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

Vegan sandwich, yellow tomatoes and figs. A glass of red wine (Dornfelder) not pictured. Bad light. Daylight makes for better pictures.

Looks absolutely lush. Cauli rice to soak up all that lovely gravy?

That’s a good idea. I just usually eat it as is. Let us reduce so it gets pretty rich. Been thinking of adding some white beans next time to boost the protein & fibre.

Niece #4 had a sleepover last Friday. We went to see a performance of niece #1’s first choreographic work. Made her scrambled eggs & bacon for breakfast. I made some for my dinner on Saturday night without bacon after I took her back to the coast (was beautiful day). No pxt of mine just hers. First time I’ve been able to eat 2 eggs since surgery but I was starving. Hadn’t really eaten much of the day.

First meal of the day.

Bagel, eggs and strawberry jam. Ate it all: 280 calories *

(* Plus spices I didn’t log cuz i figure the calories are negligible: salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika and cayenne)

Oh no never ever would I put eggs and jam on the same plate. To me that's a plate of Halloween horrors lol

Haha..lucky then I didn’t take and post an “after” photo.

Those eggs where soft boiled…?

The rare time I eat leftovers that isn’t soup is usually on the same day I have that meal. So, leftover chicken taco casserole from lunch with brown sugar mustard carrots (yellow mustard, brown sugar, and smoked paprika mixed and then tossed with carrots before baking) from meal prepping today.

I also made a cheese tortellini bake for dinner but since I don’t usually eat pasta… it was definitely for the kids.

Sunday brunch. Black coffee not pictured.

ETA: husband ate one half of the mock egg salad sandwich and dog ate one of the carrots.

Yum. Ate it all!

Made Jamie Oliver’s ricotta fritters & rich tomato sauce yesterday. Of course I made some changes to the sauce like no chilli, added onion & celery & used button mushrooms instead of porcini. Shame is only about 10g of protein. But tasty. The fritters would be good for breakfast with a poached egg.

A chicken wrap at a burger chain: before and after (I did not eat the salad because there was enough salad on on the wrap)

Made a pot roast from part of that brisket I bought a couple weeks ago (Also broke it down into 5.5lbs of ground beef/ stew meat and a corned beef for next week.). I actually spit out the last piece of roast I was chewing because I felt full. It was also onions and potatoes.
