Meals Under 100kcals - NEVER GO OVER!

lua_

I also went to the posters wall yesterday and was in shock on the friends on the posters wall, alot of girls killing their bodies to be 86lbs:( It really upset me to see all these girls striving for the unhealthyness of under 100lb, so the concept of having meals to use if you are up to your calorie limit seems great, but the OP motives are probably helping herself and others look like they are eating meals so that others don't question them about eating so little:(

If you really were concerned you would message her about it instead of adding fuel to the fire. Bullying.

OK (in no one's defense since I did not see the pre edited site)..on the blog it says at the VERY beginning to eat a salad WITH one of the items below. (if this was added after the edit..dis regard this comment..if not read on!)

Can I tell you how many times I have had just that for dinner?? or lunch?? I will add 80 / 90 calories of protein to said salad (100 calorie recipe item can be swapped in my example)

So I am confused on the freak out....remember everyone this is a COMMUNITY...communities are made up of very different people all in the same place....which we happen to be a health / fitness community. We all come from different backgrounds and all have our own problems.

Judging her for any personal emotional issues..is NOT going to get help her (if she has any to begin with). Would you attack a very large person on here for posting an unusually large calorie meal?? (answer yes and you are just a judgmental *kitten* and there maybe no hope for you!) Attacking her the way she has been attacked is NOT going to stop her (or anyone else) from following their feelings / fears. (again..if that is the life she lives). In fact - you maybe doing just the opposite! Generally when a person has an eating disorder - emotions run that dis order.

Cmon guys be a little but less judgmental Take each post as you choose - but if you do not agree with it..do not attack the person....feel free to post opinions but do it with out judging!

But that's not me is it?! How can I say 'oh I don't want to be your friend because you have an ED' that's horrible. That's like saying people with ED's shouldn't have friends.

Bullying.

Thank you someone who finally makes sense.

And I haven't edited my blog, just my profile.

BTW - thank you for some new ideas

Edited to add for my previous post - { comments on her speaking of "makes it looks like you are eating more}...weight watchers...VERY heavily followed and actually recommended by doctors tell you to use smaller plates to...guess what...make it seem like you are eating more....

Just an FYI

If your motivation was not to help others with ED look like they are eating and not starving, then I appologize.

I get where you're coming from...and I'm definitely not faced with ED. But sometimes I might like a beer, and it doesn't fit into what I've eaten all day...I will gladly have some tuna patties and a salad so I can wash it down with a good ol' Kokanee...I also have a problem with chocolate, especially during PMS, instead of blowing over my calories and binging, it's nice to take a look at healthy supper options. You people that continuously bring up pro-ana have a problem. It's starting to get thrown around like herpes. If people have eating disorders, you aren't going to save them by slamming every suggestion thrown out there as ED issues. You're just perpetuating a stereotype.

I wasn't. If you read my blog, they are meant for those times where you are getting close to your calorie limit (mine of which is 1500kcal...like I've said a lot) but you don't want to go too over. Everyone has those days where they eat a bit too much due to some reason or another. These are meant for every now and then. Not all the time.

Cripes... go over a couple hundred for the day. It won't kill you. It's not about being under your goal every day, it's about being very close to it on average.

But restricting at dinnertime just sets you up biochemically to binge again.

Making open forum comments that demotivate or could very well send someone who may or may not already be in distress due to harmful choices they may or not be making is not caring. Sending them a PM voicing your opinions in your caring way is more appropriate and saves thread readers from dodging pointless comments that do not positively reinforce the OP. Just because you do not agree with anothers lifestyle doesnt make you the almighty or a savior, for the most part we are all adults here and can fend for ourselves. Actions have consequences let ppl learn from exp that is how life works. If the person isn't sound enough in mind to be responsible enough to properly take care of theirself....research Darwins thoery of natural selection. One way or another it will be dealt with.

I went out for lunch today, few beers, big meal. Basically over my days limit. Now do I got home and have a normal 500-600 cal dinner? And make it worse or do I have something for 100......I no what I would do

I guess what's frustrating here is that I see posters reacting as if the idea of "never go over" is legit, when it just isn't. You have a calorie goal for a reason, and you ought to eat close to it. It's fine to go over now & then. It's fine to be under it now & then. It should all average out to close to your goal amount.

Your example is not about binge-eating. If you have a binge-eating problem, which at least one person on this thread said they did, then my suggestion is to have a normal, light dinner so that you are not perpetuating the bingeing cycle from a physiological standpoint.

And in your example, I'd have a light dinner, go over a couple hundred, and not sweat it. It's just not that big of a deal, whereas being in a binge cycle is a really big deal by comparison.

I got bored of the hysteria by page 5, how judgemental are some of you? The OP has explained her reasons over and over again, and you're just not listening.

Personally I will find these very useful, as i'm doing the 5:2 diet, and these will be great for my 'fast' days. Even if I wasn't doing that, I totally get the purpose of the thread and I don't actually know why people feel the need to be so blimmin' rude!

(btw OP, you're very funny!)

Thank you for the great ideas!

Sorry OP but controlling your food intake (and feeling as if you have some control in your life) is exactly what EDs are all about.

Controlling it to 1500kcal is an ED? Seriously?

Isn't controlling your calorie intake, whether its to gain or lose weight, what MFP is all about!?

she's referring to the emphasis put on it by the OP. the OP feels like she needs to trick her family and friends into thinking that she's eating more than she is, because she supposedly binged earlier in the day. part of maintaining a healthy mentality towards dieting is realizing that sometimes things are out of your control and you have to just take them in stride. i think it's also very suspicious to refer to 100 calories as a meal. they are small snacks that can help keep you under your daily calorie goal if you end up over eating earlier in the day. but doing so in order to make people think that you're eating a lot when you're not, and to dodge questions about why you're not eating, is deceptive and can lead to disordered eating mentality (or aggravate already disordered behavior).

yes, exactly. Saying "it gives me control back" hints at how so many people suffering with EDs are focused on the control they get from limiting there food and it's not just about food. It's about having ANY control within their life because many people don't feel as if they are in control. So ultimately, all they have is controlling how much they eat - no one can take that away.

So yes, we are all controlling and being conscious about what we are eating but the emphasis on getting control back through limiting food could be a dangerous concept.

great ideas

Thanks for these and a good idea. I will definately find these helpful for days when I am struggling to hit my goals as well as when I accidentally go over.

BUT I'm not sure your real reasons for compiling this are all that healthy tbh. The wording you used as well (including the idea it cannot absolutely be any calories over 100) as to me what came across as a way to disguise undereating set alarm bells ringing for me.It could just be bad wording though. If that is not really your intent then, I apologise, but I see a lot of emerging ED's in my job and that is definately in line with how they start.

EDIT: I see you have now made some changes to the blog. Cool!

A friendly word of advice, you seemingly biting everyone's head of for reasonably showing concern as to the intentions of your blog are a bit suspect to me. Whilst you may feel people are being mean, being rude back is not taking a higher ground, especially when the retaliation is over the top for what was said.

Sorry for not being a delicate flower about it all, but if you are here for validation about your relationship with food or trying to find unhealthy inspiration, you aint getting it from me. Cruel to be kind and all that,

bump for when im having a bad day and dont want to kill my diet! thank you!
