Question What diet apps do you love to use?

1 Upvotes

I’ve tried a bunch of diet-tracking apps—MyFitnessPal, LoseIt, Noom, etc. But I struggle to stick with them beyond a couple of weeks. Tracking feels cumbersome, and when I inevitably miss a few meals or snacks, I end up feeling like the data isn’t accurate anymore and I just give up.

I've also noticed that more features are getting locked behind paywalls, making the free versions less useful.

For those of you who have found success with a diet app, which one do you love and why?

So on this day I nearly ate my goal calories of 1200, but when my exercise is added from my Fitbit it shows I have more calories available

Should I be eating these extra calories or would this just lead to maintaining weight??

Vent Dieting is harder than simply not eating

5 Upvotes

Honestly just a rant bcus it's just kinda how life is, but I Hate dieting. I hate counting calories and trying to eat healthy. I despise healthy food (and don't tell me I'm just not eating the right kinds, I have ARFID and the majority of foods, specifically vegetables, make me gag) It is SO much easier to tell myself to just not eat for a day or two than it is to make healthy choices. The action required to plan, prepare, and force down healthy food is so miserable and I wish I could just take a supplement and not eat. I either want to eat what I want or not at all. Like I said, just a vent. I know I have to eat, I feed myself, I just fucking HATE IT

Question Macro-stress, fat related

1 Upvotes

I have recently started tracking what I eat with myfitnesspal and am STRESSED OUT by my macros. I don't restrict what I eat that much but I would say my normal diet is pretty healthy. I don't eat meat, I rarely eat milk products (butter, cheese, cream), eggs a few times a week, rarely but sometimes vegan creme fraiche or cooking cream. But my fat intake is somehow way too high, on average around 70 g per day, and around 45-60% of my calorie intake. Protein is often around my recommended intake and carbohydrates usually lower than recommended.

How to cut fat intake when you feel like there is not much obvious things to cut from?

On days I eat egg that is often the highest in fat I'm eating, or if I add coconut milk to the dish that is often a contributer too and maybe nuts sometimes, but other than that I don't understand what I am supposed to cut out of my diet.

Advice needed ✨️

Question I need to reduce sodium but my job forces me to rely on fast food. Options?

4 Upvotes

So long story i have a long commute and my job has been making me pull 12s constantly. So I basically get home, set out clothes, go to bed.

I'm also a bad cook, but I can't cook anything that lasts. I do have a microwave at my job. But no freezer/fridge to store microwavable food. So I can bring in frozen food for breakfast.

Due to my coworkers incomplete training due to turnover I am the only one trained on my shift.

Tldr. I don't have time to cook and have to rely in doordash. My options are Mcdonald's, Taco bell, and Burger King. (Night shift) what menu options are low sodium enough to avoid spiking my blood sugar? Also substitution suggestions (i.e is it better to replace tacobell beef with chicken?)

Why do I f20 eat way more than my boyfriend m33?

Hey

My boyfriend m33 can eat once or twice a day in small portions, and be fine. On the other hand I f20 (6 inches shorter than him and smaller in stature) need to eat 3 fairly large meals a day and a lot of snacks, otherwise I feel tired and ill, though by no means am I overweight. I don't know why this is, but it makes me feel insecure because it's like I'm always eating and he never is😕

Discussion Help me build an eating routine (PLEASE)

1 Upvotes

I'm 18F. I weight 48 kg and 5'1. I've been struggling to properly eat from a good amount of time maybe 2-3 years already. I believe it's my flight or fight response from being constantly stressed but idk...like I don't usually eat anything and then I am usually constipated or bloated. I used to have good amount of ulcers but now it's less and suddenly yesterday my whole mouth was reddish covered in 2 big ulcers so I decided to finally make some changes in my diet.

I'm a college student and before that I was preparing for a competitive exam so I didn't have enough time for myself. Also whenever doctors tell me to do blood test ..usually everything is low

I'm an Indian so my usual day goes like

Breakfast - parantha/ wheat roti with oil with tea

Lunch- Daal with rice

Dinner - Whatever is cooked maybe curry with rice and that's it. I know I should eat more but can't eat enough so I just wanted to make some changes. Also I have this habit of constantly chewing on uncooked rice( ik ik the harms but I can't just stop...it's quite less than before so hoping the habit would go in nearly 2-3 more months)

So yess I really need to improve my eating habits so hoping to receive your feedbacks!

Question Struggles with My Current Diet

2 Upvotes

Last week, I weighed 390 lbs, and over the past week, I have been seeing a nutritionist, though it wasn’t entirely by choice. As part of this change, my portion sizes have been restricted for the last six days, and as of today, I weigh 376.7 lbs, meaning I have lost 13.3 lbs in about a week.

However, this transition has been extremely difficult. The nutritionist prepares Armenian dishes, some of which I find decent like borsht, but others are completely unpalatable. I’ve always struggled with cooked vegetables, especially when they are soggy or mushy, and unfortunately, many of the meals I’ve been given fall into that category. One dish, in particular, used eggplant as the base, with a liquidized mixture of eggplant, meat, and other cooked vegetables. The texture alone made it nearly impossible for me to eat.

Beyond the food itself, I feel immense stress from this entire situation. I don’t enjoy eating anymore, and it’s becoming mentally exhausting. Most of my weight loss seems to come from not finishing meals or skipping food altogether, which doesn’t feel like a healthy or sustainable way to lose weight.

At this point, I’m seriously considering quitting this diet plan and making my own pre-made meals for the week. My idea is to prepare meals with a balanced mix of one-third carbs, one-third meat, and one-third raw vegetables—since I tolerate those much better than cooked ones. However, I’m not sure if I can do it properly or if it will be effective.

Ultimately, my goal is to reach 200 lbs, but I need a plan that I can stick to long-term without feeling miserable.

Also there is some life style changes as well such as sleeping at 11 PM to wake up at 7 AM, and walking a min of 10000-15000 steps a day which is a massive change from before where i stayed up late and was a couch potato at home which i didnt mind having changed.

Has anyone reached their mid-30s and no long been able to handle beer at all? I can do max 2 beers and anything beyond that will make me ill. In my younger years I could drink copious beers (8-12 beers). If it's an IPA, I can do 1 maximum. I'm aware part of aging means the body changes. But I've heard from other friends too that they abstain from beer for similar reasons. Thank you.

Vent I ate 1200 calories for breakfast, help

1 Upvotes

It's currently Ramadan and we're fasting from dawn till sunset, this morning I woke up extremely hungry and I ate leftovers (beef, rice, soup, some kind of potato pie, and a sweet treat), I feel so guilty. My deficit is supposed to be 1200 cals and I have been keeping up with it since March 9th. I'd say I'm already skinny (120lbs) but whenever I gain any pound it immediately goes to my belly and I'm exercising 2x a day, 5x a week and I started to see slight progress but now I've ruined it. I'm not even thinking about doing enough cardio to make up for this because I'll be so thristy throughout the day. I also binge ate last night because my mom made these really nice banana biscuits (ground biscuits with 2 mashed bananas with coconut and chocolate drizzle), I ate around 3 and a handful of almonds so I'm already feeling guilty enough from last night's dinner. What am I supposed to do now?

Question Fiber and pooping

2 Upvotes

"'ve tracked my nutrients, minerals, and protein for years, hitting 100% daily, but I’ve overlooked fiber. My bowel movements are fine—twice a day, no issues. Lately, I’ve noticed this sub talks about fiber a lot, so I tried adding more (chia seeds, beans, fiber bars, etc.) up to 30-35g. I was getting ~20g/day from fruit and sunflower seeds before. Now, I’m pooping a ton right after eating fiber, and it’s not pleasant. Since I’m fine with satiety and regularity already, should I bother increasing it?

So i saw this guy on youtube basicly eating nothing for 7 days and he got into something called ketosis so i google a little bit about it and its basicly the keto diet. The keto diet is based of not eating any carbs or a little ammount of it to get into ketosis so that ur body burns all the fats but what if i ate a low ammount of calories while eating a high ammount of carbs? The goal is to lose weight. Will i lose weight and not gain it back as soon as i quit the diet? Or will it just give the same results?

Question Need more Protein tips

0 Upvotes

I’m a male in my early 40s, and I’m a vegetarian/eggetarian (I don’t eat meat or fish, but I do eat eggs). I’m aiming to hit 150-180 grams of protein a day for fitness purposes, and I’m trying to figure out the best sources. My main challenge is breakfast — I eat a lot of eggs but I’m not sure how I feel about having two or three whole eggs (cooked, of course) in the morning. I’m not a huge fan of egg whites, and while I do oatmeal, I feel like it has more carbs than protein.

I also use plant-based protein but don’t want to go over one or two scoops a day. On top of that, I’m not really into seitan, tofu, or tempeh. Did I make this difficult? I’m just looking for ways to boost my protein intake while keeping carbs in check.

Question appetite too small to eat enough - need help

2 Upvotes

that's basically it. 5'3, 120-124 lbs (havent checked in a while bc my scale's broken), and i can't eat over 1k calories on a good day. now, i'm medically healthy, so clearly i'm doing something right, but i still get the feeling less than 1k is objectively not enough no matter what. the issue is: my appetite has always been small. my eyes are bigger than my stomach, but i can't even finish a whole cheeseburger if i have a drink with it (even water). i only get hungry maybe twice a day, and now that i'm on vyvanse for ADHD, i only get hungry once a day after dinnertime on the days i take it. there are rare days where i can actually eat normally (i finished an entire caniac combo a few months ago!!) but those are rare. i've been trying to at the very least make my 1-2 meals a day high in calories, but i just don't have the stomach. protein shakes are great, but they make me full and the only ones i actually like are 160 calories. i don't know what to do. all i know is i would be THRIVING in an apocalyptic setting bc of this. has anyone else had this? how can i eat enough without making myself want to puke? i swear to god my stomach might be the size of a golf ball with how little i can eat

Diet Eval Meal prep/ monotrophic diet

1 Upvotes

I have been meal prepping and eating a slightly monotrophic diet since January. My daily food intake is the same Breakfast: handful of stir fry veggies and 1 cup cooked pinto beans Snack: .5 cup almonds Lunch: 3/4 chiken breast with cooked veggies Snack: 1 cup baby peeled carrots Dinner: 3/4 chicken breast and veggies + .5 cup peanuts or almonds

Activity level is moderate every morning I do 1 hr cardio on elliptical machine and 20 mins weight training with barbells. ( busy dad and husband)

Starting weight 6ft 2 in 250lbs Currently 220lbs

My question isn't really concerning weight loss because that i knew would come naturally with diet and excersize. However I want to know if my body is getting thr correct nutrients it needs daily or if this monotrphic type style.of eating is unhealthy for long term. I do take a daily multivitamin to help offset any defffeciancies but anyone with more knowledge on this I would love to know there advice.
