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

Oh you lucky Americans and your variety of access to cool foods.

You can order these wraps via Instacart:

https://www.instacart.com/landing?product_id=77565&zipcode_guess=01002

Or Walmart online or Amazon.....

Omg thank you thank you thank you! So I’m not able to order via Walmart or Amazon, it’s showing out of stock and not sure if it will be back but when I clicked your instacart link and entered my zip code it showed that one of my local grocery stores, Price Rite sells it. I’m going this weekend!

This morning's bake: Cream Cheese-Filled banana Walnut Bread

First pic just out of the oven, then cut into for serving, then my portion from a few hours ago: 40g (about 1/4 cup in volume): 120 calories

Ate it all.

Pretty yum, as evidenced by the fact that the entire loaf was gone by the time I came back from grocery shopping. LOL.

Wow! I’ve never even heard of a cream cheese walnut banana bread.... it looks soooo good! ??? can you share the recipe please ??

Been craving rice so I decided to try something different and made cilantro lime “rice” with the Trader Joe’s chickpea and lentil risoni. Tasted great!

BFF just asked me for the recipe a couple days ago after I dropped off a slice so I made this up for her...which you can benefit from now too...lol:

P.S. You could probably sub the regular sugar with baking-appropriate sweetener and skip the walnuts to lower the calorie count. I've made this a few times already and once I doubled the amount of the cream cheese filling...I thought it made it too sweet, but the fam loved it...

P.P.S. Whats the protein on that rice dish?

Thank you! Can’t wait to try it ?

and it’s chicken breast in the air fryer

Don't judge me.

I made Congee for the fam tonite (which I don't eat cuz...rice) and was too lazy to make myself something so ended up zapping a bag of microwave popcorn for dinner. Funny how I spend a disproportionate amount of time making food for others vs. myself.

2.5 cups popped with 1/2 tsp of butter: 96 calories. Ate it all.

Diner last night. No afters.
Grilled pork chop (hub grilled)
Green beans a little bbq sauce.
I know it’s pretty much the same as the other day but I eat a lot of the same foods. Veggie which is usually green beans or broccoli

Same. I'll eat the same thing for like a week, or until it goes bad, whichever comes first.

Salami pickle wraps. I must have been having a salty craving!

Yum! We started having movie nights once COVId started. We pop our own popcorn too!
Having one this weekend! I use the movie theatre pop secret. Pretty sure it’s loaded w fat. But I consider it a treat when I do not a regular thing bc it is fatty. Yours looks very healthy!!

Do t think I’ve ever had anything like this but it looks good!!!
I’d try it!!

Feel like I haven't had a salad in AGES (in reality its probably been about 2-3 days, but that's an eternity for me).

Sooo....today's first meal of the day: A Salad!

Romaine, carrots, cucumber, apples, cheddar, a snack can of Thai Chili Tuna, green onions sauteed in soy sauce, + vinaigrette and spices: 218 calories.

The Kid ate out of the same bowl with me, and its all gone, but I figure I ate about 1/3 of it. Going to log it as 1/2 in MFP though (I like to overestimate when I'm not sure ?).

Chicken breast + lots of hot sauce with maduros aka yellow plaintains. Chicken and plaintains were both made in the air fryer.
