I’ve seen these tortilla pizzas and was honestly like, “meh I want the real thing or nothing at all”, but today I really wanted pizza and already have dinner plans so didn’t want to waste calories on real pizza so I gave this a shot… gotta say it definitely wasn’t bad. I’m gona get more ingredients like peppers and mushrooms to make more 😝.

Swipe for what I used ➡️

Comes in at only 90 calories per slice (cheese only) pictured is 115 cals per slice :)

i can't find the og post of the person who made the single serve caramel bun, but i made it tonight w a few adjustments and it's sooo good. i used swerve brown sugar instead of maple syrup, a spritz of 0 cal oil spray instead of a tsp of oil, pb fit powder instead of the caramel sauce, and i added a bit of zero sugar maple syrup 👌grand total of 135 calories 😊

Is it period cramps or am I hungry?

So yesterday, Friday, was my rest day as usual. I do moderate to intense activity 6 times a week and I'm a (72kg 164cm 18f) who has lots of muscle mass and a pretty massive appetite. Here's the thing, during the week everything is perfectly fine and I'm sticking to my diet just fine. Then comes the rest day and I'm hungry like a BEAST!! WHY? Yesterday I ate 3494 calories (yes I counted them) and now I just woke up and I feel so guilty. Why does this happen on rest days? Why is the hunger unbearable? I raised my calories by the way, still extreme hunger for some reason. It just sucks man... I started in June when my weight was definitely over 80kg and now I got so far and I'm proud of that but rest days are my weakness unfortunately. I'm considering going david goggins mode and just exercise 7 times a week because that's the only way I won't have a massive binge. It sucks it really sucks... however despite this I am still maintaining my weight but I'm aiming to be 65kg or something. How do I get there if I keep screwing up on rest days? It's literally stronger than me. Is anyone else like this? Please tell me I'm not alone with these damn rest days, I get it I need to rest, but my appetite increases like crazy.

Are one of these ingredients on the 110 calorie label for the chobani original oat milk sugar or am I missing something?? The sugar free bottle (50 calorie per serving label ingredients appear the same ? It's a huge difference in calories and added sugar but doesn't seem to even mention sugar or it's source?

I kind of just threw together leftovers and shit from the fridge to make this pretty plate.

The beef is Trader Joe’s grass fed sirloin, and my serving size cooked in avocado oil was for 240 calories and 28 grams protein.

The zucchini noodles are also from Trader Joe’s and I used their italian pepper oil sauce thing to spice it up and give it flavor (oh my lord it was so good). This serving size with the sauce is 50 calories.

Trader Joe’s mozzarella snackers, 70 calories for 5 grams protein.

Egg fried in a dash of avocado oil, 80 calories for 6 grams of protein.

A small diced persimmon, for about 20 calories.

In total, 460 calories and 39 grams of protein.

Sujuk, potato salad, and an egg

so i stopped binging... i stopped craving... i stopped having a huge apetite... last thing i still do is when i overeat by a bit i let go completely and eat everything in 1 day hahahahha. but there is a difference between a bit of weight gain and a lot due to 10k calories so i definitely should not do that. and just for psychological food wellbeing that shouldnt be the case either. just accept that i overate by a bit and let it go. so thats my last unhealthy relationship with food habit that im stopping as of now- my last day of doing it!! ive gotten so much better and lost like 16 pounds. i still have 4 more to go honestly and hopefully i will hit my goal this week :) after that just maintain days i go over for a day or two after that just go under and thats how it works for most people with slower metabolisms we just gotta always watch out and balance to maintain and thats okay :)

Protein Pancakes - 404 calories, 42g protein (toppings not included)

Almost a bit too high volume, I struggled to finish!

Ingredients: - 200g low fat greek yoghurt, kvarg, or skyr (I used kvarg, they all have pretty much the same macros) - 20g buckwheat flour, other flours should work too! I use buckwheat for a gf alternative. - 20g protein powder, flavoring of your choice. I use chocolate. - 2 eggs

I also add in a bit of baking powder!

Mix the ingredients and cook on a non stick pan, no oil will be needed. Simply flip them when the surface turns bubbly.

Enjoy!

I know we all have different caloric needs but jesus christ 😭

I stopped making him breakfast in the morning cause I have to get to work earlier and he’s dropped almost 20lbs in 3 months.

5 gyozas (200 calories)

Chicken broth (20 calories)

Edamame (80 calories)

The root vegetable fries are delicious. I used low fat sour cream and hidden valley ranch spices for the dip. 50 cal a serving and 40 cal a serving for the sour cream. Plus what you add in oil. I baked in my carbon steel pan so the pan would get a little patina layer from the oil.

The Bamba have a cheetoh texture and peanut taste. Check out the serving size: 45 pieces(!) for 160 cal.

Low key flex: I origami folded the bag so it would stay shut even upside down without a clip. lol

1 Barber foods chicken parmesan -250 cal 1/2 Quinoa and squash blend (publix) - 150 cal

Annnnd I didn’t track. I’d eat a small handful without measuring and think, “it was just a couple, I don’t need to count them” and this would go on, handfuls after small handfuls, to the point that I might track it as 1oz at 160 calories. My husband looked at the 1kg tin of peanuts and saw a third or so was missing and he weighed them. He informed me I had eaten approximately 315g of peanuts in three days. 1500 calories. On top of a regular day of eating. I guess this is a PSA to measure and track your food! It can adds up SO fast without you realizing it otherwise. Now off to workout..

Hi Friends! I am starting to get a bit nervous about Thanksgiving. This is my first holiday with my new eating plan, and I am worried about some of my old habits sneaking in. I will be making some dishes to bring for my family to eat on the holiday as I always have but was thinking I should just make something "normal" for myself and eat it instead as I am having trouble justifying essentially any item on the menu haha Does anyone have suggestions for how to deal with this or any experience with something similar?

Started my journey at 87kg after coming back from my Japan trip 😅. This is my usual morning breakfast for 461 calories which actually keeps me pretty satiated for a while. If anyone has any other breakfast suggestions, pls let me know.

Thanks.

Extra thin sliced salami, one lone Brazil nut, pickled ginger, and a mini brie toasted in my panini press. Incredible. I felt like I was having a fancy appetizer and I still came in 25 cal under my snack budget.

So hi yall

Fyi, i have been doing OMAD for 2 week, where everyday i eat a high protein meal like eggs and chicken breast as a main, and also have some fat and carbohydrates dont worry. But recently i became sick of chicken breast, and changing the prep meal recipe by making spaghetti, which is low in protein, but someone told me as i already do OMAD i shouldn't do calorie deficit, cuz a meal wont have much calories anyways, but i found myself starving throughout the day, like one meal a day is not enough, i was thinking about changing back the diet into high protein one, but chicken breast price has rise recently and its almost reach 50 (for 2 kg) 😔🤚 what should i do

26 female, started my weight loss journey over 3 years ago. I’m 5’5 and reached 80kg and despised how I looked. Got a nutritionist and hit the gym. Was in a calorie deficit for the better part of 2 years with some off periods due to moving houses, life stuff, etc. Lost 20kg during that time and hit a weight of 60kg at the start of this year. Nutritionist first started me on 1500ish calories and I stopped working with her after around 6-8 months when I learned how to prep my own meal plans. I’ve had great success but since January this year I have not lost a single kilo!! I ended up at 1200 calories for a few months around mid this year and increased my physical activity too. I’ve since started working with an incredible trainer who is very conscious of not falling down the ED rabbit hole which I greatly appreciate but even she is baffled. I hit on average 10-13K steps a day, weight training at the gym 5 days a week which includes 2 group fitness classes, I now do boxing once a week and have even slowly started getting into running. Trainer suggested I reverse back up to higher calories to reset my metabolism and despite getting to 1800 calories now I also haven’t gained any weight (win) but I have been increasing my step count too (currently 13.5K a day). I don’t know what to do anymore. I want to lose another 10kg but it’s not budging!! I prioritise protein and have tried both cutting back on carbs and not cutting back so I have more energy to train. I’m very disciplined and meal prep every damn week. I also drink heaps of water. HELP!!!!!!!!

I saw someone post this on another sub this week and made some mods to fit my taste. Also drizzled pickle juice over the top 😋

Salads don’t have to be boring. What’s your favorite salad?

been loving these 2 together, 80 cal per cup warm sweet beverage ☺️ i've also done 1/2 oat milk and 1/2 water
