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

Good for digestion as well, lol.

todays lunch consisted of 1 day old pasta and 4 day old jerk pork (446 calories for the bowl, including a coffee martini beforehand, not shown)

Mr. said i shouldn't eat the pork cuz it was way too old. i was like, whatever, its delicious, and ate some if it anyway....granted it was a little dried out, but still yum.

...thoughts????

I usually do leftovers for about 3 days depending on what it is. I usually grow tired of it by day 2 or hubby eats it before I get to it. Though, he's pretty good at leaving me some.

Sorry, Nope on the four day old food. I agree w your hub.
Getting sick from bad food would be horrible. ??????

@ms.sss looks really good though!!m

Mex inspired chicken soup. It was surprisingly good because it had cubed chicken breast so it was way to focus on the protein. I only ate about half.

I think it depends on what it is. There are some things that I’ll prep and keep for a week (lettuces for salad) and others that I pray don’t make leftovers (I’m looking at you fried foods!)

For what it’s worth, the USDA says cooked pork is good for 3-4 days in the fridge. ?‍♀️

This salad was eaten for 2 meals and good thing too because it was huge. And yes, I eat my burgers medium rare. I’m not even sorry about it!

5 days is my cut off point for most. For sashimi and sushi (unless cooked) 24 hrs. If I have a lot of vinegar or lemon juice in the dish, maybe a day or two longer.

I do three days too. Four if you count the day it’s made & that’s for everything all meats, soups, vegetables, eggs. As long as it’s kept refrigerated you’ll be fine. Only thing I eat in two days is salad - gets too watery & loses it’s texture. I usually get 3 or 4 meals out of everything I cook. Saves me cooking everyday & I don’t have family to eat the leftovers. And as you know I regularly freeze one or two serves so I’m not eating the same meal 3 or 4 times in a row.

Can always do the sniff test & a tentative taste test to see if it’s still okay. We’re big into sniffing in our family - I even sniff milk I’ve just opened. My aunt does the same.

I'll do 4 days with meat, especially a dry texture like pork. Seafood I'll have 2 days of leftover with. Anything soupy or saucey, I'll boil or cook on high heat after a couple of days.

Prior to surgery up to a week depending on what it was. After surgery I will do 3-4 days depending on what it is, some meats tend to get drier, and if that's the case I will add some broth. Today I'm having carnitas which I made on Friday, and just adding some broth when reheating, heck I may have some left over for tomorrow ?‍♀️

speaking of leftovers...

Mr. brought home a doggy bag of a souvlaki meal for me, but i really only wanted the pita.

so i cut up what he brought home, sprinkled some olive oil and spices on it and air-fried it to crunchy. ate it with some homemade tzatziki (greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper)

ate it all.

p.s. i logged it as naan on MFP cuz it was alot thicker than a standard pita!

101 calories for it all.

First meal of the day at 6pm because I was/am too busy moving around my living room. First picture is the nutrition info with the grams is adjustable by weight but seeing as I didn’t weigh it I just left the original weight listed. The second is about half of what the original size was.

No cucumber in your tzatziki?
