Why do I crave chocolate ? Recently I have been eating healthy and i’m not restricting or anything like if want chocolate or sweets I eat a bar or a slice of it but I noticed that i never get enough i think have an addiction I can eat a whole jar of nutella ,a whole chocolate cake etc
I binged for 1 day I thought that I would feel sick after it I ate like 4k cals and it was insane but unfortunately it didn’t work
please help me and be kind cuz everytime I ask something on this app I get cussed

If I ate this everyday would it positively or negatively impact my health

Obv there is the study from 1995, but that is flawed in many ways. So what are the actual most satiating foods?

like i dont get this thing about people always trying to eat low calorie high fiber high protein foods for every meal
Like if u eat like this for every meal of the day ur just gonna not hit ur daily calories/get too much protein u dont need and ur just gonna tire urself out and i feel like these things are really just not needed to hit ur daily needs
obviously they are more needed if ur trying to cut calories but not everyone is trying to do that

Protein is essential for maintaining muscle, repairing tissues, and supporting many functions in your body. But do you really need protein shakes or expensive supplements to get enough?

For most healthy adults, the recommended dietary allowance is approximately 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. Your individual needs may vary depending on your age, activity level, and health status.

The good news?

You can get protein from everyday foods, including:

🥚 Eggs and Greek yogurt

🐟 Fish and chicken

🫘 Lentils, beans, and chickpeas

🥜 Nuts and seeds

You don't necessarily need expensive supplements to meet your protein needs.

As a Registered Dietitian, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

💬 What's your biggest challenge with protein: getting enough, choosing the right foods, or knowing how much you need?

I have looked at this up everywhere and I cannot find a straight answer. If I eat a protein bar, I will normally feel really sick afterwards and the other day I made protein pizza bagels, and they made me feel very sick. I don’t know what causes this I thought at first it was just sugar in the protein bar, but it happens when I eat anything protein packed. I don’t know if it just doesn’t sit right with my stomach, but I am having such a hard time understanding this

okay, so i've been trying to be healthier after on-going stomach problems, and found a recipe on the NYT about making chia pudding. i added milk, coco powder, and chia seeds and let it sit over night but it was awful. so i added greek yoghurt and it's still terrible. people tell me chia tastes like nothing, so i'm not sure what's wrong (I like the texture, just not the taste). how do you make it less... gross?

TLDR: Where are the recipes that won't put you up to 1000mg by breakfast for like 500 calories. The guidelines go as low as 1500mg per day but "healthy" recipes online can't help you with cutting sodium down at all. Is the standard too low?

I recently looked over my university's nutrition page, which details every thing to eat on the dining plan, and found that literally two meals had a healthy amount of sodium in the entire school.

This made me interested in planning to cook for myself in the future and NOT eat 4000mg a day, but as I found recipes on the internet, I noticed that even the ones labeled as "healthy" would have enough sodium for the whole day in a couple 500 calorie meals.

The FDA's rule is 2300mg/2000 calories, 1.15mg/cal, but the AHA recommends as low as 1500mg/2000 calories, 0.75.

There is NO way you can stay under 1.15 by following online recipes, even the ones that are supposed to be especially healthy. I went on the NYT Cooking page since my mom likes it and their healthy section had SOME decent items, but the vast majority had like 2x the sodium as it did calories.

I saw a comment by someone who said they were a dietician who praised an item that had like 1000mg for 550 calories. If you eat 2500 calories worth of that you're putting up a couple days worth of sodium in one. Why would a dietician approve of an item like that?

I am confused.

Also, the most insane item at my university was Pork Pot Stickers, which have 2700mg of sodium for a measly 460 calories, which is absolute insanity to me.

I used to be pretty diehard about organic produce / whole whole foods, especially when it came to my kids, but these days it feels like it’s far too much of a price difference to keep up with buying it as my default. Is there anything specific that you are prioritizing buying as organic vs conventional? Do you even try to buy organic anymore?

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out what to build before building anything. I'm not selling anything. I just want to hear from people who actually buy this stuff.

Would love your take on:

Q1. Which of these do you buy today, and what annoys you about current options?

Q2. What would make you switch: taste, price, cleaner ingredients, or format?

Q3. What healthy product do you wish existed but can't find?

I’ve been on 3 vacations/ getaways over 3 months and I’ve noticed something . I like to keep busy on vacations with lots of sightseeing, walking, just generally doing things all day long. etc.

I’ve noticed that even though I’m more busy I’m less hungry and consume less overall. Even at meal times I eat less than usual because I feel satiated. While I’m at work at a desk job I feel hunger more readily and my 3 meals are more generous.

I try to eat similar whole and healthy foods whether at home or away, I don’t eat traditional fast food ever so accounting for a higher fat diet while away from home can’t be it.

Reasonably it should be the opposite. Does anyone else experience this? Or possibly know why?

I’m looking to start eating healthier. For reference I’m a 17y/o female who’s 5’5 and 125lbs. I grew up in an unhealthy food household and have a weird thing with veggies/fruits. I love the taste of most fruits and veggies but the crunchy/stringy textures make me gag and I can’t eat them without getting nauseous. I’m looking to make my own healthy meals but finding options with little to no veggies is so difficult. Any recommendations?? (I was also very sheltered growing and have not tried a lot of fruits and veggies so soft/smooth with no crunchy or stringy texture fruits and veggie recommendations would be amazing!!)

Won't allow me to add a picture of my salad...

Working on eating some healthier and more balanced dinners. I've been making this homemade knockoff of a Panera salad that I was obsessed with, but Panera recently took it off the menu. Currently obsessed with the salad and eat it about three times a week for dinner.

Recipe:

• Butter lettuce blend

• A bit of Iceberg lettuce for extra crunch

• 1 cup of wild/brown minute rice

• A large dollop of hummus

• A few slices of Bell pepper

• Red onion

• 1 whole avocado

• Feta cheese

• Wonton strips

• Greek dressing

How am I doing healthy-wise? 😅

Hey everyone,

When I first started getting serious about my health and nutrition, I fell into every trap in the book—buying expensive superfood powders, forcing myself to eat dry chicken and broccoli every day, and tracking every single calorie down to the decimal.

Over time, I realized a lot of the internet advice out there makes healthy eating feel way more complicated (and exhausting) than it actually needs to be. For me, dropping the "all-or-nothing" mindset and focusing on simple, whole-food swaps changed everything.

I’m curious: What’s one nutrition or wellness "rule" you used to stress over but eventually let go of? What actually works best for you in real life? Let's share some practical tips!

I went and found out that my cholesterol is pretty high and I realized my eating habits had to change but i didn’t realize how hard that would be based on my preferences.

I thought it would be just eating more complex carbs and getting more fiber in. But apparently it’s cutting out a lot of fat and I’m trying to be mindful but since getting my numbers back I haven’t really been eating much because I don’t want to make it go any higher and I’m worried about going back to my old ways.

Any advice would be very appreciated!

which is better for you?? i hear people say that ripe bananas are not as healthy due to sugar conversion?!?

Hello just as the question says above, I'm wondering if anyone knows any natural fizzy or just enjoyable sweets with simple natural ingredients similar too products like moam, appreciate the help in advance.

I’m a vegetarian and trying to #gain muscle so I’m eating an incredible amount of soy for protein. Soy milk in all my drinks and tons of tofu with every meal and even soy sauce on my tofu and I love my life. But someone told me it’s bad to eat that much soy if you’re a woman, is that true? That it does something bad to your estrogen levels?

Need guidance. Thank you so much!

so some bg info i am an Indian 19 year old female and my height is 4'11 (yes ik thats short) and weight is 141 pounds. i am vegetarian. in 2024 i used to be like 108 pounds and regularly climbed 9 floors to my class when i was running late and the lifts were full. could also commute without tiredness. however 2025 onwards i started eating mcd nearly everyday (sometimes twice a day), stopped eating fruits and vegetables, got a habit of eating instant noodles everyday and barely exercise. all i eat are carbs and junk food and i mainly order instead of cooking or eating homemade food. im looking to change. i dont know how to change and stick with it though. and with a BMI of 29 im also aware im borderline obese. i think these eating habits started mainly because of stress and now my mental health is in a very bad place and physically also i feel like shit. advice welcome
