I now know that a 3 egg omelette is impossible for me, good to know I suppose.

I read on one canned tuna that I got that it is skipjack tuna, which seems to be OK, but I think I will still try to not eat fish every day.

Maybe I phrased it poorly, but I've always had issues with eating enough of anything, or well, carbs I always got enough of, but protein and the calorie intake were (still are) far from goal. At the moment I'm not working out at all. I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm just trying to be more kind to my body, avoid future…

I'm asking for help/advice since I'm not good at these things, I don't want to make myself sicker. And I want to have a plan, else I will derail and "anything" will make me go back to an unhealthy diet, I can assure you, that's how I work. I need to start with being restricted. It's not permission I'm seeking, I need…

I'm giving this thread a little bump :) It would be cool it I could start soon, but I want to be sure about how I should eat before I start buying things.

Thank you for your reply :) I suppose I could try to do that, I am however a bit concerned about the Hg amount now as PAV brought it up, I know I've thought about it before, but for some reason I forgot. Even if the fish I eat is low on Hg, maybe I shouldn't eat fish every day? But how many days/week would be OK? In my…

Thank you for your detailed answer! :) (sorry about the wall of text following) I did calculate the calories etc of what I ate a year ago and it reached under 1000 kcal, I'm supposed to be eating approx. 1800. So I'm trying to get enough calories and everything I need. (I've not changed much about how I eat, sadly, so I…

If I want to keep my kitchen in order and not spend money on things I won't use it is for the best to keep to few things. I do have frozen broccoli as well, forgot to mention it, but over all, above seems to be what I see myself capable of doing. At the moment I avoid cooking by eating at my parents home. I have not…

Thank you for the tip, I'll try that later today :)

I guess I'll see if the physical therapist can check that for me. I'll put some money away for the ball when I have money. Till then I'll just do the other exercises + trying to stand straight (and sit straight). Thanks again, people. It will be nice to see improvement, whenever I'll do that.

Cherimoose, so all the other exercises/stretches etc that I've been linked to here is nothing compared to that ball? I need to ball to get somewhere? I mean, I did not compare getting the ball with not doing anything at all, I just wondered if the ball will really be necessary if I do a ton of other exercises. But if it…

Can't find any place that seems legit around here with good information about it. The price is also way too much for me to handle anytime soon, I rather save up for pilates and yoga, tbh. My forward head is caused by something else, but I understand that others might get it from looking in their phones. I like the idea of…

I'm incapable of pushing my chin back/push my neck back when I stand straight as in the last photo I shared, I just end up looking and feeling ridiculous. I hope exercise will help it look better x) I have been considering starting with pilates and yoga, but I have no money so I will not be able to do any of that before…

Is it free? Else I can probably not afford it.

Thank you all for the answers! When I try to stand straight (without pushing anything that makes it uncomfortable) it kinda feels like I press together the vertebrae and stretch out the stomach to chest area...kinda. Maybe you all know what I mean but I literally know nothing about this, and I've never had good posture, so…

By reading all these comments it feels almost as if exercises are a waste of time since a normal posture will never be my normal posture. I really hope it is not like that. I hope that my body will at least change a bit, that it will be far easier to hold a good posture and that my "slacking posture" will be a bit more…

Even children? I think I need more than just thinking about standing straight, but I guess the links I've already gotten might help with that. The part where I straighten up my mid-part/back is easy, that I can do, but the shoulders and the neck is not. I don't know if I've ever been able to correct the forward neck thing…

Thank you both. I thought it might be due to something like that (short muscles). I do not have a smartphone, so I can't have any reminder app, I'll just try to remember it myself.

No need to belittle me, thank you. I doubt all kids around me, all adults etc walk around thinking "stand straight, stand straight" all day long. Atm it makes it harder to breathe to take my shoulders back to where it looks like they should be, like I have a weight on my chest. It is not pleasant, sure it looks better, but…

Thank you for the links, btw. I have no 45 cm ball + that looks like I would fall off and hurt myself, haha, but thanks x)

Jeez, always? So I will never get rid of the bad posture? I know I can stand to make it look better, but that is very tiring and something I have to think about. I am hoping to get to a point where it will look okay when I'm not trying to stand right, like, just a better posture. I have tried walking around thinking "stand…

I think it will take some time before I do that food diary every day. It is a bit difficult when I eat somewhere else very often. But I will try to do it every day starting this saturday, or well, not every day since I will travel next weekend, but yeah.

All I know is that they on the "national food agency" (still don't know if it is actually called that in english) canned tuna does not contain that much mercury. I would only eat half a day (meaning 70 g), so to me it doesn't sound bad. Cheap + protein and stuff + can make it taste good = win for lazy me.

I add a lot of things in swedish since I buy swedish stuff, so I'm not sure how much people would understand x) Maybe it is not that hard. I can open it either way, I don't see why not. I will try to add cottage cheese to the supper instead of the tuna (like I did yesterday) and instead add some vegan alternative to sour…

Alright :) it sure is way more than I've eaten before, I am a bit curious how my body will react to this in the long run. Maybe I won't notice any difference, haha.

Haha, yeah, I realize that :P I don't think I have ever known how much food I really should eat. I don't think I have ever eaten enough food if this is how much I should eat. It is interesting. I will try to get it up a little more, guess I could add an avocado every day as someone suggested earlier, will make me about 20g…

I tried that to eat like I said I would yesterday, it felt like I was eating so much but I am still 192 calories below what I should eat and ate 85g or protein (program says I should eat 92). I did eat "a double dose" of banana+peanut butter just because I thought I would need it, and I suppose I did. It feels like a lot…

I tried to eat differently yesterday. This time it reached 85 g, so only 8 g short. That gives about 1.55g protein/kg for me, and then I am counting on my actual weight and not lean body mass, so maybe that is fine?

I don't drink coffee, else that sounded pretty smart :) Thank you for the tip about freeze-dried food, I will look that up! ETA: waaay to expensive for me. Interesting, but sadly nothing I can go on.
