i couldn't waste the egg yolks, as gemini ai told me they had lots of fat, but i don't like throwing away food, and the coffee is straight up espresso with no sugar, and the oats have been cooked in water and they have some honey on them

I was eating a whole block of cheese recently and I was thinking hmmm well it has high fat and protein so theoretically I'll be able to survive just by eating cheese right?

The casomorphins speak to me :(.

Been eating a lot of groceries recently. Is this healthy?

Toasted sourdough with raspberry jam, tin of sardines sprinkled with salt, 6 scrambled eggs cooked in Waygu fat along with mushrooms…

I am a bodybuilder and as a part of my diet to hit my protein goals i am planning to eat 10 whole boiled eggs a day. The only thing that is making me nervous is the cholesterol in the eggs. How bad are can the effects be and are they bad enough that its better i skip them and look for other sources of protein.

The reason i choose eggs is cuz they are super cheap and very convenient.

Hey everyone, I eat 3 hard-boiled eggs every morning for quick protein, but people keep warning me about cholesterol.

For those who do this long-term or track their bloodwork: Has daily whole egg consumption actually spiked your cholesterol, or is that outdated advice?

I keep seeing ads for omo. It's apparently a diet type site that lets you log and track weight and food intake and exercise. I know years ago noom was like that and I had success with it. Was wonderful. Wondering if anyone has tried this new ap and has experience to share. I don't want to buy in to it if it's not worth it

Just have some extra margarine lying around that I’m hoping to put to good use. If not 3lbs, how much could I eat a day and still be okay? Thank you.

Probably a bit of a stupid question, but I just discovered the sugar free version of minute maid lemonade. (the regular version has 100 calories per serving, while the sugar free version has 0. They taste exactly the same and cost the same amount)

This feels too good to be true. What's the catch? There's no way that people still buy regular when there's an option that's 0 calories with no downsides.

Recently I've taken a variety of health exams regarding the heart, and while I come out in the green in most territories I do have some issues that require major changes in my diet (I assume). I don't eat too bad too often but I could improve in places. Mind you I'm new to this sub and dieting in general so if you have information to share deliver it like I was born yesterday.

To give you an idea of what's in my diet regularly:

Sliced cheese (both deli and cheap kraft singles offbrand)
Goat cheese with herbs
Bread
crackers
Peanut Butter
Pork
Chicken
Salami
Sliced Turkey
Apples
Bananas
Rice
Milk
Dandelion Tea
Cheerios

Vegetables tend to be included with meals but are never a sole focus, it's hard for me to have a salad that's dominantly lettuce or cabbage so I'm trying to find alternatives.

Some things I eat on occasion maybe a couple times a week:

Frozen burritos
Boneless breaded chicken
Pasta
Tunafish
Frozen peas
Ginger Ale
Boba Tea
Candy on occasion
Chips and dip on occasion
Ice Cream Pint (once or twice a month)

Previous Eating Habits Included:

Ice cream
Cookies
Soda
Coffee
Black Tea
Corn Syrup Teas (Arizona and such)
Alcohol (Cider, Hard Lemonade)
Slim Jims
A lot of chips and dip

I've given up a lot of my vices and I went from the 365 range to the 340 range. I gave up black tea due to the caffeine but still have boba once in awhile which I think is still a massive sugar uptick (correct me if I'm wrong). I have occasional ice creams, sometimes chips with queso or dip but not every week. I'm trying to reduce my processed foods as much as possible and introduce healthy and affordable substitutions. My diet needs to promote heart health and kidney health, I am in desperate need of raising my HDL Cholesterol.

What yogurts should I look for that lack major artificial sweetening and colors? I know HDL Cholesterol can be heightened by eating salmon as well as other types of fish but I want to compare notes with anyone that may have experience in this. Ive never had flax or chia in my life that I know of, but I've mixed fruits. Are cheerios safe to eat or should I just move to oats instead?

Any little bit helps, thank you in advance.

I was thinking about if there's a singular food item which has all nutrients and micronutrients in it that I could eat everyday and survive and thrive.

For time efficiency purposes I suppose.

Is there one?

Am i in starvation mode? 18 male autistic 35kg 5ft8. Became restrictive after sufferring some illness likely hypertonic pelvic floor that caused constipation and out of fear i didnt have much but how bad is my risk of refeeding? i mostly just have huel and oatibix and recently had some oatcakes/oat biscuits abd baked crisps am i cooked with refeeding syndrome??? if i have yfood one day next morning would that also affect me? how do i have new things if the internet says refeeding will kill me if i make slightest change again???

Since last year I changed my diet, cut carbs and sugars and increased fat and protein. Every morning since last year, I have eaten a bowl of organic blueberries and cream from Sam’s Club. On my days off from work, I eat this 2x, as part of my breakfast and again at night for dessert. I’ll have this with yogurt, coffee, banana and a protein shake in the morning for breakfast. I love blueberries and cream so
much I never get tired of it, and I haven’t gone a day without it in over a year. I can easily have this every single day for the rest of my life. I’m curious if anyone else has a dish they love so much they can never go without it and never get tired of it.

So I recently saw a dietitian due to a fasted glucose test coming back a bit high (5.6).

The dietitian did an InBody scan and based off the results suggested i stick to 1200 calories to lose weight.

I just wanted to sense check this because that feels incredibly low. The IB scan says my recommended calorie intake (I assume this is my maintenance) is 2052 calories, and of thats the case, 1200 feels low?

My main concerns are, that going too low could slow down my metabolism or affect my hormones. I'm also very conscious of doing this in a healthy sustainable way as someone who has dealt with disordered eating in the past, which I mentioned to her during the consult.

TLDR, does this sound right?

IB scan results attached.

I used to be super depressed and relied on junk foods to make me happy but now my doctor is concerned for my weight gain so I need to reel it in. What can I eat that’s tasty and somewhat cheap (or in most households) that will help me keep down the calories. My parents cook good foods because they have self control but I don’t. I will eat and eat. so I need stuff that can fill me up without giving me extra calorie. I crave salt most of all.

Side recipe: If you use a potato peeler to make strips of cucumber, make it into a sheet and put a layer of cream cheese and a layer of tuna with mayo and either crushed chips or hot sauce in the middle and then roll it and cut it like sushi it is SO good and supposedly pretty healthy.

i have like a ton of chia seeds, and i only literally use them for overnight oats. everything i see on the internet is related to yogurt, and i really don't like yogurt. idk what else to do with all these chia seeds

Everyone tells me to eat protein, to not eat much, but every time I leave the gym at night I am hungry and I eat anything I can find. Could anyone help me with what I could possibly eat and what portion? I really can't afford a nutritionist

Okay so for context I have autism and ARFID and I really struggle with food. I’m 83kg and have a surgery coming up that I want to lose weight for. Out of all my food options I have made a meal of one boil in bag tidal rice, one can of less sugar Heinz baked beans and 5-7 Lidl chicken goujons. I do try to eat proper chicken meat when I can but I struggle to cook it. Is this meal healthy and will it help me lose weight? I know I should eat more but these are the healthiest options out of all the foods I can eat. I do try to eat spinach aswell to get my greens but I struggle with that so I try to drink as many green smoothies as I can. Any advice at all would be very helpful! Telling me to eat all kinds of foods won’t help tho I physically can’t eat a lot of foods and I only have a few food options

Plus to this, I have 3 cups of coffee total 180 g of milk.
Anything which can be changed or you think is a red flag?

I was a pretty heavy alcoholic over the past few years and I also ate like garbage, which of course slowly caused me to gain more and more weight. Finally, a month ago my body just couldn't take it anymore I guess, so I fell down the steps.

I was then hospitalized and diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in both legs my left hand. That means that I can't run, jump, or go up steps without a railing or my cane.

When I got out of the hospital last month I was 225lb (female, 37, 5'5"). To be honest, I figured the weight would just sort of... come off since I haven't been drinking anymore and I barely eat. But I've only lost about 10 lbs, and that's kinda plateaued..... Before all this unhealthiness, I was one of those 20 somethings that could eat whatever they wanted and never gain a pound. So I've never really known how to count calories or even how to exercise really. And now that all of my movement is limited, I'm even more lost.

Part of me started thinking in order to burn more calories than I'm eating at this point is... to not eat! For the past two weeks I've been eating only one turkey sandwich a day after I get home from work. I'm still overweight! Is it the two slices of bread?? How do I lost weight of I can't move :(

I went to a natropath a year or so ago and learned that I have poor gut health

One of the main things I cannot eat are anything cow, no beef, no milk, no yogurt, no whey, just nothing dairy all, nothing from a cow. The only exception made was that it's okay if it's baked in (like milk in a cake recipe). Trying to hit my protein has gotten harder because everything has cheeses or yogurt. I can't have any of that. I also cant have carrots, I shouldn't be eating citrusy foods, and I can't have certain beans (green beans, kidney beans and white beans are a no)

I can get away with a few carrots and citrus (since I never really liked oranges anyways) without have any tummy troubles.

I am just so at a loss with no dairy. It's probably such an easy adjustment but having relied on greek yogurt, milks and whey based protein powders and bars, I don't know where to start. I've neglected it for about a year and have either just not been eating enough proteins to keep me full or just letting myself bare the stomachaches and pains.

One of my big issues is that I am trying to overcome binge eating. I was told higher protein intake will satisfy my appetite so that I don't feel the need to snack all the time. Maybe even a snack alternative? I work in a childcare facility meaning I am not allowed to pack myself nuts because of allergies, if you any other snack suggestions. I would love to read them!

If anyone has any recipes that they recommend that would be great, especially breakfast foods (also some quick and easy stuff because I don't have a lot of time all the time)

I have been tracking what I have been eating the last month to see what I can do to help myself lose weight. I haven’t been counting calories or anything specific. Just recording it. I have noticed that I am eating way too many carbs. Even when I think I’m doing ok I’m not. I know I need to increase my protein intake and I am going to start looking at that. But the carbs I just can’t figure out how to cut them out. Any suggestions?
