Meals Under 100kcals - NEVER GO OVER!

"thinspo" gets a bad wrap a lot of times, and most of the time is linked with ED. im glad you posted this, and i take back my comment. It just goes to show to be a bit more informed before you make a comment that could possible hurt someone. i get where you were coming from.I wasn't trying to be rude in my original post, this just happens to be my first time stumbling on proana / thinspo whatever stuff. I had to look it up - had no idea what this was.
Have fun. I think there is enough information on this forum to eat more to lose more. If you have no calories at the end of the day and so desperate to eat, then some effort is needed to adjust your macros to feel full at a reasonable amount of calories.
It's not easy as someone claimed it must be, but it doesn't have to be so hard. There's lots of support here, and I don't think this is the type of support this site was meant to harbour.
however let me just say this, i would be careful of what you say and how you say it. i read what you said and it COULD have been taken as you being judgmental and hurtful.0 -
The blog entry title says "Meals 100kcals and under, no more 'why arn't you eating dinner?'"
This plus the sentence "makes it look like you eat more" got me a LITTLE wary.
Do you eat 100kcal meals (with a salad on side) so family member or whoever don't think you skip dinner when you actually do?
I actually agree with this comment and no thanks, OP, I don't need a PM. drop_it was just picking up on some strange wording that you've used and it's exactly what I picked up on as well.
It's great to have a list of ideas of things to eat when you've only got 50 or 100 calories left for the day. But it's not cool when you are trying to cover up undereating and advertising this to others, which was what it appeared to me to be.
drop_it was trying to be supportive so being so defensive also rings the alarm bells for me!0 -
Since people have already raised an eyebrow at your phrasing I went and looked at your friends list. Seem to be a lot of young women perhaps struggling with EDs on there judging by pics and names. Thanks but I think I've seen enough; this doesn't look like it's coming from a positive place. And before you tell me if I don't like something shut up and move on, I'm speaking up for anyone else who might stumble on this and not know better. Not trying to be mean. Good luck.0

Thinspo isn't all proana. There's good thinspo too. I don't want to look at skin on skeletons - honest, it isn't a good look! But if that is the only thing people are clearly taking from this post, I must write my whole life story on my profile!
Yeh I do find losing weight pretty hard. I have massive issues with food. I'm dealing with it in my own way. Calories are so easy to log I don't want to get bogged down with macros too. I know that sticking to my calorie limit, no matter how little it means my dinner may be because I slipped up in the day is a good thing to me. It gives me a little control back.0 -
Instead of being mean you should show concern and offer help, not scare people with ED's into hiding. This is the general feeling I get on this forum.
Before starting to point fingers at me, I'm just a girl that wanted to fit perfectly into her wedding dress and lost the weight slowly(1year)0 -

SIGH. Ok the reason behind the title of the blog was because I went to an all you can eat buffet for lunch. I must have ate like 2000kcals at least. When dinner time came around everyone thought I was mental because I didn't want to eat dinner as well. And why should I after having such a large lunch? It's excessive.
I thought people might want to see them for ideas. Not to under eat.0 -
With all due respect, the idea of such low calorie goals is counterproductive to any healthy weight loss goals. On top of that, the reason why you are met with such hostility here is because people on this site who have been around a while (or people active in the fitness community at all actually) have come to associate such low calorie goals--along with words such as "thinspo," as well as the comments you make in your own profile which show signs of self-hatred (calling yourself a fat ****) with the disordered eating community. If this isn't you I am sorry. It's just that all the obvious signs point to it. If you would like some tips on how to do it without depriving yourself, though, feel free to send me a FR. I have lost 138 lbs so far without depriving myself or keeping to such low calorie goals.0

If this post was made by someone who had 4,000 forum posts, 300 'friends' and a body builder profile picture it would be hailed as the greatest forum post since In Place of a Road Map.
I can't imagine someone like that ever even thinking of only eating a 100 calorie meal.0 -
Shrimp and a huge salad. I've had days where I've eaten at a buffet or whatever and needed a light dinner option.
Zara.0 -

Haha, okay. I will be sure to do more research next time or ask questions. Oh wait, my post was me asking questions.
Everyone is so quick tempered and defensive here. Did you all just need a cookie?0 -
If you would like some tips on how to do it without depriving yourself, though, feel free to send me a FR.
I eat 1500kcals a day, that's not deprivation.
I can't send you a FR because I need to fill out my profile properly and tell you my life story lol :P0 -

Only if it's 100kcals.0 -

Thanks for the ideas. Since it's currently 7:23 am and I have pre-logged all my food for today finding that I have about 146 calories left it's nice to know that IF I don't manage to do any more activity at work (because it's a very slow day) that there are still some reasonable options for dinner
Shrimp is a nice one for me. You can eat a lot of it for very few calories

I am reading your blog, and I don't understand. Why do you need to "make it look like you are eating more"?
100 calories is not a meal either, unless you are on a 20 meal per day diet?
Gah do you not read?!
They are designed if you are at the end of your calorie limit. So you've gone over more than you would like to (office cakes pushed into your mouth, a buffet at a party - I've never been to one that tells me the cals of every bite, for when your period is raging and your womb is screaming I NEEEEEEED ice cream...I'm guessing you've never had that?) but don't want to go over your kcal limit.
Add a salad so it looks like you have a big meal on your plate TO YOU, so you don't feel like you've missed out.
You clearly have a hold on your diet, but for people like me (and as far as I can see other people on this site) still need help with their dieting. I have a binging issue. I don't get full, I don't know when to stop.
Take your judging eyes off me!
OP, you explained it better in this response above ^, so perhaps you could revise the blog post a little? The ideas are great but the way you worded it is a little misleading. 0 -

Some useful advice, maybe I will 0 -
thanks for list - very handy !0

Bumping to keep the list of recipes. I'm always hungry, so it's good to have a store of low kcal recipes to dip into, thanks! 0

Also, to OP... are you new here? Judging from your number of posts and join date I will assume so for now. Don't let the negative people upset you on these forums. I have noticed that more often than not, people will take one small thing you said completely out of context and then use it against you, a little like what has happened to you on this thread.0

No one eats cookies with a knife and fork silly.
Actually there are some people who do - if they don't like touching food.
*I'm not one of them, I'll take a cookie though =]
I do like your tip about the baking soda on hard boiled eggs, I might try that.
You've got some really good ideas, I might snag some for snacks though.
I agree with other posters that you might want to re-word the beginning because it does send up some flags.
Another thing, I've compared light tuna & regular tuna in a can and there's barely a difference. So personally, I'd use regular.
Also, what could you use instead of ground flaxmeal? It's not something I keep on hand and I haven't heard of it before so I wouldn't go buy it. Think same amount of breadcrumbs would be a good sub? (over 100 cals is fine for me haha)0 -
I also think its a good idea to have a list of things you can eat without ruining your whole day, there are times I am just hungry, if I have reached my cal limit for the day, its nice to have options, so that I don't completely go off track.
lets all be nice!
what works for you might not work for everyone.0 -

Some of the 'recipes' I've copied so I don't think there is a difference between the two tunas
Any type of flour will sub flax, breadcrumbs do sound good. Probably around the same cals I should think!0 -
