These crackers are my new obsession. Way better than rice cakes imo. I do still love rice cakes but these just feel much more filling and they have kind of a sourdough taste to them. What are your favorite things to put on these?

disclaimer: i weigh EVERYTHING, hence the exact numbers

breakfast: overnight oats with almond milk and cinnamon protein powder

lunch: balsamic grilled chicken with garlic carrots. also featuring raw broccoli and cucumber to dip in the guac

dinner: “hamburger helper” made with carbe diem and 96% lean ground beef

snacks: i know everyone says not to have liquid cals, but poppi and kefir give me such a pick me up!

this is my first time getting back into healthy eating after like a month of eating poorly, be nice!

I made what I’m calling “divorced dad slop bowl” and I’ve been excited to eat it every night and I’m about to make it for the rest of the week I like it that much. It takes 12 minutes to make and is 445 calories with 40 grams of protein.

I season 4 oz of diced chicken breast with Cajun seasoning and salt and put it in the air fryer for 9 minutes flipping after 5

While that cooks I make a rice a roni chicken flavor cup and add tumeric, old bay, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in the microwave

I microwave one of those personal servings of Libby’s sweet peas

And a scramble one egg in 3 grams of butter

I then cut the chicken up into tiny tiny pieces so I barely have to taste it because I can’t explain to you the burnout I’m having right now on chicken breast

Mix it all in a bowl. Done. Laziest dog food I’ve ever eaten and it hits the spotttt

I've been eating 1500 calories for a while now but I decided to try this calorie counter but there's no way it's correct 😫

I think low calorie drinks are underrated. They're my fav to satisfy a sweet tooth, and the best outside on a warm day. I usually just wing it and add what I have on hand to my liking. This one was particularly good 😋

1.5. cups ice 1 12 oz can tangerine La Croix sparkling water 1 cup or so of grapefruit bai A sprinkle of lemon lime liquid IV, maybe a teaspoon? 4 strawberries, two with a slit to put on the edge or the glass to give it ✨pizzazz✨and the two diced really to add to the drink

I would guess 20 calories?

Breakfast - 540 cal

Started with the dinner first in the post since it’s the best meal!

Breakfast: 0% Fage Greek yoghurt with some chia seeds and strawberries

Hey everyone here I have 1 quick question, tomorrow is my birthday and I want to bake a low calorie cake for myself and I want a good whey casein blend, I already have this gnc stuff here and cake batter extract, but I was wondering if you guys thought investing in this other protein powder would be a good idea instead of what I have with my extract, please let me know as soon as possible what yall think ❤️❤️!

trying a “healthier” baked dessert recipe for the first time in years!

my ”healthier” cookie (basically just nut butter, brown sugar, protein powder, and choc chips; 1/2 a recipe made 9) has 127 cal, 6g protein, 11 g carbs, 8g sugar, 1g fiber, and 2.3g saturated fat.

google’s top recipe for the “best” (regular) choc chip cookie would have had 183 cal, 2g protein, 26g carbs, 18g sugar, 1g fiber 5g saturated fat.

mine looked pretty, but they were just ok... as good as it gets w/o flour or butter (which is to say, pretty mid teetering into the uncanny valley in terms of texture). really the only significant benefit is that they have half the carbs/sugar, which is helpful for my insulin resistance, since i have to stay under 45g per meal (which is already a challenge without factoring in dessert ! ugh the horrors). i was not brave enough to try one of those monk fruit/sugar sub recipes (maybe next time i’ll try half fake sugar, half real sugar?)… but i think if the macros were better these may have been worth it, but idk i think i would’ve just preferred a regular cookie + some other protein and fiber-rich food on the side for the sake of meeting my macros lol. or just some other naturally lower carb dessert, like sugar-free jello, or berries and whipped cream, or froyo, etc.

thoughts? dessert ideas?

edit: i did end up eating 3, which was 380 cal/19g protein/34g carbs/25g sugar, which was sort of the equivalent to 1.5 “regular” cookies carb and sugar-wise. that’s a W ig, that if you eat multiple at least it’s less of a blood sugar bomb (and 20g of protein is actually significant) lol
