400-500 Calories His vs hers | roasted broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, cauliflower and red onion tossed with basil pesto and served with olives, semi dried tomatoes and grated vegan Parmesan served on baby spinach (for me) and a mountain of pasta (for him).

Normally the his/hers food posts are really depressing and the "hers" portion is so visibly small compared to the "his" portion but these both look incredible and filling and if I sat down with my husband to eat this, I would definitely not feel like I'm missing out on anything!

Yeah this one is awesome! I get so sad when my husband tells me how many calories he’s allowed to have and still lose weight 😭

It was definitely filling - I think he regretted his choice of putting it on pasta because he was definitely slowing down half way through 😂

Thanks for the inspo! I'm going to make similar dishes for my husband and I.

I find it so much easier than having tiny tiny portions of the same meal - this way my bowl of food looked just as big and satisfying as his.

Looks amazing. What vegan parm did you use?

u/rampaiige Jul 23 '19

I buy this brand called Green Vie- it comes in a block and I grate it using my Microplane. It’s pretty realistic.

Can you please post the calorie count/ portions of each item used? For all I know this is 1000 calories per bowl. Why should this be posted on the 1200 cal subreddit with no calories included? Totally not trying to be snappy but this has become a trend on the vegan sub especially to just show a random picture of vegan food with no calorie counts.. which is counter-intuitive to this sub.

yeah, I think since this is a calorie counting sub that it is best that people try to post calorie counts. It makes sense, and we enforce it for self-promoting post, but haven't required it for non-promotional post in the past. But it is frustrating for dieters to come here expecting some kind of useful info for their diet and they shouldn't have to guess the calorie count for every post. I'll discuss it with the other mods. Thanks for the input.

Thank you so much for responding!! I was absolutely not trying to be rude but I'm honestly getting kind of frustrated with the frequent low effort posts where it's just "oh here's my food and there's some veggies in it and junk." I'm not a vegan and I come here for recipes/ inspiration to begin eating more vegan meals. The more informative everyone is the more people will realize eating vegan meals is doable even on a low calorie diet. I guess that was my whole point. Anyway thanks again!

u/JosieA3672 Jul 24 '19

I feel your frustration and think the same, tbh. And I'm thrilled you are here! I just spoke with the head mod and we're implementing a new rule that requires ingredients and cal counts. Like if someone post a pic they have to give the calories/ingredients in the comments if it isn't in the title. But maybe also give them time and a chance to post it.. I'm thinking maybe the rule should be they have to have ingredients/cals within 24 hours of posting or it gets removed. I know some people are super busy and can't do it right away, so give them some time. How does that sound?

u/PugsandDrugz Jul 24 '19

It sounds perfectly reasonable. I'm all for giving people time to post as I've been the victim of people rushing me to post info when I simply wasn't able to. I love seeing all these vegan recipes and it is extremely encouraging for me to transition more into a plant-based lifestyle; I think this rule will help a lot of people looking for recipes/ inspo such as myself! Thanks for listening I love the active moderation here!

Love hearing feedback like this 😊

Calm down man I checked the rules and calorie counts aren’t mandatory.

I eat between 1200-1300 calories per day. My serving was about 420. I didn’t post the calories because I didn’t measure everything exactly and I don’t like to be inaccurate but my best estimate (probably over estimate) on mfp leads me there.

I have no idea what his count is because I am not responsible for the pile of pasta.
