spinach. celery. carrots. pickle?0

soup - make yourself, not a tin or packet.
my faves are japanese chicken noodle (with those shiritake noodles - 6cals per 100g), red pepper, chilli & tomato or butternutsquash.
i cheat and use a stockcube if i'm in a hurry though and they're a bit high in sodium.0 -
Bowl of cereal with some fruit - that's my plan for tonight after pigging out on sushi0

actually if you eat celery it takes more calories to digest it than the actual celery, so your actually losing calories when you eat it. just sayin0

there really is no calorie foods. Iceberg lettuce is has no nutritional value whatsoever. so possibly a salad with light dressing also she is just wanting to stay under her calorie intake. by consuming low calorie foods along with 0 calorie foods she will be able to reach or stay under her goal and still feel full. also comsuming 0 calorie foods she will burn more calories because the body burns calories to digest them.

i would say pass on the mcdonalds and make a breakfast at home. i usually do:
water
light and fit yogurt=80 calories
fiber one cereal=60 calories
2 egg whites=60 calories
that is a great breakfast and keeps you full for only 200 calories! =D
i'd rather eat 1 actual egg with the same calories than 2 whites - why remove the good bit just to save yourself from eating good 'fat'
and a mcdonalds breakfast once in a while won't do you any harm - everything in moderation.0 -
Vegetables only work as fillers if you pair them with protein and a touch of fat. Same goes with water. If I ate nothing but raw vegetables, I'd be more hungry afterwards than before.
The idea that there are no calorie foods is actually something of a myth. The afore-listed foods actually do have calories. Some are very, very low in calories, but most have a fair bit more than you'd expect.0 -

Let's talk about what's in fruits and veggies. Carbs mostly, right? Please remember that carbs/sugar = calories. These are healthy foods, and LOW in calories, but of course they're not calorie free, and linking to some website (called Dr. Granny, no less) doesn't make them calorie free. Please, please think a little/do your own research before passing on bad information for others to believe.0 -
Okay so I was bad and ate McDonald's for breakfast. I only have 551 calories left to eat for the day. Anyone have any ideas for a small or no calories meal?
Thanks bunches!
^^^This!
Nothing wrong with eating McDs as long as it fits into your macronutrients!
Chances are you under eat too much!0 -
Like steamed vegetables with soy and honey sauce.
The honey's the most high in calorie thing about it but you only need the tiniest bit otherwise it's overpowering.0 -
Salads with no dressing! Just veggies... lol (Sounds boring but it's low in calories and healthy..)0
-
Egg white scramble with veggies
Also vegetable soup, steamed veggies, canned tuna.
OH and prawns! only 70 cal per 100g!0 -
Yep! Looked at the diary.
You dont eat enough to properly lose weight.
Boost cals to 1600-1800!
Do a 90/10 rule!
Its easy!
90% unprocessed whole foods!
10% Junk!0 -
Eat lots of veges, they don't have a lot of calories, they're filling & good for you.
Whatever you do, don't starve yourself. And don't punish yourself for eating lots of McD's. Tomorrow's another day!0 -
I stopped worrying about daily calorie goals ages ago, I only really focus on the overall deficit. Your body doesn't reset overnight, you can always exercise it off, or eat a little bit less tomorrow!0
