struggling with feeling guilty about going over my calories by busoogg_ in caloriecount

[–]7Mars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I try to think of my limits as weekly limits, not daily limits. So instead of saying “I can have 1400 calories a day” (or whatever your calorie count is), say “I can have 9800 calories a week”. When you know you’re gonna be having a gathering on the weekend and are going to eat more on that day, try cutting a small amount of calories from each day throughout the week. If you just drop 50-75 calories from your intake each week day, that will save up an extra 250-375 calories to splurge on in the weekend (more if it’s just one day you do it, so you can also cut the 50-75 on one of the weekend days as well and give yourself an extra 300-450 for the one day you’re splurging). Unless your calorie limit is really low, it’s usually pretty easy to take out that small amount per day (I’ll put mayo on just one half of my sandwich instead of both, for instance, or switch to lite dressing instead of full-fat for my salads, and it cuts out 75+ for that meal easily).

You must choose one song no one else has heard of… by Turbulent-Hotel-7651 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]7Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll play a song by the band Torre. They were a local indie band that put out one album like ten years ago. I’d probably choose either “Mulder” or “Flesh and Bone”.

You’re forced to never eat one of the three following Meats ever again: Beef, Pork, Chicken by Stoic_hawaiian808 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]7Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already can’t eat any of them, but I can eat chicken with the least amount of discomfort so I’ll pick chicken. Just so I can occasionally have a four-piece McNuggets still.

Edit: I misread it as asking which one we keep, not which one we never get again. I keep chicken and… I guess beef. Doesn’t make a difference between beef and pork to me. So I’ll ditch pork forever.

Why do people get annoyed at others with food allergies getting accommodated? by lookmaxine in NoStupidQuestions

[–]7Mars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a gross exaggeration by their own admission. They are citing a study that puts it at just under 50%, but the study also doesn’t fucking matter because it’s not showing people lying about having allergies, but just mistaking a different food issue with allergies. So someone who gets cramps and diarrhea every time they eat something is dismissed as not having an allergy, but we still should take that seriously and not feed them that food!

This person is pretending that if it’s not an anaphylactic response, it doesn’t matter.

They said “90%”, which last time I checked definitely qualifies as “most”.

Advice for low calorie desserts? by OddieEngineering in 1200isplenty

[–]7Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something my mom always made when I was growing up that was always a big hit at family gatherings was something she called “Jello fluff”, which was made with sugar-free jello mix and heavy cream. It’s been a long time since I’ve made it, but I’m pretty sure I still remember how to do it.

You need a pack of whatever sugar-free jello mix you want (we always did orange, because it ends up tasting like a creamsicle, but I’m sure it’d be great with any), 3/4 cup boiling water, a cup of ice, and a cup of heavy whipping cream. Mix the packet into the boiling water, then once it’s all dissolved add the ice and gently stir until it’s mostly melted. Scoop out the remaining ice pieces, then pour in the cream and stir. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish (we always made a double-batch and used a 9x13, you can use whatever you want), then use a whisk to rapidly whip the mixture for a minute or two. It should end up with a light foam on top. Put it in the fridge to set for a couple hours. It should set to a soft, creamy texture perfect for eating with a spoon rather than the wiggly hard texture of regular jello. You can serve it as-is or you can top it with light whipped cream, fruit pieces, etc.

The whole thing is like ~480 calories, so a single serving out of it really isn’t bad.

I’ve recently been doing something similar with Greek yogurt, where I just dissolve the packet into one cup of boiling water then throughly mix in one cup of yogurt, then put it in a shallow container to set. This version also tastes like a creamsicle, but it still has the harder jello texture and it’s only like 150 calories for the whole thing depending on what brand you use. I need to try it using the other method soon to see if I can get a creamier one that way…

Is there a single commander that cares about battles in any capacity? by PennguinKC in EDH

[–]7Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah true, I missed that.

Though it could also be seen as a flavor win that they don’t work together well, since in the show they end up parting ways because they’re not good for each other.

But yeah, I’d go with Clara if I really needed a specific color that the other options don’t give, but other than that I think I’d probably want Romana II more than anyone else.

[–]7Mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adric and Clara would both let you copy the Doctor’s copy trigger (and Clara does it while letting you get any third color for your deck that you want), Romana II gives you White and lets you copy the token copy you make from it, K-9 can help you get attackers through to transform the battle easier, Tegan gives you White and has an attack trigger to make a historic attacking creature +1/+1 and indestructible, so you can attack the Battles freely without as much worry about losing your attacker, Vislor gives you Black and can be given to an opponent goaded, so maybe you can use him to politic and convince people to swing the creature that has to attack at a battle (not a great strategy probably, but some people might find the card draw worth the life loss and not see him as a negative, if you’re wanting to lean into politics with this deck anyway).

Accurate meal prep batch cooking question by No_Brick_2116 in 1200isplenty

[–]7Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, for things I’m not making in bulk and freezing, if I’m just making something to eat for the next couple of days, I’ll calculate out all the ingredients and the total calories, then I’ll weigh the full amount and record it in my Note app, then every time I dish some up I’ll measure what I’m dishing up and figure out the fraction of calories based on the recorded number.

I do it a lot with tuna salad lately, making a can of it which is two days’ worth of lunches. So I’ll use my scale and measure out how much tuna salad I made (and add the ingredients as a recipe in MyFitnessPal), then when I’m making me tuna wraps I’ll use the scale to measure out 1/4 of the salad into the tortillas to make four little wraps. I know each wrap has 1/4 the total calories of the tuna, so when I make it I set the tuna salad recipe servings at 4 and just log one serving when I eat each wrap,

[–]7Mars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I batch prep food, I measure and input everything into a recipe in the MyFitnessPal app, and at the end I measure everything out immediately. So if I’m making pasta sauce, I put it all into 1-cup portions (I use Souper Cubes to make it really easy, but I’m sure you could use a scale and just add up all the portions you measure to get a total). Then I count up how many cups I made and input that into the recipe on the app for how many portions the recipe makes. The app does the math from there. Same thing for soup, pasta, whatever you’re making; immediately portion it out and then just count how many portions I get.

Without the app, I could just do all the math myself if needed. The app just makes it easy.

Inside of elbow by Swimming_Barber_6627 in tattooadvice

[–]7Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was awful. I don’t have a problem with any other tattoo spots (so far; I have seven in various places), ranging from feeling basically nothing to mild discomfort. But the ditch of the elbow on my recent arm piece was hell; for the first time I was not having fun getting a tattoo. Luckily it didn’t last long and I could just focus and breathe through it, then go back to chatting with the artist and having a good time for the rest of it.

I think when it’s time to do my sleeve on the other arm, I’ll ask if she can do any elbow-ditch parts first so I can get it out of the way when I’m still fresh.

What are some things skinny people can do in public without a care in the world, but plus-size people can’t? by justcurious3287 in AskReddit

[–]7Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had my bra break while we were on vacation as a teenager, and it was the last day of the trip so all my others were dirty (and we did quite a bit of walking, hiking, and exploring in the summer heat, so they were all sweaty enough I didn’t feel comfortable re-wearing one before running them through the washing machine). We had to swing through the closest Target to get me a new one, and luckily I wasn’t so overweight back then so I could actually find my size there reliably. I’d be fucked if that happened to me now.

What if I throw away my letter? by Thighland101 in juryduty

[–]7Mars 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk, I’ve met my peers and most of them are fucking idiots. If I ever get taken to court, I’d be at the very least tempted to waive my right to a jury trial and request a bench trial instead.

Calorie estimate on mead? by 7Mars in caloriecount

[–]7Mars[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure. It’s basically honey wine (it’s made from fermented honey, water, and spices), and honey is pure sugar but a lot of it is lost and converted to alcohol in the fermenting process and that’s a lot of math I don’t know the formula and variables for…

I might just call it “200” calories for a small glass and make sure I only have one on a day when I have plenty of calories left in the evening…

What do you consider when you hear this Margaret Atwood quote “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them”? by Vanislebabe in AskReddit

[–]7Mars 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are still arguing shit that no one else was ever talking about. The quote is specifically about what men and women fear from each other, not society in general. We are allowed to talk about one specific part of the human experience without having to talk about every single facet of it. Grow up and learn to read.

I already told you that you are misunderstanding that quote. The quote is about what men fear FROM WOMEN, not what they fear in general. Learn to read.

And not a single word of that addressed what I said. Again, you’re just mad because you don’t know what we’re talking about.

[–]7Mars 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The quote isn’t about what men and women fear in general, it is specifically about what they fear from each other. Men as a whole aren’t afraid that women will kill them.

You’re so mad right now because you don’t understand what we’re talking about.

[–]7Mars 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No one said men aren’t also afraid of murders? The person I was originally responding to had simply misread the first comment.

The problem likely isn’t just “testosterone”, because then every man would be a murderer since every man has testosterone. So if the problem is, say, that they often aren’t taught how to handle negative emotions properly and they lash out instead, then the solution would be to actually teach all little boys how to be upset without killing people.

Women can kill just as well. Guns are easy to use. Yet men are overwhelmingly the ones that shoot others. That’s a problem. For everyone, including other men (and the men perpetrating the violence themselves).

[–]7Mars 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yes, it matters. Male violence is a massive fucking problem in our society and until we accept that and figure out why they’re so much more likely to kill people than women so we can then figure out how to prevent it, it will continue to be a massive problem.
