All meat for myself is weighed out of the big package, vacuum sealed with date, weight, and either put in the fridge or freezer.
Packages of cheese are brought home and cut immediately into 1 ounce slices and vacuum sealed and returned to the fridge.
Lunches for the week are done on Sunday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I usually do mixed veggies 300 grams frozen weight to be microwaved. Tuesday and Thursday are Broccoli days and that is 400 grams of frozen weight to be microwaved.
OMG, I LOVE these ideas!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!! And, I need to bring a scale to work as I have breakfast and lunch every day here nearly every day. What model scale do you use, Danilynn?
I know no judgment, but I always felt that original post was a huge red flag on disordered thinking with food.
I think this is the post that said they took their food scale to the grocery store & weighed out the produce.
I divide my meats into 500g portions and food prep my lunches once or twice a week. My produce just gets thrown into the fridge

It's okay, you don't have to give it to me.
That does sound like a fiber one episode just waiting to happen!
Just don't eat almost a whole box of them & fly on a plane.
I probably farted 5-8 hours straight when I flew to Hawaii in 2010.0 -

The one day after looking at my Fiber count I had around 84 grams .
I have to stay within a fiber range. If I have too much fiber, it tends to bind me up...0 -

My lunch was an entire bag of jellybeans.

I don't like Thin Mints or Peanut Butter Patties.
The peanut butter oatmeal cookies taste so much better than the patties. I prefer Thank Yous for my chocolate fix.
Insane. Blasphemy.

When I have a night out I drink that much that there is no way I could remember what I drank and therefore there are no calories to record. Same goes for the food that I get on the way home.0

Not wearing my judgy pants either. Good luck meeting your macros. It's weird how 3 or 4 numbers can make or break your day!
I am glad I don't track macros. Way too complicated.0 -
I ate M&M's the other night instead of a protein bar. Also, I ate a PB&J with Cheetos and a glass of milk Sunday for dinner because I'm a child. I didn't log the sandwich or chips either.
I was tempted to eat 2 Quest Bars last night in order to meet my protein goal even though it would have put me well over my calories.
I log food and then am too tired or full to eat it but don't take it out of my diary.
How's that for confessions Friday?!
Peanut Butter and Jelly and Cheetos? And milk? That just sounds so gross.
I think you misspelled delicious.
nope, totally no delicious in that sentence.
You don't like pb&j's?
i love PB&J. Its the cheetos/milk in combo factor.
Eh. I haven't eaten Cheetos in months, and I bought a bag because they were less than $2 and I remember eating pb&j with chips and a glass of milk when I was a kid. I also like putting potato chips ON my sandwiches. I enjoy the extra crunch it adds.
I used to love eating pretzels with milk.0 -

Actually, wasn't this a confession early on too... about people deliberately bringing in food to work to watch their co-workers eat it while they abstained? Especially the ones who were always talking about dieting?0 -

this! I put pickles on mine too. I haven't done that in a while. Now I have to see if I can fit that in sometime this weekend.
I do like pickles on subs... never put on a regular sandwich but I guess it's the same thing.0 -

That can also be a symptom of an eating disorder. Anorexics love to cook, and will make everybody else eat while they abstain.
I think I do remember that being confessed earlier and starting a big discussion about eating disorders...0 -

I ate a bunch of chocolate XLAX once thinking they were chocolate. I was a kid. Yes, I had the WORST diarrhea (yes I had to look up how to spell that).
When my mom was 10 or so, one of her older brothers made her and their younger brother brownies and put ExLax in the mix. My grandmother left and made him take care of them. Good for her.
Yikes!
Makes me think of the Dumb & Dumber scene with the ExLax.0 -
Yeah, I definitely felt this way when I had an ED. I didn't cook but I'd drink tea and watch everyone else eating lunch/dinner and feel strong. Maybe that's just a human thing, though :Prungirl1973 wrote: »PrincessTinyheart wrote: »I confess that lately I've been concentrating really, really hard on getting my protein, carb, sugar and fat goals as close to the limit as possible...

I also did something similar. I would constantly buy things I'd want to eat but "couldn't" for others.LadyAbsynthe wrote: »

I only use it at work when I have to lift a car battery to put in the used battery cart, have a customer who takes money out of their bra/sock, sneeze/cough in front of a customer, or a customer looks really sick.0 -

Don't you find it dries out your skin? I wash my hands a lot....and lotion after, but I find those just too drying.
The worst is when you have a paper cut you didn't realize you had & it stings.0 -

The only time I weigh my food is when I'm either preparing it for lunch/meal or want to make a dish that has multiple servings.
There would be no way I would take it to a grocery store to measure out bananas, sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash, & whatever else they measured.0 -

Salt and Vinegar chips on a turkey sandwich? De-fricking-licious!
I do not understand this. Why not just eat them on the side? Do they not just get all broken up in the sandwich?
I used to eat chips on bologna sandwiches. I like crunchy food. All the crunchy food. :-)
Crunchy is definitely my favorite of all the textures. Extra crispy fries, extra crunchy chips, super crispy chicken, crisp apples. Yes, please ALL OF IT!!!
I love Ruffles on bologna sandwiches with extra mayo ( @LBuehrle8 that's for you) and lots of crisp iceberg lettuce.
I like burnt things. I used to like the burnt edges when I ate meat. I love burnt toast. It has to be well done.0
