I have blenders (hand held and "normal one") but packed down in a box far back in a storehouse (not sure if it is called any of that, but I think you understand). If I had it here I could use it, but now I don't and I don't feel like buying another one. So atm smoothies are nothing I will attempt, no matter how tasty. I…

I have a tiny kitchen and not much space to keep foods at, I'm trying to keep it simple. I have never made smoothies without dairy products, so that would be an issue too. And I have no blender.

Haha, yeah. It will be interesting to see what g of protein I come up to if I eat the way I will try tomorrow. I will not push myself to eat more than I can since I want to be able to eat like that every day without feeling sick, so if I don't reach the right protein amount I will buy protein powder. Seems like the…

I see, but that doesn't change that I would have to eat large (to me: extreme) amounts of broccoli or spinach to get that amount of protein x)

I already eat many of the foods in that picture, and as I said before: I don't like the way they're talking about protein in it. Feels like it wants to trick me into thinking I'll get 45g of protein by eating 100g of broccoli. I am completely unable to stuff myself endlessly with food, I can take portions that are the size…

I will try to eat cottage cheese, I'm not sure if my skin will like it but I will try. I have only seen canned tuna when it contains 150g of tuna, maybe there are bigger ones but that I definitely don't want, 150g is probably already a lot for me to take down, half would be easier for sure. How small cans are you talking…

I don't want to add a boiled egg (I have one hob plate and I will need it for the oatmeal) or cheese (it is dairy, cottage cheese for one meal sounds like enough dairy to me). What type of meat can I add easily that doesn't need cooking and feels alright to eat along with oatmeal? half a ölkorv? (dense, slim sausage…

As in protein powder?

I guess I could switch up and have oatmeal as breakfast, I have applesauce that I like to have with it... and I guess I could mix chia seeds into it

I think I will try to add cottage cheese and see how my skin tolerates it :) Just thinking out loud now: Adding more eggs to the omelette is not an option, I think I said it earlier, but a normal 2 egg omelette is already a lot for me. I could add one avocado to the breakfast and maybe have a banana as a snack before…

Thank you for the advice, I have not even noticed any green check marks, I will look for them next time!

Alright. I thought the national food agency (or whatever to call them) was a good place to look, but I will do what you say :) Sounds easier, and if it is better I guess it is .... better.

I know that, that is why I am trying to fix the food part. I don't think I will start exercising before I get my food right.

Okay, so I should just ignore all entries about food that is not raw? Like boiled/fried etc? I suppose that makes it easier. Thank you all for the help :)

Thank you for the picture and the explanation :) I have to run to work now, but I'd say I probably look mostly like the 20-22% one. I don't have any muscle-definition so it is a bit hard to compare to the lower ones. Oh well, gotta run

Alright, I did look at that in the beginning, but does it add the proteins etc on its own? I'm still not sure about it since when I added other peoples omelettes it didn't add anything other than calories. And then about the calories the eggs got, how to go with that? Should I go with what one egg (60g) =120 when fried in…

Oh, I see. I have no idea what my bodyfat % is, I know I did a calculation online once, but I don't really trust those results. I am 55 kg and 168 cm. I do not have much musclemass (weak-*kitten* over here). I'm not sure how to accurately figure it out without spending money, haha.

Thank you for the answers, I am considering buying protein powder since it seems easier than just shoving down more food to get to the right protein amount. Is carbs or fat better if you want to build muscle?

Oh, I see. But eggs differ so much depending on if it is raw or fried, I'm not sure why that is. I'm not sure what I should put that the omelette contain, I mean, I really don't. Two eggs ~60g, 2 tablespoons of water and some salt and pepper... Seems so simple but why are all the omelettes showing different things? And why…

Thank you all for your answers! For some reason it looks like I've gotten more replies on notification than I can actually see in the thread, which is slightly confusing, anyone know why it is like that? some members have a noob-nope? (prevent noobs like me from seeing their replies?) :D I use a scale. The eggs were 60g…

Thank you for the links, I looked at them all but will go through them a bit better later, so much information :) Seems like I would have to add a fourth main meal with only protein to make this work atm. I eat around 80-100g of meat when I have meat, I get completely full when I eat so I don't think I could add more to…

Thank you both for the answers, due to what I've read elsewhere I always thought 50g of protein would be enough for me, now I'm not sure what I should get the rest from. Have to figure that out.

Thank you for the tip! I'm not sure if I am able to tare this scale that I have, but I suppose it would work just as fine to just put it there and see how much goes away.

Thank you for your answer :) I have realized that I eat too little, so it was probably good that I started counting calories (I eat ~ 1050-1100 kcal a day instead of 1850). I need to figure out what I can add that will be easy for me. I tried to save some meals, will I be able to remove things from that saved meal if I…

Thank you both so much for the answers! I guess 1.7g is not too bad then :) and thank you for the link!

Noooow I found something that sounds more like it! Took me looking silly here first to find it, looks like it is easier to find things on this site by using google than to search on this site >_>

I see that they mostly go by "1 egg" and not "100g egg", but still, my eggs were about 60g each, which would make 118 kcal (for one fried egg), none of them have that.

I've bought a scale now and I've weigh all I had in my breakfast, but I am getting confused by the system to add meals here. Like, I ate omelett, 2 eggs. When I search for eggs on a site that I am more used to I get very different calories for boiled, raw and fried eggs. Since I made an omelett I went with fried since that…

Thank you for explainging how to do, I will check that out :smile:

Thank you all for your answers! They help, they really do. I don't have a scale at the moment to weigh my food on (will buy one), I am planning on starting to count calories. I have no idea how many calories I eat every day as it is now, I just eat till I'm no longer hungry and try to eat healthy things (eggs, veggies,…
