I was just thinking about this the other day actually. This is pretty embarrassing to admit.
This was a typical day for me:
breakfast
four McDonalds egg & cheese biscuits, 2 hash browns, coffee lunch
two slices of pizza, large order of onion rings, soda after work "snack"
4 bagels from Panera with cream cheese dinner
pasta with veggies, garlic toast, chocolate cake, juice
This used to be a normal day for me. Many days I'd actually eat MORE than this. I definitely struggle with binge eating.
Here's a typical day for me now:
breakfast
slice of toast with peanut butter, apple snack
1 oz almonds, clementine lunch
black bean soup, broccoli snack
string cheese dinner
tofu and veggie stir-fry
Then: It's a little hard to describe my then because I didn't necessarily eat consistent meals or anything.
Breakfast: two Sonic Breakfast burritos and a route 44 vanilla dr pepper
Lunch: Public school lunch (you know those aren't as healthy as they should be)
Snack: stop by sonic and grab a chicken strip sandwich and a dollar order of fries

Dessert: ice cream (2-3 cups)
