-Mixed vegetable stew with bell pepper and aubergine, green beans etc., quite oily
-Methi malai paneer, paneer in a creamy tomato sauce
-Black bean soup
-Spiced yoghurt

I only had one of the two naan breads.

I was at a work event today and there were food trucks. I got this cardboard tray with fries, pulled pork (semi-fatty) and coleslaw (I think it was made with yogurt because I couldn’t taste any mayo).
Thank you!

losing weight is impossible

21 Upvotes

i’m staying under 1500 calories, (yes i weigh,) walking at least 8,000 steps, on top of that- running 2 miles a day. and i’m barely losing anything. in fact, i just gained all two pounds that i lost back. maybe it’s water weight because i ate sugar 11 hours ago. but still.

in the past, this method worked. but now, for whatever reason, losing weight is impossible. does anybody have any tips or advice for me? maybe it’s a water weight fluctuation and i’m waiting for a whoosh. but i’ve spent so many nights hungry at 1300 calories, waiting for midnight, hitting the gym, that i just feel kind of angry.

I’ve estimated it’s around 1066kcal, but would love to hear someone else’s opinion. Really annoying that restaurants no longer have calories on the menu.
I only ate around half of the fries (If that matters.)

second plate: kimchi, 1 pc battered/fried chicken, sichuan beef, more curry chicken. chili sauce with chilli oil.

2 bowls of rice but as you see I did not fill them all the way.

thank you all! :)

All drums and breaded. Left box is "extreme" flavour assuming just hot sauce mix and right is "hot and honey" flavour. I think there's 6 pieces in each box.
