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

So seeing @Pandemonium’s scallops pic earlier activated a salt craving in me for some reason, so fixed myself one of my mini charcuterie plates again for a snack: old cheddar, prosciutto, salami, fig jam & frozen blueberries: 386 calories.

Ate about 2/3 of it all, but should’ve stopped at half...am unpleasantly full. Not sure if I will finish the rest later, I’m salted out for the day, I think.

Also, I think I had more fun building the little hor d’oeuvres bites and taking pictures of them to make this little collage, than actually eating it. Meh.

I always think of this now when someone posts a charcuterie board, it's so true ?

Forgot to post desserts from farm trip

peanut butter cup cookies, pumpkin spice and oatmeal raisin

I had one small bite of each, everything was far too sweet ?

Yummmmm.....i’d bake some cookies right now but I’m out of butter, eggs and sweetener. Soooo overdue on going grocery shopping

Im on a food posting spree today!

Made a lasagna (w/ regular pasta sheets) from the fam for dinner tonight, and saved some of the insides (the meat sauce & cheese/spinach mixture) for myself to serve over 1/2 a package if shiratake noodles.

Calories for my meal (had I eaten it): 272 calories.

Sat at the table with my bowl and just didn’t feel like eating it though. I’ll see if I want it later, but if not I can always eat it tomorrow.

Ended up having 1 glass of red wine (130 calories) while the fam finished the entire lasagna...must’ve been good! Lol.

Looks layer-y ? I see lots of effort in this, your family had the right idea to enjoy every last bite.

I've been so lazy during lasagna making (because I don't eat it) that I only ever give 3 layers tops but no one notices

I follow a guy on YouTube who finds healthy (he’s a bit picky) stuff at grocery stores and recommends what to get and why. His channel name is cringey (flavcity) but I’ve found some good stuff. Aldi (sorry @ms.sss ) has a new product. Green lentil lasagna noodles. I hate lasagna but it looked like a great choice!

This looks so much like real chicken! Is it seitan?

No, it's the soy based meat made by Rügenwalder I use quite often. Seitan I usually only use in very intense tasting tomato based stews.

Wasn’t planning on breakfast other than a protein shake but got strong armed into it. Went with a Portuguese style tofu scramble: 2 planks of tofu, spinach, tomato, jalapeño, and chorizo. Focused on the tofu, spinach and tomatoes with the occasional bite of chorizo.

Last nights dinner: Oven roasted pernil on top of salad

Weekend meal with the bf at my favorite Salvadorean restaurant. Ended up getting full faster than I thought. Remembered the after pic!

Later we ended up going to a Syrian cafe for baklava. Ate 2 pieces

Boring (but tasty) low carb Turkey wrap and chips

Pistachio Baclava?

Breakfast today: 2 egg spinach omelet. I have such a hard time telling myself that if I cant fit in the rest I shouldn't eat in 20 min.
