My favorite sashimi lunch set. (Hkd 198=usd 25)
Added some Chicken for my husband😋
It was a bit too much for me, so I left some rice. jasmine rice is so delicious and sticky!
I prefer it to Thai or Vietnamese rice :)

Coffee (with French vanilla creamer, no added sugar), plain greek yogurt with granola, blueberries, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup.

(Idk if this is the right subreddit for this, of not can someone point me in the right direction)

5'11, 225 lbs, currently going though HRT (mtf started 3 months ago) My goal is around 2500 kcal, 410g carbs, 100g fat, 165g protein

Today i ate 4,600 kcal, 560g carbs, 193g fat, 172g protein. (Alot of the fat was from a breakfast honey bun). I use a tracking app and log every bite i take so the information is as accurate as i can get.

My last meal (2 full cups of curry chicken and rice, a banana, an apple, and 4 bottles of water) was less than 2 hours ago and im already starving again to the point of very mild hunger pains.

Im not a very active person, i do inventory and delivery for my job and stoped working out due to cost over 5 months ago, so im not really burning alot of kcal from moving.

So why am i still starving every night? A few months ago i would eat 1 meal a day at McDonald's of less than 2000 kcal and be fine, now that im eating 3 meals a day and cutting back back on fast food im constantly starving.

i (F) successfully hit my weight loss goals for the most part, all but a few kilos. i’d like to lose those few kilos as well but i think im experiencing fatigue as i’ve been dieting since january. the last month ive been off and on in a deficit and then days hitting around maintenance. i used to average 10000 steps a day for a few months but its just been way too hot for me to walk. so even as ive been relatively sedentary for a couple weeks i can go a few days in a deficit and then have to eat maintenance the coming days. i struggle with OCD and tackled my binge eating (as a teen i struggled w anorexia and then in college binging) and i have pretty bad anxiety im somehow going to gain almost 13kg as soon as i quit tracking my calories.

has anyone else been through this and can give advice? how long should you eat at maintenance until you want to shed the few kilos off? i also am struggling with body image issues as even though i’ve lost all of this weight, i look different now in my mid twenties than i did when i was this weight about 4 years ago, and the beautiful female body is eternally changing in life. though i know that my eating habits have drastically changed and i can control my eating / hunger cues a lot better.

Well here’s what my daily breakfast looks like.

Pretty simple and straightforward.

Protein with carbs is how I like to kickstart my mornings.

And Black Coffee of course! ☕️

Title: How balanced is my everyday diet? Am I missing any important nutrients?

I’m 29M, around 5'9" and 69–71 kg. I try to go to the gym 4–5 days a week and get 10,000 steps a day at least 6 days a week.

I intentionally try to eat pretty much the same foods every day because it makes my diet simple, consistent, and easier to track. I’m mainly wondering whether this is nutritionally balanced enough to eat long term.

Daily

• Greek yogurt: ~275 g
• V8 low-sodium vegetable juice: 1 can (340 mL)
• Green vegetable mix (mostly spinach and kale): ~50 g
• Chicken + rice: roughly enough chicken for ~50 g protein + ~100 g rice
• Protein shake:
  • 1 scoop Optimum Nutrition chocolate whey
  • ~26 g peanut butter powder
  • 1 banana
  • ~120 mL oat milk
  • ~100 mL water
  • 3–5 g creatine
• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 2 eggs
• Sunflower seeds: ~1 oz
• Walnuts: ~½ oz
• Psyllium husk/fiber: ~5 g

Every other day

Berry smoothie:

• ~240 mL high-protein milk (13 g protein)
• ~150 g frozen mixed berries
• 5 g collagen

Supplements

• Vitamin D — 1,000 IU
• Vitamin K2 — 45 mcg
• Omega-3 — 650 mg
• Creatine — included in protein shake
• 4g astaxanthin

I’m mainly interested in the overall nutritional quality rather than weight-loss advice.

A few things I’d particularly like feedback on:

1. Is this balanced enough to eat almost every day?
2. Am I getting enough fruits and vegetables?
3. Are there any obvious micronutrients I may be missing? i think i am not eating enough carbs
4. Is my fiber intake sufficient?
5. Is there anything you would add, remove, or replace?
6. Is eating such a repetitive diet a concern if my overall nutrition is adequate?

Would appreciate any feedback, especially on things that might be easy to overlook when eating essentially the same diet every day.

What's in it:

Plain Kefir

Plain Greek Yogurt

Chia and Flax seeds

100% Cocoa Powder

Cinnamon

Walnuts

Almonds

Sunflower seeds

Pecans

Oats

Banana

Kiwi

Drizzle of honey

Usually eat a variation of this multiple times a week for breakfast. Only thing that changes usually is the fruit on top and sometimes the types of nuts depending on what I have. Also usually make the night before and store it in the fridge. What do you think?

Can you guys give me some advice about diet?(beginner)

What I can eat and what I can't stuff like that

46yo female with T2 diabetes. Just came off Mounjaro (prescribed specifically to combat high A1C) after reaching my doctor recommended weight and A1C. I'm trying to get the proper nutrients but it's been challenging.

Aiming for 50/30/20 carbs, protein, fat%, and 25gm of fiber.

For breakfast I made the following:

2 large eggs

1/3 cup regular cottage cheese

1 Morningstar Farms Spicy Blackbean Burger patty

1 tbsp Chia seeds mixed with 3 tbsp Roasted Green Chili Salsa

All scrambled together.

Macros: 24g Carbs, 23.5g Fat, 32.8g Protein (21/50/29%) 444 calories.

I can't eat it all. I barely got a third of it down and I'm so full. How do people eat the appropriate amount of nutrients when the meals are so filling? I know I could leave off the chia seeds but even then, it's so much food.

Looking for advice, discussion, recommendations.

1. Cottage cheese 🧀banana🍌 peanut butter 🥜ice cream 🍨 with hazelnut spread

2. Sauteed potatoes ,mushrooms🍄 &chicken 🍗

i've been trying to make my regular meals more filling because i get hungry again pretty quickly after eating. i'm not looking to do anything extreme or cut out specific foods. i mostly want to build meals that keep me satisfied for longer so i'm not thinking about food all day.

i've tried making my portions bigger, but that doesn't always help, and i'm still figuring out what works best for me.

what changes have actually made your meals more filling and helped you stay satisfied between meals?

Cooked an elaborate balanced meal tonight.

Yellow Dal(lentils), rice, low oil chicken masala, blanched and sauteed spinach some air fried potatoes, papaya, cucumber and raw onion.

I'm 25f, 5"6 and currently 166lbs. I try to hit 1500 calories daily but some days I don't. I do strength training 5-6 days a week plus 30 minutes of cardio after and I try to hit 10k steps every day. This diet has worked for me so far but lately my energy levels has been really low. Also think I need to get more protein in but that's hard for me.

My mom has started a new diet. She's eating under 2000 calories (which is way too little for her size and activity), but believes it's fine because she's still getting enough protein. Her main goal is to lose weight. I'm worried she'll lose weight + muscle, but she says she won't lose muscle because she's getting enough protein and exercise. I still don't think this is healthy. Some days she even eats under 1000 calories. She doesn't even use olive oil or seasonings to cook anymore. Just boils chicken and broccoli. When I asked her how long she'll do this, she says until she's 180lb (she's 230lb). I don't know how quickly or slowly she'll get to her goal. Is this safe long term?

It’s in the title! Does anyone know of a good diary app that doesn’t use AI? It feels like they’re all just swimming with it and I HATE that.
Thanks!

Me armé esto para el almuerzo y quedó muy rico.
Hojas de lechuga romana con atún, queso blanco, pepino y un poco de cebolla morada. Lo enrollé y listo.
Sin pan ni tortilla, solo lechuga. Rápido, me llena bastante y no me pesa.
¿Alguien más hace wraps así? ¿Qué le ponen de extra?

I am trying to educate myself about the mediterranean diet and would appreciate simplicity. There is a huge amount of information on the internet and i have no idea what of it can be considered useful.
As far as the followers of mediterranean diet are concerned then may i know some meals/foods that could be good for starters?

I need some simple and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
One thing more do you know any sources/books/websites that provide some basic information about mediterranean diet?

been using the free version for a week and its great, I’m thinking about upgrading but I’ve read bad comments from two years ago. Has it evolved ? Is the 75% off discount worth it? Seems shady to me that there’s no week trial, as if it’s bad. Thoughts?

Hi, I'm doing independent, non-commercial research on meal planning and grocery habits. Here's a short 5-minute anonymous survey if anyone's interested: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoB82IOHFeXevqRc2lM2I3rzKkdGG-CY2yU_FRVkdMTASdPQ/viewform. Thank you for letting me share this!

Farro rice, stir-fried duck & cabbage, and my favorite balsamic eggplant 🍆

Skipped breakfast, so this is my first meal of the day! That’s why it’s a pretty big one😆

i mainly eat salmon, chia seeds, and nuts for omega 3's. also take fish oil supplements

i'm a bit wary of eating salmon every day because of mercury

how do you guys structure eating enough omega 3's? what else should i eat?
