Salmon/cucumber with eggs (330 cal, 35g protein)

This looks like something you’d feed a dog before putting it down but nothing keeps me fuller. Vibe is a sad deconstructed poke bowl.

Cucumber, salmon, 2 hard boiled eggs, salt, pepper, garlic, sriracha mixed in

Turkey & Swiss wrap with an apricot and sugar-free redbull ~297cals for lunch

-Sugar free redbull (10 cals)

-63g of apricot (~30 cals)

-Wrap made with lavash bread (120 cals), 2 slices of ulta thin Swiss cheese (80 cals), 56g of cracked black pepper turkey breast (~50 cals), baby spinach (I don't measure it out, I just always enter it in my app as 1 cup of spinach and they calculate it as (7 cals), and original yellow mustard (0 cals)

The wrap could be made lower cal with a low carb tortilla which is like half the calories (or less) of the lavash bread, but this is what I had (and the lavash bread has more protein)

Konjac Noodles: What's the catch?

Konjac Noodles: What's the catch?

When I first tried konjac/shiritaki noodles, I thought they were absolutely horrific. As a soup noodle lover, the texture and slurpability was just so wrong. But, after many attempts eating them alongside some real noodles, I actually kind of enjoy them on their own. They are so low calorie for how filling they are, so besides the edibility of the stuff, is there is a catch?

I feel like they would be way more popular if it just worked the way I'm understanding it from the nutrition label.

Basically if there isn’t an egg, my brain doesn’t clock it as breakfast.🥚

Balanced breakfast ideas for picky eaters?

i‘m not having the best of luck finding breakfast meals that I i‘d like.. I’ve been eating two chocolate chip waffles and an energy drink everyday for breakfast for the past year. Though it’s delicious, I feel left out by everyone else eating aesthetic breakfast steaks, eggs, and a glass of wine for breakfast. My lunch and dinners are healthy and balanced, but my breakfast option isn’t.

Any ideas?

Here’s some foods that I don’t like if that helps.

Greek yogurt, granola, rice cakes, eggs, pancakes, toast, oatmeal, bananas, berries, bacon, sausage, cereal, peanut butter, oats, nuts, cottage cheese, spinach, beef, bagels, milk, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, green onion, tomatoes, smoothies, tofu, egg whites, salmon, feta cheese.

Breakfast 481 calories. I'm still having the stuff I like.. Just less of it. The eggs broke due to lack of oil lol.

I tried eating super healthy without counting calories

I had eggs, nuts and avocado for breakfast
Smoothie with fruits, kefir and hemp seeds for lunch
Roasted potatoes, chicken and broccoli for dinner
I had one coffee with milk, 1 electrolyte drink, one tea with milk

I woke up and was the exact same weight as yesterday. It was more like an intuitive eating experiment on myself - I calculated it all today and it was around 2400 calories, I guess I went heavy on the olive oil and nuts 🤣 I’m 5’3 on a good day.

Safe to say, I have to count my calories! I can’t wait until I can intuitively eat, but for now it’s back to business!

Made the famous egg-white pizza!

Tried u/AbsentMagpie3174 ‘s pizza recipe! 293 cals for the whole thing (although I realize I didn’t log the cornstarch but it was only 12g and then I used just normal egg whites, not the Kirkland kind so it evens out lol). Here are my thoughts!

- Tastes really good, like a real pizza (tho that’s mainly to do with the sauce and cheese lol)
- The texture of the crust itself is like moist bread. I don’t love it, but for the low cals I’ll take it lol
- Still tastes like egg but I like the taste of egg so I don’t mind it
- I tried making this before in a longer pan and the egg whites completely spread out and shrunk a lotttt so I ended up w more like pizza crepes 😭 this time I made it in a smaller, round pan for cakes and it was much more successful!
- crust around the edges where it’s crispy is the most tasty, I’d maybe cook it a bit longer so that the middle has more of that texture and is less soggy next time as well (cooked it at 400F for 10 min cuz my oven is a little weaker than most)

Overall I really liked it and will def make again! Very satiating, protein-filled, and yummy😋

I’m so fed up how do i get enough protein

I wish their was a rant flair because i’m so fed up 😭
i’ve been managing to stay in the 1200-1300 range for the past few weeks but i don’t if it’s because it’s 101° where i live or what but i an seriously struggling with nausea and feeling light headed.

I feel like it might be because i’m not getting enough protein. my goal is 80g per day but i’m honestly lucky if i hit 30. how do you guys hit your protein goals with food that isn’t bland?

Coffee

Just wanted to make a post here and ask about how people formulate their coffee. Right now the only way I really like my coffee is with Silk vanilla oat creamer, sometimes I'll do a vanilla oat milk with some honey but if I'm in a pinch and out of the creamer. This works fine, but I find the calories add up throughout the day, usually up to 200, depending. I'd like to cut that down, can anyone share what they do? Thanks!
