Breakfast today was "strawberry lemonade" protein and greens smoothie 😍 For dinner, baked lemon pepper pollock with creamy thyme mushrooms. It was doable but I'm still looking for a way to eat white fish that i feel confident in! Trapped inside by the ice storm so lunch was leftover hamburger slop followed by frozen banana…

@mitymax96 slim Jims - excellent idea! i picked some up as soon as I saw your post and they're a hit. I'm going to get some for snacking in the house as well as packing for lunch! @eversmallory friend request accepted! I think people sometimes don't realise it's not a case of vanity/muscles when it comes to gaining weight,…

you could try drinking Ensure or something like that, I think it's supposed to be like milk, but it has a lot of nutrients in it and is calorie dense

I made myself a protein shake today with unsweetened almond milk and vega protein and greens after being off protein supplements for nearly a year. I was violently sick after. couldn't go 10 minutes without something coming out of my mouth or my rear. lasted 2 hours... after that I was perfectly fine? I could see it being…

I have a super similar problem! my boyfriend has an extremely low appetite, to the point where he takes medication before eat most days. the only really easy way to get him to eat a good out is to take him to one of his favourite restaurants (which is not a very economical answer lol) and even then sometimes he'll pass or…

breakfast time! french toast with a slice of chicken bacon!

I use almond milk (unsweetened, vanilla) which is only 35 calories per cup compared to 1% dairy milk which is 110, and sugar - free mrs buttersworth which is only 20 calories per 1/4 cup compared to my old go - to, which was 240 calories per 1/4 cup! then the only thing I have to worry about is the bread ;)

while i was putting groceries away, i took a swig of mrs buttersworth straight from the bottle. :|

5'3.5" and my goal weight is 110lbs. but my real goal is to fit comfortably in the pants i wore to my job interview last summer :tongue: I didn't own a scale until after i started here!

this one came out blurry but i was too impatient to take some backups :( I went calorie-heavy at the beginning of the day with a burger my mum made last night, so i went with a light and refreshing avocado bruschetta!

I'll have a protein shake or a cliff bar or something if it's really early. I have trouble eating before 830 am or so (I work the night shift 4 days a week, so yes that's very early to me!) so if I have to leave for work before that, something small that will keep me going and I can eat on the road is ideal. usually though…

I take pictures of my food almost every meal, but usually only to snapchat them to people, haha from friday, my favourite breakfast. Fried black beans with chili powder, avocado toast, and a poached egg with some fresh veggies for crunch. last night's dinner! kale and white bean stuffed ravioli in pesto sauce with a salad…

i'm 1200 and open diary! 37 day streak, i don't eat exercise calories (cus i don't exercise), honest logger. anyone can feel free to add me - I'm looking for more friends who have similar goals to mine!
-
I tend to keep both cow milk and unsweetened almond milk on hand! almond milk is such tastier for drinking, Imo. smoother, lighter, and doesn't leave that weird film in you mouth. Also great in smoothies! but there are some places you just a Hoult try to substitute dairy milk. like in Mac n cheese. never put almond milk in…
-
Mexican is my favorite diet food! I mean, at any restaurant it's hard to avoid overeating, especially one that's going to put cheese know everything. But honestly when I'm looking for a big, filling meal that's gonna keep me within my calories for the day, I'm always going for black beans and building a meal around that.…

burritos... burritos every day. you can put anything in a burrito! I like mine with fried black beans for protein (though obvs chicken or grilled beef would be amazing, i'm just terrible at cooking meat for some reason), corn, either freshly made rough chopped salsa or sauteed peppers and spanish onion, shredded cheese,…

I'm curious, what do you guys think of aspartame or other artificial sweeteners? I do keep an eye on my sugar, though I don't normally go over it as I don't really eat too many sweet fruits anyway, but I do often have stuff like 0 sugar jello pudding in my morning smoothies. Do you think it matters whether you have sugar…
-
I really like Luna bars! I prefer to eat simplyprotein bar, which has 15g protein for ~150 calories if I'm looking to boost my protein for the day (I don't eat a lot of meat, so it happens) but the Luna bars taste really great and I think they're a pretty nice breakfast on the run for days when I miss my alarm, or desserts…

I weigh and log daily! I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Obviously, fluctuations are going to happen, bigger meals and smaller meals (or bigger days and smaller days!) are going to happen, weight isn't entirely consistent or reflective of how healthy you are. So long as the overall trend is downward, I think…

thanks!!

i tried this with egg salad once! unfortunately, though not wholly unpalatable, the mashed yolks and avocado together turned a really nightmarish shade of green and i really... can't subject myself to that again... I haven't tried it with tuna though! That's an idea!
-
There were a couple of days recently where I was noticing the same problem. My appetite seemed to completely disappear, and i was struggling to eat more than 600 cals even on days I was working. just felt generally "off". turned out I actually had pneumonia and ended up bedridden for several days!
-
mine is open too! I'm on 1200cals right now, though i've been terrible sick since last monday, so I've been having a bit of trouble getting there.
-
After weeks of dieting, (i was on livestrong before here,) the scale finally budged... I dropped more than seven pounds in the six days! And not even a little bit hungry! I thought I must have finally cracked the code, all my hard work added up, or something like that... turns out those sniffles I noticed myself getting…

I've got a big jar of cashews.on my kitchen counter - not the most healthy of nuts, but sometimes you just need a handful of something crunchy and savory and between the two, I'd rather be eating cashews than barbecue chips! of course, I always log them, and always always eat them in moderation. especially since I read…

I used to never drink water, only pop and juice! now I'm drinking water almost exclusively, (sometimes coffee and tea), and I drink 2 to 3 litre of water a day. I don't know if I was drinking that much pop a day, but holy moly what a scary thought. that was the biggest, easiest weight loss change for me. next, I want to…
