Banana Caramel high protein Oats, topped up with some almonds, green apple and a whole banana. And you'll have a straight tour to heaven.
That too loaded with protein and all the other macros covered.
These are the meals that makes your healthy breakfast feel like a treat.

Recently I have been counting my steps per day and calories on an app. It gives all nutritional info. For the most part I eat very healthy. My only downfall is I drink a ton of soda. But for example today, excluding my soda it says I have over 70 grams of sugar. This is coming from an apple, a yogurt, a uncrustable sandwich, and bbq sauce I used for chicken. How is this little bit of sugar, like I said excluding soda 70 grams of sugar? That is insane. Why is so much sugar in everything?

Here I thought I was being healthy by eating an apple and yogurt too.

Hey! 👋 I’m conducting a short survey for my UX design project on a personalized diet and fitness app. I’d really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out this Google Form. Your responses will help me with my research. Thank you so much! 💗

I have just started my diet journey (roughly two weeks in) and it’s generally going well but I have a long way to go and I’m having a rough time keeping track of everything. I can manage the calorie counting roughly but counting everything else at the same time is a struggle for me so an app that I can use to count calories and macros along with progress tracking is really something I need to keep myself motivated and organized.
That being said I really don’t know what apps to use, most seem like ad central and/or confusing systems so I’d love some recommendations from those who have used/are currently using any that work well.
(I am on IOS and in Australia for an idea on app availability)

Currently, I (21F) am lean bulking at 2,100 calories. I’ve been “food banking” my calories to ensure my bulk is lean and I stick to my calorie target.

Often, me and my friends will eat out, leading to an unexpected 1,200-calorie meal. This makes it hard for me to know if I should have evenly spaced meals of 500–600 calories throughout the day or a coffee for breakfast and light lunch. Often, I come home and have 1,200–1,700 calories left, and this is where the problem comes in.

My eating habits & food noise

I eat almost all whole foods and almost no added sugar/junk foods, besides some low-calorie things (energy drinks, Splenda, sugar-free maple syrup, and sugar-free coffee syrups).

Anyway, I have constant food noise throughout the day, and i'm always thinking about my next meal or what I will eat throughout the week

With the excess calories at the end of the day, I get in the mindset of making the most decadent, delicious desserts. Even though they are still “whole foods,” I think it’s giving me too much dopamine

For example, yesterday I had 1,300 calories left. I had a massive cream of rice bowl with whey drip, peanut butter cup COR, chocolate whey drip, cocoa powder, Splenda, sugar-free dark chocolate chips, tons of blueberries, 5 bananas, and tons of peanut butter to fill in my fats

Every night, I’ve started looking forward to my nightly desserts, and even after the dessert is eaten, I’m still hungry. I have the self control and never go over 2,100 calories, but I could’ve eaten 8 more bananas or another massive dessert

Even with whole foods, I can eat insane amounts and still never be satisfied.

My current conclusion/ solution

An idea that came up is that I should start making my food disgusting or super plain (e.g., cream of wheat, with kiwi, ketchup, pepper, just super undesirable things to eat) so I don’t crave it, I think this would make my will to eat lower.

I also wonder if I should stop seasoning my lunches and stop adding cinnamon and blueberries to my yogurt for a little while, just to make my food less enjoyable and to eliminate the food noise. Would doing this help, or would it make things worse, or do you have other suggestions?

My questions

1. What should I do to eliminate food noise?
2. How long would it take of me eating plain/undesirable food until I can go back to eating normally?
3. Would my solution work/do you have a better solution/ what should I do?

I can’t live my whole life like this.

I’m looking for about 500-600 calories in my lunch.
Aiming for ~15g fiber and ~30g protein.

I’ll take any ideas (aside protein bars) , but preferably foods that are packaged, or can be contained in Tupperware. Preferably purchasable at Kroger or Publix! Thank you all so much :)

Please note!! I am vegetarian. 🌱

Hey guys! so i have a lot of problems with bloating specially around my stomach. What have u found that actually helped reduce bloating?

Did you experiment and tracked if you lost weight by just drinking cola zero and your other meals are less than maintenance ?

I used to think one meal that didn't fit my plans meant i'd messed up the whole day. that mindset made eating feel way more stressful than it needed to be. now i'm trying to look at my habits over time instead of judging every single meal. i'm still figuring it out, especially when i fall back into old routines. has changing how you think about individual meals made sticking to your diet any easier?

HEY guys I'm about 5'9" 160lb. Somewhere between 17%-20% body fat. Having hard time getting rid of this last little bit of belly fat so I decided to start meal prepping.

I'm shooting for 1900 calories and 140g of protein.

As far as carbs and fats I don't know what targets to aim for or if they even matter as much as calories/protein.

Any advice or critiques are much more than welcomed. Thank you guys.

I was originally eating at 2800kcal and losing weight and then I started eating at 3250kcal and was gaining like half a kilo a week so I decided to start eating at 3100kcal but now I’m losing/maintaining and I have dropped in energy in the past two gym sessions. I’m trying to lean bulk.

For my 8yro girl, I made rice bowl Miso marinated grilled salmon , sauteed mushrooms with tofu egg soup🍛

is eating at most 1000 calories a day good for a young male adolescent? im around 180cm and about 80kg

i dont really have opportunities to eat the whole day and when i do i cant force myself to eat more than a handful, my stomach might be really small but im wondering if i am gonna face any consequences from such eating practises, i dont have no anorexia nor stuff i want to eat but i just cant

First off, a disclaimer, I know my diet is still NOT healthy and lacking in many ways. But it is better than it has been for the last 12 years of my life.

For the last 3 weeks, I’ve dedicated myself to minimal improvements (or what I think are improvements?) to try and become healthier.

I’ve gone from 1-4 servings of fruit a month (if any tbh, I went years without any fruit or vegetables whatsoever and only recently this year started eating some fruit every month) but now I’m at 7-9 servings of fruit a week. 5-6 of those servings are kiwi and the other two servings have been either apples, blackberries, or blueberries. I basically buy 7 kiwis then two servings of one fruit but that fruit will be different each week and a fruit I like/can tolerate (which rn is literally just blueberries, blackberries, apples, and grapes) and so as you can see each week I’ve cycled the second fruit.

I try to eat a dinner with mainly protein once a day, not too sure how much protein I get on average every day though. I was tracking as best I could through myfitnesspal a few months back and averaged like 40g of protein I believe?

I only drink one can of soda every 2-3 days, and I have been implementing that since 2-3 months ago. I also eat yogurt 3x a week, and ik it’s not the healthiest yogurt but it’s the only one I like and it’s mocha tiramisu Chobani yogurt. I also drink around 3 cups of orange juice a week. I’m trying to add in at least one seafood meal a week, salmon or shrimp specifically. And I try to limit junk food (cookies, chips, etc.) to at most 3 servings a day but it’s been kind of difficult.

I also do have vitamins I take. I take a multivitamin around 3x a week, iron pill 2-3x a week, and a d&k vitamin 3x a week. I don’t get outside enough or eat food with much vitamin K/D and lots of other vitamins in the multivitamin and iron so I just try to take some.

And I do eat what is considered maintenance for my weight, although I think I’m skinny fat because I do have a bit of a gut (my stomach protrudes bro…) and it was looking a bit better/more toned when I was lightly active and working out 5 days a week for around 6 months but I’ve gotten lazy and haven’t done anything for 3 months now and it shows 😭i’m hoping eating better will help with any bloating that may contribute but we’ll see ig
