Thank you for reminding me how mature my daughter is. Sometimes that comparative value is needed to appreciate things.
I didn't say I was mopping anyone. I was saying in general, if you don't stick up for yourself people will just run over you.& actually I haven't failed I'm common sense. You keep saying all these things but you are honestly saying you're the only one with common sense. Bc people have pervious gave advice in THIS forum that made sense to me and that I liked and appreciated. You and that vegan whatever person Gave smart *kitten* advice that was unwanted, so of course I'm not going to take in consideration on anything you say. And you actually dont know me from Adam and Eve. You don't know where my studies are in college, you don't know my physical talents, you don't know what I've gone through in life. So for you to make those comments on me as a person is pointless & ignorant bc you are completely uninformed.
Telling you to eat to your goal is "smart *kitten* advice"? The more you post, the more you show your lack of maturity.
Based on your posting, it is obvious that your college studies are not in the arena of the written word.
Actually you said that ALONG with other smart *kitten* stuff. So you can stop acting like you haven't been insulting my intelligence since the first comment you placed. Why would anyone care about what you had to say when you have so much extra unnecessary things to say.
If you would listen when simple advice is provided, people wouldn't get upset with you and try to drill simple concepts home. Take responsibility ... it's an adult thing to do.
What advice??????!!! The only advice I really got was grammar advice. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH EVERYONE FOR GRAMMAR ADVICE. Like 3 ppl have said that me eating 900 calories was a problem w/ trying to dog at me about a different forum. And that was all I wanted to know in the first place.
OK ... I tried to prevent you from lying but your continued ranting contradicts your earlier posts which makes that impossible. The grammar comments resulted from your failure to mean what you wrote. When you say one thing, but mean something completely different, it causes issues. That is a basic tenant of communication.
Here is the advice from page one:brianpperkins wrote: »Yes you do. You need to meet minimum nutritional needs of a human body, which you're not doing at 900 calories per day. Your MFP calculated goal includes the deficit needed to lose weight ... eating less than 60% of that goal is unhealthy.
This thread makes it look as though you quit the magic bean pudding diet you touted less than two weeks ago.
I like how you bolded the understandable part & not the unnecessary part that you just added to throw in my face.
The second part was necessary. It highlighted that you did not follow through on previous concepts.
If I were to go "English teacher" then I would note that you admitted that only the part in bold was understandable from your perspective.
Well my fault. I meant reasonable. And I felt it was unnecessary. You all want me to stop talking about diet fads so I completely stopped and yet someone always wants to bring up how I made a forum about it. So unless you want me to just talk more about diet fads, stop bringing it up and trying to be Mr.I Told You So. Just acknowledge the topic without adding things in like that. Bc he seemed like you being a smart *kitten*.-1 -

YOU SOUND SO FREAKING DUMB. OMG LOL. You are aggarvating lol. I SAID understandable. As in, that makes sense to me. I understand what he was trying to say, what he said and why he said it. But the bottom part was unnecessary to me and I didn't feel like he had to say that. You want to argue so bad that you want to find a flaw anywhere
Yes. If you say you understand some, what does that say about the rest? You don't understand it. You are getting angry about what you don't understand.
If you don't understand what people are writing, don't get angry. Ask for help understanding.
I am not trying to argue with you. There are clearly major issues here - - you struggle to understand what others are writing and you struggle to communicate via writing.

Good luck. Remember, if you don't understand what someone has written, you don't have to assume they meant the worst and lash out at them. You can always ask for help understanding what they meant.

Actually no. I said like 10 times that some people gave advice. I said you gave advice and a smart *kitten* comment which made what you said irrelevant. But anyway, its almost 11 pm in the buckeye state, so I'd rather get some sleep rather than waste the darkness replying to you when I really just don't give a *kitten* anymore lol.-2 -

Should I add more calories to my diet some how even tho my meals have been perfect for me? Do I NEED more calories?
What veggies are you eating that have zero or even very few calories? Maybe try different veggies that have more calories and similar or greater nutritional value.
Are you trying to lose weight? If so that means you can and have eaten over 1600 calories. Try a peanut butter sandwich, a slice or two of pizza, switch from low fat milk to full cream etc
I don't know add some cheese to you meals. Either separate or grated on top.
I eat a lot of baby carrots, avocados, peppers, and salads. Usually I just put a 1/2 a cup of tomatoes 30 carloies, TBS of bacon bits 25, 2 cups of lettuce 15,half a chicken breast 55, and 2tbs some type of condiment. See. Barely any calories. And I always drink 2 cups of water with my meals. And for snacks I always eat carrots or broccoli. Breakfast is probably my most diverse meal bc I know a lot of things I can eat at the time. Its different at dinner. I don't really know that many things that I would enjoy.
In my opinion replace the lettuce with anything else. Lettuce is like solid green water it has some vitamin A and I think that's about it. It's like your filling up on nothing.
Same for the water, maybe don't have the water so close to your meal so you fill up on food and not zero cal water.
Do you crumb your chicken? Crumbs seem to have a higher than expect calories.
No. I usually just grill my chicken on a grill. I figured it was just the healthy wat. I never thought of crumbing it. I'm going to try that. And I probably am filling up on water. I love water lol....idk if that's weird. But what do replace lettuce with? Rice?
Yeah rice and chicken go well together. I would probably get broccoli and Brussel sprouts over lettuce. Steam them up.
Yuck ! That's the worst! I hate Brussels sprouts lol. And warm broccoli has an aweful taste. I havent tried either in a while so im going too. The price I have to pay to be healthy is torture *sheds a tear*0 -
Half a chicken breast would have more than 55 calories. Are you weighing your food? You're probably inadvertently eating more than you think, which is good in this case.ayannabayer wrote: »ayannabayer wrote: »I've been eating a lot of veggies and they literally have no calories.

I would like to think you are truly grateful that people are trying to help you, but I see you are still posting angry comments to others.
Will you consider that your communication issues are causing you to create conflict?

I am pretty sure as a kid you have more taste buds or more sensitive to bitter tastes (so you don't wonder off and eat the poison berries). So kids don't like things like brussel sprouts. But adults have killed their tongue with beer wine smoking coffee chilli etc that Brussel sprouts aren't bad.
Maybe melt a little cheese in the broccoli. A little pepper.

A half teaspoon of olive oil, salt & pepper, shaken up over chopped veggies in a bag then roasting the veggies is the best thing ever.
Cheese is also good

I like them. Just got to steam them long enough so the core isn't raw/hard.
But I think I have always liked my veggies. Normally ate them first before the meat.

Are you trying to lose weight? If so that means you can and have eaten over 1600 calories. Try a peanut butter sandwich, a slice or two of pizza, switch from low fat milk to full cream etc
I don't know add some cheese to you meals. Either separate or grated on top.
I eat a lot of baby carrots, avocados, peppers, and salads. Usually I just put a 1/2 a cup of tomatoes 30 carloies, TBS of bacon bits 25, 2 cups of lettuce 15,half a chicken breast 55, and 2tbs some type of condiment. See. Barely any calories. And I always drink 2 cups of water with my meals. And for snacks I always eat carrots or broccoli. Breakfast is probably my most diverse meal bc I know a lot of things I can eat at the time. Its different at dinner. I don't really know that many things that I would enjoy.
In my opinion replace the lettuce with anything else. Lettuce is like solid green water it has some vitamin A and I think that's about it. It's like your filling up on nothing.
Same for the water, maybe don't have the water so close to your meal so you fill up on food and not zero cal water.
Do you crumb your chicken? Crumbs seem to have a higher than expect calories.
No. I usually just grill my chicken on a grill. I figured it was just the healthy wat. I never thought of crumbing it. I'm going to try that. And I probably am filling up on water. I love water lol....idk if that's weird. But what do replace lettuce with? Rice?
Yeah rice and chicken go well together. I would probably get broccoli and Brussel sprouts over lettuce. Steam them up.
Yuck ! That's the worst! I hate Brussels sprouts lol. And warm broccoli has an aweful taste. I havent tried either in a while so im going too. The price I have to pay to be healthy is torture *sheds a tear*
I am pretty sure as a kid you have more taste buds or more sensitive to bitter tastes (so you don't wonder off and eat the poison berries). So kids don't like things like brussel sprouts. But adults have killed their tongue with beer wine smoking coffee chilli etc that Brussel sprouts aren't bad.
Maybe melt a little cheese in the broccoli. A little pepper.
When I was young, cheesy veggies was my worst nightmare. Still haunts me to this day0 -

Gah, I would have to eat 3200cals to make this calculator somewhat accurate if I was looking to get some visible muscles. I struggle to make 1900 and I only eat vegetables, so I'm here because I somewhat agree with the OP.
As a long-time vegetarian, unless I resort to supplement shakes, beer and what I term 'junk food' it's a challenge to make 1900 cals - I'm 41yo, 89kg, 178cm and I workout moderately 5-8hrs/week with a light duty job.
Either the calculator is not good for general use or I am unable to understand how to use it.

That's what I was going to say.
If she thinks they have zero is She not logging them.
.....and I just skipped a head to the end of the thread where everyone is agro.
What happened?
You did good; OP doesn't want anyone to read the thread.

@GWehsling You'd be better off starting a new thread.

@christinev297 Nope. There are a lot of people here whose demeanour I don't agree with, but the basis of the OPs question is still there and I find relevance.
Ignoring grammar and all the grammar police - eating only veggies is a lot of veggies to eat to make goal. I decided last week that I would try a supplement and it's too soon to say if it works or not and I can't see if the OP is vegetarian or not but I highly recommend that route for ease of use and taste.
I will admit that I have cut just about everything that has been fried and this is a big thing for me, but I am also not here to lose weight but to try and gain food discipline, so I get the OPs point (yeah, excluding the use of 'literally').

As stated previously, you should probably start you own thread to get more advice. And you could also post there why you think protein shakes are "junk food".
Nope. I re-read that and I definitely did not ever refer to protein shakes or as them being junk food.

Huh? Have you checked the calories and protein (and high amount of fats) in nuts and seeds? How about oil to cook the vegetables in? Overweight vegetarians? Not a rare breed!As a long-time vegetarian, unless I resort to supplement shakes, beer and what I term 'junk food' it's a challenge to make 1900 cals - I'm 41yo, 89kg, 178cm and I workout moderately 5-8hrs/week with a light duty job.
<OK, I see you are avoiding deep frying, but that doesn't exclude pan frying; and last I checked noodles, pasta, and rice were both vegetarian and pretty caloric, and so is a corn and tofu based chili...>

Well then if you refuse to start your own thread your advice here will be limited. Especially considering that this thread could end up being locked.
I'm not asking for advice, I'm backing up the OPs point of view. I also challenged a suggested answer as not complete by adding that the answer seems unrealistic on it's own for which I supplied some evidence. I definitely mentioned I'm not here to lose weight, I definitely made no mention of Protein Shakes, certainly not as junk food.
You have chosen to interpret my posts in a way that is contrary to what has been written. Maybe there is a lesson here for all of us?0
