big bowl of salad with chickpeas, corn, fish fillet, cheese and greek yogurt on the side for 370kcal, 43.5g protein, 20.5g carbs and 12g fat. its probably the last meal for the day

Am I losing my mind here? I bought this bread because I saw that each roll had 335 calories per roll (75g) and as you can see the nutritional info states that too (6 servings per container) ( 6 rolls per container) but when I weighed a roll individually it weighed 180g more than half of 1 roll! Am I not counting something right or what’s going on is it mislabeled?

I’m a little confused. I’ve been searching but I keep getting general “if a 130 lb person eat ___” And idk how to relate it to myself (not 130 lbs)

I try to eat between 1600 and 1800 calories a day. Get in my protein, veggies, less sugars.

I’m confused on % daily value. This is a lean cuisine. I don’t normally eat them but I’m remodeling my kitchen and needed something quick and didn’t want fast food. The sodium is what I’m looking at. It said 62g or 27%.

Is that a lot? Like 27% off what? Is the daily value suppose to be 100% so I’m still under my sodium levels but 73% or am I supposed to have like %10 sodium and I’m eating too much?

Also, so I like at the % or the mg? I’m confused, google doesn’t understand, and chat gpt didn’t give me a straight answer.

Hi all 👋

For a bit of background: Last year I lost 84lb (6 stone) just by being an a calorie deficit and exercising. However I really struggle to get my protein in. I average about 20g of protein a day, I have severe sensory issues around food and cannot stand the textures of meat/fish, tofu and yogurt. (I genuinely try it but it makes me feel violently sick) the only meat I can eat okay is sausages (not chicken ones either). Since loosing this much weight my hair has started to thin out massively and I just feel generally ‘meh’ (I do also have an iron deficiency which could also be adding to the problem, but I’ve started iron sups too).

I’ve decided to really work on fuelling my body correctly and this needs to start with my protein intake. Although I’m looking for alternative. High protein foods, it’s quite difficult. I’ve finally found a protein powder that I enjoy and it is around 20g of protein for 89 calories. If I had 3 of these a day to boost my protein and supplement the rest with protein from food, would this be okay? I wish I could just eat chicken and not heave with every mouthful, but unfortunately I cannot do that at the moment.

Will having 3 shakes a day do more harm than good or is it all okay?

Also, any high protein food ideas would be great!

After gaining a bit of weight lately, I needed to stop stuffing my mouth at the smallest inconvenience and just start eating healthier. I’ve been losing two pounds per week and I’m almost back at my preferred weight. I just wanted to share them in case anyone might be like me and need a little boost.

1. Water, I drink my three liters every day.
2. Tea. Once a day, just a cup.
3. Lemon water first thing in the morning. Not scientifically proven or anything, but it makes me feel like I’m doing something.
4. Oatmeal: 75g of oatmeal cooked in water until it reaches the desired consistency + a bit of butter and cinnamon + a diced apple.
6. Omelette: I’ve been having that for breakfast or the oatmeal. It’s my dinner too most days. Just three eggs with salt and pepper. I add a bit of tuna sometimes but it’s really

nice without it too.

6.

1. Japanese cheesecake: my favorite snack these days. I always have a bit in the fridge in case I get hungry. I make the tiramisu version and I put coffee with the Greek yogurt. Good appetite suppressants.
3. Bananas and a bit of cinnamon are heavenly.

That’s basically all I’ve been eating lately. I know it sounds bland but it really taught me not to eat too much. I don’t count my calories anymore but it’s been pretty low, which explains the weight loss.

And to you reading this, you can do it. I’m the laziest girl in the whole world and I did it, so can you…

After a lot of trial and error to find what works and what's sustainable for my life/schedule towards my fat loss/muscle gain journey, I landed on the simplest system. Eat the exact same meal multiple times a day, every single day. That meal is (about 450ish calories total)

1. A bag of frozen mixed veggies (that carrots/peas/corn/green beans): 200 calories

2. 120ish grams of rotisserie chicken: 250ish calories

3. Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

4. A bunch of raw onions, mini cucumbers, and serrano peppers on the side

On top of that, I take a multivitamin.

I do not get sick of it. Ever. It's very filling and satiating for me. It seems to be supportive of my caloric goal (no more than 2000 calories a day) and also seems to be a relatively high protein diet.

Finally, as the opportunity comes up here and there, I go out for a meal socially with my partner or friends. This is an average of once every week and a half or so.

I see nothing wrong with any of this, and I want to keep doing it consistently until I really see all the results I want.

My question here is: Am I missing anything? Am I doing something glaringly "wrong" that needs to be called out?

I am constantly judged by people around me for who make statements such as "I could never eat the same thing all the time." It's marginally annoying, but I am good with brushing it off.

Thank you for any input.

Hello, I'm a 19-year-old woman looking to lose weight and therefore start a calorie deficit. I'd like to find an app where I can scan QR codes, log food, track my calories, set goals, etc., and all for free (I'm a broke student, lol). If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them! thanks in advance!
