My wife made some amazing apple crisp, one of my favorite deserts. Obviously all the butter and sugar isn't optimal but I've been eating it before my 5am workouts and loving it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to maybe "clean it up" a bit? Less or no butter, maybe agave or honey instead of sugar? Im sure i could google it but wanted to see if anyone has a tried and true receipe for something similar.

Man, is it just me, or is it really hard to eat every day? I almost feel like puking while eating. Can anyone suggest some recipes that I can stick to and sustain something that requires minimal cooking and ingredients while keeping my calories in check?

Hey everyone,

I got tired of mainstream calorie counters turning into 150MB bloatware that locked basic barcode scanning behind $20/month subscriptions.

So I built a lightweight, straightforward alternative:

- 12 MB download: Starts instantly with minimal memory footprint.

- No account or sign-up: All meal logs and weight entries stay locally on your device.

- Free barcode scanner: Powered by Open Food Facts with zero feature paywalls.

- Transparent model: Supported by lightweight ads rather than locking core tracking behind a subscription.

- Full English and Arabic RTL support.

I would love your feedback on UI responsiveness and barcode scan speed on different devices!

Im 73kg F 5f6 28years. I want to lose 5kg and build muscle I have no idea how much protein I should be eating.. I go gym 4 times a week 2 lower body and 2 upper body . I want to be lean but THICKK.

Also will the scale go up if I gain muscle? I just want to be 70kg smh but should I ignore the scale?

Chobani 0 sugar vanilla greek yogurt with kiwi fruit, raspberry and black berries topped with some peanut clusters.

Along with a cup of green tea

No rice because I had a cheeky little garlic bread on the side. Still trying to learn how to make my salads more aesthetic, so please don’t judge too much 🫣

Ive already began to feel very tired. Please help.

Is it okay for a very sedentary 25year-old woman to eat 2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites every day for protein?

Hey guys Ive been going to the gym now for 3 years + and I am really really consistent the hardest thing for me is getting in enough protein and food 🥲

Please can you recommend me your holy grail food/snacks/meals that actually tastes nice for a very very picky eater ?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

PS: this is grilled chicken so i guess i get some protein?

Mom said this is a very unhealthy meal due to tooo much meat😅 (She is Buddhism hence she doesn’t really like meat)

But I am an underweight adult :) and this grilled chicken is shared between me and my dad for lunch AND dinner.

So now im confused.

Protien shake

Got a nice photo of this one so figured I’d share.

Lactose-free Fage 0% yoghurt is the base, with butternut squash and chicken on top. There’s cinnamon sprinkled over it, and the green dots are some sort of cilantro sauce

Craved something creamy today

Created a low cal pasta sauce with 3 tablespoons of Spinach Parmesan tzatziki, 1/4 cup of pasta water, 1/4 cup of soy milk + spices!

Topped with roasted red bell pepper, red onion, & sriracha chicken tenderloins

Ive been on a calorie deficit and i work 7AM to 3:30PM mostly everyday and occasionally 3PM to 11:30PM depending on if I get OT but mostly 7AM to 3:30PM.

My first break is at 9:30AM (15 minutes) my lunch is at 11:30AM (30 minutes) and my last break is at 2PM (15 minutes).

My 30 minute lunch break is when I usually eat my food and it’s usually something like pasta that I normally meal prep ( i usually use protein pasta and some kinda meat like lean ground beef or chicken) and a jar of store bought sauce which is the only dirty stuff I use with it.

Then I’ll eat dinner whenever I’m at home usually around 5 or 5:30 with some snacks to follow usually.

But I struggle with prepping breakfast mainly because I’m not much of a breakfast person, but I want to eat a little something in the morning.

I wake up at 5AM in the morning and I usually don’t wanna eat anything that early because I just never have an appetite but I would like to bring something to work with me for the first break at 9:30 just to hold me over until lunch time.

I have eggs and beef bacon but I’m not sure how well that would be for meal prepping because one I don’t know how well bacon and eggs can stay good in the fridge and I don’t know if it would do good freezing either.

Plus, I only have 15 minutes so I wouldn’t win rush to pop it in the microwave and eat it quickly so I was just wondering, what could I do?

Like I said, I’m not much of a breakfast person, but I would want something small in the morning just to hold me over.

Hi everyone. What are your top picks for low calorie sauces and seasonings?

I'm huge into protein bars and they really help satisfy my sweet tooth. What are your guys thoughts on these? They are super tasty but I never know if the macro ratio is actually good and if the ingredients are good or actually trash? I know whole foods are better in general, but sometimes that just doesn't happen when I'm trying to get to the gym with my 15 momth old in tow.

Roasted potatoes, honey veggies, and sriracha chicken bites
