I always do this for ny own recipes - screen shot the added nutrition info when having put all the ingredients ( make sure only the smoothie ingredients are put in for that day and nothing else !! ) then 'create food' - eg call it 'my yummy strawberry smoothie' then enter the nutrition as you have screen shot and voila !…

Had one this morning - an empty peanut butter jar and layered - 160g mashed sweet potatoes (leftover from last night dinner making ) 60g peanut butter 25g raspberry jam ( fancied a pb&j !! ) 150g strawberry arla protein quark yoghurt ( or just any quark or healthy yoghurt ) 15g Oats and 50ml milk 2 Cashew Nuts All in all…

To get a creamy texture you'll have to either buy an ice cream maker or be at home all dah to manually churn the ice cream every couple of hours ..! :/ alternatively you can freeze skim milk, greek yoghurt and flavouring ( such as vanilla or caramel essence or a banana or cocoa powder or berries or peanut butter ) and then…

If you 'maintain' on 1300 then you are either not logging correctly ( digital weighing scales ? Every oil, butter, drink, candy ??) or you have been eating way too low calories for a while so your metabolism is slowed. Your body gets used to a certain calorie intake and adjusts your metabolism to that - recovering from…

Greek Yoghurt ! If you're a chocoholic like me add some unsweetened cocoa powder - chococlate dessert. Or add unsweetened Cocoa powder ( and some vanilla extract if you like ) to a pot of quark - high protein, healthy, low in sugar , filling ! Make some flapjacks for when the craving strikes made with oats, vanilla…

I actually eat my largest meal at breakfast so it tends to be between 900 - 1200 calories ! ( if others would have these breakfast I think they would half or even less the recipe.. but I am a hungry gal.. :( ! ). Though I usually have sweet breakfasts and do not like eggs so you may not like my breakfasts but some…

I am around the same weight and eating around the same amount of calories with a very damaged digestive system after a severe eating disorder so I understand your pain. Like others have said - peanut butter and spreads are your friends ! ( around 600-700 calories comes from peanut butter alone each day for me ). I also eat…

To add to the food / diet side there are many gluten free dishes to help that taste great ! :) if you google them you'll mostly get recipes with hard to find and expensive ingredients etc but it can be so easy to substitute for gluten free ingredients that are cheap ! But gluten free oats and either have oatmeal made with…

Oh I am sorry I am European so I would not know American or Canadian brands ..! Though over here each supermarket has their own brand one which taste the same and we do not have flavoured ones like the US! Ours is just plain thich creamy fat free soft cheese with only ingredient is milk :( Sorry I cannot help with knowing…

I used to use it a lot ! Stirred into greek yoghurt or quark. As a dip for fruit. To make a peanut sauce for sweet potatoes or in stir fry. Use in oat bars for added protein and a peanut flavour to make protein oat bars . Use a little less water and add unsweetened cocoa powder and a tsp of vanilla extract - place in…

Not the same but being severly underweight with anorexia nervosa for years has seriously damaged by organs and I find it a celebratory day if I have a day where I am not sick or in pain by eating , also having an endoscopy to check at the end of the month to see if it is an ibd or something similar . What has helped me in…

being a gap year student due to illness where i can only work part time now due to said illness and no student finance and recovering from an eating disorder where i need an incredible amount of food also - my advice? be prepared to save money in other aspects of life if you really want your 'cleaner' foods.. but it…

I also hate yogurt but i love greek yogurt if you havent tried it ! The texture is entirely different - much thicker and creamier - I hate the texture of yogurt too. Add in some gluten free cereal or oats or granola or biscuits, some fruits, cocoa powder if you like chocolate pudding type foods, some nut butter and seeds…

As already mentioned, healthy high calorie shakes / smoothied are easy to make and even easier to consume since you're just drinking it . Try a shake made with banana or berries ( won't put measurments as you can tailor this to both your calorie needs and your taste), a green such as spinach, kale or cucumber, a nut butter…

So many inspiring achievements have been made in a year for many here..!! :smiley: I am a little opposite to most.. but this time last year I was very unwell and stuck in bed with a dangerously low BMI of 12. Today I am standing with a chocolate in one hand and a nutrition shake in the other at a BMI of 17. It's not so…

I'm glad you want to gain and know why it is important. That is a very important step so big congrats to you! :) I fought very hard not to go inpatient.. to the point I had a weight gain deadline by Christmas eve and had to show how determined I was. Therefore even though I was at a BMI of 12.. I was still outpatient. But…

Thank you to everyone who's replied ! :) As for the food that isn't clean.. I have a huge paranoia that I will suddenly develop a taste for it and binge or not being able to stop and getting fat.. though I know this is stupid as I am at an anorexic weight so it would take a lot of it and a lot of time for this to happen…

I am currently in anorexia recovery too. No you shouldn't listen too much on the internet.. but remember this calorie intake is a 'normal' amount for a 'normal' person to 'maintain' their weight which is already healthy and hasn't been in starvation. Until I reached BMI 17 I was on 2500 - 3000 calories a day.. and was only…

Have you tried oatmeal? I know it sounds simple but a bowl of oatmeal made with water is very filling, low cal and you can top it with whatever you like. I make sweet and savoury oatmeal, where if sweet I add things like banana (also filling), chia seeds (high fiber and a dose of healthy fats), prunes, figs, raisins etc.…

So many variations!! I use it in place of butter for jacket potatoes or melt a couple with some boiled water to make a cheese sauce for meals like zucchini pasta and add some chicken, tomatoes and spices! tastes exactly like high fat cheese sauces :O

basically what that comment says haha! I'm the same as you, I do one cooked meal in the evening. Breakfast is usually greek yoghurt with some cereal, chia seeds, frozen fruit (berries, bananas etc), some prunes, figs and sometimes unsweetened cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, cinnamon or pb2 sprinkled on top :) this has…

I also use laughing cow, cottage cheese, avocado and greek yoghurt..! though greek yoghurt tends to be the most mayo-like and I spice it up with smoked paprika and cayenne pepper! I've never tried using hummus though it sounds lovely!!

This sounds sooo good! I never know what to do with salmon.. or fish for that matter.. and tend to stay with a greek yoghurt sauce variation.. but this sounds so delicious!!

Thank you for the recipes btw! The black bean brownies I tried was the recipe by chocolatecoveredkatie but have yet to try the other one.. I will try the other one with stevia :D thank you!

If anyone would be interested I've made adaptions of this recipe to replicate other cake / baked goods! All of which have similar nutritional information. Peanut Butter Cup: Replace Cocoa Powder with same amount of PB2 or other peanut flour. Add in 5g to 10g of peanut butter. and the rest of the recipe is the same, though…

I like a layer of avocado, about 120g of cottage cheese, tuna, tomatos and spices on top! :) very filling, full of protein and a good dose of healthy fats :)

@ponycyndi So sorry! I forgot to indicate the pan size!! I usually spread it so it covers half of an 8''x8'', so to fill a 8''x8'' i'd double the recipe, though for me this would just make too much as I make them only for myself! Sorry about that! :( I have also made them as single serve mini brownies using a muffin tray…

Thank you to everyone who replied!! I have now been trying to incorporate foods that were out of my 'safe food' zone (that was incredibly orthorexic..:/). To this challenge I went on a week long holiday where it was 'eat whatever you can find at the time or starve..' . And was shocked that I would definately rather eat…

I use a little bit of honey or agave with a bit of nut butter or some dates that have been soaked in some hot water and pureed / mashed. :)
