This is a kind, thoughtful well-written post. One that is worthy of a "thank you" from the original poster.

Yesterday I made a chicken casserole because I'm wanting some warm comfort food in the cold - super fast, cheap, filling, good on macros. Exactly what I was craving. It is a little high on sodium but I just drink more water. 1 lb BS chicken breast, boiled & shredded 1 can mixed vegetables (add whatever else to extend…

I am currently eating 3 oz chicken breast chunks out of a sandwich bag.

That makes sense, haha. I figured she was having one a month, of her stomach or esophagus or something else in her digestive system. That may alter my answers a little. She might not be able to chew well, so technically anything can be soft if puréed.

Chicken salad, tuna salad, ham salad (cook meat & chop finely), beans, thoroughly cooked vegetables. Ground beef with a gravy. Pudding. Macaroni & cheese. Technically anything is soft if you chew it enough.

I just made some this past week - 6 Leg/thigh quarters, 2 onions quartered, 4 celery ribs, 4-5 carrots, bay leaves, poultry seasoning, salt & pepper. Covered with water then simmered about 4-5 hours. Strained, pulled all meat and put in freezer for soups or casseroles. Gave the bones & scraps & vegetables to my chickens to…

I love sweet potato, just finished 85 grams of it with my lunch. Full of nutrients. If you like them work them into your eating plan & enjoy!
-
Haha, what a fantastical cup that must be. I saw the sugar-free peppermint mocha creamer has made it back to the shelves for the holidays, I'll be buying that as soon as I'm finished with the pumpkin spice crap I have now. OP, it varies. Just depends what I'm in the mood for - half & half, sugar-free creamers, stevia or…

Goat milk

Oh I totally agree.....but cheese isn't paleo. Sorry, can't have both! haha

mmmmm, grits

Oh, I need to clarify that I lift at home, haha, I wouldn't dare go without shoes (socks in the least) if I went to the gym again! Regarding your form, don't hesitate to watch yourself in the mirror at the gym if you're around them. I also like YouTube videos and bodybuilding sites for proper form techniques as well.
-
Are you putting your weight on your heels as opposed to your toes? The running shoes, depending on the soles, may be pushing you forward onto your toes instead of providing a flat surface. Sometimes, if I forget to change out of my running shoes into my lifting shoes and don't feel like going back upstairs I'll just kick…

Nutrition Labels on food packaging has the calories/pro/fat/carbs listed by their serving size - by weighing with a food scale and measuring with measuring cups and spoons you will be able to accurately count the serving. Eta: if the grams are listed I always use that, even if cup or spoon measurement is given as well. If…

I eat both - it just depends on which one calorically/macronutiently fits better in my day.
-
Meat (mostly beef) Cheese in some form multiple times a day A ton of veggies

I couldn't care less what someone thinks about what I eat for breakfast, lol - or any other time for that matter. I eat what I want and many times its leftovers from the night before -steak, chicken, fajitas, casserole, gumbo, whatever.
-
I would think the calorie burn standing vs sitting would be minuscule, but it would be there none the less. You say housebound for medical reasons, are there any physical limitations to that? If not the net is full of workouts you can do at home: intructions for bodyweight exercises, YouTube vids for various programs, etc.…

Chicken & sausage gumbo
-
Kens Light Northern Italian has 45 cals for 2 Tbsp. I've actually gotten to where 1 Tbsp is enough for me, especially with the thinner dressings and using strong flavors in the salad itself (well seasoned meat, onion, fresh herbs, a good feta).
-
Your Walmart doesn't have chicken breast, chicken thighs, steaks, ground beef, roasts, turkey breast or tenderloin roasts? No produce section, canned vegetables, frozen vegetables? What about dried beans? I'm assuming this a SuperWalmart and not a regular Walmart. I guess my questions would be what do you consider healthy…

You can't spot reduce - your body just loses fat where it loses fat from. There are facial exercises galore in the Internet but I wouldn't think they're effective. Some people just genetically have rounder fuller faces. Are you eating at a deficit for overall fat loss?
-
Sometimes - there are plenty of choices there that can easily fit in whatever your numbers are. Egg Mcmuffins are a common post-workout breakfast for me when Im rushing around. There was a favorite fast food thread around not too long ago, people posting their suggestions and cal counts. I was pleasantly surprised by some…

Extremely miserable. I drink for pre-workout purposes as well as I just love it. The house is quiet and no one else is up, I do my morning alone thing with coffee & then get on with the day.
-
Oh wow, yes! This never occurred to me, very true for me too now that I think about it! My biggest weakness is cheesy chips - Cheetos, Doritos, sour cream & cheddar Ruffles especially.
-
One of the things that helps me the most is batch cooking and I eat on those for multiple meals. Might not seem great for variety, but the items change up every few days so it's really not bad. It *is* great for convenience though! Right now I'm eating off of a London broil, a chicken salad (with curried mayo, celery &…

Turkey & Swiss w/strawberry preserves on English muffin Greek yogurt with pineapple & almonds ground beef with onions, Heinz 57 & cheese on a pita Leftovers from the night before Really just whatever.

I also have no problem hitting my protein goals - my meals generally revolve around a 3-4 oz protein portion which is approximately 20-25g pro right there (not even including additional protein from what else is in my meal). 3 meals a day with a snack or 2, my day is done. If necessary and to make things easier for you…
