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

Green Mountain filets on a Mon Village Brötchen chili cheeze style.

Marzipanschleife because I couldn't resist. Hadn't one of these in maybe over two years or so. They don't have them everyday, are often sold out already and in summer they don't sell them at all for whatever reason. Today I saw this one with a truckload of chocolate on it.

I buy these kind of goodies not that often - prices have become ridiculous for baked goods in Germany and I'm simply not willing to pay this kind of money. Whole wheat and/or organic breads and rolls were always kind of expensive and the prices have only gone up slightly compared to the non-organic baked goods but things like cakes and pastries have become ridiculously expensive so this feels like a special treat. They're rather big though.

Incidentally we are fighting unreasonable egg prices in my area. I’d rather not eat/use eggs anymore.
The Marzipanschleife looks really good? Is that dark chocolate?

brunch:

crackers and avocado (with salt, pepper & splash of lemon juice): 421 cals for bowl.

Didn't feel like eating the rest later (oxidized avocado is just unappealing!) so tossed in trash.

That's dark chocolate, yes. Or I guess it's something we call "Kuvertüre", baking chocolate.

Not sure about egg prices as I don't buy eggs. Many people complain about butter having become very expensive. Also cheese.

OMG this looks ah-may-zing ???

Mini tasting menu Japanese lunch.

I had a taste (about a teaspoons worth) of everything, except the Chawanmushi (which i ate in its entirety) plus a miso soup with clams that i didn't take a pic of.

For perspective, each bowl is about the size of a tennis ball.

Est 355 calories for what i ate...mr. ate the rest.

Clockwise from top: spicy salmon sashimi & avocado on sushi rice; braised beef tongue and tamago (japanese style rolled omelette); Chawanmushi (savory steamed egg custard with shrimp and mushrooms), squid, Ikura (salmon roe) and a quail egg on sushi rice); seaweed salad in the middle.

Yesterday’s dinner ?

OK so you win dinner.

...then an afternoon snack and some Netflix.

sweet and salty Kettle corn popcorn & some bbq chips.

435 calories for the bowl.

split it with mr, and i ate about half (probably less, but i'll round up)

So my better half wanted taco bell last night so I did my usual. I got a side of black beans 50 cal then added red onions and fat free sour cream 20 cal), put hot sauce in it and ate it as lettuce wraps. Less than 100 cal.

I didn’t even know you could order just a side of beans!

I thought the tamago was cornbread! And I ❤️ seaweed salad.

Burger and fries for dinner. Ate mine with mushrooms, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, stone ground mustard, Mayo, spinach and tomatoes. The seasoned fries were meh so I’m glad I only ate a few. Calories are including a full serving of fries though. And then one of my full days calories.

Also breakfast was an Atkins chai protein shake and some buffalo flavored combos.

Honestly this looks better than the cake in retrospect.

ok. was still a little peckish after the carrots so ventured into the fridge and got some ham and cheese.

124 calories...ate all the cheese and one piece of ham (turns out i wasn't that peckish after all)

Bonus: a shot of a hungry kitty cat in the bottom left corner! ❤️
