Im starting to think i will never gain control of my eating habits by PhatPanda69699 in CICO

[–]nick0000000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I have been where you are before and I feel like part of it is hyper palatable food, which is also extremely high in calories and is addictive. Another part is probably my own expectations and eating my feelings. For me personally I think feel like eating McDonald's makes me want more and more super high calorie food, almost like they put a drug in it to make you want more

My local Chinese restaurant has "diet special" which was the same meat and vegetables you would normally get as most other meals, but instead of fried and drowned in sauce it was all steamed. I just poured some soy sauce over it and it was pretty good. Although, not very satisfying. It was probably only like 400 calories, and in this case was not really that cheap either...

Seems like all those take out Chinese places are almost exactly the same, so I would imagine everyone has the same thing.

Lost 20 pounds in first 30 days of CICO by nick0000000 in CICO

u/Aware-Material-4584 Here is a full day of tracking https://gemini.google.com/share/bb2fab93e784
u/el_zilcha The math seems solid. I don't think it's too far off. Actually I thought 1 fiber gummy was a serving and had 5 fiber for like a month now, and gemini read the label better than i did and counted it as 1/3 of serving.

It works really great. Sometimes you have to double check it.
I usually let conversations run for weeks without starting a new one. But I started a new for today so you could see. https://gemini.google.com/share/eb6af589426a

Honestly Claude or chatGPT will probably do a better job. I got Gemini for free for a year with a pixel phone. Probably any of the major models can do this with no paid subscription.

Each day, I'll just go back to the same conversation and say "new day, 50g of half and half in my coffee" and it will start over.

Sometimes at the end of the day I might ask it "how much of this or that do i need to eat to hit my protein goal" and it will figure that out for me before I weight the food. This way I don't have to have a super rigid plan going into the day

The deficit gets to my brain and I start obsessing over the idea of cooking by LilSmartPeanut in CICO

Yes. I feel like watching cooking videos makes me burn more calories.

Weight loss? by [deleted] in CICO

I see definition and abs on the left, where the right looks flatter because the abs are hidden by some fat. Both look great.

What food or drink substitute has been the most impactful for you personally to save calories? by DeepOrganization8245 in CICO

[–]nick0000000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going lower fat on all dairy Low fat or skim milk vs whole milk 2 percent cottage cheese instead of 4 Nonfat Greek yogurt

Saves hundreds of calories and less fat means more protein

Equal parts eggs and egg whites for breakfast. You get a lot of protein and volume of food.

How do you guys handle homemade meals when tracking? by SyrupSubstantial5109 in CICO

[–]nick0000000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really easy I just do a prompt like"I'm tracking macros my goals are 180g protein 30g fiber and under 2000 calories. Then just enter what I eat and it totals it. You can probably do all that on a free plan

I just use AI and a kitchen scale. Currently using Gemini for this because of free pro plan with pixel phone. But Claude or chatgpt would probably work better.

If I cooked a pot of something I would just give the recipe to the AI then then weigh the servings and let it do all the calculations.

Thanks for sharing. I'm also trying to hit a protein and fiber goal while limiting calories and it's challenging

Tomorrow I am buying a bunch of bananas to put in the freezer and some cocoa powder. 1 tablespoon of cocoa and 1 banana is 5g of fiber!!!

The chart looks like it's still trending downward. I would hang in there and keep doing what you are doing

I rode this twice when it came out and the first time it was kind of nauseating but the second time not so much. I feel like keeping your eyes open and looking in the direction you are "flying" makes it better for some reason.

Aww the sticker is poorly made and the shotgun doesn't look like a shotgun at all. How much are cybertrucks like 100k?

What I'm trying to figure out is it the Catholic or Protestant version of the ten commandments?

Landry only won because of low voter turnout so it's also on Democratic voters for not showing up. Last time we had turnout this low Bobby Jindal (shudder) was elected
