I don’t think it changes from raw to cooked as all that happens when u cook stuff is water gets evaporated from the meat and a few nutrients get lost, as far as I know. If u know the weight of the raw meat before it was cooked, just count that. Otherwise, if cooked pork is on the database, just add that. If ur eyeing the…

I just eye the weight of veg/meat/rice etc on the plate, add about 1-3 tbsp of oil depending on what it looks like, the type of takeaway place etc, and a tbsp of mixed spices. Try to estimate the ingredients.

PB2 Choc is the best for me - doesn’t rly taste chocolate-y but it somehow tastes better anyway. Regular pb2 can be used in savoury cooking like for a satay flavoured stir fry etc. Also if ur making hot choc, if u stick a sneaky tsp of pb2 in there it tastes wonderful. Otherwise I just mix a few tbsp of PB2 choc with a bit…

Where I shop, in the UK, the lowest fat beef mince is 5-7% fat and turkey is 2%. Theres a reasonable cal difference so I get turkey. Same with sausages - turkey sausages actually have a nicer texture and are only about 80 cals for a normal sized sausage

Costa had these new vanilla/strawberry milk whip things and OMG.... They taste BETTER than a regular milkshake and are ~80 cals for a small?

I second sugar free drinks ;) Especially Coke Zero, not Diet Coke, for sweetness, sugar free sprite etc are all good options Also sugar free sweets are slightly lower calorie Recently I’ve found 200ml sugar free Capri sun oranges in a multipack in Sainsbury’s and if I feel like I’m about to u leash the kraken on some…

Agreed. And also, it’s like 2 calories and an appetite suppressant so it’s a win win.

Have you looked at muscle gain? You could be losing fat but gaining muscle? Otherwise I would say u simply have a slow metabolism. One trick I use is to have a day of high calories (~2,000) followed by low (~1,000). This works for me, I eat a less than 1,000 but would not recommend as its unhealthy. Also, you can look at…

Ugh pastry, Nutella, cake, chips, oil...

JFT 1. Burn off calories that are over my deficit goal 2. Decent amount of sleep 3. Water 4. Stop freaking out over small weight gains

I would also think about your body’s natural set-weight point because you mentioned that you are in the healthy weight range, so maybe it wouldn’t hurt to either stay where you are or even gain back a bit? Some people are wired to be certain weights, and their quality of life can decrease (fatigue, etc) if they try to…

Edit: Your BMR is the calories u burn at rest- so if u maybe find a calculator for that, and then add the amount u think u’ve burned for the day that could also calculate your TDEE. I personally eat for my BMR which is ~1,300, so then if I do 10,000 steps that day, I know I can add on 100 calories to my allowed 1,000

Right so, it varies day to day. For example: Monday: out(1,600) in (1,400) Tuesday: out(1,400) in(1,200) Wednesday: out(2,000) in(1,800) Basically, you guesstimate the amount of calories you’re gonna burn that day, and then eat that amount minus your desired deficit. Hope this helps take care ❤️

This isn't too different from what's already on here, but it could be emotional eating? Either that or it's your body's reaction to eating a little less - it's completely normal and I struggle with this too - just need to find effective ways to cope is all take care peeps :)
