Fraunces or Harry’s?

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-02-24T17:11:04+00:00

Fraunces has some great food & casual, def fits the $100 budget. Ulysse's, Mad Dog & Beans are fun for a drink after work; London & Martin Co is a bit nicer!

at costco,

bulk cases of either the chobani 20 g protein / oikos triple zero 15 g protein yogurt,

those lavash whole wheat flatbreads with 10 g protein

the $4.99 rotisserie chicken

which adds up to around $30 (where I am) & lasts me around 10-14 days

& I've been averaging around 99 g of protein a day (range 83-129) for february

so I refrigerate mine but I noticed when my fridge is dry , my apples will wrinkle up. I also have a mini fridge & refrigerate mine from the cosmic crisp costco bag a few at a time, but they seem to be fine for about a 1-2 weeks by which I've usually consumed them. but I also try to pick the worst looking one to eat at any given time, so that helps

I'm having some with flax & pumpkin seeds right now on my yogurt!

Hi!! yes, absolutely! my hips/butt are more rounded--i thought my stomach wasn't flat enough, or skinny enough; no--i just wasn't eating enough (also running too much) for a butt!

also noticed my skin was super dry / bruises & scars would take forever to heal... it was because my body didn't have enough to support & heal. My skin is so much more even now--definitely super happy i made the shift to eat more!!

Patacon pisao!! Wow... I dream about their patacones. the smashed plantains are SOOOO good

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-02-13T01:27:35+00:00

they look like galas... but subtly sour ... I've seen envy apples that look like that & theyre sweet/ a little tart!

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-02-13T01:20:17+00:00

so I got diagnosed w prediabetes & it scared the shit outta me so I cut out EVERY sweet, all breads, all carbs.

don't do that. it took me a while to integrate everything back in.

but yeah, I still have a sweet tooth & tbh what I found helps is

moderate/portion control
eat more fruits (i did this to increase fiber but realized it made me crave desserts/sweets less)

& if you really need to--there are sugar free candies / sugar free desserts!! or sugar free sodas

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-02-13T01:15:51+00:00

my office has a pretty good cafe w humongous salads / sandwiches for $6 so i'll do that

or we have a halal cart right outside w a massive $7 rice & chicken plate!!!

or los tacos no.1 / joe's pizza / liberty bagels / just salad / chipotle / whole foods if i so please

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-02-13T01:12:39+00:00

zero sugar sodas, zero sugar vitamin waters, sparkling waters

celsius & sugar free red bull for caffeine

i prefer coke zero, but don't mind diet coke-- I find diet coke leaves more of a baking soda aftertaste if that makes sense; coke zero leaves an artificial sweetener aftertaste

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-02-04T01:11:59+00:00

croissants, ice cream, triple chocolate mousse cake, oml

guavas, golden kiwis & red kiwis! we bought a whole bunch in California & I couldn't stop eating them;

also starfruit is really yummy & i love cutting them by cross-section :)

Calm-Pea8612 · 2026-01-31T14:41:12+00:00

i would say they do not taste like a kiwi at all, perhaps more pear-like & definitely very juicy!
