I've been buying this brand for years and it's always been nice, sweet and yummy. I'm so sad... the new one tastes fine for like five seconds and then it tastes sour and bitter. If anyone has some good zero cal caramel recommendations i would love to hear them (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

question Thoughts about Artificial sweetener

12 Upvotes

Do you think they make sticking to your diet harder or easier?

I feel like they make me hungrier faster or is it not related?

I was thinking about cutting them out from my diet and notice how hunger, energy and cravings levels.

Also I want tips on what to do when i feel like i need something but I'm not actually hungry!

Big ol low cal dinner with great macros! And it’s delicious.
Collard greens and egg whites are BESTIES. so, so delicious.
I can’t eat over 2.5-3 cups volume or my stomach absolutely dies so this is just on the maximum of volume for me! Should do its job of keeping me full for a while

Any time I eat safecatch tuna my protein is through the roof. Really bad carb & fat day though. I typically don’t eat this much processed protein slop foods but I went to Walmart and was eager to try the Legendary pasta, quest chips and seasonal built puff bar. Lmk if you want a review on any of them.

Not pictured but I stole two of my bf’s Tyson chicken nuggets to chop up for my Mac and cheese.

Ghost is + 10 cal ofc

Noodle is 10 cal, sauce is 40 cal per 1/2 cup

Texture is like aloe Vera jelly. It’s convincing enough to be noodles for me. Not too bad.
Not super awesome. Good low cal filler meal.

Black Bear Diner

0 Upvotes

My daughter chose this for our dinner together tonight and I want to semi-splurge, but not as heavily as possible (been doing a lot of splurging lately). They list all the calories, so that's very helpful, but if you have personal favorites, please share them. I don't want suggestions based on the menu (or advice on how to eat out); only on personal experience if you've eaten there for let's say 800 calories or less. Thanks!

treats Berries and milk, 50 calories

Post image
20 Upvotes

This bowl is only 50 calories.
This isn’t a new concept, but I forgot how much I like it. It really satisfies my sweet tooth when I want something cold and sweet.

Ingredients:
1/2 serving of blueberries
1/2 serving of unsweetened almond milk
Sugar substitute of your choice, to taste

It’s basically no calories and makes me feel like I’m eating something indulgent. You could make it more of a meal by adding extra berries and some protein powder, or blend it into a smoothie. The purple cereal milk at the end is the best part.

I know some of you are going to say, “My sensitive teeth could never.” I have sensitive teeth, too. I just let mine thaw for about 10 minutes before eating it, and that helps.

other Sourdough with Deficit?

Post image
0 Upvotes

What’s everyone take on sourdough with deficit? I started sourdough last January. I don’t buy bread anymore. I have to use ChatGPT to help me calculate calories and I have to weigh every slice. It has a 7 day shelf life but it’s healthy. But it’s full of calories. The only thing I haven’t done is freeze the loaf in individual slices. Any thoughts?

question Anyone else get sick/ forget to eat?

Since being in deficit for a few weeks I feel like my body has naturally gotten used to it. That seems obvious I know, but I get kind of sick sometimes when I eat a decent sized meal. Anyone else feel this way or am I crazy? Bonus piks of what I had for late lunch! I had 120cal chips and salsa at noon and just realized i needed more food, made this plate, but Im now feeling a bit ill and i havent even finished!

I’ve hit a plateau 🥺

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve been doing 1200 for around two months now and I’ve lost 5kg already. I reached a normal BMI and I noticed that the number on the scale does not go down anymore. I do exercise 5x a week and 10k steps a day. I’m thinking it could be due to my menstrual phase (bloating, etc.) or that my metabolism has eventually adapted. What do you think? What should I do? I’m still 5 kg away from my goal weight 🥹
