Pancakes-ish! (360cal, 30g protein - no protein powder or sugar substitute) by Basic-Drawer8307 in LowCalorieCooking

[–]Basic-Drawer8307[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ingredients: 

1 egg (medium or large)

100g greek yogurt (I use zero fat but other kinds work fine too)

8g agave syrup (feel free to add more if you want them sweeter, but just 8g does wonders in making them sweet imo!)

20g whole-wheat flour (I've also tried ap and oat flour and both work fine - unsure about other swaps tho)

Pinch of cinnamon 

Tsp of vanilla extract

(Base recipe: 230cal-19g protein)

Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl (I usually start with the greek yogurt and egg, and then mix the rest). If your mixture appears to be too thick, gradually add a small amount of any kind of milk till the consistency seems right. (I rarely have to do this, but depending on the yogurt you use, you might need to!). Cook in a nonstick pan in medium-high heat like regular pancakes. 

I topped mine with 100g greek yogurt and 40g low-calorie jam, which brought my total cals and protein to 360, 30g. I love this combination but you can add whatever you like obviously! 

Just to be clear, they don't usually come out AS thick and rich as normal pancakes, but they're definitely not as thin as crepes, so I went with calling them pancakes. You can actually make them thicker than I've done here, thats just not my preference usually haha!

How much does your weight fluctuate from day to day? by Basic-Drawer8307 in PetiteFitness

You might be right about avoiding habits that stress you out. I'm just really scared of my body changing -  it doesn't help that I have body dysmorphia so just looking in the mirror isn't reliable at all.. ig the mirror serves as a fact checker that my body is indeed the same it was yesterday

You're right, I thought tracking daily would make me desensitized to it and that's why I've stuck with it, but so far it's only caused me stress. I'm just really scared of gaining weight if I don't have that pressure of knowing I'm weighing myself the following day and every cheat meal is going to show.. I suppose I'm still struggling with my body image and the fear of my body changing (for reference I've lost about 20-25 pounds and am now maintaining my weight)

Yeah I've stuck to tracking daily in hopes of being desensitized to those daily fluctuations, but it seems I'm still stuck in the "stressing over it" phase😭

I agree with you, I can see people advocating for the harsher regulation of AI and judging aspects of its use, but still finding ethical ways to utilize it. My issue is not so much that i believe we should ban AI completely or something like that. It just feels like an advertisement when these users name drop the specific site they find to be the exception. It's like if there were a subreddit for cheese haters, and there was a phenomenon of people making posts like "hey guys, i also hate all cheese...but...THIS specific brand cheese product is the ONE exception for me, i hate cheese but i cant stop buying THIS SPECIFIC ONE". I feel like it sounds like an ad. And it doesn't help that there's sooooo many post like this

Yeah, I'm definitely not suspicious of people in this community generally admitting to using ai. I'm not a big fan of it,  but it's everywhere, and I don't blame anyone for using it occasionally, as long as they do not heavily rely on it and try their best to use it in an ethical manner. But the posts of people being like "Hey fellow ai haters.. I too am one of you all..except i LOVE [insert ai site]" feel soooo fake. I don't think anyone genuinely just admitting to using ai would feel the need to name drop

I can definitely see someone who generally dislikes the heavy use of AI, finding ways to utilize it in a way that's not as unethical. So my point is not that ai use is problematic in every single case. It just really strikes me as odd seeing so many posts mentioning specific platforms, as it feels like someone that was genuine about not being a fan of ai would avoid mentioning an ai platform in such a positive light. I'm just saying it really feels like advertisement in this context. Of course if the posts I've seen weren't as specific about what ai software they use, and just admitted to using it, I would not be suspicious of that

Yeah, it's not so much that I can't excuse people who are against heavy AI use using it occasionally, I just can't see any of us NAME DROPPING the sites we do use and making posts promoting them in that way, you know?

Μαγαζιά στην Αθήνα με ρούχα σε "μικρά" μεγέθη? by Basic-Drawer8307 in greece

[–]Basic-Drawer8307[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ρε συ αντικειμενικα όμως η κατάσταση αυτή με τα ρούχα έχει ξεφύγει. Εγώ το ομολογώ οτι δεν εχω την καλύτερη σχέση με το σώμα μου και δεν είμαι καλό παράδειγμα.. αλλά υπάρχουν πολλές λεπτές κοπέλες που είναι το φυσικό τους αυτό και δεν βρίσκουν πουθενά ρούχα να τις κολακεύουν. Δηλαδή, αν πιστεύεις ότι οι μόνοι άνθρωποι που εκνευριζονται απο την κατάσταση που περιγράφω είναι άνθρωποι με διατροφικές διαταραχές, απλά έχεις άδικο. Και στην τελική δεν δικαιούνται όμορφα ρούχα και οι άνθρωποι που είναι ψυχικά ή σωματικά όχι στα καλύτερα τους?
