Daily go-to meals, miso-shiru, white rice and cottage cheese

I'm male, forty and 182 cm. Trying to keep my weight at around ~70kg now. Aiming for ~1800kcal/day. I usually end up below in weekdays, go above a bit in the weekends.

I have a fixed routine for breakfast and lunch because I’m not a huge eater and don’t want to think about it: home-made shiro-miso miso soup with white rice (~270), and cottage cheese with cranberries and cashews (~280). Both are very filling and keep me going until dinner.

Both together are so light that I can eat a bit of anything in the evening. Like this Japanese curry (~730). I find the Japanese based cuisine fits my taste a lot better. There's much more flavour without having to go to fat cream-based sauces of Swedish cuisine and the rice keeps me way longer than potatoes do.

How many calories are yall consuming in your coffee/latte everyday?

I’ve been making at home iced lattes since getting a nespresso and I really like making homemade syrups.

Recently I’ve been obsessed with a salted brown butter iced latte where I do 25g syrup and 150g whole milk.

I made a comment on someone’s TikTok of sharing recipes and someone said that 25g of syrup is crazy… it’s not even a full ounce?? My coffee comes to 150 calories total. Is that crazy? 😅

Anybody here lose weight with minimal exercise?

Hello, question see title. I currently have a pretty intense exercise routine (5-6 workouts per week plus 10k walking daily), all to be able to eat 1400 and still lose. I'm 5'1 and only a few pounds away from my goal weight so losing is hard. I feel like my routine is not sustainable long term as it zaps my energy. I can see myself doing 2-3 workouts max in the long run.

If I reduce my calories to 1200, will I be able to lose despite exercising less? I'm asking for your experiences as I find tdee calculators to be kinda generous and not really accurate (or please suggest an accurate one).

Eta: Ok, you have convinced me that trying to get down to 100 lbs is indeed foolish and possibly unhealthy. I will have to learn to love my body the way it is. Thank you all for putting my perfectionism into perspective, I don't need to torture myself over chasing some overly high standards. Love y'all

Meh tasting 33 calorie pancake bowl

Yes, it looks disgusting. It’s not terrible, or even bad tasting, but it is very odd and because of that I couldn’t finish it. I’m going to try again next time with fruit and another type of flour to blend with the bamboo fiber. Let me know if y’all have suggestions.

However, because someone out there might as desperate as I am, I’ll share this recipe.

24g bamboo fiber (about ¼ cup I think?)
Allulose to taste
Stevia drops to taste
¼ cup yogurt of choice (I used so delicious coconut yogurt unsweetened)
30 ml milk of choice (I used VitaCoco coconut milk unsweetened)
Baking soda
Vanilla extract

Microwave until you can stick a fork in it and its pancake texture. It takes a while so keep checking on it. Obligatory: top with sugar free maple syrup. It covers the odd taste a bit.

What’s the best tasting protein powder?

I’m a big fan of eating protein pudding (basically protein and water) and whey drips. I’ve been eating PE Science select in the flavor cake pop and sugar cookie. Looking for more brands/flavors to buy so I don’t waste money.
