Thought I’d share another one of our recent meals. So thankful my partner is open to always trying the new healthy recipes I find online.

The mushrooms are delicious and help add volume. 2 eggs, 1/2 cup egg whites, 4 oz thin cut sirloin, 1/2 cup mushrooms, 1/3 cup reduced fat Mexican cheese

Not tracked: spray oil for air frying (around 5 sprays total) and 1tsp of gochujang.

Literally just grate/chop and mix ingredients, season with garlic, gochujang, soy, whatever you have in, wet rice paper, fill fold and air fry for 10-15 mins.

14g carbs, 39g protein, 23g fat (Sauces added calories ofc, can leave off I usually do not count because of the excessive cardio I do.)

258 cals, 33g protein! Crepes galore!

Hey all!

26F, 6ft, 170lbs

I've lost 36lbs so far since January but I'm now stuck 5lbs away from my goal.

Thing is, I know it's my fault, I eat too much chocolate and struggle to cut down on take out. On "good" days I eat between 1500 and 1700, and "bad" days 2000-2200, I've calculated that around 2100 is my maintenance.

I want to start exercising as I feel like that's the key to continue losing weight without losing my will to live, and have been considering pilates.

Does anyone have any advice? I've been stuck here for about a month and a half and am becoming increasingly frustrated lol

I feel like exercising is the obvious solution but I might just need some strangers on the Internet to confirm it for me haha

Thanks in advance😊

I’ve been seeing this recipe where you boil carrots, onions, and celery in chicken broth, once soft, remove the veggies to blend it, then add it back into the broth.

Original recipe then adds pasta, but I decided to sauté some ginger and shrimp, add that and udon noodles into the mixture. Serve it with a squish of lemon and chili crisps. Probably full of fiber and a great way to get rid of the celery you only used for that one recipe.

Hey guys. I love this sub. I've been following a 1500 cal diet for about 1 month now, and actually loving it! But the past couple days my hunger for food has shot to 0. Some days I have to force myself to eat, as I do not want to eat under 1000 calories.

One or two days of irregular hunger would be fine, but I don't want this to become a trend. How can I increase my hunger? Will my hunger go back to normal? I used to struggle a bit with restrictive tenancies and do not want to fall back into that, but I'm just not very hungry it seems.

Things that I've done that could potentially be helping me feel full: High protein, I drink lots of coffee, high volume eating. I also try to eat well balanced meals and do not restrict as long as I can fit it into my cals for the day.

The only thing that I can think of is that the past few days for breakfast I've had a high protein, high volume meal that is in general lower cal w/ coffee. But in general, I try to do this every morning. Despite nothing changing however, this breakfast could keep me full for the whole day if I didn't force myself to eat later on. I'm not on any meds or under high stress.

Thoughts on how to help with this? Thanks :)

hi everyone, i am stuck between these two protein shakes currently— i am in a cut currently and lift weights 5-6 days a week and am counting my calories. i basically can’t decide if i should just go ahead and get the best bang for my buck regarding protein content or go for the “cleaner” ingredient option. looking for input, as i’m not particularly clean ingredient only— but know that protein products can be quite additive ingredient heavy…i go back and forth on caring or not, lol! thank you in advance!

This isn’t dinner and the

I feel like the low carb tortillas (Mission and similar) tend to run a bit on the gummy side. I like using them for pinwheel wraps and am wondering if anyone’s got some techniques to improve the texture at all.

Hi! I’m not sure where else to go for this one as it’s pretty niche.
We went through a phase where we were drinking CTRL meal replacement shakes a lot, so we stocked up and now have a few bags laying around. We haven’t been drinking them for a while now and I want to find ways to use them up before they go bad. So far I’ve only tried it in pancakes, in place of protein powder. Those turned out pretty good, but there’s only so much pancakes I can make lol

Any other suggestions/ideas/tried recipes would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance y’all!

I wanted to use up some things in the pantry/fridge 😁

I am a 49yo Female, 5'6" -starting weight 184, current weight 173, goal weight 160.

I started tracking my food in MFP at the beginning of August and it took me a couple weeks to figure out what snacks/foods I need to start cutting out. I learned about protein, working out, macros etc through Facebook groups.

I have my calories set at 1500 and I lift weights 3 days a week (burn 300 cal each session at my gym) and walk, hike or ride my bike 7 days a week. I aim at burning around 300-500 cal/day. I do not eat back all of those calories. I try to leave at least half of my exercise calories, so I generally finish my day with a net of 1200-1300 calories eaten (after exercise calories are counted) if that makes sense!

I weigh my self in the morning after using the bathroom and without clothing so it's the same scenario every day. For August and September I lost 4.4 and 4.2 lbs but October isn't going as well even though I've not changed much in my exercise and diet. I've only lost 1.3 lbs in 11 days.

I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that I am doing the right things and just need to be patient. I work out more than I've ever done. I do love to walk and hike and bike but the weights are new. I am sore and need a day off in between, sometimes two days. I am definitely perimenopausal too!

Almond milk, homemade PB, chia seeds, cinnamon powder and frozen fruit, left in the fridge overnight. Not the lowest of cals but a great source of healthy fats, protein, fibre etc and keeps me very full (I’m a breakfast gal so that tends to be my most calorie dense meal)

Hello, I am going to my boyfriend’s celebration dinner tonight that his family is throwing. We are going to Salsa And Beer, a chain of Mexican restaurants in the Los Angeles/ San Fernando area in California.

The issue is I’ve been calorie counting for a a bit now and managed to lose 12 pounds( woot woot) but I have no idea how to calorie count anything there.

The menus don’t have any nutritional section and even if I don’t know the calories I want to stay in the healthier side.

Any input would be helpful, I know it’s not a healthy place to eat but the healthiest I can get so I don’t feel like I’m pigging out and ruining my calorie count. Before I was dieting I would always get the steak picado burrito but they feels so out of my calorie budget.

I’m trying to stay within 1500 cal/day and find a meal plan that works for me.

Hungerwise, is it better to eat 3 x 500 cal meals/day with no snacks?

Or 3 smaller meals (~300 cal) with small snacks in between meals?

How do you break up your calories daily?

Not pictured: miso soup with a jammy egg

Fish sauce on the catfish. 50c, 26p, 17f

i eat this almost every day and i’m in love with it, however someone at work was saying it’s unbalanced. what do we think?

Hey all!

So right now I am eating about 1200 calories a day for weight loss. In the beginning it worked great, especially because I was super sedentary, but now I'm finding that I am really, really hungry all the time ever since I started working out. (Like 30 min 3x a week, nothing too wild).

I was wondering- would it be OK to increase to 1500 calories a week, even though I'm still pretty sedentary? Ngl I'm worried about gaining the weight back (I finally got to 250 and I don't want to backtrack!) and my dietician appt is 3 weeks away so I wanted to see what experiences you guys had.

Thank you!

There are some fruit flavored varieties too.
