I like those toddler squeeze things, as snacks. Most only have about 100 calories, so I’m sure you’ll need other stuff too. I’m really hooked on the pumpkin ancient grains one. Maybe try some of those, and mimic the ones that are good, in bigger quantity. Pickle pops would be good for cravings. Miso soup is good, and you…

It looks like you have a much different build than me. As a soldier, I ate like that, and stayed around 101. I had way more muscle than now tho. Maybe my job doesn’t use that many calories. I’m an exotic dancer. It’s nothing like when I was in the military. Prolly just a couple hundred extra when I work. I hope you are…

1000-1200 doesn’t include exercise. I’d say it’s my mean tho. I don’t burn much when I exercise bc my weight is already so low. Maybe 300 for an hour at the gym. I’d say I eat back ab 2/3 of that currently, but 103 is still a little heavy for me. At 19/20 BMI, I’m ab 98 lbs. I’m actually a little under 4’11”. my job is…

I don’t think seats should be bigger bc that would raise the cost for everyone, including children, but they should be more modular, based on weight. It’s not perfect, but it’s not just fat people who take more space. Big guys w broad shoulders also invade into my seat. I have mixed issues about bigger people spilling into…

I’d call. I’ve been in an abusive relationship before. I couldn’t call bc he’d know, and he’d just see it as me being crazy and exaggerating, which would have made things worse for me. If someone else does it, then the abuser (or both of them) might see that they really are getting out of hand.

Many nice grocery stores have great salad bars, and places to sit and eat. Even the ones that don’t have washed and ready to eat fruit and vegetables, at a lower cost than the gas stations. I like ruby Tuesday bc of the salad bar, and on the border bc they have a good selection of fairly low calories options.

No, you sprinkle them w a little salt, cover them, and cook on lowish heat to break them down so they are tender. There will be a liquid and it will start to carmelize to the pan (not burn). You add water, or wine, to deglaze the pan.

If you use lemon, chili powder, and cumin, try serving w some chunks of avocado and fried corn tortilla strips (if you have the calories to spare).

Thank you for not wooing me. People don’t get how much smaller we are and how little calories we get. :(

I just put my stats into a calorie caluculator. At 103, it says I need 1275 to maintain if I’m sedentary (which I am if I don’t work or exercise. I consider my work to be exercise.) I could see that being possible. But then it’s normal for me to be 97 lbs also. I’m really small. Like a 12 year old. I was only 101, when I…

I don’t think it’s appropriate to laugh at me for it. I do have a physically demanding job, but I normally eat 1000- 1200. My dr told me that years ago when I was more sedentary, and was worried bc I’d been tracking calories and ppl here gave me so much flack about it. I consider my job to be exercise above my maintenance.…

I can’t imagine why anyone would mock and laugh at me for my size and maintenance calories. I’m 36 and I’ve been this size since 18, which little fluctuation. I’m not even skinny. I’m just really short and small.

red pepper flakes, tobasco, lemon, wine, bbq sauce. Cumin, and chili powder.

I’m 4’11” ab 103 lbs. I’m probably at a good maintenance weight for my size, but I need to stay fit for work, so I’m a perfectionist about it. My maintenance is around 1000-1200, and my job is very physically demanding. My dr says that 1000 is a reasonable maintenance for me bc I’m so small.

Honestly, I’ll just keep eating. I want stuff like pizza and quesadillas, but I’ll eat masses of veggies until it passes. The funny thing is, the next week, I’ll hardly have an appetite at all. I suggest having some go to volume recipes for these times. It’s a good reason to track your periods too since it helps to know…

If I go out to eat and have a mystery food, I’ll usually just log random calories to max out my day, or even add a couple hundred calories. If you are going to go back and get that all of the time, you might want to call and ask bc it could have a lot of butter, or oil, and be deceptively high calorie.

Recommended serving sizes on food packages don’t have to be (and probably should be) followed. There’s nothing wrong with four servings of veggies at a time, and only half a serving of spaghetti sauce.

I’ll try drinking coffee, and water, bc I might just be tired or thirsty. If that’s not it, I just eat and eat. Maybe, I’m not “hungry,” but I can probably use some nourishment. I try to eat low cal volume stuff at times like this. Stuff like skirtake noodles w some marinara, canned greens w hot sauce, miso soup, raw snap…

I’m such a sicko. I will get other people to eat to satisfy my food fantasies. Like, I’ll offer to make my boyfriend a quesadilla bc I want one.

Maybe. I’d try online this time of the year. They are all over the place in the spring tho.

I want to get a fifth wheel and travel around the country visiting the people I love, and living in new places.

Order a plant, if you can. They take a long time from seed to get big enough to harvest much.

Oh, I did sprinkle them w a little salt, bc I do crave salty snacks.

On your cookie thread, someone suggested peanut butter, oats, and maple syrup. I don’t like sweets, but I mashed up peanut butter and oats, and formed it into a party between plastic wrap, refrigerated, and cut it into little squares. My son and I will have a few on rushed mornings.

If anything, many vegan protein sources just require a bigger appetite, and can be very low fat. Take a can of spinach for example. The entire can has about 100 calories and 9 grams of protein. That’s about like a filet of tilapia, but a lot more filling, and a lot higher in fiber. Developing a taste for cooked greens make…

Do you make it up on other days? I make an effort to get to 1000, but I don’t worry about the deficit after that bc I’ll usually make it up on weekends.

Mostly, when I’m hungry. I might have an avocado, or a spoon of peanut butter if it evening and I’m very low on calories for the day. I’ll also try to eat something if I’m heading to work bc there’s no outside food at my job.

I like riced cauliflower, but I like the cauliflower chunky more. I usually make rice for others in my family, and I’ll just have a little, but then I’ll also have steamed cauliflower and cooked greens, with whatever the topping is.

Chives can be found dried, feeeze dried, or fresh. They are hardly little perennial plants in a garden, and they are very cute with little purple puff ball looking flowers. Unless you live somewhere very cold, you can harvest a little year round.

They are something different. They are a bushy little allium type plant. The chive part is like the leaves. The green part of a green onion is often substituted bc they are less expensive and also have a light onion flavor.
