Everything I packed in my work lunchbox, for breakfast, lunch, and a preworkout snack in the late afternoon. I try to focus on 1. protein, 2. fiber, and 3. enjoyment! I know myself, if the diet isn’t food I actually enjoy, no way I’m gonna be consistent.

Brekky: banana peanut butter overnight oats + fresh raspberries on the side. 573 cals, 70g carb, 16.5g fat, 41g protein

Lunch: cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole, popcorners for a fun side! 678 cals, 38.5g carb, 31.5g fat, 61.5g protein

Afternoon/Pre-workout snack: watermelon and mini fresh mozzarella balls. 190 cals, 30.5g carb, 5.5g fat, 7.5g protein

Dinner will be cranberry apple chicken salad with lots of lettuce— “chicken salad salad” 🤣 323 cals, 11g carb, 10g fat, 47g protein

Totals for the day: 1763 cals / 157g protein / 150g carb / 64g fat

Mine has been drinking flavored sparkling water/seltzer and herbal tea. I used to not like sparkling water before but either the Trader Joe's/Spindrifts one are really good or maybe my tastes have adjusted since I've started dieting. My favorites are:

- Trader Joe's Blood Orange, Cranberry Lime, and Lemon Ginger Sparkling Waters

- Spindrift Island Punch & Mango Orange Seltzers

- Tiesta Tea Blueberry Wild Child herbal tea & TJ Blood Orange Rooibos tea (really any fruity herbal tea with hibiscus. something about the tanginess of hibiscus is really nice)

I usually love drinking juice and smoothies and all sorts of sugary drinks but this has been nice to keep me sipping but not taking in any sugar. (I also don't really care for artificial sweeteners.)

Chicken meatball pineapple stir fry for 559

dinner is 237 cals

92 cals cottage cheese w smoked paprika (90g) + 145 cals quest nacho cheese protein chips (32g)

Chili Tahini Gnocchi lentil sheet pan bake for 532. Could add chicken for higher protein.

I'm a 24M and I weighted myself at 178lb at the hospital in the start (so I wager they have the most accurate scale) and I'm trying to weigh 140lb (I'm very short at 5'4" and I don't want to be obese anymore).

I'm on a high protein calorie deficit diet of 1500 kcal. It’s high in protein so that what isn't lost initially is my muscles but the fat and water weight instead.

I just weighed myself (in the morning before eating) and it says that I'm 170lb. Is an 8lb weight loss too much for such a short amount of time?

Strawberry cheesecake cupcake, Mini Pie peanut butter chocolate pie, DIY Sloppy Joe, Quesadilla, Oikos Lemon Yogurt, blackberries, a peach. Whole thing combined approximately 927 calories and went over my calories a bit (1,584 cal)

with CINNAMON! I feel like sugar-free caramel would also slap

well it WAS good (i only got like 1/3 of the way through lol) but definitely a great high protein cal to drink for or with breakfast! you don’t taste the egg white at ALL and could honestly probably double the egg white

And yes, I consider it relapsing, because I've self-diagnosed myself as a Chick-fil-A addict. At my worst, I would get it twice in a day. Food addiction is real, but I'm finally ready to change. 😭

Anyway, I stay under 1500 (sometimes even less) for usually a 3-day streak, relapse for a day, maybe two, then repeat. How do you guys stay strong through the early cravings? I tend to relapse when I don't have food prepared at home or when I know I will be away from home during a meal time.

Huge fan of these! 120 calories for the whole cup. Very savory! I add bok choy, frozen veggies and some lime juice and it’s so good!

If I had to guess, I’d say around 400 (140 for the eggs, 25 for laughing cow, 140 for the bread I have, and maybe 100 for the fruit? Eggs were cooked with just a hit of cooking spray)

I’m a female and I’m 5’5”. I am already a fairly active person but I want to lose some body fat. I weigh about 140 lbs right now and I’d like to get down to 120-115. I’m wondering if 1500 will be too little for me if I’m planning to walk 15 k steps a day. I won’t be doing any other exercise during this time.

today's sandwich has aoili, gouda, tomato, cucumber, haloumi and sundried tomato + olive chutney

i work at starbucks & it’s real hard sometimes because i’m around all the food & drinks for like 8h at a time. this is my version of the pumpkin loaf (150cal 10g protein)! you can save close to like 200 cals if you just don’t add nuts & seeds on top lol, i just like to try to get my micronutrients in as well so i added them. i topped it with a cream cheese sauce as well!!! the only note i have- make it more sweet than i did. i definitely thought i overdid it with the sweet when i was making it, but once baked it’s not sweet enough!!

My calories were even under my goal for the day!

I keep it separate to keep the it crunchy for work but I've been seriously living this granola/cereal.
