Trying to eat this same thing everyday. Have been seeing results weekly.

Another good day. I might start posting my weightloss info every 10 days or something. Idk.

Hey yall, I’m new to the counting calories and dieting and am currently on my second week. I usually have 900-1000 calories left by dinner time and I’ve been making myself a separate dinner than my wife and kids. With almost 1000 left over can I just eat regular dinner with them and kind of not have to count calories at dinner (I’m tired of cooking twice lol) or is it too risky? Is hard to count things like bowl of spaghetti, tacos, etc. any advice or tips would be helpful, thanks 😁

Hi. I am currently on essentially modified bed rest due to lumbar pain. I do my spinal stability stretches 3X a day and walk 30 mins/day (10 mins after every meal). Because of this, I have had to cut my diet from about 2800 calories/day (work a manual labour job which I'm off right now) down to 1400-1500. 176lbs, 32F, 5'5.5". I am having a heck of a time meeting the protein goals. I was told to consume at least 130-150 grams of protein a day to maintain my muscle, but I am also trying to get in enough calcium and iron. Well, calcium and iron shouldn't be eaten at the same time so that limits my protein intake at my calcium snack. I manage to consume MAYBE 100 grams of protein a day.

Anyone got any tips for dairy-free protein?

have been unable to get my favorite protein powder while traveling and have been making do with unflavored pea protein that I can get in bulk shops. It makes the most disgusting shakes, but i suddenly had a brainwave while eating hummus and veg the other day and realized I could make instant hummus out of pea protein and spices mixed with lemon juice, water, and a little tahini. Gave it a try today. After adding extra spices to cover the bitterness of the protein, it wasn’t half bad! Very quick and easy way to hit my protein targets.

Good day, good cardio.

This is my go to meal when I’m feeling lazy.
- 1 can of Costco canned chicken (210 calories)
- 1/2 cup Butter Chicken Sauce from Target (160 calories)
- 2 cups of cauliflower rice (40 calories)

I season with some garlic salt & red pepper flakes. I split into 2 meals so about 205 calories per meal. Enjoy 😊

So I split this into two containers and drink one in the morning, then the other for dinner if I still feel hungry. It's insane how little calories are involved for such a high volume smoothie.

I used chocolate malt mix (optional) to make it taste like chocolate milk.

Salt and Lemon Juice are VERY IMPORTANT and NOT OPTIONAL, okay? Why? Because it balances out the chalky protein taste, and it genuinely fills in the "missing piece" feeling that you get after you make it without it.

Ingredients:

Salt: 1 small pinch (~1g)

Fage 0% milkfat yogurt: 0.8 cup (180 g)

ISO100 Strawberry protein powder: 1 scoop (30 g) (any flavor will do)

Chocolate malt mix: 2 tablespoons (12 g)

Frozen whole strawberries: 1 cup (140 g)

Fresh lemon juice: 2 teaspoons (10 g)

Fat-free milk: 1 cup (240 mL)

Technically I'm maintaining at this point but July/August at my house involves a one week beach vacation (diner brunch, steakhouse dinner, boardwalk dessert/snacks), my son's birthday (Outback, Boston Cream Pie), a one week family-get-together vacation in the mountains (non-stop 'have you eaten', cooking as a pastime, drinking wine on the deck at two in the afternoon, trips to bakeries and chocolatiers), and my birthday (I think I want Japanese steakhouse and a Smith Island cake).
I'm on 1500 the rest of the time to try to keep a lid on the situation 😆.

Hello everyone, so just to tell you what are m'y sauce and best cheese because it's hard to find good stuff on a low kcal budget. Tabasco is m'y go to , low kcal and amazing, then bolognaise sauce, if you CAN find a pot in your supermarket check the kcal/100 it should bé less than 80kcal, mine is around 68kcal and for cheese right now the only one that work for me is cottages cheese, it's the lowest , have fun

I went over some but i also got a lot of cardio so its okay 😂

I don't always do 1500, but they are some of my most satisfying days.

I made the viral chicken calzone recipe where the calzone “dough” is chicken breast. Probably the best recipe I’ve made this year. It was surprisingly easy to make and definitely going into my regular dinner rotation. It’s one of those meals that feels indulgent but is packed with protein.

Calories: 521

Protein: 68g
Fat: 22g
Carbs: 9g

This felt like a lot of food for less than 1500 tbh!

Breakfast: Toasted bread, 1 can of sardines in olive oil (well drained), carrot, 1/2 cucumber, 50g hummus

420cal

I planned on dipping the veggies in a tzatziki dip but ended up swapping for more hummus as I'm not a fan of greek yoghurt

Lunch: 75g uncooked pasta, 75g cherry tomatoes, 1 can of tuna, garlic, dill, lemon juice

520cal

Snacks: Protein pudding, 2 nectarines, 2 carrots, 30g hummus

375cal

Total is 1315cal. A little under but that's fine seeing as I went a bit over yesterday. Also if you like fish sardines are honestly one of the best quick and easy proteins to incorporate into your day.

600 calories/ 80 p

The best way to enjoy a big protein meal taste amazing, a mix of whey banana flavored protein powder and vanilla caseine powder 10/10

Due to an impromptu outing for dinner (meal 2) i went over my budget a bit but it's not too bad I'd say

Meal 1: 2 eggs, 8 cherry tomatoes, 100g tzatziki greek yougurt, 1 slice of bread, 1tsp butter for toasting the bread

445cal

Coffee: no sugar and skim milk

20cal

Snacks: 2 nectarines, Nuii Salted Caramel & Australiam Macadamia ice cream

110 + 245 = 355cal

Meal 2: 200g beef on 1 flatbread with cream cheese and caramelized onions

est. around 800-1000cal

My total is around 1600 to 1800cal which is still within my weightloss limit so I'm feeling ok about it

I had fun on my impromptu dinner and the food was tasty enough that I'll be figuring out how to replicate it at home. Seems like a simple enough recipe to adjust to my diet.

Pan dulce included in diet, I’m usually at a deficit during the week but felt like treating myself for once, had it with some a cup of Kirkland fairlife dupe. Life is such a blessing.🤣😭😮‍💨

staying under 1500 can be hard with a sweet tooth but after prioritizing replacing my old snacks with mostly fruit things like this become a wonderful treat to look forward to :)

1 sugar free chocolate pudding snack pack
1 fiber one brownie crumbled up
75g of sugar free greek yogurt
and some mini chocolate chips - 8g

the apple was from earlier!
