Maybe about 1600 for whole day? I don't like to stuff myself...

Christmas Eve was the main day for my family. We had steak. I made tofu cheesecake with mango berry topping for dessert. :)

Rice + raw egg + soy sauce + eaten with nori sheets = yum!! Broccoli pan steamed in a bit of chicken broth.

Japanese style tofu rare cheesecake! http://bossacafez.blogspot.com/2012/10/tofu-rare-cheesecake.html?m=1

Spend 80% of your shopping money on the outer rims of the grocery store (veggies, fruit, meat, dairy) and 20% in the inner aisles (your beloved junk). Have fun!!

Would make a good umbrella for me. <3

This is what I usually eat for snacks: Apples, bananas, berry smoothies (banana, ripe papaya, frozen blueberries/raspberries/blackberries/strawberries and/or cherries with half soy milk and half water; can replace papaya with avocado), pears, clementine or mandarins, peanuts, almonds, occasionally for a sweet treat--a…

It sure looks like it!! Drool

Vanilla chai tea, banana, and potato, bell pepper, mushroom turmeric egg casserole. Yum.

Old me: Chocolate candies, pastries, cakes, sweets, bread, overeating/overconsumption New me: Fruit, herbs and lettuce, various legumes, spices (for cooking), meat, eggs, cheese, lots of vegetables, eating just enough To be honest, after changing my diet, I can't go a day without eating a fruit and lettuce salad or…

I make refried beans in mine. Well it's technically not refried but sure tastes like it and plus, you don't need to soak the beans, just let it soak and cook with sliced jalapeños, onions, chili powder, some cumin, garlic, onion powder, and chicken stock on low heat overnight. Then the next day, mash the beans with a bit…

:| Please don't turn a foodie thread into something bitter. The "sad plate" comment was uncalled for but apologies and explanations were made so no need to drag it on, please. Food is awesome in all forms! It keeps our tummy full and us alive so we should cherish it. Let's not argue over dinner, yeah?

Laying down in bed does not automatically mean sleep. :p It is quieting the body and mind a good hour or two before sleeping, establishing a new routine that can help get rid of his old habit of snacking after 9:00 pm. Just a suggestion. I mean, this works for me. I get ready for bed and then lay down/read a book/do…

Brush your teeth at 8:30 pm, lay down in bed, eat a mint, put on music, drink 1 glass of water, relax and do a quiet activity before you sleep. :#

I don't fit in this thread. I've tried just about everything in my life so far. :# Taste wise, raw celery is worst. Texture wise, live tiny fishes was horrible. Psychologically worst was those poor live fishes, frog skin and silkworm cocoons. Well I guess a few I've never tried before from other cultures are…

Fresh fruits, carrots, celery, hummus, peanut butter and yogurt in the fridge. If your office has a toaster, leaving bread in the fridge or freezer is okay too and they'll last longer. Just toast them and they'll taste fresh! Nuts and dried fruit in your desk drawer. Consider snacking only if you're hungry rather than out…

Have to add... Cucumber celery juice. SMH.

This is awesome. The Asian pyramid was how my parents ate before moving to the USA. Now, they eat a lot more meat, bread, snacks like chips, breakfasts with sugary cereals and they also cook in a lot more in oils too. Result? My dad has high blood pressure and my mom got high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes. My mom…

Vietnamese spicy sour veggie and fish soup. Large salad with grapes and tomatoes and avocado. Acai berry green tea.

Peanut butter and sriracha sauce with a slice of cheese was the best combination I've ever put in cup noodles.

Your family isn't the only one though so you're no exception. I have friends who eat purely rice, meat, and candy. Unfortunately, I can already foretell their future however, it's great that you're thinking about yourself more now and trying to become a healthier person in the long run!

Never be born if you're worried about dying.

This thread might not end well.

Copious amounts of fruits when I'm not home; fruit smoothies when I am home. I try not to snack though; only when I'm hungry between meals.

I drink berry smoothies every single day; always curbs my sugar cravings. It's so effective that I don't even crave anything anymore. For a small 8 oz glass, blend half of a very ripe banana with a cup of frozen berries (I like trader Joe's very cherry berry blend in the frozen aisle) with a 3/4 cup or so of almond milk.…

You will die eventually but to slow that process and prevent potential risks for chronic diseases, you need lots of good vitamins and mineral. If you're not getting enough of that through fruits/vegetables, try eating liver instead! :# Otherwise, you can hide vegetables in your cooking, slather on butter to increase the…

Looks good! I'll try it. :)

My simple go to are always steamed or raw veggies with broiled meats or fish seasoned with salt/pepper/olive oil or butter. If you have a rice cooker, great. Make some brown rice with your meal. Takes like max 30 minutes. Is not that hard to cook... But honestly, if you really hate to cook and prefer take out, just order…

3 colors beans chicken rice. Well of course I didn't eat it all. Made it for my Chem class! :)
