  • That's about how I eat but I did not cut sugar or bread or my pop chips and cookies or whatever. Not because of the "processed" part but to slow myself down, I do have a "rule" where I can have cake and pastry and the like if I make it myself. That just makes me more thoughtful about eating the highest calorie density…
  • An oil spray and a good non stick gets you a fried egg with minimal collateral calories. I used to baste with the oil to get a set white and runny yolk, these days I use a pan with a lid and once the bottom is set, put the lid on and I guess steam it to where I want it.
  • My fig tree is enormous this year but everything is still green. I got half a dozen ripen about a month back but it's still working on the rest.
  • Some almond milks are different than others - I heat up the Silk basic unsweetened one for my morning coffee and use a milk frother and like it a lot. The Almond Breeze doesn't have the same richness in my opinion. Cashew milk barely froths. I get it's a bit tough to try giant cartons of things though if you end up not…
  • It's this stuff: https://coyo.com/us/product/yogurt-us/ It was in the dairy free/alt section at Whole Foods, I just picked like three randos to try. On their website they are calling it "coconut milk" based as well. Lies! I guess I'll cook with it at some point, it's a lot for my requirements just for a yoghurt pot.
  • This is easy to do with veggie meat crumbles too, super satisfying. I'd grill the scooped zucchini for a couple minutes before filling as well to help them be less mushy.
  • I saw that later! I guess it's buyer beware when they package it as "yoghurt."
  • Two meals from yesterday: Red cabbage (with apple, onion, garlic, vinegar) in the IP with some pan wilted kale and a handful of farro, and a seitan "brat." Sheet pan broccoli and great northern beans with some lemon and garlic, plant based parm and chili flakes. Egg from my hens. Is Vegan Thursday a thing? I don't count…
  • I'd have to know your height/weight/sex to know for sure, but that calorie burn is likely incorrect by a large order of magnitude. For reference - and based on several years now of maintenance using my numbers - walking 4 miles would burn maaaaybe 250-300 cals for me, 5'5 135 woman of 43. Also, I'd sweat more if it was…
  • If the relationship has had comfortable, convenient divisions of labour for an amount of time, any unilateral decision to change it is going to make a wave. This happens to be a sensitive one related to gender norms, but it could as easily be something like either party decide they're not running the kids to school any…
  • If you're not trying to also change his diet and habits, it'll probably help just to rub along for the time being making what you each want to eat and dealing with the extra labour. If you are trying to change up his business when he was happy before, there's your problem.
  • Nutzzo cashew - $12.99 where I am. Never sorry. Store nut milks because I scratch make many things but not that. Bing cherries when they're around.
  • I second this rec, lots of really great low fat/cal vegan dishes. Lots of all kinds, mix and match mains and sides, tons of options.
  • If I'm running, oatmeal with some fruit and nuts in. I put the oats and milk in a bowl while I drink a coffee and they are soft by the time coffee is done. Anything else it's usually yoghurt and fruit with some seeds or nuts.
  • Up at 5:30, dress in run clothes Coffee and breakfast, feed cats, goats, chickens, put postage on any packages going out (home business) Catch up on Facebook and Reddit and junk Theoretically out the door by 8 for a run Pick up groceries or feed or whatever if needed, drop mail at PO Home to shower, check work email,…
  • I feel like you're not having to work as hard to move your weigh on the treadmill as on road, you don't really have to push your whole self along the same. Also have a mind to your hip flexors if you do a lot of treadmill work, as the effort is also different than road - it's almost reversed in terms of where the strain is…
  • I would REALLY love to get insight into the pattern of brand new accounts bumping super dead threads. No "hi I'm new" or any other activity, just a fully formed response like in the middle of a conversation, but to something that they had to go and dig up on purpose.
  • Given that there's not much identifying info in my profile, I generally accept and then I just delete again if they are weird.
  • So he could just say that? "It's different depending on body composition but for you about XXX." Withholding information so someone can't make a decision for themselves is manipulative and controlling.
  • I made one once ages ago, it was pretty labour intensive and the recipe I used saved no calories and it was floppy. It didn't taste horrible but it was not bread-like at all.
  • Ask them where they post their nutritional information: https://www.wholefoodsmarket.co.uk/customer-service
  • Oh my word this kind of thing makes me irrationally angry. Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't know, wtf? If he's withholding knowledge because "he knows best" or he's dodging the answer because he doesn't know, either way it's red flags everywhere here. Oof. No.
  • Same. If you're talking about a bowl of iceberg with those paper thin shavings of carrot, it probably won't make more than 25 cals difference. That's not my salads, though :)
  • There'd be nothing in my dinner goal calories that I'd bother with tbh, I'd get to eat so little of it.
  • Lunch and the hours after. I run or hike in the morning and am very hungry by lunch, and usually also want some snacks/dessert type stuff and a coffee not long after. My breakfasts and dinners are light in comparison.
  • It may or may not "catch up" with you another day. I'd have probably seen a spike from a bit of retained water from eating more sodium than usual. Three slices of pizza isn't a big deal, either, but If you've been in a nice deficit for a week or whatever, your body doesn't just switch over at midnight and reflect that you…
  • There would be more resistance maybe, different not necessarily more of a burner, as you're not moving your weight as you are regular walking. I'd be tempted to log it as the lowest swimming rate.
  • If the workout isn't in the MFP database it won't come over. HIIT doesn't, e.g. so when using the "other" workout preset, just leave it unnamed.
  • Then why the Fitbit and why exercise? You need to ask your clinic, they will echo what you are being told here. 1200 cals eaten plus 200 or 300 or whatever cals eaten from extras from Fitbit is still 1200 net calories.
