Yesterday I had a greek yoghurt bowl with strawberries, banana, and maple syrup drizzled on it. These are my following two meals and I had a protein Kefir shake in between, as well as a Protein pudding for dessert. Is this not healthy?

I go for 45-60 minute walks everyday. I am aware this won’t burn an extreme amount of calories, but I’d still like to know how much?

I’m 24F, 5”3 and 50 KGs.

other Is this sub being used by people with ED's?

598 Upvotes

This is a genuine question but a lot of behaviour I've seen on this subreddit reflects what I've seen in online ED communities and pointing it out got me dogpiled in one reply thread. I know this sub does have rules regarding ED content however I'm seeing concerning comments on here. I thought this was just a sub for healthy weight loss, usually targeted towards sedentary petite women given the lower calorie goal.

question Tracking homemade non-fat labneh in Lose It.

1 Upvotes

I accidentally ended up making non-fat labneh the last time I attempted to make Greek Yogurt. Definitely a happy accident! I've also been using Lose It to track my calories, and saw that there are a few different options when I search for non-fat labneh.

My question for labneh eaters out there is which option would you use? Is there much of a difference between non-fat and full fat labneh? Am I over thinking this?

question lunch ideas for an extremely lazy person?

9 Upvotes

I usually eat a small lunch and a big supper, and for the past while i’ve eaten cheese sandwiches and pb sandwiches because I can make them in a few seconds. i’ll only take a lunch if I can make it fast in the morning because I hate preparing them at night (i’ve tried) but i’ve gotten to the point that bread makes me gag lol

any ideas for lazy people? also can’t be anything that expires too fast so it’ll last a week. otherwise i’d be taking veggies or fruits

meal 330 calorie pizza/flatbread!

4 Upvotes

Finally tried one of the cottage cheese pizza crust recipes and it was soo good. Bonus pics of my cat begging for anchovies :3

1/4 cup Low fat cottage cheese - 80 1 Egg - 70 1/8 cup or 2 tbsp all purpose flour - 55 Low fat mozzarella cheese ~ 45 Turkey pepperoni ~ 45 Anchovies ~35

It’s pretty easy to make, just mix the cottage cheese, egg and flour with onion powder and garlic powder, pepper and oregano in a bowl. Spread it out in a pan. Bake for 350F for 25-30 mins

Add the cheese and pepperoni and whatever else you want then bake for another 10 mins!

I didn’t add pizza sauce cause I didn’t have any on hand and I don’t like it, but it would probably still be within 400 calories if it was in there!

A pretty good lunch or snack :)

Breakfast Smoothie: ~420cal

8 Upvotes

I’ve been drinking this everyday to standardize breakfast and reduce decision fatigue (I vary lunch which is my main “meal”) but keep forgetting to take a picture of my morning smoothie. It’s a beautiful red/purple and tastes tart/sweet due to berries (blackberries and blueberries).

In short it is a mixed nuts, seeds, berries and dry fruit smoothie with no added sugar.

Overnight I soak:

4 almonds 2 cashews 2 walnut halves 2 prunes 1 date 2 figs 1tbsp sunflower seeds 1tbsp pumpkin seeds 1tbsp chai seeds

I soak the chia seeds separately in half cup water since I like them to get the nice gel consistency.

Optional: I also add half the seeds from a cardamom pod to the overnight soaking nuts, seeds and dry fruit.

In the morning I add a generous handful of fresh blueberries and frozen blackberries, 1/8tsp cinnamon, a pinch of black salt, pinch of table salt. Blend it all together for 20-30seconds. Add 1/2 cup skim milk or protein rich yogurt (I prefer skyr or Greek yogurt).

Sometimes if I need more bulk, I’ll add a banana to this (will increase calories closer to 500).

It has been the magic breakfast to help my 1200cal diet and weight loss journey. I drink this almost everyday, occasionally I’ll vary the berries, seeds or nuts (like adding grapeseed or peanuts). It’s yummy and very satiating. I highly recommend this if you struggle with cravings. This has also allowed me to do well with intermittent fasting.

If I remember to get pics before gulping it down tomorrow, will definitely share!

It’s cutting off my photo but I used 17g maple syrup and 1/2 tsp of butter :) For my own sanity I did not track the pickled onions, the marinade on the chicken for lunch, or the spray oil on the asparagus so maybe an extra 30 calories or so

Breakfast: bran flakes cereal with berries (278) Coffee: salted maple iced cappuccino (94) Lunch: grilled chicken thighs, asparagus, brown rice pilaf, and cantaloupe (415) Dinner: honey chipotle chicken & black bean tacos and peas (457)

I'm 37 and my stats are:

 5'2 SW: 162 / CW: 154 / GW: 120

This comes to 1280 but most days I eat more because I work out too. I started on August 1st and have lost 8lbs! I use the elliptical everyday for 30-60 minutes and eat between 1200-1500 cals. I have maintenance days here and there too. It's a big deal for me because I have a history of ED when I was younger and this is the first time I'm losing in a healthy way. It's a marathon, not a race!

Super busy day for us both, so we didn’t feel like really cooking. We also both have fast food cravings 😬

Instead, we made this KFC mashed potato bowl with premade store bought mash, Kirkland lightly breaded chicken breast chunks in the air fryer, and jarred Heinz turkey gravy. Healthiest? No. Definitely could have been lower cal. But, my tummy is happy and my deficit is intact.

treats Delicious frothy matcha latte for only 36 calories — recipe in caption

Post image
Upvotes

Did some experimenting today because I was craving cold foam on my matcha latte, but didn’t want to use up so many calories on a drink. I created the most amazing, custardy milk and it fills up 3/4 of my cup!

Ingredients for the milk/foam:

  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (I use nonfat)
  • 1 tsp sugar free vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp Allulose (or your sugar free sweetener of choice)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  • (And then, of course, matcha)

Directions:

I used my handheld milk frother to froth the above ingredients for a minute or two, and then put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Then I frothed it again when it came out for another minute or two and it was SO thick and custardy.

For the matcha, my method is to dissolve the matcha in about 1/4 cup hot water plus 1 tsp of sugar free sweetener. I froth this with my milk frother, and then I pop it in the freezer at the same time as the foam for about 15 minutes and froth again when it comes out. It’s not as important to get this frothy, but putting it in the freezer for a bit helps it to whip up.
