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

I'm coming over for lunch! We freeze and use our leftover pancakes made with banana, oatmeal and cottage cheese batter into quick, little sandwiches. This was lunch yesterday - egg salad with that hint of banana. Yum.

Great idea! I need to try this! Yum ?

Went out for lunch today and ordered the steak tip salad. Here’s my before and after. I barely touched it at the restaurant because I ended up eating one of my bfs potato skins and I got full quick ? I ended up finishing the salad at home, it was my only meal for the day. Plus a pineapple matcha latte with almond milk!

If a more narrowly focused thread is of interest to you, they exist or you can create a new one.

Of course, my sincere apologies! I should have read the first post and the intent of this thread.

Ahhh ... miss you too @Sophie7713!

Isn't quarantine life odd? I went from constant work travel to constant stay at home-ness. I miss my old life, but it has given an opportunity to deepen relationships that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. My bf and I are half way moved in together, but still have our own closet space ?.

I'm also seeing close family much more frequently. During the first weeks of lockdown I started doing meal preps for some of them, because groceries were hard to come by. I've continued it because I enjoy it, and it helps out financially and/or they just like my cooking better than their own ?

Typical of my twice weekly preps:

But it's probably not a coincidence they've all recently gone on some kind of diet. My baking was probably to blame. Maybe my roll phase in particular, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, salami rolls, coconut rolls ?

I have a solution

I was thinking vaccine! But you make a good point... LOL! Here's the seasoning version I found yesterday at Whole Foods market. Looking forward to trying it on a salad or veggies, but a little concerned that salt was listed as the 2nd ingredient. :[ Pickled beets and egg for breakfast.

Is that first column after description the number of carb grams?

Kung Pao Tofu, Plain Fried Tofu & Kung Pao Chicken. Garlic Fried Rice w/ Peas on the side.

I ate 6 Kung Pao Tofu pieces + 6 Plain Fried Tofu pieces: 241 calories

I also ate 1/3 cup deluxe mixed nuts (not shown): 225 calories.

Edited to add: Oh, and I had a couple bites off the top of Mr.’s Fudge Drumstick Ice Cream Cone (approx 1/4 of whole thing): 75 calories.

Yes, it’s net carbs. Pretty high as well but it is oatmeal. This has been my go to on days where I am skipping meals. My nutritionist and I are working on my carbphobia ? Hence this meal and the recent avocado toast I posted.

Not sure if it’s the carbs or what but I was in a longgggg stall and it finally broke.

I’m in a food rut so I just ordered a bunch of spices from Penzeys. I specifically logged on to order Curry, however to get free shipping I had to spend $39. After I checked out, I realized I bought everything but curry!

Yay @sillykitty is back! I don’t post much but I check in and read at least every other day.

Once I get my spices hopefully I’ll gave some interesting food to post!

@ms.sss I want a drumstick now!
