It's not so much about calories but about a very specific eating plan to fight insulin resistance. If I were allowed to have it on this plan, I would love a nice hearty pan crust vegan pizza with oily sun dried tomatoes and artichokes on it, drizzled in garlic flavored olive oil.
Also, I would eat tofu every day in massive amounts.
I would order falafel and get all of the fancy sauces.
I would eat a veggie pita filled with deep fried seitan strips.
I would eat Pho Chay with fried tofu and extra rice noodles.
But I can't have oil, and I can't have the good kind of pizza crust, so I have to make my pizza with an oat based crust, no added oil, topped with plain roasted veggies. It's not quite as nice, but it's okay.
Tofu is too high in naturally occurring oil, so I can only eat a little at a time, and not every day.
Falafel and the seitan strips are fried and the best sauces are made with oil.
I don't get to eat rice noodles or fried tofu.
Also, I would like to get to eat real hummus with tahini instead of the special kind I have to make that is just mashed seasoned chickpeas, and I'd like to eat it on a fluffy Italian baguette dipped in truffle oil instead of eating it on homemade oil-free oat flatbread.
But these subtle substitutions for my favorites are supposed to keep me from becoming diabetic, so I guess it's worth it. I'm getting used to it. At least most of what I like has some kind of replacement that isn't off limits.

Hi Snail - I am curious, I thought consuming oil helps to modify insulin resistance. I understand some oils (soybean, corn, cottonseed, rapeseed, etc., ) are not good for anyone really and 'frying'/cooking part isn't good for sure. So, I understand you wanting to stay away from prepared items using them. I can appreciate you wanting to not consume white bread/crust too(floured products). But, couldn't you prepare your own dishes you listed, but with oils/sauces (olive oil/coconut oil you can consume? Along with modifying the foods you use them with? (sprouted breads/no flour breads) Plus, I thought tofu/legumes might be 'good' items for a diabetic? I too thought tahini/hummus would be a good choice for you?
Sorry - I don't know too much about diabetes - insulin resistance. Forgive my ignorance, but your post got me wondering all these things!🤔🤣0 -

In addition to some hunks of meat,
I marinated and smoked some tempeh yesterday. It's really good, and if it didn't have calories, I'd make a few pounds and have me a feast.
The cucumbers have almost no calories, so I can feast on those as much as I like. Sliced and sprinkled with salt and vinegar then chilled an hour or so. Still delicious even though it's almost no calories.
