I thought I would have had more by now, but I really didn't want to eat it as often. I think it is because it's no longer off limits to me.

It's what the "intuitive eating" and "normal eating" crowd is preaching for like decades now: make a food a forbidden food and you're going to binge on it/crave it like crazy. Make it an allowed-food you can have whenever you want to and it loses its lure.

I just noticed that your wasabi packets were untouched?! What is sushi/sashimi without wasabi?!?!

I'm weird about wasabi. I only like it with simple sushi like nigiri. In special rolls like this there is already a lot going on (the sauce on the side was eel sauce/chili oil combo) and I don't like the wasabi to compete/overpower the other flavors.

Date candy in the glass. Dopamine rush and drooling in anticipation of tomorrow's dessert and all, lol.

Looks interesting. How did you prepare this?

This has become one of my go-to easy meals -- sort of a Mexican chicken casserole (not pictured: fat-free plain Greek yogurt masquerading as sour cream):

I melted a bit of butter in a nonstick pan and then placed the wrap in, and then cheese on one half. Once the wrap was warm and pliable I folded it in half, heated both side so they were a bit crisp and the cheese was melty. I could have used cooking spray and more interesting/flavorful ingredients. But I'm not in my own kitchen, so limited resources.

Gave a mini review on the favorite products thread. It was fine?

It didn't taste like much of anything. If I would have been in my WL phase, I would have been excited to have a Protein item masquerading as a carb. In maintenance I'd probably opt for a real tortilla.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians out there! 🇨🇦 🦃

Our spread for this evening: Instant Pot turkey breast (then finished in the oven) w/ gravy; cranberry stuffing, mini smashed potatoes with sour cream, and buttered carrots.

My plate: Turkey w/ gravy, 3 potatoes w/ sour cream, carrots: 303 calories. Ate pretty much all of it except 1 potato and 1/2 the carrots (Mr. ate what little leftovers I had, so no after pic).

Turkey, fat free shredded cheddar, and spinach pocket. With 2 bell pepper rings and 2 pickle slices and mustard. I’ll post the full nutrition info.

This was the first after picture.

And then the second after.

Ive officially relinquished the leftovers to a couple kids who happily ate them.

I used to do that with some ready-made crepe-like pancakes. Since they were not sweet to begin with one could prepare them also in a savory kind of way. Didn't make that in ages for lack of a decent non-dairy cheese substitute.

Snacktime!

Pita chips (cut up a package of Lebanese style pitas, then air fried them), with assorted dips.

I ate 6 chips (equivalent to 1/4 of one pita plus approximately 1 tbsp each of three of the dips: 125 calories

I don’t normally eat bread products (except for cake!), but when I do, it’s almost always in some kind of cracker or chip form...
