Thank you for sharing these ideas. Sometimes you need a plate of real food that doesn't destroy the calorie bank. I'll definitely be try some of these ideas as snacks or even as starters / desserts with a main meal.

I like this list, i can see where the OP is coming from
Ditto. And some lovely ideas too!0 -
:flowerforyou: Bumping for when I need a 100 cal meal!0

Or you could have a reasonable calorie goal and not have to resort to 100 cal "meals".0

Again, because people might not read every page and because sunlight is the best disinfectant, I'm going to comment. While most people wouldn't use the OP's ideas as a way to evade questions from concerned loved ones about not eating, someone struggling with an eating disorder certainly would. And, again, when I looked at the OP's friends list I saw several profile pics and user names indicating an ED or pro-ana issue. Because of this I don't believe the intention of this blog post to be entirely innocuous. Use caution.0

Good call. her friends list is full of very obvious pro-ED girls (ana_bethin, anybody?) OP, regardless of your motives, there is WAY too much evidence to support an ED.0 -
I don't know why I can't just keep my mouth shut and ignore this thread but I'm going to wade in here. I guess this one has irked me more than most do. :explode:
I think that if you go over your calories by 200-300 on a given day, it's truly not the end of the world. Really, it isn't!!! :flowerforyou: And you can have a honest-to-g*d light meal for 300-400 calories. I do it all the time.
And to the OP... if your daily calorie goal is 1500 calories, and you had actually 2,000 at the buffet, then you don't have *any* calories left and you're only eating your '100 calorie meal' to keep people off your back. Pretty easy to see through that one.
Having a 100 calorie 'meal' is actually a form of restricting, and it sets up the binge cycle for tomorrow or the next day or the day after. The way to get out of the binge cycle is to eat regular meals, regularly. Skipping & restricting just keeps you stuck in the torture. Which may be what you want on a subconscious level, but when you get tired of that, maybe you could try something different and see what happens.
All in in my very humble opinion.

Yes exactly what I'm doing. I want everyone to starve. I am the Hitler of dieters. Eat my 100kcals meals and nothing else mwah hahaha.
Look. You can either use this to help you stop going over your calorie goal (mine is a respectable 1500kcal), or bite my shiny metal a**.0 -

I'll do neither. I'll do what I think is the right thing and bring attention to everything mentioned above.0 -

Google em, basically they don't have time to listen to anyone else, regardless of how much evidence there is to support it.0 -

I know who the WBC is, it just made no sense to me in this context. And I do have plenty of time to listen to rational discourse. Start any time.0 -
OP I hope you get help for your disordered eating and unhealthy relationship with food. In the meantime, please don't bring other people down with you by encouraging unhealthy behaviors and and mindsets.0

This is brilliant for me when my partner wants to go out to sup, making tea essential for curbing some of that ravenous hunger before the reservation. Or on frequent snacking days. Or anytime that a protein bar would be acceptable but I have time to cook.
Why is everyone so upset?0 -
These are good recipe ideas!
I am doing a reset right now, trying to eat at my TDEE, which is like 2400 or some ungodly number-even for an overeater it's hard for me to reach that goal, so these will help, thank you for sharing! 0 -
Or you could have a reasonable calorie goal and not have to resort to 100 cal "meals".
I have lost 50 lbs in a very long 9 months. I think I am quite capable of calculating my calorie base and considering I eat back every scrap of exercise calories it's not like I starve. I eat around 1800 calories a day - IF I CAN EXERCISE. If I can't then my goal is considerably lower. Obviously you have never been in a position where you decided one day that you would like to eat the muffin that someone bought you for breakfast thinking it was alright because you had a walk planned later that day...of course when the walk does not happen for whatever reason you are stuck needing to eat something very light for dinner. Most people don't eat like this all the time but it is nice (and helpful) when someone posts things that can be used to help with those days that most of us have occasionally.
I find it helpful to have a list but I don't find it helpful that someone will insinuate that just because we see the value in this list that we do not have reasonable goals or are incapable of eating properly. If you do not see the value then there is no requirement that you comment. Don't assume that everyone who thinks this is a good idea has some ED.
Who cares who is on someone's friend list? You don't have to be their friend. The idea is useful. I will take that and use it to help me in my journey because that's why I am here.0 -
Great ideas!! Often I am starving at 9 pm but dont have more than 100 left. Thanks...........I will definitely be doing the
zucchini today, sounds yummy. Thanks again, keep it coming.0 -

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?
This was my thought exactly. It's nice that you're sharing some of your favorite recipes, but please don't label anything under 100cals as a "meal". Everyone on here is on a MINIMUM of 1200 cals (and many of us are on much more), so unless you're eating 12+ times a day, there's no reason your meals need to be this scrawny.
I mean, these recipes are good, don't get me wrong. But a cup of zucchini slices with a tiny bit of parmesan? Not a meal. Sorry.
And yeah, the fact that you said you need to make it look like you're eating more is also a bit concerning...
ETA: Also, I get that sometimes you have more than you plan to for breakfast or lunch, so you need to have a smaller dinner. We've all been there, and recipes like this CAN come in handy. I'm not saying I have an issue with these recipes, but I do have an issue with calling them meals. They're barely snacks.0 -
Nice recipes! I would use as a snack or incorporate it into a meal. Thanks!0

I'm on 1500 as I mentioned earlier, they're not technically meals I know...but whenever I have 100kcals left and I'm craving something a bit more than an apple, or something on a cracker, I like to make something I can eat with a knife and fork.
I just meant that it is supposed to look like more to you, not to other people. Like they say eat off a smaller plate because you think you're eating more.0 -

Look, you've got a friends list full of young women with names and pics that are clearly indicative of eating disorders and you post tips on how to eat practically nothing and avoid getting questioned on it. Tell me how we shouldn't make assumptions, without coming all unhinged.0 -

Those times are when you need a snack, not a meal. 100 calories is not a meal. Ever.0
