What I ate today smiling smiley

Here is what I had today, now that I look at it, I see that I really didn't have much to eat today at all. I was seriously doing a LOT of running around at work today and didn't have much time to even sit down and eat. I'm actually not really hungry now at all either...just tired. lol.

2 cups green smoothie (Handful of each kale and spinach, 2 bananas, some agave nectar. A bit too much of the nectar I think as the smoothie was overly sweet)

2 cups salad with spinach, 2 tomatoes, 1 green pepper, shredded carrot and red cabbage. A handful of (small) raw sunflower seeds. Some olive oil and lemon juice. (Yesterday I had a salad with a half of an avocado and I felt...strange. Like..icky full? Too much fat probably? I just felt like the avocado didn't sit well at all.)

1 plum
1 banana

Is this too little? Should I definitely try to eat more during the course of the day?

For me this sounds too little, especially if your running around. I need at least 12 bananas in a day to sustain my self. That is with a whole melon.

today I have already had 500g strawberries, 1 quater of melon, 100 g of cherries and 5 bananas, that seems to keep me going until lunch

I'd say if you don't feel hungry, then you ate enough!

LOL I guess so! smiling smiley

Thanks so much for the input, both of you. I was just wondering because I see other people who each so much more than I do. I don't think I can eat 12 bananas in a single day! smiling smiley I do eat when I'm hungry, but I fill up so fast these days. I just want to make certain I get enough nutrients for my body. My energy is up and I feel good, so I must be doing something right. smiling smiley

I would say if your energy is up and your feeling right that is the way to tell if you are eating enough. With me though as eveyone is different sometimes i don't feel hungry but I feel my weight drop. I seem to be one of those people who dorps weight fast. When I was eating gluten the weight stayed and did not drop but as soon as I gave it up the weight just drops off. I could eat 20 bananas as till be 7 1/2 stone (106lb)

your body tells you when you have had enough and if it says im not hungry then you are getting the right nutriets you need.
