Because it's regular plain quick oats mixed with hot water.

I really like puff pastry. I ate a croissant yesterday and it added some energy to my diet without filling me up too much. You can also roll sausages in puff pastry, turn it into burek or bake it as it is with some marmalade. Last week, I had an Indian bread called paratha which I thought was similar to puff pastry. Puff…

Vegetarian beet stew. The original recipe did not contain potatoes but I tried adding some this time (bad idea, mushy texture). The protein source was TVP made from peas. The ingredients were sunflower oil, onion, carrots, beets, pickles, potatoes, textured vegetable protein, allspice, lovage (the original recipe calls for…

It was one of those body composition measurement devices (InBody). I'm aware that they're not super accurate but it's probably closer to reality than not (I was a bit heavier back then).

Hi, AnnPT. :) No, the hunger went away as I started eating more on a regular basis. I was trying to eat around 2200kcal when I started to feel hungry. I had recently upped my calories because I was feeling run down and not getting stronger. It's as if eating more stimulated my appetite(?). It always makes me happy when I…

Update: I lost 0,1kg in a month while eating an average of 2492kcal a day. All my body measurements have stayed the same except my shoulders which have grown 4cm in circumference. I can now do 5 pull-ups in a row (up from 3). What's my TDEE based on this?

Yes, my doctor knows. I told her how many hours I was working, how much I was exercising and eating. She seemed to think it was a normal amount of food. But she's a general practitioner (not a sports nutritionist). That's why I turned to MFP where there are other fitness enthusiasts.

Seven years is a long time to have tracked calories. I hope I can stick to it for at least a year. :) Anyways, thank you for taking your time to reply. I'm going to take my measurements and see where I'm at after a month. For now I'll just honor my hunger. I think it's better for me than accidentally underfueling and not…

I follow a high-protein lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. The snack I gave as an example was rather atypical (so maybe not the best). I wanted to highlight the fact that I'm genuinely hungry (instead of eating my emotions). I do get enough protein (over 120g a day) but I often consume huge amounts of fiber with the protein…

Thank you for replying. It helps me a lot to have someone with similar stats to compare myself to. 2400 kcal is what I've been averaging during the past three weeks. There was a day when I ate 4000 kcal and several ones where I ate over 3000 kcal. My hunger has been bothering me so much that I had a nightmare about being…

I also hate lunges but I discovered today that they are much easier to do with the Smith machine. 😇

Yes. I work in a kitchen and we're sometimes understaffed, so I work overtime quite often and I'm constantly running and thinking about what needs to be done. The past two weeks have been hellish. I don't want to go into detail but I'm starting to believe that Murphy's law is real. I certainly cannot meal plan, meal prep,…
