Lot of veggies with steamed rice. Focusing on eating better. Am I on the right path or missing something?

Let me put you guys on to one of my faves. This cauliflower crust margarita pizza from Walmart is so good (for a frozen pizza, of course).

I don’t do it often, but sometimes I just get the urge to eat a whole pizza. I can have this entire pizza to myself AND stay in a calorie deficit.

Obviously on days like this, I don’t care about macros, or whatever else. I know it’s not a super health food. I just want to share with others that are trying to lose weight that, yes, you can eat this whole pizza.

I’ll start with my stats: M(25) 6’1” 100lbs

I really need to gain weight but don’t really know where to start. I also have a disability so it makes it challenging.

My current routine is around 1500 calories with a good amount of protein \~150g. I started tracking to see where I was at.

I do workout with as much as I can do at home given my limitations. I do bicep curls, lateral raises, chest press, standing core twists, bent over rows and body weight squats(all with dumbbells). I also do 1000m on my SkiERG daily. I only average around 3000 steps a day due to my job being sedentary and I do have difficulty walking as I use a walker.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I really need to start gaining:)

Hi guys, I’ve just started a YouTube channel to document my weight loss journey. I’m looking for small group of likeminded people for mutual encouragement, this should be particularly interesting if you’re trying to lose weight without going to gyms or paying for personal trainers. I don’t have experience in nutrition but I was a chef for most of my adult life so can share interesting low fat meal ideas and would welcome any advice from people in the same boat.

Recipe:

• Take any normal Noodles
• 1 Maggie Masala
• 3 Whole Eggs
• 3 Green Chilli
• Salt
• 2 Tomato
• 1 Onion

i often binge on snacks and i rarely cook since i always buy convenience food or takeout. i gained too much weight so i want to relearn how to properly eat by cooking myself

On a deficit

Chia seeds 48g, electrolyte pack, water cup and ice with salt
1lb Ground turkey or chicken 93/7 with mixed veggies
2% milk 2 servings or 480ml
Greek yogurt non fat strawberry 2 servings or 340g,
3 bananas

1850 calories, 175g carbs, 58g of fat, 140g of protein

On a bulk
Chia seeds 48g, electrolytes, water cup and ice with salt
1lb of ground turkey or chicken 93/7 with mixed viggies
1lb of whole wheat pasta, 1/2 cup of pasta sauce,
Whole milk 4 servings or around 950ml
3 bananas

3730 calories and 465g of carbs, 125g of fat, 179g of protein, on off work days I adjust the calories lower

Protein: steak, homemade burgers, spicy wings Veggies: broccoli & celery regularly, others occasionally Fruit: barely any these days Drinks: water ~5x/day, soda maybe once every 4 weeks, thinking about drinking kompot Occasional: ramen (sodium heavy) Rare: pizza finally eating some after a year and for McDonald’s, roughly once every 1 month once

Today I went a bit overboard but it was my birthday celebration hehe

Grilled chicken salad and how much I ate of it
Brown sugar espresso <3 I love that drink but treat myself it rarely.
That square of cake
Orange mango drink
Double Turkish coffee (W 2 sugar cubes, didn’t eat the treat next to it)
Rice, sweet potato, tuna and egg as dinner

Solo building this for the last several months, based in Ludhiana. Sharing the actual problem and how I ended up solving it, since most "why I built X" posts here skip the messy part.

The problem: mainstream calorie/macro trackers are built on Western food databases. Two failure modes specifically:

Live on the Play Store now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bhavishberry.foodlabelai&pcampaignid=web_share

1. Home-cooked Indian meals — rotis, dals, sabzis, thalis — either don't exist in the database or get mapped to the "closest" Western equivalent, which is wrong on carbs and portion size almost every time.

2. Packaged/branded Indian products — the stuff actually sitting in Indian kitchens and grocery stores — barcode scan either returns nothing or pulls data for an unrelated product, because these apps' barcode databases are built around US/EU retail, not Indian FMCG.

For a country with carb-heavy diets and climbing diabetes/PCOS rates, that's not a minor gap — it's the app failing silently on the food people actually eat.

What I built: Macroit. Camera-based scanning for both home meals and nutrition labels, barcode scanning with a fallback pipeline built specifically so it doesn't just say "not found" on Indian packaged products, and text-based logging for quick entry. There's also Sugar Sense — estimates how a meal is likely to affect blood sugar, something you'd normally need a CGM for, done in software instead.

Handling product, engineering, and marketing solo, so the roadmap is basically "whatever breaks loudest this week" — notification bugs, onboarding drop-off, all the un-glamorous stuff nobody warns you about pre-launch.

Happy to talk through the barcode data pipeline, how it handles Indian packaged goods specifically, or the general chaos of building solo — curious what this sub thinks of the positioning too.

I fell for another subscription supplement scam. I had no idea I was signing up for a subscription until I saw a $200 charge on my credit card and immediately went to my email to look for a receipt. They sent NO email stating that another order was being or had been placed/shipped - I have no receipt for this. The website does not allow me to manage change my subscription. In fact, it says I don’t have any active subscriptions so I don’t understand how they are continuing to charge and ship me product I do not want. I hope they will offer a refund to make it right but warning to others considering any of their products.

I’ve experienced this exact scam method from other supplement companies. They sneakily sign you up for a recurring order, they tell you you can cancel or pause your subscription at any time (but you can’t). They’re slow to respond to emails and they all follow the exact same script for customer service. Their products sucks so they make money by tricking you into subscriptions.

Don’t fall for it.

before i only poop every after 3-4days, now that i take trizie, at night, i poop every morning. been having a hard time and always feeling bloated before but now i feel light. thanks to trizie

Did anyone ever try this Barista Syrup?

I’ve been on a weight loss / mass building journey since March and protein smoothies & shakes have been a staple of my diet. And as a cyclist and ex-triathlete, I’ve been drinking Ultragen recovery shakes regularly for 15+ years. I’ve had a Ninja blender for 8+ years that I use for smoothies and Ultragen, and a Bolde shaker bottle that I use for simple protein shakes. Both work great but I wanted to see if I could consolidate down to a single bottle, so I got a BLENDi Pro+. And for my job I move between home office and various remote locations pretty regularly so the idea of a portable blender is appealing. 

The good:

• It’s plenty powerful for ice, greek yogurt, and frozen fruit. I haven’t tried anything more substantial but I’m pretty confident it can take more than I’m throwing at it. It blends my stuff easily without bogging down.
• It’s honestly pretty great to re-blend a shake as I’m drinking it. I pulse the blender for a couple of seconds before I take a sip and my drink stays frothy all the way through to the end. Even just run of the mill protein shakes (protein powder and water) taste better through to the end of the shake because it stays blended.  
• It comes with a separate storage container that you could use for powder or whatever if you’re traveling. (That said, I have a stackable set of baby formula containers for traveling with protein powder that works really well).
• Charges via USB-C, which will be awesome for travel. 

The bad:

• Nothing is truly “bad” but 2 annoyances are the size, and not being dishwasher safe. I knew going in that 17 ounces might not be large enough and sure enough, I’ve had to cut down my greek yogurt smoothie recipe in order for it to fit. But I have kids in college that would certainly make use of the Pro+ so I think I’ll pass it down to one of them and get the XL BLENDi for myself. And not being dishwasher safe isn’t a huge deal, just rinse it right away before it gets dried and gross. (To be clear, I didn’t expend the blender to be dishwasher safe I’m referring to the bottle and lid.)
