Breakfast - The Shake:
Lunch:
Afternoon Snack - Overnight Oats:
Dinner: Similar to Lunch
Try that for a week see how you feel (:
Woah! As my friend Bill would say, “You’ll live forever eating like that Darlin”
someone lifts
I think I’d get tired of that diet real quick
How would you spice it up? I swap the black beans with garbanzo beans. And instead of chicken breast K l often do salmon/trout.
I had a sandwich today.
It was good.
@MadgePickles I’ve been nursing a 32 oz insulated mug of coffee everyday for a while.
chanting one of us
some Red Baron pepperoni pizza slices for dinner 🍕
I’m trying to improve my diet but oh man I love those.
Yummy!
Yesterday, I had half a box of cheez-it duos (sharp cheddar and parmesan) at about 2pm…after getting up about 8am and going for a run at 11am. Didn’t eat again until I got home from picking up my wife at the airport at 10:30pm. I ate about 3 servings of tater tots. Didn’t eat again until 6pm today. Fucking hell that’s not great.
Breakfast was two slices of raisin toast
Lunch was 30-40 sping rolls, legit too many to count
Dinner was some Mexican chickpea bowl thing
I think I fucked up with a few too many sping rolls??
I have questions;
if so,
if so,
Asian mom/grandmother can satisfy all three bullet points.
Right? Give me this magical spring roll fountain
I almost don’t want to say it because of those godforsaken “old site” ads but; since I’m so shit at eating well I just said fuck it and started buying those meal replacement shakes. You know the ones. I will say that I’m definitely less stressed out about food/cooking now, and I have more cash to fuck around with, but the shakes also make me feel like I’m living in a dystopia, lol.
I tried Soylent and while they aren’t completely awful like others I’ve tried, they still have the problem of not making me feel full, so I’ll drink one and then still end up eating something. Usually junk.
This is fair, I keep rasin bran crunch and fake healthy snacks like sun chips around. I do free the junk food beast on weekends though.
I have been wanting to do this but I also think my body will just think I haven’t eaten because I haven’t chewed anything, you know what I mean?
I totally get it, but trust me when I say: that s*** is filling. You know how we forget to eat right? So I started using that (and the appetite suppressant effects of Adderall) to my advantage with intermittent fasting. I’ll drink a shake at noon and won’t be hungry until 3 at the earliest or 5 at the latest.
Sadly my stimulation seeking has never given me that issue, even Adderall doesn’t really diminish my hunger. I think most of my “hunger” is just my stomach wanting a stim
Have you ever tried some sort of stimmy food like pepitas? They’re kinda a pain to eat if you’re not used to it. I can do one at a time and don’t have the best success rate of even getting the seed out 😂.
Pumpkin seeds are sensory hell for me sadly. I usually get by with many beverages - first coffee, 2nd decaf coffee midmorning, decaf diet coke in the afternoon, maybe a lemonade seltzer later. Baby carrots are a good munch for me, cherries. Apple and peanut butter.
Yep, I’m the same way. An IT person in my life got way into Soylent. I tried it for a while and ended up just eating double because if I don’t have solid food I don’t feel like I ate.
A meal replacement drink, ~several hours of hyperfocus~ like 10 handfuls of peanuts??? ~more hours of focus~ a chicken breast, some roasted veggies, baked potato (pleased about this, but it was provided for me) i am very good at being functional and taking care of my body
This is like my meal plan that I never achieve
I cannot for the life of me remember,
Breakfast: lost to time.
Lunch: a morsel of raw squirrel meat.
Supper: 12 frozen hotdogs with mayonnaise and hollandaise sauce.
@pancakes @MadgePickles Wait – your cat bought you lunch?
We had same breakfast as every day (almonds and rice cakes) then lunch was a turkey sandwich with way too much Mayo, dinner was Chinese food.
Ngl actually pretty good today.
Then of course I ended the day by eating about 7 servings of MNMs so maybe not the best day
Started out nice, english muffins, tea, cereal.
Lunch was kinda last minute and incredibly late, left over green bean casserole and a veggie chicken sandwich.
Dinner though, dinner is going to be wild.I’m either going to make another green bean casserole or some minute rice depending on how late I end up making it… So probably rice.
What do you like to put oj minute rice?
It’s different each time, sometimes hit sauce, sometimes Alfredo sauce, usually veggies though.
Sometimes chicken, but that mostly depends on if I’ve got the motivation or the left overs.
OJ on minute rice sounds innovative.
Mix with soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, then add some chicken, scallions, and some bean sprouts and you’ve got a damn tasty dinner.
Fuck, I gotta try that at some point
Great simple stir fry recipe I use at work. I do recommend orange marmalade over OJ though. Thickens a little bit better, if you do use oj, you may want to thicken your sauce with a little corn starch
My body WANTS to be diabetic, who am I to get in its way?
My body as well.
I’m type 1 and 2 at the same time thanks to a genetic disorder called McCune Albright syndrome.
Weird day… I’ve eaten:
Idol tbh
Weird day for sure but I felt amazing. Slept well and woke up early. Maybe I should do this again on purpose?
Update? Are you become Übermensch?
I added some lettuce, kale, mustard, upped to 3 cans of sardines and a few handfuls of nuts a day. Felt awesome. Woke up early and wanted to work out. Slept an hour less and felt more rested. Lots of extra free time with no cooking or eating out. I kept eating pretty similar until my next doctors’ appointment. My blood work came back perfect except I was low on sodium. Weird?
This weekend I visited some friends and they offered me an ordinary 5% beer. I felt drunk after half the can and didn’t even want to finish it. Not normal for me at all.
TL;DR: I got superpowers but alcohol is Kryptonite now.
