Protein powders that I like (I'm vegetarian):
Nutvia hemp protein blended with coconut milk and a banana, or greek yogurt;
Now pea protein mixed with apple juice
I also like to bake kale tossed in olive oil and salt as a popcorn substitute.0 -

Maybe you could open your diary so we can get a sense of what you're eating now? For instance, if you're eating salads, add some avocado, chicken, etc. If you're eating oatmeal for breakfast, add fruits, nuts, nut nutter, and honey. It sounds like you just need to bulk up your meals! If you're eating a lot of lettuce, you may be filling up on water which is good to staunch appetite for a lot of people, but it sounds like you may need more calorie dense foods.
Oh, and congrats on your first 10lbs lost!0 -

What exactly are you hoping to accomplish? You have to figure out how to make this work for you. We can give you advice but it's up to you to make it happen.
Well I started by saying it was a rant but I was hoping for advice from someone who has been through it.
So far I've received messages and great comments with suggestions.
So despite comments of fat shamming and pretentiousness, I have accomplished what I intended to obtain so far. And because of that, I feel it was worth it to share what I am going through. Thanks.0 -

So you have no known medical conditions as of now but your doctor put you on a zero carb diet!?!? That makes no sense ,unless you have a medical condition that you didn't mention ( for the record, you don't have to give any info that makes you uncomfortable but it will help us to give you the most accurate advice if we have the full story ) if he told you to eat zero carbs for weight loss, then he also forgot to exaplain cico and that weight loss comes down to cico. Low carb can be a means to lower your calories but there is also other options . again , it comes down to calories in - calories out for weight loss.
You can eat all the foods you love , within your calorie goal for weight loss . I eat cupcakes , candy and so on , in moderation while meeting my calorie and macro goals. If you like rice , then have rice ( as long as there is no medical conditions that warrant you to avoid the item ) , but just make sure its the correct portions.
If you truly have no known medical conditions, then eat the foods you like , meet your calories and macros . moderation works.0 -

If it's latter, you can fill up on fattier cuts of meat, add cheese and butter to your vegetables, eat more nuts, etc.
Yea, low carb diet is probably what he meant. I'm sure he'll enforce when I tell him of my rapid weight loss. I don't think a little bit of carbs would hurt. great suggestions thanks!

I rarely eat carbs in forms that have little fiber, for health reasons. I do eat at least two servings of fruit a day, whole grain with added bran cereal, low carb tortillas, brown rice. Beans, almonds, chia seeds, baked fish, grilled chicken, lean cuts of beef. I eat a large salad (about 50 grams of dark green leafs) bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, celery, etc. I drink 2-3 cups of skim milk, low or no fat cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt. Olive oil, vinegar and water based salad dressing.0

The purpose of me being on MFP is to be an open book. Even if that means getting judged by 2, I'll get relevant feed back from 5. With that being said, I am honest when I say I don't know if I have any medical conditions. I did say that I got blood work done a week ago and the results will be in any day now.
I know that lying would only hurt MYSELF since you guys are trying to help ME. Lol. I wouldn't waste my time.
Speaking of rice, I have been craving Chicken Tikka Masala so I might just add that to the menu.0 -

So you liked maccas chicken nuggets.
Why not have some chicken kebab sticks, chicken Kiev, chicken Caesar salad, chicken schnitzel.
Drink milk? Try full cream.
A banana, fruit salad and grilled chicken just isn't enough if your also killing it at the gym.
Doesn't sound like your getting enough protein or fat.

Your welcome!!! I also love turkey tacos! They have low carb wraps you can get from the store it makes a very good meal!0 -
Also with this being your first week of weightloss (right?) and going for zero or no carbs wouldn't a large majority of the 10 pounds just be water weight?
So next week you might only lose 3-4 pounds if your doing the same thing again.

Ya'll are making me hungry!
I suggest cottage cheese, humus, baked sweet potatoes, guacamole, and egg salad
I mostly eat what we refer to around here as "sad chicken." It's just chicken breast with ms dash! I pair that with veggies most nights.0 -
How long have you been at this? A week? When I started I had a hard time filling my calories. I was kinda scared to eat. But that'll pass. Don't worry! I like to call it "Diet Adrenaline"! Once it wears off, it gets harder, don't worry. If you have a medical condition for restricting carbs, mention that in the future. You'll get more positive feedback. Doctors like to give suggestions on the "healthiest" possible diet, but life doesn't work like that. Did he have a rock hard bod and in the peak of health? I've met maybe 2 doctors who actually looked healthy, IMO. Anyway, I digress. Getting a kids meal, is EXACTLY what you can do. I used to get a big sundae or shake, now I get a kiddie cone. I would have 2nds or 3rds at dinner, now I have 1 serving. But I eat all the same foods. I'm only down 19lbs so far, but this is the BEST I've ever felt losing weight, and I've tried EVERYTHING out there. EVERY........THING!
Many a great mind have this mantra
Weight loss is in the kitchen, health is in the gym. Don't be bustin your butt at the gym when you can't even get 1000 calories down. You could do organ damage if it goes on long enough.
I've lost 10lbs the first week on every diet I've tried, so that's nothing to worry about.

Oh wait there's the shaming. It's from you.
What I said was in response to her fat joke. I defended myself. Don't expect someone to fight fire with water. I never initiated the "drama". When the pot is calling the kettle black and made fat shaming comments towards me, I'm wondering why you are only quoting the one defending herself and not the one that initiated the situation since you felt the need to involve yourself...
Right is right and wrong is wrong... but I see you like to pick and choose.
You didn't acknowledge her comment but you saw mine. LOL. At first I thought you couldn't read nor comprehend. But then I realized you were just being passive aggressive.
Shocking.
You won't derail my thread. Not on my watch. Goodbye.

I saw you mentioned salads, add more protein to them like a boiled egg, or avocado. snack on a bit of popcorn for snack or a greek yogurt and a banana. its easy to add up calories when you add enough protein to your eating
Omg yes popcorn and yogurt! Great suggestions for snacking around. Thank you.
Popcorn is a carb...not that it is a bad thing.

try eating some fish and grilled chicken. you can also have some carbs. I stay away from white carbs. so like white bread, white rice, pasta. i don't know know about everyone else but they do not keep me full for long and make me CRAVE chocolate.
try brown rice, farro, quinoa, (i wasnt a fan of quinoa but i hear people love it, but i LOVE farro)
It's very easy to incorporate veggies. i like to add spinach to everything i eat. peas are also good. you can just mix it in the grains.
i don't measure/log everything i eat but i do measure my carbs and fruit so i'm not over eating. i also will measure out my meat. i have a scale that tells me the nutrition facts for the amount of food i put on it. basically you type in a code and weigh your food. like cherries or a peach, raw salmon. sometimes ill weigh something and not like that this tiny amount of food has THIS many calories to ill opt for a healthier alternative.

that's the scale i have.
