in Health and Weight Loss
Sometimes I find it hard to come up with things to eat so I tend to eat the same things again and again. It doesn't help that my partner likes a lot of fast food so I often have to plan my calories around that. So I guess this is a plea for people who have open diaries to post here so we know where to look for some great food ideas!

My diary is open, however it is quite boring. You have been warned :)

    I keep my diary open as well. Anyone on here is free to take a peak or add me as a friend.

    I agree that this will help get new food ideas

    My diary is open. "Great food ideas" is a bit of a stretch for it, though. I'm still trying to get my bearings on how to meet my macros without going over calories. And remembering to weigh and add everything, so it doesn't look like I'm way under calorie goal. :embarassed: I'm getting better, though.

    Your diary is the only one that has Jesuslovesyou lettuce & all my favorite Gelato so it's exciting :)

    I'm not the best at the whole weighing thing, mostly because I cook for 4 all the time and mealtime is stressful enough. Some days I'm under, others I'm over, but I've done well so far in my opinion. I try to find a delicate balance between healthy for me, and tastes good for my clan!

    My diary is open but M-F I eat almost the same thing every single day (cuz it fits my macros and I'm lazy).

    Edit: also I don't have a food scale so it's all estimation.

    Open... I tend to eat a lot of the same things during the week (bulk cook on Sundays). I also make my own recipes a lot. So if anyone wants to take a look go ahead and if you see something that you'd like to know what it is PM me.

    my diary is open and gets cleaner by the day. I log in daily and actually look at people's diaries before commenting.

    My diary is open, and I LOVE to cook! :) My breakfasts/lunches tend to be the same every day, but I have a lot of fun trying out new dinner recipes.

    Mine is open!

    I recently had family in town and my daughter was really sick with a viral infection so I fell of the wagon for a little over a week, but my family left this morning and my daughter is healing so I plan to jump back on that wagon today. =] (Thankfully I didn't gain!)

    I HATE eating the same thing every day so I am going to be rummaging through others dairies as well!

    Mine is open and always has and will be open to the public.

    I do weigh and measure 95% of the food I eat (even tho I cook for 3-4)

    I have weird food combinations so don't be surprised.

    If you see something that is homemade and want the recipe let me know they are all logged in here.

    I do like variety so I typically eat something different everyday, except my lunch is usually leftovers from the night before but dressed up...

    For example BBQ chicken from one night become BBQ chicken wrap with avocado, cheese and greek yogurt for lunch the next day.

    I'll open my diary in a few months. I don't have a regular income right now and can't afford a lot of foods so my diet is weird. I try to stay under 1200 but haven't been successful. Luckily I'm not over by too much so I'm still losing weight.

    Mine is open and not all that exciting! I've just had a baby so don't have all that much time, especially with a 3 and 4 year old too! I stopped logging for a few weeks and just started again last Sat.

    Mine is open; feel free to look...

    ETA: I cook for myself a lot so you'll see some meals/sauces made by me on there. Maybe that can give you some ideas. :D

    Mine is open, a lot of the entries are in Norwegian though, and it's getting dirtier day by day!

    I am open to friends. I am on 1200 calories. Feel free to friend me. My diary is not too exciting but may be a bit different than yours.

    Mine is open, but I really don't eat as healthy as 85% of the people on here.

    My diary's open to all. I log every morsel, taste, and sip. It's not that interesting (IMO), but someone should find some inspiration (I LOVE to eat--duh--but always stay right around goal--always lose, yay!).

    Mine is open. I hate cooking and tend to eat the same thing day after day because it's easy and because I know the calories so the diary is really boring. I'm on 1200 calories, too. The weight comes off very very slowly at that level.

    Just an observation, but most people describe their diaries as boring, with a large proportion eating the same things every day (I'm the same, btw). I like boring - everything I eat I like, it's easy and quick to prepare (and log!) and is mostly nutritionally sound.

    Wonder if that's a factor in a lot of people's success?

    Feel free to look at mine, even though you may not recognise some of it because I don't live in the same country :)
