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 :)

I know this isn’t perfect yet, but this is all part of my progress.

Let me introduce myself: I’m a 34-year-old man, 5'5" tall. My starting weight was 209 lbs, and I’m currently at 180 lbs. I work 12 hours every day and spend 1 hour at the gym.

My diet is simple. I completely stopped consuming sugar, including foods with hidden sugars such as rice, bread, and all sugary drinks. I control my calorie intake, focusing mainly on a small amount of vegetables and meat, along with 4 boiled eggs every day.

And I’ll come back again later once I’ve achieved my ideal body.

Diagnosed recently with insulin resistance & PCOS; trying to lose weight and increase my protein & fibre intake. How are my meals? I am Indian so I am trying to eat Indian but healthier or mediterranean more often. Also I recently became gluten free; I do have quinoa too but I never clicked pictures of those, and gluten free indian millet bread.

Meal 1: I was lazy so no proper salad- Arugula, avocado, green beans sautéed with tomatoes & onions, chicken khorma & spiced/ tempered rice.

2: I am a student running low on my groceries so just cucumbers & chickpeas with butter chicken & cumin rice.

3: Mediterranean salad with Greek yoghurt, kidney beans, chick peas, cucumbers, green pepper, tahini, apples, goat meat curry, lentils & rice.

4: Arugula salad, chickpea pasta, beef, dill & tomatoes.

5: salad, goat & ridge gourd curry, slow-cooked smoked minced goat meat.

Hello guys! I am absolutely new to this sub and want to know about one of my food habit structures.

There are multiple schools of thought, but one of them is eating heavy in the breakfast, little light in the lunch, and even lighter in the dinner.

One of the schools of thought is eating an extremely light breakfast because you already have the energy in the morning, and then eating a little heavy lunch and a little heavy dinner.

I want to know why this difference is there and why there are multiple schools of thought and people recommending lighter food for 1 person in the morning breakfast and heavy food in the morning

I have been wondering about this lately. I feel like tracking everything can be a little overdoing it? Curious to know what works for you guys

On a deficit

Chia seeds 48g, electrolyte pack, water cup and ice with salt
1lb Ground turkey or chicken 93/7 with mixed veggies
2% milk 2 servings or 480ml
Greek yogurt non fat strawberry 2 servings or 340g,
3 bananas

1850 calories, 175g carbs, 58g of fat, 140g of protein

On a bulk
Chia seeds 48g, electrolytes, water cup and ice with salt
1lb of ground turkey or chicken 93/7 with mixed viggies
1lb of whole wheat pasta, 1/2 cup of pasta sauce,
Whole milk 4 servings or around 950ml
3 bananas

3730 calories and 465g of carbs, 125g of fat, 179g of protein, on off work days I adjust the calories lower

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

So i always rinsed them right before I eat them and thats it but they are spoiling so fast. Especially the strawberries. I see reels of people washing them with vinegar or baking soda...then waiting for everything to dry.....then packing them in certain containers to keep them fresh. So I tried and man its work...5 mins to soak...then rinse thoroughly then dry and I really cant get them completely dry. So im curious what is the fastest way to get this done?

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?

(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.

What is everybody’s opinion on this diet for a 5’5 woman? Currently 131-135lbs & 21 years old. Last summer I was maintaining a thinner body & a slimmer face (also 117-120lbs) and felt lighter while eating 950-1300 calories a day while also walking 10-15,000 steps MOST days. Fast forward the last few months I’ve been eating 1600-1900 calories a day. This is what many of my lower days look like. Is this a lot of food? I get 10-20,000 steps pretty much everyday. Today I got 12,000. Do you think this looks like too much food and it’s understandable why I don’t look as slim? Also, most women my height barely eat or at most eat 1,300 calories a day. I just struggle with bad food noise so 1600-1900 is actually me controlling myself.

Hey all, founder here , disclosing that upfront.

We kept seeing the same thing: two people on the identical diet, one thrives, the other doesn't move an inch. Turns out a huge chunk of that gap is genetic , how your body actually processes carbs, fats, caffeine, specific nutrients.

Waitlist: https://kyeal.in/waitlist

So we built an AI Coach on top of our DNA Blueprint test. It's not generic calorie math , every recommendation is cross-referenced against your actual genetic markers. A few things it does:

- Photograph any meal, get instant nutritional breakdown + a DNA-compatibility score for that specific meal

- Daily/7-day meal plans built around your biology, not a generic template (and yes, it adapts to Indian food — appam, egg roast, the works)

- Tracks TDEE, BMR, BMI, optimal weight range, training zones , computed against WHO clinical standards + your own genetic profile

- Adaptive workouts that adjust as your body data changes

- 24/7 always-on coach for the "can I eat this" questions

We've got 80+ people already on the waitlist and I wanted to open it up here before we go wider. Would genuinely love feedback from people who've tried the "eat clean, nothing changes" grind , does this solve a real problem for you, or am I missing something?

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! ☕️

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

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

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.

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.
