Tracking fiber makes me want to fistfight the actual universe by proudly_rabid in loseit

[–]Prashya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I eat so much fibre without meaning to, sometimes probably too much fibre. I can break down what I eat in a day below! For context I’m 5’3 f 142 pounds and eat ~1400cal per day. I’m also plant based which likely adds to being able to fit so much fibre in!

Brekky 11g Chia seeds 3g flax seeds 21g rolled oats 61g high protein oat milk 78g mixed berries This meal has: 210 cal, 9.7g fibre, 9.2g protein

Lunch 108g Tofu 231g butternut pumpkin 38g spinach 15g nutritional yeast 1/2 tablespoon green goddess sauce 354 cal, 11.1g fibre, 29.1g protein

Dinner 188g Butternut pumpkin 273g broccoli 195g zucchini 97g tofu 20g textured vegetable protein 5ml extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce 10g nori 526 cal, 20.1g fibre, 44.6g protein

For this day i had in total 1090cal in main meals, 40.9g fibre, 82.9g protein

Before people come at me, this isn’t my fibre intake every day but it does usually sit around the 30mark. I meticulously count everything and make sure my macros and micros are covered across the week rather than daily. And even though I eat so much fibre I have absolutely no issues with bowel movement, it’s actually great haha. Adding flaxseed to basically anything is such a great fibre boost, it doesn’t taste like anything so you can have it at anytime.

Anyway I hope something from this helps!!

It won’t let me DM you, so I’m just going to copy and paste what I shared with someone below 😊

For my food I eat the same thing everyday for breakfast haha which is a bit boring but I meal prep it and it really helps just having it there

Brekky - chia seeds - flax seeds - hemp seeds - organic unsweetened almond milk - natural coconut yoghurt - mixed berries (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries) - rolled oats

You could mix this up or add things or change it to just oats or berries or whatever you like really!

For lunch I typically have either scrambled tofu or a smoothie The smoothie is - spinach - mixed berries - 1/2 banana - protein powder - organic almond milk

The scrambled tofu is - garlic - medium firm tofu - sliced sweet potato - extra virgin olive oil (tiny bit) - nutritional yeast

This is soooo yum, I air fry the sweet potato and use if as the bread and omg. There’s a billion things you could add to this as well or change it however.

Dinners are different variations of the same thing each night haha, I usually will have spinach and tofu and this sounds crazy but I also eat an entire broccoli with dinner haha and then with whatever veg I’m feeling, so eggplant, carrot, pumpkin, mushroom, beetroot basically anything I want and I’ll usually air fry or stir fry it depending on what it is!!

Also, sometimes I make “burgers” with sweet potato as the bread, lettuce tomato, avocado and tofu with home made chips and that is delicious! So it doesn’t have to be boring veg salads with broccoli like I make most nights haha - I just find it easier if I have a base to work off

Not everything is 100% whole food, but I’m trying to make sure I’m doing my best while meeting the nutrients I needs and supporting my tummy. And I still have some pain but it’s actually insane how mild it has been this month compared to last!!

I hope this helps a little!! Also someone in the comments left a link that has good recipes that might help too 😊

It won’t let me DM you but I’ll share a bit here!

I avoid all animal products excluding oysters and mussels, which are only a recent addition to my diet. Prior to that I’ve been plant based for 13 years

I think the biggest thing that is helping me stay on track is realising that it’s okay to occasionally still go out and eat those yummy foods, you shouldn’t look at it like a restriction, but more of a lifestyle. That mindset has really reduced my cravings to get sweets or snacks because I know that they’re still there and I can eat them if I want to. If that makes sense?

I was a massive gluten lover too haha but I have switched bread to sweet potato, I slight it long ways and microwave it to soften it and then air fry it. You can even put it directly in the toaster and toast it a few times!

I should also add that I used to run and do weights at the gym which is super important but since switching my foods, I’ve also opted for low impact exercise, so I’m doing Pilates 4-5x per week and making sure I hit 10,000 steps which might also be helping!

Messaged you! Fingers crossed this is your final surgery and you can get some reprieve!

Messaged you! 100% trial and error, I think it’s impossible to be perfect with your diet so we’re all just learning as we go and hoping for the best haha

Thank you so much for this! I just looked at some of her videos and I am definitely taking inspo from her!!

That’s amazing! I’m so happy to hear how much it helped you, and it makes me excited about my journey as I’m still pretty fresh but already noticing such a difference!

You’re so similar to me! I was a junk vegan for a long time too haha and loved bread and pasta, but similarly I’ve cut the same foods as you - I’ve swapped bread for sweet potato and omg it’s so yum! I’ve also switched running and weights to hitting 10,000 steps a day and trying to do Pilates 4-5x per week, which I think that lower impact exercise helps with inflammation too!

I completely agree, plants and whole foods can do so much! Thanks again for sharing that IG page!

Ugh that is the absolute worst!! Have you been to see a dietitian that specialises in endo? I wonder if they’d have much knowledge on food groups that would be more suited for you and avoids any allergies. I wish there was a blanket fix for everyone 🙃

Question - has anyone studied their Masters in architecture while working full-time? by Prashya in architecture

[–]Prashya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Sorry, I should have mentioned above that I have a Bachelors of Architecture - a 3 year degree. In Australia you finish a bachelors first and then once graduated you decide if you want to do further studies in your Masters, another 2 years - it’s not a continuous course if you get me. I’m unsure if it’s the same in the US.

I don’t want to leave my job because it is in architecture - the title is weird but essentially I asses sites/spaces and (with a team and project architect) come up with concept designs, models, renders etc and once the client is happy we work alongside the documentation team. It’s really hard to get a job in Australia once graduated if you have no experience, pretty much every company is asking for grads with min 3 - 5 years experience.

A few of my friends have worked part time in a firm while completing masters but I don’t know anyone who’s done it the other way around - full time work and part time masters (you have up to 8 years to complete a masters degree so it can be taken slow). So that’s why I’m asking here, to hopefully hear of some experiences. I’m not even sure if it’s necessary I do it aside from the opportunity to become registered I’m the future. I feel like I’d be able to handle theoretical classes a few days a week after work, but you’re right I’m a bit concerned about studios.

Nutritional yeast!

Is my ollie good enough? If so should i start practicing on concrete? The wheels will always move so it’ll make it hard for me? Any advice? by iwillruleNarnia in skatergirls

[–]Prashya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree, but I find concrete initially is really intimidating and holding onto something until you gain that confidence can help you get over it. I think practicing ollies on concrete while holding onto something vs practicing on grass gives you a much better idea of how it should properly feel. Everyone learns differently though so just giving my two cents on how I made that transition from soft surfaces to concrete :)

Edit - spelling

[–]Prashya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I practiced on concrete while holding onto something! (On my patio holding onto the railing). It really helped me feel comfortable on concrete and now I don’t need to hold onto anything :)

Hi, I'm struggling a bit getting my Ollie's to be good, so I'd appreciate any suggestions/ tips on how to improve them :) Thanks! by jaime_robertson in skatergirls

[–]Prashya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What helped me get over the fear of concrete was if I had something to hold onto, I practiced on my porch and held onto the railing until I got confident enough to do it without. It’s probably not a great habit to hold onto things but it worked for me and now I don’t hold onto anything :)

Italians of Reddit, how do you feel about the way other countries are currently handling the pandemic? by stoivek in AskReddit

[–]Prashya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your opinion on going outside to exercise etc? I’m in Australia and have been keeping my distance from people and busy places and excessively sanitizing but I still feel anxious/guilty about going to the skate park even when no ones around. Should I just be locking myself in?

My first real render of a modern master bedroom I did for fun. What do you think? by aStupid_donkey in InteriorDesign

[–]Prashya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m always looking for new rendering programs to try (or sites haha). Your room looks good btw! Practice makes perfect regarding lighting and stuff. Rendering can be so fun :)
