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

First time posting meals but I did read through almost the first 100 pages of the thread. Let me just say, there was a lot of salad and yogurt... and I plan to continue that trend. ?

Don’t worry ANY food posts are great food posts, lol.

Welcome to the thread (aka the “food porn” thread ??)!

Edited September 18, 20205 yr by ms.sss

Was in the area of my favourite Italian bakery, so of course I needed to load up on goodies and spend some quality time staring at all the goodness and smelling the place.

Assorted amaretti cookies, pistachio cannoli and mini traditional ricotta cannoli: 67644566 gazillion calories, am not even going to bother trying to figure out the nutritional info.

I haven’t any yet, but at dinner later, I figure I’ll have 1-2 of the teeny almond topped cookies (my absolute faves) and a bite of someone’s pistachio cannoli and mark it down as 500 cals...that seems fair, no?

Bring on the sugar coma! (It’s Friday, so eff it).

This is actually the after picture. Was really craving battered fish for like a week. Ate 1/4 of the fish, a battered shrimp, 1/2 a hush puppy, a popcorn shrimp, and a French fry.

I need a smoothie after all that grease. ?

How do u eat that. I’m having a hard time eating 2 egg, lol

3.5oz piece of halibut that I was lazy with and just used Old Bay to season with a shake of Everything Bagel seasoning to get some crunchy garlic in the mix. Made an ounce (dry weight) of edamame spaghetti and tossed it with Taste Cilantro Lime Ranch...and more Everything Bagel seasoning. I slightly overcooked the fish sadly (not used to baking such small portion sizes) but it didn't get too too dry.

Of course, I finished it and was quite happy and then saw the news about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and now I'm heartbroken and sick to my stomach. Considering my day started with being told I had to get a COVID test by my employer and can't return to the office until I get the results and ended with this awful news, I think I'm done with Friday. At least my dinner was successful!

RBG is a hero. A very sad day indeed. Glad your dinner was good! ?

All the food I had today. No leftovers. Trying to up my calories since I’m in a stall. I’ve been eating around 600-700 a day and my nut says it’s not enough. With my last stall she recommended I up my cals and add more carbs and to my surprise she was right. The idea of eating more just scares the crap out of me.

Breakfast: Avo toast and an egg on the go. The bf and I had to be somewhere so he was driving while I was getting yolk all over my face.

Lunch: 1 Oatmeal banana pancake with microwaved frozen berries and a sprinkle of cacao nibs, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. Also had 1 yellow peach and some cut up fruit.

Dinner: Salad with chicken breast (romaine, spring mix, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes)

Snack: I saved the banana in the pancake photo and decided to eat it with a tablespoon of pb2

Drinks: Iced matcha latte w/ almond milk

I can’t eat eggs now. They make me so sick since my VSG to RNY at the beginning of August. The fried food was definitely a mistake though.

Rosh Hashanah meal (Yom Teruah)

Whole wheat challah (rustic), kale & mushroom lasagna (BF's), Jacob's stew (pink bean style - mine) mashed potatoes, oven crisped tilapia & spring mix

Not featured failed attempt at peach cobbler ?

Breakfast: Kale + stew + challah (eggless ?)

Looks amazing

lunch today, 2.5 oz of chicken salad with diced red onion, sweet mini peppers, pickles. 10g of roasted/salted pistachios tossed on top

If I may ask, how do you make the oven crisped tilapia? Everything looks so good!

Season fish to taste then lightly dust with flour (optional)

Place on a nonstick/oiled/parchment papered cookie sheet then bake at 350° - 375° until crispy, So very easy !

Wasa crisps with jarred marinara, sautéed onions, green peppers, cherry tomatoes, and garlic, and then topped with cheese before air frying for 3-4 minutes. My leftovers were claimed by a kiddo.
