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

Let me introduce you all to the many ways I’ve eaten eggs this past week

OMG are we all eating the same things? Today I had eggs (egg and cheese on a tortilla) for the first time in a long while. I thing the surreal egg prices of a few months ago turned me off of them.

a few "meals" the past few days.

- egg and cheese quesadilla with some buffalo wing chips

- chicken fingers made out of leftover fried chicken drumsticks (removed meat from bone, battered and deep fried) with some ketchup

- store bought sour dough baguette slices more leftover chicken (skin removed) tossed in mayo and seasonings and topped with raw asparagus. **calorie count in this pic depicts what i actually ATE vs the initial portion.

- prosciutto slices and extra old cheddar cheese.

I’d sign up for that newsletter.

I was briefly addicted to virgin mojitos and iced tea ?

the difference is definitely about the fat content (I blew it was 85/15 but I don’t generally worry about fat content)

Yea, I dont "count" fat either. But, it helps cut the calories so naturally I am just lower fat.. myself too.. its not soo bad. HAHA

I never try to cut the calories on homemade foods because when I cook it’s usually so bare bones (I even added olive oil to this recipe). However, I’m always completely shocked when I calorie check the foods after I eat them ?.

Tomato, Basil, Pesto, & Fresh Mozzarella Sandwiches!

460 for the entire sandwich, I ate 1/2 of one.

So yum.

All these diff ways to eat eggs!!
Looks good! -ish!!
Since my sleeve I can’t eat eggs. The very smell makes me ?
Only way I can eat eggs is fried or deviled.

Ha! And I I made an omelette last Thursday (& ate it for three days).

Egg prices are supposed to increase here to $15 a dozen soon (about $10US). They’re about half that at the moment. It’s just a crazy proposed increase. My omelette lunches may become a very rare occurrence soon.

That’s the one thing that blew me away when I lived in AU for a bit: the prices of grocery items were crazy! I remember going to a store and being floored at the $14 AU ($9 USD) price tag for 6 oz of blueberries !! ….when they cost $2.50 CAD ($1.80 USD) back home. Granted, that was 10+ years ago, but still. I thought we would go broke…or starve!!

AU prices are actually the reason why I quit smoking back then. Cigarettes where almost 4 times the price of what I paid in Toronto….hmmm maybe I should go back so I can quit again! Lol

P.S. The cost of a dozen eggs up here is about $5-6 CAD , ($3-4 USD) when not on sale right now…up about $1-2 CAD since pre-pandemic.

Ugh. Groceries have become so bloody expensive in Germany as well!

I mustn't look at what I paid for local strawberries and black cherries today. I simply mustn't look.

digging through the freezer for something to eat and found some chicken pot pies i made a while back and froze for future use.

2 mins in the microwave to defrost, then 10 mins in the toaster oven to crisp up the crust.

still as good as the first time, lol.

ate 1/2 for approx 322 calories.
