Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

Dinner last night and lunch today. Raw cauliflower, broccoli, red grapes, cheddar cheese, chicken, red onions + slivered almonds tossed in light dijon mustard vinaigrette. Best the next day after marinating... Serving dish for hubby and myself. Forgot to show my serving size probably 1 ½ cups, and the after dish. New to this thread. Soooo, I'll get with the program. LOL.

Quickyquick meal: Uncle Ben's microwave rice with a Japanese spice mix ("Furikake") on top and Alnatura's lentil burgers out of the oven. Couldn't eat it all. Rice is way too filling for me.

Food for work tomorrow. Pumpernickel bread with a vegan spread, cucumber, cashews, dried jackfruit, papaya and sour cherries, leftover rice.

I made it

That soup looks fantastic, I need to find a good recipe, feel free to share!

No picture of tonight’s dinner because I forgot to take a picture. We had burgers and oven fries.

*Heads up when ordering Instacart. They have to substitute a lot of items right now which is understandable. I ordered burger patties from Costco which were sold out and replaced with a different box of burger patties. I was planning dinner and plugging the numbers into MFP... lo and behold one patty is 330 calories! No bun, no cheese just the meat and It wasn’t even that big. I had half a burger, since 330 is a lot for me considering I’m maintaining on 1300 a day, plus I REALLY wanted oven fries!

It was a very good burger, fat=flavor is true with burgers.

Anyway, be ready for substitutions!

OMG! Not only is she beautiful - she can cook, too! This looks delish and I'm not even a fish girl - although I have heard Tilapia has less of a fishy taste and smell?

Ohhhhhh thanks ! I'm a fish person (only certain kinds-kosher) but I think tilapia is milder than other white fleshed fish and definitely less aromatic than other bright fleshed types.

(It's is not favorite because I do prefer fishy fish LOL but is a very soft entry into fish for someone wanting to try fish)

I haven't tried jackfruit yet, how does the flavor and texture compare to other meat alternatives?

Dried jackfruit is lightly sweet. So when dried it's not really meat substitute.

Oh I understand.

Have you tried pulled/shredded jackfruit (I think its a sub for pulled meat/BBQ)?

Didn't try it so far as a meat substitute. I recently got this from the grocery store but haven't tried it yet.

The Asian grocery store has canned jackfruit but I don't know if that is canned in sweet syrup or in brine. I have to take a look next time I shop there.
