Would those meal replacement things actually be a viable alternative? For Huel at least, it supposedly contains 100% of your daily requirements for everything. It's protein (from peas and brown rice), carbs (from oats) and fat (from seeds and coconut oil) and then a bunch of vitamins and other supplements are added. So yeah, assuming they're not bullshitting, it's a completely viable and healthy meal.

Put a slab of cheese on bread, open a can of tuna and spoon it directly into your mouth, etc. There's lots of ways to eat a quick breakfast without needing a meal replacement.

Breakfast is by far the easiest meal to cut out, you're already drinking coffee to suppress your appetite. It can take a few days/weeks to train your body that you don't need breakfast but you will eventually stop getting hungry in the morning. Makes it a lot easier to stay in your calorie goals.

I switched to real peanut butter, which is still calorie dense but the only ingredients are peanuts and salt. https://www.amazon.com/Teddie-Natur...s=peanut+butter Reasonable price.

if you want to eat a healthy breakfast but don't have time in the morning, set yourself up with some overnight oatmeal in a to-go container. Just grab it and go! recipe- 1 cup oats (instant or normal, not steel cut) 1.5-2 cups liquid (more is usually better) (water, milk, almond milk, soy milk, whatever) fixins (can be peanut butter, frozen fruit, whatever you like. I personally go for 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp ground flax, and a cup of frozen berries, maybe 2 tbsp peanut butter if I'm not gonna eat for a while) mix everything together in a to-go container and stick it in the fridge. Tomorrow morning you'll have oatmeal that's ready to eat, and IMO tastes better than traditional oatmeal (partially because the chia seeds add a nice texture). You can also add a scoop of protein powder if you like. Note: this will produce roughly 2 servings worth, so what I'll do is mix all the dry stuff and put them in separate containers, pour my liquid into one container and mix/leave in the fridge overnight, and then I have another one on standby. Which is even better, really, because then you can make enough servings of dry ingredients to last a whole week (or even longer since they're dry and won't go bad), put them in a container, and then portion them out. I'd recommend not adding the liquid until the night before because it'll taste better. Verisimilidude fucked around with this message at 14:06 on Jul 30, 2018 |

Would those meal replacement things actually be a viable alternative? That's been a problem for me as well. Some weeks I make a big batch of oatmeal on Sunday so I can microwave it most mornings. Another thing I've done is take a potato/sweet/potato/multiple small potatoes and pop it in the oven at 200-250 overnight, though I haven't hit the sweet spot because a few times I couldn't tell if it was overcooked or dehydrated. An overnight Crock-Pot setup might do you some good, or sous vide if you can afford ~200 for the Anova and a big straight-faced bin for the water. I should figure out what would make a good Crock-Pot breakfast with minimal cleanup. Meal replacement would also work, maybe you can supplement it with some roughage like raw spinach, crackers with canned tuna/salmon that you mixed up in a big glass tupperware

Has anyone here had to cut any of their overweight friends out of their life while dieting? I’ve had one trainer recommend it to me in order to denormalize fatness and overeating. Seems kind of harsh and I’m pretty sure this trainer is crazy (he’s also a fanatical paleo dieter because apparently I shouldn’t put anything in my mouth a monkey wouldn’t but makes an exception for rice because “Asians love the stuff and they never get fat”).

I wasn't able to get under 200 lbs until I ended my relationship with my ex girlfriend, diet of course not being the reason for the breakup. I guess I don't have enough willpower to change my diet while living with someone else with a different diet. I find people who can lose an impressive amount of weight while still living in a home filled with food guaranteed to make them fat pretty amazing.

I’ve tried eating less snacks over the day and it’s paying off. Bowl of shredded wheat and almond milk for breakfast. Just wasn’t feeling my normal yogurt with fruit this morning. For lunch I had a bowl of black bean soup and some smoked chicken I did over the weekend. After work, hitting the gym. Making pad Thai when I get home.

feelix posted:Sure as long as you don't use the calorie counter readout to justify eating something extra I'm going to partially disagree with this guy right here! First, the part I agree on: don't use the calorie counter readout on pretty much any device, because they tend to be horribly inaccurate. Instead, use an online calculator, which tend to be more accurate. Measure the time from when you hit your target heart rate until the start of your cool down. Then take the result from the calculator and subtract 10% for margin of error. You'll almost certainly find that if your calorie counter readout says 500 cal, your calculator is more like 300 cal. Now, the part that I disagree on: do eat as many calories as you burned. Or, rather, keep your spreadsheet balanced. If you're aiming for two pounds a week, you're at a 1000 calorie deficit, right? So if your BMR is 2800 cal, you're eating 1800 cal on a day you don't exercise. Well, if you exercise for 300 calories on any given day, you should eat 2100 cal in order to keep an even two pounds per week. I can hear the screaming shitgibbons already, but just ignore them. Why not take the extra weight loss? A couple of reasons: first, keeping the deficit uniform is easier than dealing with more hunger, especially if hunger is an issue for you. Secondly, doctors pretty much everywhere suggest you not lose more than two pounds per week (after the first week, of course) to prevent excess muscle loss. You like your muscle, right? I would also suggest against doing 1000 calories of exercise in two hours on a calorie-restricted diet. Unless you haven't already burned through your glycogen stores, you're almost certainly going to lose muscle along with the fat. That's not ideal.

Or, keep a 700 calorie deficit and let the exercise be its own health habit. Hunger is not one-to-one with calorie deficit, although it's good to exercise before eating because you're making space in your glycogen stores or whatever. Hunger can be addressed by making the typical food less rewarding and obtaining reward from other sources, including exercise. I think this is different from eating normally planned meals that are intended for the maximum allowable weight loss under sedentary conditions, then exercising, then inserting a snack to prevent excess weight loss.

Yeah if you're regularly exercising you should adjust your calorie intake and figure out what amount makes you lose weight at a healthy rate. If you just worked out one random time for longer than usual you don't have to go to an online calorie counter to figure out how much extra you should eat so your muscles don't dissolve from your body

Fat is live tissue, too. Has caloric requirements. Identify your target weight's caloric intake, get a little exercise now and again. You'll get there.

So I used to be a chef at a Japanese restaurant and decided to start making more exercise-centric Japanese recipes that I find online and hear from colleagues. Here's one that I posted elsewhere that's very healthy, filling, customizable, and simple, and can be cooked in large batches.quote:Made chanko nabe yesterday, which is a Japanese stew traditionally eaten by sumo wrestlers in massive quantities. It's highly nutritious and filling, and is typically eaten with rice. I made it vegetarian, but threw in some leftover soup dumplings after the fact. I currently have 3 quart-sized containers of this stew in my freezer and another 3 in my fridge. Each one has roughly 2 servings.
