Make it part of a dip. It's a great substitute for cream. Like spinach and onion dip. Dip in veggies. So much protein

Chocolate custard! Nom nom

Thank you for this source! I eat many of the things on the list. Is it possible mfp just doesn't have iron measurements on foods listed?

Baking is very much a science. I think if you alter the crust recipe it will change it for the negative. Instead of altering your crust recipe, being a Michigan native I understand the pasties love, make your pasties smaller. No one needs a pastie the size of a football. Make your pasties smaller to cut calories. And cook…

Find a cookbook that would fit well with your diabetic diet. And then let him choose recipes for you to make. Im sorry but I have a hard time imagining what he does eat. Very hard to make suggestions . Clearly with all of these restrictions he's placing on you, it seems only fair he put in effort to find foods you both…

Head of cabbage. In one sitting. So much regret

Its not impossible to do this healthfully, but it takes careful planning. Make sure youre getting enough calories, carbs and protein. And if this is a sudden switch, yes that much fiber is going to do interesting thing to your digestion. it should balance out in a few weeks.

Go to your local supermarket. Protein powder is affordable but comes in very large containers. A 2lb tub is quite common. It will costs $18, maybe more, but that includes many many servings, usually at least 30 or more. Just watch the sugars and carbs if you're not trying to bulk. If you are trying to bulk then you'd want…

If he wanted to bring meat over and cook it himself that would be fine. As we maintain two separate residences, and he is in theory living at his own house, I buy groceries just for myself, as he still buys groceries for himself at his house. If he wants food at my house, he eats what I have in my house as any guest would…

Why would I buy meat, if I can't eat it? He's welcome to buy it himself and cook it in his own house.

this is awesome, thank you. I realize now I'm probably not giving enough fat or salt. And more cheese will always be welcome from him.

I tend to make a lot of broth soups, cooked veggies, and whole grain options. Things like mushroom tortellini soups with beans, and fried rice with veggies and eggs. Meals typically consist of one whole grain, veggies, and some form of beans. It's my default lazy cooking style, because that's what i normally eat alone. To…

Yes I like this. My foods I prepare are almost devoid of fats that are not naturally occurring. I will start adding extra fats to his meals. Bringing on the butter!

I like this! Will start adding butter and or vegetable oil to eggs. He'll probably think it tastes better anyways

I have no problem with him eating that huge take away. I just mentally added up the calories and realized I just don't feel capable of cooking THAT high calorie of meals. There is no lifestyle choice problem here, I merely cannot eat meat due to a meat intolerance in my digestive tract. A 500 calorie meal is for myself. I…

Another example, I'm going through nearly two cartons of eggs a week just trying to feed him breakfast, while adding beans, and veggies to his 4 eggs, to bulk up his food.

I wish I knew what triggers this sort of meat rejection. I also have is. Perhaps this is a common trend amongst ibs suffers.

Healthy foods are nutritious and important for you. But without stringent portion control on almost everything but vegetables, weight gain will still happen. But yourself a food scale and start measuring. Youd be surprised what one serving really is.

I suppose I could try one teaspoon at a time. Would be very tempting to just stop at a teaspoon

I'm glad I'm not alone.

Beans are your friends. Open several cans for a bean salad. Or only one and some whole grains or pasta. Or get out your slow cooker and look bean stew! Easy and guilt free. Especially when only cooking for one. Husband might even eat them as a side. Like baked beans on toast next to his giant steak.

I wish the stomach problems came from the lack meat in my diet. Before this I was a real meater. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do.

I eat some small amounts of broths and very small amounts of seafood, sushi so not more than 3oz on occasion abd do okay. But meat is a real no go digestively. I've cut out milk as well, but mainly for financial reasons but I do eat qute a few eggs. Havent been allergy tested by a doctor. But the sudden stop from years of…

Bell peppers, poaches eggs, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, hot sauce, cottage cheese, my grandmothers pies

I make huge bean salads with vegetables and oil or mayo with lits of spices and tend to eat that for days. It's helpful if you use canned beans. Opening 4 cans of beans or vegetables and maybe adding noodles or rice is very easy and a satisfying way to feed uourself for days with minimal effort and lots of nutrition.

I always had a one plate ruleand didn't use trays that way it forced me to stay within what I could carry.

MFP recommends i eat 1650 calories a day with my active job and continued exercise regime of 5 hours of running a week. I call B.S. Actually I think that might even be dangerous to suggest such a thing.

Thanks, forgot about scooby, yeah I'll look up a suggestion there.

MFP suggests I eat only 1650 calories while working 8 hours each days as a manual laborer and of I continued by my normal fitness routine 5 days a week. This cannot be accurate! I eat more than that when I'm not doing all the labor!
