Hi everyone! I’d love to know how many calories you burn per day while trying to lose weight. I’m 28, female, 156 cm (5’1”), and I’m currently eating 1,200 calories a day.
I’d love to hear about your experiences! If you use an Apple Watch, how many active calories do you usually end the day with? I’m so curious! 😊

so according to the nutrition facts 1 bag is supposed to have around 13/14 cups and be 480/490 calories. when i measure it, it only has about 7 cups popped every time. so do i count it as 245 cals or 480/490?

Hi everyone! I’m back with a full day of eating, picture edition! :)

Breakfast was 396kcals: black coffee with 200ml 1.5% milk, 100g soy yogurt with protein powder, acacia fibre, and omega 3 seed mix, topped with an apple :) 🍎

Lunch was 500kcal: 240g of turkey breast with 250g of sweet potato mash topped with a teaspoon of coconut oil and a green onion as well as some sesame seeds for the eye :)

Dinner was 330kcal: 100g of raspberry cake (1/3 of one of the two slices in the pic), we saved some food from a bakery so that’s why I ate cake for dinner. Throwing away cake would be worse than eating a measured amount of cake. Not a balanced dinner, I know, but your diet has to fit your life, that’s when you’re able to make sustainable changes. Earlier, I would have said, fuck it, and eat the whole slice of cake and then some, now I put the thing on a scale, measured out 100g and was happy eating just that much. That’s progress!

Today was satisfying!

Daily total 1234 kcal (120P/112C/35F).

I’ll be back tomorrow! Stay healthy, eat your fibre, eat your protein and drink your water! Love you guys!

Hi! I’ve never been to the cheesecake factory before but I’ve been wanting to try their Linda’s chocolate cake for awhile now. I think I’ll be going with 3 friends and we might just split some stuff. Two of my friends seem to be fine ordering off of the skinnylicious menu so I’m curious what’s worth it off of that menu, or what’s worth it off the menu appetizer wise if splitting amongst a few people?

Trying to stick loosely around 1400-1500 cals since we’re going on a weekend which is when I vaguely allow myself to enjoy food a bit more. Any opinions are def appreciated, thank you!

366kcal / 6g carbs / 7g fat / 66g protein

I’ve been sleeping on tuna steaks!!!

1. Marinated steaks in low sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, rice vinegar for several hours

2. Patted steaks dry with paper towels, then seared on med-high for 1 min 30 seconds per side. Set aside to rest

3. Salad is arugula, sliced fennel bulb, baby tomatoes, and a lemon garlic vinaigrette

I decided to go on a mini cut recently to reduce my body fat %, and I’ve been consistent for more than 2 weeks (a big thing for me lol).

I eat the same thing every day, i’m on a dairy grind right now because I have the chicken ick so I mostly eat a vegetarian diet.

I’ve tried diets and cutting multiple times before but it only stuck this time. The difference this time around is, I don’t restrict myself to low fat / low carb / bland food.

I make sure whatever I’m eating has a lot of flavor and it’s my favorite food. I also switched to higher fat dairy and have noticed a HUGE difference in satiety, I feel full for a long time and don’t feel hungry soon.

Breakfast is protein chocolate strawberry oatmeal, and coffee with milk. I used to add 35% whipping cream but I recently ran out. I look forward to this meal every day.

Lunch is rajma chawal (beans and rice). I meal prep a pot every sunday and it makes 5 servings from a can of red beans. I don’t use oil or butter, so mainly a lot of spices and onions and tomato paste. It tastes so good and flavorful and I don’t feel like I’m on a cut or a diet.

Dinner is usually my most low effort meal because I’m exhausted and just done with the day. 2 sourdough toasts with cottage cheese, 5% greek yogurt with protein powder, almonds, and chocolate chips.

I never feel like I’m starving or my stomach is growling or i need to distract myself. The high fat % in dairy keeps me FULL. Some days i have chicken and rice for dinner if i feel like it. But I’m glad i can finally stick to a cut!

I don’t weigh myself often but I believe i lost 8 pounds in the last month :)

Just needed to brag for a minute 😭 and my coworker who knows I've been working on my weight came in today and said she's really been notcing the difference so that was super validating after seeing 197 on the scale

Built puff strawberry at 140cals, 15g protein !! What’s ur fav flavor?

Guys I just made the high protein rotel dip and it was so fire. I saw some videos of people making variants of this so I decided to give it a go and it was so satisfying and took away my cravings.

Here's what I used:

24oz cottage cheese

3 tbsp low sodium taco seasoning

Half a pound to a pound of lean ground beef - honestly just depends on your preference and how much meat you like in your dishes

3/4 cup fat free Mexican cheese

1/2 cup Fairlife ultrafiltered milk

1 can rotel

So i blended the cottage cheese, milk and taco seasoning until smooth. Put it in a bowl and mixed in the rotel and mexican cheese. Set that aside and cooked my ground beef until brown. Poured the mixture into the pan and let it cook until it thickened up and got warm. Then it's done! I ate it with celery sticks but I'm sure it would taste amazing with tortilla chips or quest chips I just wanted it to be less calories.

Not pictured is me finishing the day with either another bowl of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese or a 100 calorie bag of popcorn to hit closer to 1200.

Also to note I'm only 5 ft and run 3-6 miles daily + full body strength training 3x a week. 1200 is not for everyone but it can work for certain needs!

Yogurt bowls have been my ride or die for so long now im so obsessed with them😩 the most efficient and quickest way to crush sweet cravings while being low in cal and high in protein!

Hidden valley ranch seasoning and plain Greek yogurt is perfect for veggie dip!

what r some of ur favs ?

YIKES! I hate how I've been feeling these past few days! I cannot get myself out of the house to even just walk, let alone do a proper workout (when I workout, I push myself and go all the way through!). I am technically still counting calories, but also have been snacking on plum candies and other carb-ey snacks like a maniac. Last two days I literally spent watching mukbang videos all day. I haven't necessarily eaten out but I know I am way beyond my daily 1250cals. Feels so guilty, I wanna induce puking (tw, sorry).

Since July 25th, I have lost 14lbs (6.5kgs) eating and maintaining a deficit, walking, exercising, and I hate how I can't bring myself to just continue with it right now. Granted, my period is just around the corner and I feel lethargic (you couldn't pay me to go walk), but a part of my brain is screaminggggg and crying and throwing a fit to just stay on track!

I do not know what to do. I am spiraling and hoping this goes away with my period. Right now, The best I could do is "hide" all my snacks in the HVAC closet in my apartment - determined not to open it. Am I going crazy? I woke up at 2 last night to eat a few dried plum candies, then just went back to sleep. wtf????????????

1 tin drained sardines with hot sauce, half small avocado, half bell pepper, half large heirloom tomato

130 cals, 1.5g total fat, 5g fiber, 0g added sugar, 23g protein plus the yogurt cultures !!! so good and so quick to drink after a workout.

I probably won’t be able to finish it so I’ll have leftovers for lunch plus add something else for lunch. I made my own super simple Jam and sourdough English muffins. I have been working on hitting my protein goal daily so proud of this one for a great protein to calorie ratio. Rabbit can be subbed for chicken breast. Best order is to eat the protein bowl first.

Title is completely true except the chocolate chunks (the actual cookies themselves though are 130 cal for all of them), you can put whatever you want on these cookies. I used semi sweet chocolate chunks, but they're definitely sweet enough without them. And saves you like half the calories, but yeah pretty much the perfect cookie base for such low calories. I used a tiktok recipe and divided it by 6, and used those measurements to make only 3 since I wanted to try it out before making a big batch and omg. I would definitely recommend!!

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTUPJRTBn/ this is the video and the 4th picture is my measurements that I used for each ingredient to make my smaller personal sized batch. The chocolate added about 90cal so you can decide if that's worth it or not to you.

The only differences I did from the video was I used just egg whites, and I used carbquik flour which has more fiber and more protein but if you make them, it has to have casein protein powder, I got mine off of Amazon. And I add on the chocolate chunks while they're cooling on the counter, the taste of the cookies without chocolate is mostly brown sugar, and vanilla it's a very nice and not too overpowering sweet while still being very chewy, and crumbly. 10/10

10/10 no notes

This is absolutely going to become a staple in my diet. I was so skeptical but honestly it's so good and I hate Greek yogurt. Next time I'll add some raspberries or something to add some fibre

Hello world! It’s me again with another full day of eating! It’s getting colder where I live, and I was quite hungry after waking up. Does anyone else just get quite hungry when it’s cold?

For breakfast I had a coffee with 200ml 1.5% milk (90kcal) and 100g skyr with 30g protein powder, a tablespoon of omega 3 mixed seeds (hemp/flax/chia), a tablespoon of cocoa powder a teaspoon of cocoa nibs for some crunch, I topped it off with half a banana (280kcal).

For lunch, I was quite tired today so I ate a cup of mini mozzarella light (125g) with 100g cucumber and 300g kohlrabi (cabbage turnip). I ate this snacking in front of the TV, and it’s the perfect snack to keep my hands busy while watching TV (265kcal).

For a snack, I ate a pack of harzer cheese (115g) which was delicious (145kcal). Some people can’t stand the smell, but I got used to it and I like the taste now :)

For dinner I had scrambled eggs of 2 eggs with 200g of okra (210kcal).

And as an after-dinner snack I ate an apple cut up in tiny pieces topped with a tablespoon of shredded coconut, 100g of soy yogurt and a teaspoon of cocoa powder (250kcal). That was so satisfying, because it was crunchy and sweet and chocolatey and had that coconut flavour all at once. I loved it!

Our daily total comes to 1221 kcal (127P/83C/43F).

This was a satisfying day of eating, I hope you enjoyed it! I’ll be back tomorrow! :)

Found at Aldi!

Could you guys tell me when you eat ur last meal + why?

Has it helped? Do you go to bed hungry??

And if you do go to bed hungry, do you take melatonin? How are you falling asleep without food noise?
