
Don't take no crap from no one!
