  • German lentil stew: (2 servings) 2 Carrots,chopped into cubes or circles 1 large onion 50g red lentils 50g brown lentils 50g of chopped celery root (better with,but you can leave it out) 200g of potatoes (the best for boiling kind) 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley 2 cubes of vegetable stock 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar…
  • I was where you're at 3-4 months ago and I love food,I'm super lazy and losing weight never worked for me before. Now I'm down 28lb and I'm eating healthier and can judge food a lot better,I'm not starving and I didn't cut out ANY food I like - what tip can I give you? Don't set your goal too high, 1-1.5lb a week is…

I do this ... and it works very well for me. :) Weighing everyday…
  • I don't have any advice for you but you sound 100% like me (the beans,the tofu,the finding meat disgusting,not being able to eat smth where you can see veins or blood in the meat) you're not alone! We're in the same crazy boat. I let my boyfriend cut all the chicken I (sometimes) use to make sure there's no fat or veins on…
  • A vegetarian who eats fish is a pescetarian as far as I know and a fish is an animal..so it's not vegetarian. However don't just eat like a strict vegetarian or vegan because you think it's all or nothing - I eat mostly vegetarian and most of my meals are even vegan but I eat chicken breast occasionally. So I eat tofu,…
  • Chana Masala is my favorite :) All you need is canned tomatoes,chickpeas,onions,some pepper strips and cumin,masala spice,turmeric and it doesn't take long either.
  • This is what works for me every time: Bring water to bubble boil (so it`s cooking properly), cook them for 8-9 min for medium-firm, drain the hot water and immediately run cold water over them and keep changing the water so they cool down. Poking a hole in the shell can also help with that. I think the eggs shrink a tiny…
  • I really recommend you try tofu or similar - lupine seitan has 30g of protein per 100g and dried soy chunks around 20g - you just need to marinade it . I chuck in some fried tofu flavored with teriyaki sauce,7 spices,pepper with almost all my meals for the protein and something to "chew" . Consistency is close to sometimes…
  • We spend just under 100$ for two people and we eat a lot,I buy expensive food (organic,vegetarian burgers etc) so 40-50 $ is a lot for food - my friends have 20-30$ a week :) My ingredients for most meals: Wholemeal rice,noodles & bread Potatoes,Sweet Potatoes Carrots,onions,parsley,basil,garlic Tomato Pureé or readymade…
  • do I really need to eat 2100 calories a day? I thought that’s what got me to gain weight (but then again I never tracked calories when I was 190 lbs).. See this is the problem : I used to think I eat around 1500 calories a day when I was maintaining and possibly putting on a little bit of weight, I WASNT using a scale or…
  • I lost ~ 28 lb eating around 1500-1600 in 3-4 months with no exercise and I eat whatever I fancy - that makes for about 0.8kg a week which is the calculated target. I try to include protein where possible as it is more saturating,that way 1500 is easy for me to do without being hungry or greedy. I didnt stick to it all the…
  • I'm not sure why but it comes more natural to me to go on english forums and I find this one to be friendlier too - we don't actually have high protein yoghurts around here... it seems to be something popular in the US but all the natural yoghurts I know and can find have 3-5g Protein which is disappointing. Seems to be a…
  • Thank you for answering! (: I will try to skip the breakfast at home before, actually. I was having a really hard time going 3h without food today though, after waking up,even with the muesli. Everyone sat next to me was squirming as well, saying they were looking forward for break to get some food in (which is always good…
  • Thank you so much ! :) I've been looking around a lot but wasn't familiar with items and terms. The elastics seem like a good option - Believe or not,I have an Ipad and Android devices and never thought about getting an App haha. How did this happen. The Paper plates are nifty,but I need to wait a bit until I can do that.…
