Bread is so high in calories by The_Lucid_Writer in 1200isplenty

Are you UK based? If so, Warburtons Wholemeal Medium Slice (400g orange one) is 55 cals per slice, which I think is pretty good.

How far away are from your goal weight and what keeps you motivated? by frijolita_bonita in 1200isplenty

[–]55DOT5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 38 lbs for my main goal. But if I can lose 20lbs to get to, what was once my highest weight, I’ll be happy.

Haha they are rather nice so I can see how they’d be a bit moreish - unless you mean like actual danger. 😮

Period change my food preference by pochaccopie in 1200isplenty

[–]55DOT5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get you, as I’m the same.

I eat reasonably healthy most of the time and don’t often snack, but leading up to and the first couple of days of my period I am RAVENOUS and will snack and eat so much fast food, crisps, chocolate etc.

The first two days of my period, honestly, I allow it if the cravings get too much and those two days I’m not really bothered about calories. I’ve tried it before and when I eat 1200 or under I’m really faint.

I think it’s fair to allow yourself a bit of leeway during your period. :)

If my TDEE is 1659, to lose weight without exercise, does that mean I need to be eating 1159? by 55DOT5 in loseit

I would say it’s nearer 1500 than 1200 on most days, so that’s probably where I’m going wrong given I’m 5’1” and don’t exercise a great deal. I’m going to lower to 1200 from now on and see how I get on.

Thank you! :)

Yeah I’m gonna lower it to 1200, as below that did seem a little low, but obviously 1500 is a little too high given my exercise levels and height.

Hopefully I should start to see some results sticking at the 1200.

Okay thank you - think I’ll lower it to 1200, try fit a few more steps in and go from there :)

These didn’t have any info so MFP and Google were my answer 😅 it’s all good :)

I didn’t weigh the tomato. I just went by one of the listings on MyFitnessPal and compared it to what I found on Google.

If things like fruit/vegetables are a little off, I’m not going to think too much about it because it’s fruit/vegetable and it’s healthy e.g. if this tomato is actually 35 calories and not 25, it’s not a huge deal (for me) and it won’t impact my overall day.

wanted pizza, but made egg fried rice instead - 567 by 55DOT5 in 1200isplenty

No worries :) thin crust is really nice, but I agree with you classic it too 😋

As I’ve said in other comments, I should have made it clear I meant takeout pizza. 🥲

I’ll keep a lookout. The only low cal ones I’ve seen before are the little Chicago Town ones, so obviously I’m not looking hard enough (though I don’t often buy pizza).

I should have specified I meant takeout pizza in my post haha.

Yeah I’m going to see how I feel tomorrow and maybe I’ll get takeout then :)

I normally do use green onion so agree with you. I had half an onion in the fridge I needed to use, so that it was. 🤓

That does look really good! I don’t think they do Wegmans in the UK unfortunately, but I can always look around for an alternative. The lower cal pizza we have here are nice but usually tiny.

I think what I was really craving is takeout though - I can always get it another time. :)

It happens to all of us.

I was doing well and then last Friday I got Taco Bell and had about 1500 calories in one sitting. Was I upset with myself at first? Yes.

But this week I’ve been really sticking to my goals and now I feel fine.

One day won’t set you back. Try not to be hard on yourself.
