>avocado toast
Really baiting for (you)s, aren't you?

>>16803628
>Trying to loose weight
>3 fried eggs, 2 fried patties of whatever, and a large avacado for one meal
I bet you're American

>>16803690
I'm not.
But think about it, that plate is at most 1500 Calories highballing everything that goes into it.
I will get at most 500 more Calories throughout the day. 2k Calories is below my daily Calorie use.

>my first meal will be 75% of my arbitrarily determined daily limit
>lunch and dinner being crammed into 12.5% each will be ez pz bro

>>16803715
Why wouldn't they?
It's PM 3:45 and I'm full as fuck.
In two-three hours I'll make myself a fruit salad (320 Calories at most), and an hour or two after I'll make myself a cup of tea latte (220 calories at most) putting me pretty much right where I want to be.

It seems to me, good sir, you're talking out of your ass.

>>16803628
That looks delicious but the toast might not be your best option . I try to stay away from grains . Here’s what I ate yesterday . I believe it was less than 1500 calories .

>>16803814
Yeah, I'll try replacing it with something else (probably buckwheat) after I'm done with the remainder of the bread.

What's that under the broccoli on your last meal?

>>16803833
Fried onions and mushrooms .

>>16803751
If you aren't at a deficit of at least 500 calories you're ngmi

>>16803875
I'm at a deficit of way more than that.
I'm 120kg, 190cm, and I'm going to the gym and punching a bag at home.

My problem isn't losing weight. I can lose weight consistently and reliably - I've been down to 110kg before.
My problem is sticking to it and not rebounding.

>>16803836
Looks cool, anon. I should be making something like that to add variety.

>>16803915
In that case give yourself some slack, if you're not satisfied with your meals you'll be more likely to slip

>>16803915
I remind myself that I need to find healthy food that I can live with the rest of my life . That’s why I’m always looking for new ideas to add variety .

>>16803814
You’re the guy who loves plastic.

>>16803915
eat less food and get used to it fucking lardass

Dude. How do you manage to eat that much. I can barely muster up a 1500 calorie day and that's at least 1500 calories in one plate.

Help me gain weight bros I'm sick of looking fucking skeletal.

>>16803961
If it saves time . I haven’t owned a car since 1993 so I tell myself it all balances out

>>16803961
Also , transportation and power generation drives oil , gas and coal production . Using less plastic won’t slow fossil fuel production at all .

>>16803971
Eat peanuts

>>16803971
It's a force of habit if anything.
Try eating more often if you can't eat a lot.
Eat more calorie-dense food (carbs and fats).

>>16803628
>Trying to lose some weight here.
>three portions of battered haddock with about 12 portions of mushy peas drowning in ketchup
do americans really

>>16804014
That’s good advice . Maybe I should stop eating them so I lose weight faster .

>>16803971
>5'10
>lanklet
what? You're a manlet skellington

And good on you OP. Your method is fine and your meal is fine. Don't listen to these fat nerds

>>16804047
Not the op . I’ve done better since I realized I need a dietary system that fits my needs and I no longer believe that I have to follow other systems completely .

>>16803814
>low fat options

why? fat does not make you fat.
the wrong fats(saturated fats) are unhealthy.
what makes anyone fat is sugar/carbohydrates.
just try cutting sugary drinks out of your diet. this includes fruit or vegetable juices as well.

not to mention that many low fat options have extra sugar in them to make them taste better. fat is a flavor enhancer

>>16804077
>Fat does not make you fat
Excess makes you fat

>>16803690
>I bet you're American
>tea latte
without doubt a fat.

>>16804086
It's how Starbucks call it. I make an inspired version at home and it is pretty much a latte recipe-wise.

>>16804077
True , I keep falling into the trap of thinking that the most important thing is calories in and out .

>>16804090
nobody cares fatty

>>16804083
true, but it's easy to consume in excess when you drink sugary drinks instead of water.

also the food pyramid is corporate propaganda.

https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-pyramid/


>The problem with the US government’s original Food Guide Pyramid, released in 1992, was that it conveyed the wrong dietary advice. And MyPyramid, its 2005 replacement, was vague and confusing.

>Food Pyramid guidelines (food_pyramid_guidelines.gif)With an overstuffed breadbasket as its base, the Food Guide Pyramid failed to show that whole wheat, brown rice, and other whole grains are healthier than refined grains. With fat relegated to the “use sparingly” tip, it ignored the health benefits of plant oils—and instead pointed Americans to the type of low-fat diet that can worsen blood cholesterol profiles and make it harder to keep weight in check. It grouped healthy proteins (fish, poultry, beans, and nuts) into the same category as unhealthy proteins (red meat and processed meat), and overemphasized the importance of dairy products.

>PM 3:45
why?

>>16803628
>Trying to lose some weight here.
>massive portion of fried shit
ngmi
eat half of that at most and stop eating gay shit like fruit salads and tea lattes altogether

>>16804102
here is the correct one according the harvard

Here's the fruit salad in question. Just under 220 Calories.
>>16804109
Because that was the time at the time, anon. Different places on the planet Earth have different time readings at any given moment.
Imagine that.

And that's the aforementioned tea latte - also a bit under 220 Calories.
Might eat a persimmon later. Might not. But that'll be it for the day - it's 9 PM.
I feel pretty good about today, ngl.

>>16804141
Is it really a fruit salad if it's just diced up apples and bananas?

>>16803628
>trying to lose weight
>still eating food

>>16804377
It's really a fruit salad if it's just diced up apples, bananas, and kiwis though.
The idea, though, is to consume a considerable amount of fruit without getting bored of it.

>>16803628
That's not going to help you lose weight.

>>16803915
>My problem is sticking to it and not rebounding.
That's because if you learn not to eat normal size portions throughout the day, you will be more satisfied and less likely to fall back into bad habits

>>16803628
Hope you didn't fall asleep at work after this meal

>>16803690
>loose
why do fags still get this shit mixed up

>>16803915
>My problem is sticking to it and not rebounding.
Seconding this is most likely because your meals are still huge as fuck. All it takes if for you to eat two "real" meals and day and you rebound.
As someone who has also eaten 1500 calories in one meal while dieting successfully, I ain't gonna tell you you're doing it wrong. But something like this should be the exception.
For me, the real trick was the fact that I could eat 3000 calories in one day and still lose an average of 2 lb per week because some days I would only have <= 1000 calories. All about dat rolling average.

>>16803971
If you're not moving, try being more active and it should help your appetite.

>>16803628
Get rid of those fried things and work out and you will be find

>>16803814
They say you are what you eat, and I see you're eating fage yogurt.

>>16803628
You're trying to lose weight so you eat a lunch consisting of carbs and fat?

>>16803709
>1500 Calories
If that's the only meal you're eating for the entire day, then that's fine.

>>16803628
Are those chicken patties?

>>16803814
ywmbaw

>it’s just the Greek yogurt that has no added sugar and the fewest ingredients at the grocery store I shop at . I also like the flavor .

>>16804818
I’m not trying ?

>>16804757
>>16804783
Out of everything I tried, cutting portion size had by far the worst result. Even straight-up fasting feels better than cutting portion sizes.

You guys are also grossly overestimating the size of that dish. It would be in the range of 1100~1300 Calories at most and that's only because of all the butter it has which you can't actually see from the image. The whole "1500 Calories" came from a healthy amount of overestimation so I won't eat more than I intend to;
>266 Calories for bread (highballing, there's less than 100g of bread there)
>240 Calories for avocado (highballing, there's less than 150g of avocado there)
>300 on eggs, (highballing a lot - they weren't drowned in oil)
>400 on menchi katsu (highballing a lot, there's no way it's 200 grams)
>360 on butter (about 40g total)
>yes, I do have food scales
Meanwhile, you're pretending like I'm downing a 3k Calories PizzHut here.

I would much prefer having a single satisfying meal a day than multiple unsatisfying ones. The reason I rebound is never that I feel hungry - it's because I grow tired of cooking for myself or at least thinking about what I'm eating and how much I'm eating, and going back to ordering food online, buying chips and candy bars, drinking soda, etc., etc. Everyone has different eating habits and what works for you might not work for me and vice versa.
I'm also a big guy. I can slowly lose weight by consuming up to 3k Calories daily. I'm so fat because I eat more, much more. Because I would eat that 3k Calorie pizza during the day, chug a 2l bottle of coke and in the evening I would grab four bags of Doritos and finish them with a liter of Red Bull. I can eat a full course of satisfying meals throughout the day and be fine as long as I don't fall back to eating a shitload of snacks and somewhat monitor the calorie-dense food intake (fewer sweets more buckwheat).
Thanks for the feedback tho.

I'll be going to sleep, have a nice one.
Also, I didn't eat that persimmon.

>>16804077
Low fat food is more voluminous and mentally more satisfying

>>16803628
Trying to lose weight? Fried food and high calorie avocado spread is not going to help

>>16804372
Don't drink your calories.

>avocado spread fags are obese and retarded
imagine my shock

I made chinese scallion pancakes, pretty simple recipe all things considered
