tortilla pizza is my go to for a pizza craving. It's just a burrito tortilla, ragu pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese (all measured out correctly) and it's less than 500 calories.

Hi Folks
I'm new here! I've lost 93 pounds over the past 10 years through WW and have maintained successfully. But lately, I have found myself becoming complacent and just trusting what I eat is fine. But I've noticed my clothes starting to get a bit tight and so I'm blowing the whistle before I get out of control. Joining here is kickstarting my accountability by logging what I eat.
I didn't count calories to loose my weight (I did the points thing) Calorie counting can drive me a bit mad sometimes.

Here's my concern with this app. I eat a TON of veggies as well as getting proper protein etc. But many of the veggies I eat contain carbs. For instance, I love winter squash, roasted, nothing on it. I can eat a whole one for dinner with a yummy egg white omlette.
But eating veggies with carbs means I go into the "red" on the carb totals with this app. If it were from chocolate and chips that would be one thing.

So tell me, can I just CHILL on this whole carb thing or do I really need to go for all the celery and leafy veggies I can find? That would make me nuts. Carbs are such a taboo word these days. So tell me, what do you think? Have you been able to loose and maintain while still not being terrified of carbs? Thanks. Its good to be here

I bet you really wish you would have named your post something else to avoid all of these answers that have nothing to do with your question.

You can't say anything that slightly indicates restriction or some people go crazy without even reading things in context re: "just eat at a deficit!"

Me: Salads with spinach or baby lettuces, lots of different kinds of vegetables, topped with chicken, salmon, or tuna, even steak....

I also find making a big batch of chicken and veggie soup is economical and you can freeze it in individual servings. Stews also work well this way. Mexican chicken soup, split pea and ham, etc., etc.

Omelets are also very versatile. Use the whole eggs or use one egg and several egg whites. Add your choice of meats/veggies, cheese, and boom!

Lol I know right?? I was like "do you prefer yourt defecit baked or fried?" huh?

I enjoy a nice helping of seasoned ground turkey with basil pesto...its yummy! or with broccoli mixed in with quinoa. I love bowl of brown rice with salmon with some hot sauce.

Never heard of turkey w basil pesto but it sounds like a crazy new taste i need to try!

It's often best to start a new topic and post your question there. But to answer, I would not worry about going over in carbs as long as you are getting sufficient protein and healthy fats and fiber and staying within your calorie goals. Here's a good thread to get you started and start a new topic if you need more help. :flowerforyou:

it seems like people are misreading the question, she is looking for ideas and didn't even mention anything about a deficit or what she doesn't eat?

I like a sweet potato hash with green peppers onions and tomato, uncured bacon, and one egg and one white scrambled.

I add a tiny bit of old bay, pepper, and a bit of brown sugar to my hash, it is really good!~and I use olive oil to fry it probably a tablespoon for the whole thing.
I second a tortilla pizza, but I make mine with turkey pepperoni. I don't know if it is healthier with turkey pepperoni or not but it tastes the exact same.

I make a weeny pizza with a small base, and have found it a really good way to get pizza in without going calorie crazy.

I use these small thin bases from the freezer section in Coles (12 per pack) that are about 170 calories each. I then add:

- 15g Leggos pizza sauce with Garlic, Onion and Herbs
- 10g sliced up kalamata olives
- 5 spinach leaves
- 10g fresh tomato, chopped up into little cubes
- sprinkle of shredded carrot
- 2/10g small feta cubes, cut into 8 small cubes
- 15g slices of cabonossi
- 20g shredded cheese

I meticulously measure how much of everything I use for an accurate calorie log, except for the spinach leaves and shredded carrot.

It tastes so much better than most cheap fast food pizzas.
