This is true. I found out that my 1/2 cup measuring cup was shorting me by quite a bit. I can eat way more oatmeal if I weigh it. And apparently, I buy really small bananas because I was overestimating those, too. Get a scale. You can eat more.

Rule of thumb on gluten free processed foods or baked goods: almost all of it is disgusting, but it is all much better than it used to be years ago. Brownies are one of the few baked goods that almost always taste good gf. Udi's gf millet chia bread is good; I'm not fond of their white bread. Trader Joe's gf bread is fine.…

For those of you spending the day alone, a cornish game hen makes a perfect turkey for one. And Anchor Hocking makes a lovely 6" pie pan that holds about 1/3 of a pie recipe.

We're having about 8-10 family members and grandma is hosting. There'll be turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, 3-4 kinds of cranberries (canned jelly, homemade cranberry sauce, cranberry orange relish, and possibly cranberry marshmallow whipped cream "salad"), plus I'm sure a lot more. We like food. We'll usually…

I weigh most things most of the time, but not everything all of the time. I almost always get to eat more when I weigh food rather than using measuring cups/spoons or estimations. Other people seem to have the opposite problem.

I knew. I think a lot of people on keto diets aren't actually in ketosis because they eat too much protein. And all weight loss requires us to limit the amount of calories. The different plans really just make it easier for people to do that. One person may find that a balanced approach is the most satiating. Another may…

I do it frequently, usually when I'm working or when I want to eat something that doesn't fit into a 3 meals and a snack style menu. Some days I'm hungry so I eat more often. Some days OMAD is easy and I don't even give it a thought. For example, if I want pizza, I probably want to eat 3-4 slices of pizza and I probably…

Thank you so much. I occasionally buy insanely expensive frozen gf spring rolls, but I'd much rather make them.

The current US dietary recommendations have resulted in an explosion of diabetes, heart disease and obesity, so clearly they are wrong. And Americans have changed their diets over the decades to comply more closely with those guidelines. We were healthier before. You do have the issue that, for example, only about 1/3 of…

Trader Joe's corn chips with spinach dip, and pizza.

I've been trying to find a new scale that doesn't have that memory feature. It's annoying. And preferably, one not made in China. So far, no luck.

I remember learning about food group boxes and, later, the food pyramid in school. I also took home ec where we learned about planning meals and cooking. I don't think there was much else. My school didn't serve food...we brought our own lunches up until high school. The high school did have some food for sale. There were…

Yes, pretty much all instructions I read were in agreement that it should be cooked 7-9 minutes. It was not a large squash. I cooked it for 8, did natural release for about 15 minutes. It was hard as if I hadn't cooked it at all. I even rechecked to verify I hadn't left the vent open. I repeated the process and it was…

You're supposed to eat them. I recommend eating them. If you find you're not losing weight, then cut them back to 2/3 or half. But why not start out eating as much as you can so you have something to cut back on when you get smaller?

Are you sure you are bloated? Maybe that's just what your stomach looks like. There's a thread on here somewhere entitled something like "Does this uterus make me look fat?" Could be you're just female rather than bloated.

I bought one on a Black Friday deal last year. I'm trying really hard to start using it, but really it was a waste of money for me. I don't like the texture of chicken cooked in it. I spent an hour cooking a spaghetti squash in it yesterday (I had to cook it twice as the first time it didn't get done at all). It would have…

Either find a similar restaurant online that offers nutrition information (assuming the restaurant you went to does not) or find a recipe online that looks similar and add up the calories in the ingredients (then add 100-400 calories to the total just because restaurants tend to be much more caloric than home cooking. Try…

You can eat anything at all on a calorie deficit. And meat is a whole food, to reference your other post.

What do you like to eat, specifically? Just eat that, but less of it.

I usually use Bing and prefer making recipes from people's blogs rather than from professional cooking websites. I haven't used my Instant Pot much, but the past month I've been trying to learn to use it more. Mostly, I use it to make yogurt or stock. I cooked some sweet potatoes in it that turned out very well and then…

Cereal? Last night's leftover dinner? A latte? Veggie hash? Cottage cheese bowls?

You're probably looking for something like refrigerator pickles. Most people's grandmothers made those in the summer. You can search for refrigerator pickles recipes or here's a link to 1 recipe https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/quick-pickled-cucumbers

Not sure I understand your question. Net carbs are carbs minus fiber. Some people choose to count net carbs. Some choose to count total carbs. I suppose whether you do would depend on why you are doing keto and how easy it is for you to stay in ketosis. If you're doing it for epilepsy, I believe you count total carbs, but…

You could buy some waterglass and preserve the eggs to use in the winter when your chickens aren't laying so many. I eat 2 eggs for breakfast almost every morning: omelets, frittatas, poached on toast, scrambled, baked eggs in creamed spinach, deviled eggs, fried eggs, etc. Also, egg salad sandwiches, homemade mayo, and…

I have a couple cookbooks by the author of this website and I've also used recipes from her site. You might find something that sounds good to you here: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/15-healthy-instant-pot-and-slow-cooker-recipes/

Boneless center cut pork loin chops from Trader Joe's package says 190 calories for 4 oz raw weight. I don't know if that helps or makes it more confusing.

I do mine at 375 for about 20ish minutes. If your salmon is really small maybe check it at 10-15 minutes. The internet says 425 degrees and 10 minutes for every inch of thickness.

I'm a big fan of trying different things to see what works best for you. I don't like meat very much and struggle to eat enough protein (although I've learned I feel much better with more protein) so I haven't looked into the carnivore diet. I have read quite a few accounts from people who love it. My advice would be to…

My next door neighbor is doing the same plan. She's lost about half her body weight and is unrecognizable. She loves it, but it doesn't appeal to me.
