  • Thats a good idea, although I'm not sure how to not get the egg whites or eggs to not stick to the pan without using butter or oil. I tried using a spray here in the Netherlands, but it didn't work at all.
  • Sorry, it's just a sensitive subject for me since I had to change my whole life style and eating habits because of my condition. It's not that I don't want eat those things, in fact I would love too, but I have to be careful with my stomach. Trust me, it's not fun having to run to the bathroom constantly. What did people…
  • That is wonderful! I'm glad to hear the full fat greek yogurt is more filling. :) I had it today with berries and thought it was delicious! I never heard of overnight oatmeal, but your recipe sounds delicious! If you don't mind me asking, what is the point of putting it in the fridge over night? Does it add more flavor or…
  • The apple I eat is 110 calories. I also ate a banana for 110 calories, so 220 calories for 1 apple and 1 banana. I do eat eggs and egg whites, but I like to eat other things as well. Are you serious? If I didn't want to change anything, then why am I asking for opinions and even using them? I tried greek yogurt with…
  • Your absolutely right! I do get 220 calories just from 1 apple and 1 banana. But I don't mind since there healthy calories and have lots of vitamins. :D I find it better to eat fruits and veggies since it helps me not go overboard for dinner. It's better to eat 110 calories in a piece of fruit than to eat a extra 600…
  • If full fat yogurt is more filling than the 0% yogurt, I will be extremely happy. :D I really am just trying to find foods that are the most filling. I know how you feel :( Here in the Netherlands, Fage is the only 0% one we have and it's so expensive! I did have scrambled eggs before, but I couldn't have it too often…
  • Thanks :D As you can see, every meal I eat doesn't really contain a lot of calories. So I think it's alright. I think it's better to eat fruit since there are a lot of worse things and honestly, I'm not sure what else is healthy that I could have as a snack. Do you have any recommendations? I also have used boiled eggs as…
  • Thanks for your opinion! The bread I eat is only 115 calories and it's whole-grain. :) It actually has a lot of protein in it as well! I find it satisfying and more filling, so I always keep it :) The bread I eat is really just a small roll, but I find it delicious and it satisfies my need for a sandwich without as many…
  • Thank you for the suggestions. I actually know almost all the calories already from the meals I eat since I eat a lot of the same things every day. I know all the calories, but not the macros completely. It's hard for me to find out all the macros of my meals since at dinner every night, someone else cooks something. So it…
  • The problem is the first meal I eat needs to be a light meal :( If I wake up at 2 PM and eat my first meal of the day, it has to be light or it will really upset my stomach. I normally eat 700-900 calories at night since I'm always starving to death by night even though I eat a lot of small meals through out the day and…
  • Yeah it really does suck having to stick to lighter meals always. I do eat frequent small meals though out the day, but I always am hungry. I think maybe I just have a huge appetite ha ha. I'm thinking about making some boiled eggs for breakfast. I use to eat scrambled eggs with veggies, but the oil was to greasy for my…
  • I actually love eating leftovers for breakfast and don't mind heavier meals. But I have IBS, so I can't eat anything too heavy in the morning or I will have problems with my stomach :( Even eating lighter meals gives me some issues, but not as much as something heavier. Though I still do it occasionally from laziness and…
  • thank you :) I can be picky about my calories if they won't fill me up or satisfy me. The chicken is a good idea, but a bit too much for breakfast.
  • My calories are fine, but I'm really just trying to find more filling foods since I'm hungry a lot. I actually haven't used MFP in a long time to track my calories or macros. I usually just write and weigh down everything on paper since I don't carry a computer with me everywhere. Then I figure what's the point of adding…
  • The problem I always am hungry if I drink my calories like a meal supplement, protein shake, or smoothie. So it doesn't fill me up at all and I'm still hungry. So 120-155 is a lot of calories to me if it won't fill me up and I would have to eat something else after.
  • That's true. Here in the Netherlands, the Greek yogurt options are very limited and expensive. In the U.S., there's so many options and it's a lot cheaper. ha ha.
  • The only reason I'm trying to find more protein based foods since because I heard eating more protein and fiber will keep me fuller longer. Since I'm always hungry, I figured it is worth a try. I also thought about protein powder, but it just has so many calories. I do eat eggs, but I'm also looking for other options.…
  • I do eat egg and egg whites, but I was looking for other options as well. :)
  • ha ha :) But honestly, the only reason I'm trying to find more protein based foods since because I heard eating more protein and fiber will keep me fuller longer. Since I'm always hungry, I figured it is worth a try. I also thought about protein powder, but it just has so many calories.
  • That's good to know! I'm not super low in protein, but I constantly am hungry. So I'm trying to get higher protein based foods since I'm hoping it will keep me full longer. :) Also congrats on the weight loss!
  • Thank you :) It's a start to being healthier! I actually haven't used MFP in a long time to track my calories or macros. I usually just write and weigh down everything on paper since I don't carry a computer with me everywhere. Then I figure what's the point of adding it since I already know what my levels are and don't…
  • I know I'm over thinking it, but my protein macros tend to be on the lower side and since I'm always hungry, I want to find things with more protein to keep me full. I know greek yogurt won't help alone, but I thought it could be a step to getting a bit more protein in my diet. I actually like both oatmeal and greek yogurt…
  • Thanks for the suggestions everyone :D Sorry for freaking out, I'm just trying to find a way to get more protein in my diet and I'm worried about making the wrong choices. Also I wanted to eat something with more protein to fill me up more :)
  • I understand that full greek yogurt has less protein than the lower fat one. But if I pick a greek yogurt that is 0%, it still has less protein than the oatmeal?! Brinta per 100 grams: Energy: 1452 kJ Energy: 350 Kcal Saturated Fat: 0.4g Proteins: 14 g Which sugars: 4.6 g Thiamine / Vitamin B1: 0.43 mg Phosphorus: 297 mg…
  • I normally eat 50 grams of oatmeal per day which is 7 grams of protein.....and it's still more than 125 grams of greek yogurt urg. I'm not sure what the different is of a protein based plant.
  • Wow I would be so happy if I could buy it in bulk! Unfortunately I've only seen Fage and other brands in 500 grams when I checked several stores. It sucks because there also expensive. Fage 0% is 3 euro per 500 grams :(
  • Hey guys, I was just looking at the whole wheat oatmeal I eat, and while it is more calories, it looks like it has a lot more protein and vitamins that the greek yogurt which is strange since I heard greek yogurt is a lot better. Brinta per 100 grams: Energy: 1452 kJ Energy: 350 Kcal Saturated Fat: 0.4g Proteins: 14 g…
  • Wow that's actually a pretty great idea!
  • Fage Total 0% was actually the one I really liked and wanted to get :D But it was just so expensive. :( I got 1kg for 1.50 euros, but Fage 0% was 3 euros for only 500 grams which can get expensive, especially since I can only use it 4 times if I eat 125 grams.
  • I wouldn't necessary say I have a good choice either. I can get one that is 1.50 euro and it comes with 1kg which is the one I got, or they have 0% with a lot of protein, but it's only 500 grams and it cost 3 euros! The one for 3 euros seems pretty expensive, especially since I would only be able to use it 4 times. :( If I…
