I count the calories and everything before I eat .. then I feel full .. but I continue to eat so I don’t mess up with my calorie counting ..
sometimes I feel I have to do breakfast and lunch just because I used to ..
** Note: I am currently overweight and in a diet , and I am so happy in my body now and I feel good all the time despite dieting .. am just unsure if this is healthy or not.
I want to celebrate one year clean from SHing but w something small, I can't find any recipes that don't require stevia or 0 cal sweetener 💔
I had a craving for pizza and this hit the spot. I ate it folded up like a quesadilla because I'm impatient but it was substantial enough I could have cut it into slices. It felt quite naughty with all the cheese but the macros are pretty good
Recipe
1 egg, beaten
50g ham
40g pineapple
2 sheets rice paper
1 tbsp pizza sauce
20g mozzarella
put first sheet of rice paper in a hot frypan. Flick a bit of water over it and after 15 seconds add the second sheet.
Add egg and spread over the rice paper evenly. Cover the frypan for a minute to let the egg cook.
Add pizza sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice. Cover and cook for a few more minutes.
Voila!
Day 3 of eating around 1200 and the last two nights I’ve been tossing and turning because my stomach feels so empty/uncomfortable while trying to sleep. Has anyone else experienced this in the beginning? Did it go away or did you need to adjust your meals/macros?
this was so good and SO filling! amazing macros too :3 i seasoned the tuna mixture with garlic salt + dried dill, the smashed avocado is lined in the pocket before the salad is added :)
Randomly picked these Better Sour gummy stars to try today. Very tasty natural sour gummy candy, no artificial sugar taste, 15g of fiber and only 70 calories for the whole package! Great option for people looking to satisfy a craving plus the fiber may help you stay full for longer. Have never posted here before but thought these deserve to be on people’s radar for a low cal treat.

I had a lot of protein yesterday with turkey, eggs, and fish, so today is a little lighter! I also take Inositol and Fybogel (Ispaghula Husk) daily with my food.
I will be doing patrols on my shift, I do around 8k - 10k steps before I lock the site down, so will burn off the excess above 1200.
I have PMOS (very insulin resistant) and digestive issues so I’m gluten free and dairy free mostly. I have to avoid many veggies, fruits, and beans. I’m also allergic to peanuts! Hitting macros is tough without many of these things - but we try!
Ever since i started increasing my protein and centering all my meals around protein, ive had increased nausea from eating and loss of appetite. i dont enjoy anything i eat and i have to force myself to eat. this might sound ideal for restriction and weight loss but with that comes fatigue, loss of energy, tiredness, etc. I dont know what to do, has anyone else had this problem? Will my body adjust over time and itll be easier to eat?
For context, i used to eat high carb foods that were objectively good with lots of flavor. now its greek yogurt bowls, seasoned eggs and meats, which are foods i normally dont really care for.
tuna made it smell like 🐱 has 1 egg, 50gr tuna, 2tbs veggy rice and lettuce
and chia
it was bad 2/10
What is the best free calorie tracker app?
Hi all! First time poster so sorry if format is incorrect. I've been trying to lose weight and always trying to find sweet snacks and dessert-y type things that are healthier. I usually ate pastries for breakfast, and I've been working on making this recipe great and <150kcal, so I hope y'all enjoy! Let me know if you try it!
Ingredients:
- ~192g apple (100kcal) (about 2 small apples)
- 5g fresh lemon juice (1kcal) (if anyone has good 0kcal lemon juice please let me know!!! I am a huge lemon fan in everything I eat/drink)
- 3g ground cinnamon or to taste (7kcal) (I like mine very cinnamon-y)
- 5g cornstarch (19kcal) (can add less or more depending on how thick you'd like it!)
- 6g oats (23kcal)
- Sugar substitute to taste (I recommend a liquid sugar substitute for this since you won't get any graininess! I use RxSugar and it's perfect for this and a great lazy simple syrup stand in for beverages)
It's as easy as cutting up your apples to your desired size (note that larger chunks will take longer to soften and smaller chunks could get mushy. I like mine to be about 1.5cm long or so) and then combining all of the ingredients in a microwave-safe container (I usually use a mug). Give it a good mix, and depending on how juicy your apples are, add about 1-2 tablespoons of water. Microwave it on high for 2 minutes, take it out, stir it. If you're satisfied with the softness you can just take it out, give it another good mix, let it cool, and then eat away! If you're wanting it softer, continuing microwaving at 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval.
This, for me, is the perfect sweet treat, and the macros aren't bad! I also find that, beyond satiating me, it really fills me up!

Raw shishito peppers and thin sliced mini cucumbers, bang bang seasoning mixed with braising soy sauce, pickled red onions, sweet gherkin pickles, and a zero sugar pepsi
Im sitting here looking at the venue menu for my friends birthday tonight and honestly just getting so annoyed. why does every single social event have to be centered around drinking an entire meals worth of calories?
some of the craft beers they always order are literally 300+ calories a pint. doing the mental math to squeeze even one of those into a 1200 limit means I'd basically have to eat lettuce for dinner, which is just sad. and dont even get me started on the mocktails at these places, its usually just pure fruit syrup and somehow worse for my budget
lately to avoid the whole annoying "why aren't you drinking" interrogation I just get a tennents zero because its only 46 cals and I can actually fit it in without ruining my whole day
but idk, it just gets exhausting feeling like you cant just turn up to a normal hangout without obsessively pre-planning everything on your tracking app first. just needed to vent to people who actually get how tight 1200 is when you leave the house.
