When I want something savoury and can’t be bothered to count cals I just take two carrots (30 cals each for large ones but I rounded up. give or take but it’s carrots and even if I’m off it won’t be by a lot and I know it won’t make me gain weight so it’s totally fine!) this may seem weird but I put mine in pickle juice. It just so happened I finished the jar so I just dumped them in but usually I just put some in a bowl with them and mix them around with spices! Pickle juice is 0-2 cals for a huge amount. Basically the same concept as black coffee it shouldn’t even matter calorie wise! It’s all vinegar basically which is 0 cals. Then I pop them in the oven for half an hour. It’s SO GOOD with Walden farms barbecue sauce! You could make a lot more but I cut mine thick so they look like less! But this is my go to after work for something warm and safe yay (:

72 cal berry granola parfait!

I was really wanting a parfait, but the ones here are 250-300 cals and as someone who saves most of her calories for nighttime, for dinner with my family/sister/friends, that reaaaally didn’t work into my cal budget. So I made this low cal one!

I used:

-12 grams made good berry granola minis (45 cals)

-50 grams iogo 0% strawberry yogurt (17.5)

-4 blackberries (9)

Total: 71.5 cals

Low cal apple crumble/crisp!

I was craving apple crisp like HELL. It’s what my grandma used to make for me as a child and I’ve been really missing it.

So I made this, it’s pretty filling! Super warm, cozy and tasty.

Here’s what you’ll need!

-an apple (calories may vary)

-0 cal cooking spray

-oats (calories may vary)

-low calorie ice cream of your choice (calories may vary)

-cinnamon

-milk (calories may vary on brand)

I will show you all the brands I used to make mine so low cal! What I like about this recipe is that it’s so versatile. (:

First step is I chopped my apple in cubes, added my cashew milk, sprinkled some cinnamon and microwaved it until it became all gooey and soft. Then I added some zero cal cooking spray to my oats and microwaved them acting as the “butter” on a plate I scooped up my apples, and placed them down. Then I added my oats on top, and microwaved it again for about 45 seconds. I added ¼ cup salted caramel ice cream on top (arctic zero, SO GOOD.) it’s really good for this. Then I added the rest of the mixture from the cooked apple and drizzled in on top. This was SO yummy and filled me up. It’s a really satisfying dessert for only 121 calories (rounding it up to 125 for the cinnamon sprinkle) which is half the amount of a protein bar (my weakness) and a pretty good portion size!

ED thought ☕️

Before my ED, I never drank coffee. If I did I’d dump a lot of sugar and milk. I’d dip my toast in it. It was my favourite. Over time I drank it black, I hated it. I see old videos of myself when I was overweight or had just started to lose weight and I see myself holding coffee cups. I hated the taste and at the moment I’d scrunch up my nose and wish it was a chai latte, or white hot chocolate.

Then after a while I started adding Splenda, it became more bearable. I liked it more that way, then once I was on vacation in my grandmas small down and in the diner there, they had no Splenda. So I started drinking it black again, and began to like it. My palate was still sensitive though, so I’d have a list of places with the black coffees I’d prefer.

I started to LOVE black coffee, I can even drink a&w coffee black and I don’t even notice how strong it is. If you didn’t know, the black coffee at a&w is apparently very strong to my friends, my mom even has to water it down with warm water when we go for breakfast there.

Now, I can’t imagine myself drinking the old sugary drinks I used to. Hot chocolate is a big no unless I make it myself with cocoa powder and a little bit of Splenda but even then I barely add any because now I just really like strong, plain coffee.

I also learned to love almonds, i could eat a whole bag. When I was little I’d avoid them like the plague, i thought it was the most bland disgusting food, EVER.

My ED has caused me a lot of problems, a lot of pain. Don’t get me wrong I fucking wish I could make it vanish. Complete HELL.

The only thing I suppose I’m kinda thankful for that it has given me is that I’ve learned the lesson to appreciate food. No matter how bland, I’m not picky and greedy anymore.

My taste buds have changed a lot.

My view on food has changed even more and I’ve changed the most.

Does anyone else feel this way too?

Low cal Christmas treats!

So basically, and I don’t know about you, but to me, I’ve found that the holidays revolve around (food wise) pastries, cookies, sweet and savoury pies, potatoes, a lot of carbs, cakes, and sauces. Don’t even get me started on the liquid cals. Because of this, I’ve gained quite a bit of weight instead of losing it. I’ve been wanting to feel festive and so I’ve been eating a lot of these fattening things. Though there are MANY holiday treats that are low cal. Thugs I have forgotten about, because my family LOVES desserts. Here are ways to feel festive though! If you simply want to have safer options, or anything like that!

-clementines. (40, each) the official holiday fruit!

-apples. (50- 80, usually) If you bake them in the oven they’re really good! I add one tablespoon of whipped cream for ten cals, amazing.

-candy canes! (70 cals for 3 mini ones! I’m bringing some to a holiday party so I can have some with my friends!)

-flavoured teas, now these are great options. (0 cals) i have the Christmas in Paris flavour, it’s a mix of lavender and chocolate. I have peppermint, a classic! Candy cane lane, sugar cookie, gingerbread spice, all kinds! I got mine at bulk barn. (:

-hot cocoa! ☕️This is usually very high cal, I know, but you can mix cocoa powder, 1tbsp (5-10 cal depending on brand) with sweetener I add one tbsp but I’d experiment depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have! And boom, 10 cal hot cocoa! If you mix it with hot water though, if you mix it with milk or but milks it’ll go up. (Not by much and not milks are good for you! And to be honest with water tastes the same though, at least to me.) add a mini candy cane for more festivity

-ginger cookies!!! (Amazing amazing) These are the ones I’ve found! Mini gingerbread men (35 cals each) but it depends. Usually they won’t be very high, though, and they’re nice to dip in tea! Usually for a big chunk of a gingerbread house of half of a huge gingerbread cookie it’ll be around 110 cals.

-GINGER CANDY. When I restrict super low, and I don’t feel safe that day but still want something holiday-y (literally every day starting from December 1st to January 10th. It’s a curse.) mine is 10 cal each, they’re hard candy so they take a while to suck on and stop the binge urges, and they have this strong ginger taste they’re really good! They also come in chewy candy but they’re a bit higher in cals (not much maybe give or take 8 cals) but I can’t with my braces unfortunately.

-APPLE CIDER (5 cals) usually normal apple cider is high cal depending on the brand but this one is very good. You mix 1L water, 1 and a half tbsp apple cider vinegar, sweetener and cinnamon (all depending on your taste and how sugary you like it!) and then warm it up in a mug. Boom. Super tasty, you’ll thank me later and I KNOW apple cider vinegar is disgusting and you’re probably thinking “it was good up until now my dude” or “there’s a space in hell waiting for you” but trust me, it’s great. I was showed the recipe and now I’m passing it on this post if you haven’t heard of it already!

-spices! This may not seem like much but spices especially cinnamon and nutmeg are a HUGE part of the holiday treats and delicacies. Add them to your coffee, teas, fruit, and boom there is a great way to feel festive for little to no cals. Not actual cals anyway, so go nuts!

-flavoured coffee!! ☕️ I found many holiday ones for barely any cals. (10) there’s eggnog, gingerbread, and cinnamon spice. Mine are from the brand irrésistibles but I’m sure there are many!

-skinny syrups. (0 cals) i have peppermint bark, sugar cookie, and salted caramel! From the brand skinny girl. Guys and gals, Marshall’s or winners, food section, will save you.

-cookies!! if you want a cookie flavour, take the fibre one brand bars (they’re chewy like a cookie) but square. I didn’t like these alone, but if you warm it up, it’s amazing! Kinda like a blondie bar!!

Ice cream! halo top cake out with holiday flavours and they’re to DIE for. There’s a gingerbread one, a candy cane, pumpkin pie or spice and cool way cake out with some too. Only 90-100 per serving or 200-350 cals per pint! They’re very accurate and honestly just thinking about it is making me crave it

These are all I have for now! I’ll add to it over the next days, promise! I know I’m also kinda late. I’ve been working insane shifts Tomorrow I’ll be putting up a post of super low cal (20-100 cal) holiday treats. But I wanted it to be a post of my original recipes and I’ll be working on them all night (: I hope you find at least one or two things you’d like or have, but if not I’ll put out more recipes before Christmas, I gotchu, boos. I want to make this as happy as I can. The holidays can suck, especially if you feel like you’re missing out. When you don’t allow yourself nostalgic treats, or when most treats are high cal, so I’ll come out with as many things as I can! and I’m sorry I didn’t do it sooner. happy holidays, and stay safe. ❤️

Drinking away the thought of my weekly

binges (-:

When I crave a nice cozy bowl of mashed potatoes i replace it with carrots so I can have a big bowl and watch my show instead of measuring such a small, or just a limited portion of mashed potatoes on a little plate. So I have room to also eat protein too or just triple the amount LOL

Low cal pumpkin banana bread!

-1 cup oats (330)

-small banana (90)

-1 tbsp honey (60)

-1 cup pumpkin purée (70)

-2 eggs (70)

I added salt, cinnamon, which i don’t count! Also you can add Splenda and such but I hate the taste of Splenda in baked goods so that’s why I used the honey, that and the banana will make it naturally sweet!

Total for the whole recipe: 620 calories

I separated into 4 because I wanted a big piece (155 cals and it’s HUGE) and added vanilla halo top! So good

78 cals pumpkin spice milkshake

This tastes exactly as if the pumpkin pie blizzard from DQ and a banana shake had a love child. I’m REALLY craving pumpkin spice flavoured things so I made this!

- ½ cup almond milk (15)

-¼ cup pumpkin purée (17.5)

-½ a small banana (45)

-butter extract, optional! (0)

-cinnamon and pumpkin spice (calories will vary but I don’t count cals in spices)

The pumpkin spice is also optional, but the cinnamon makes it REALLY good. I added a lot because I’m obsessed w cinnamon but adding a lot makes it amazing.

Total: 77.5 cals

Easy 53 calorie peanut butter cookie!

So, I tried making a low cal peanut butter cookie with pb2, pb fit, etc but it was just TERRIBLE and not satisfying at all. I was about to just give up and eat like 5 tablespoons of peanut butter straight from the jar but then I found THIS GEM and I am IN LOVE. It tastes indentical, literally identical to a normal peanut butter cookie you’d have on Christmas. Kid you not. The best part is that it’s low ingredient and SUPER easy and fast. I’m so exited about this guys

You’ll need:

-1 tbsp peanut butter better Crocker cookie mix (I also put it on my food scale it ended at 53 cals)

-2tbsp oat fiber (maybe 1 and a half if you’re sensitive to the texture easily but when I made it with 2 it tasted AMAZING. Than again I really don’t mind the textured oat fiber)

-pinch of salt

-pinch of baking soda

Usually when I make cookies that are low cal I add stevia so at the end it has that fake sugar taste but for this, the ready made mix already has sugar so no fake stevia taste. BLESS. (We deserve real sugar, even if it might be scary! I promise it’s okay.)

Anyway!! Mix all dry ingredients, I added give or take 1 tbsp of water. Just eyeball it that’s what I did! But make sure it’s not too watery.

Microwave for one minute and let cool for three minutes ish and

boom. HEAVEN.

These are the low fat containers of yogurt i use. It deserves its own post honestly, I use them for a lot! They’re only 35 calories and come in dessert flavours too!!

Use 1: put a popsicle stick in it and freeze. Boom low cal frozen yogurt bar!

Use 2: lay it out on parchement paper and add toppings. I do graham crackers crunched up, fruit and two almonds but I grate them on top and it makes low cal bark!

Use 3: it’s really good with oats, it makes it extra filling and flavourful. Instead of buying flavoured oatmeal with added sugar I just buy the plain one then mix this in if I don’t have time to measure out fruit or honey

Use 4: I put two of these in a bowl with a few slices of strawberries it looks huge and it’s only 78-85 cals and so this way I don’t worry anyone or feel guilty myself.

Give it a go. It’s saved my ass more times than I can count

Low cal summer snack

We need a blueberry emoji. Seriously but anyway! I’m sure many of you have heard of or seen this and I always kinda pushed it to the side but PLEASE try it!

All I used for this is blueberries and low fat yogurt, I plopped the blueberries in and then put it on parchement paper to freeze!

-1 container blueberries (78 cals)

-1 container low fat yogurt (35 cals)

Whole recipe= 113 cals!!

This is so good and refreshing. It’s also like a really yummy version of frozen yogurt!! Only much more satisfying. It took me an hour to eat tbh because it gave me brain freeze a lot and I took my time. Also blueberries are really good for you and the yogurt has protein, so even though I wasn’t hungry I didn’t feel bad. I HIGHLY suggest this if you feel like you’re going to binge, but it was so filling i would consider this two portions if you’re just looking for a snack. If you have half it’s only 57 cals!! Say safe loves.

I just made the best THING EVER. THIS WHOLE PLATE IS ONLY 152 CALS.

So ive tried to like angel hair/zero/shirataki noodles for ages but I can’t. Call me dramatic but It makes me want to cry and I just cannot get past the gross texture so I looked into RICE NOODLES. But my secret for bulk is bean sprouts, boiled!! Mixing them with the noodles (and the best part is you don’t need many noodles just keep them long and don’t break them apart for it all to mix together nicely!) and BOOM. Big bowl of cozy and normal texture noodles!! As you can see I added other things for bulk and flavour like veggies, sauces (these are my low cal ones I mix them!) and of course siracha thing (in my opinion it’s better ) it’s also really good wth crunchy veggies like cucumber, carrots and Kimchi!! It’s also super filling!! You can see how much it fills a plate next to my hand (: anyway! Enjoy

are there any mfp/diet/low cal meal/thinspo pages still out there

i’m so fat and struggling pls dm if u have any interest in losing weight and wanna be diet buddies

i’ve been fasting more lately and binging less and i am starting to feel a little more in control of my eating but overall really worried i’m gonna binge again its been 4 days minus my wine binge yesterday.

☁️hey loves!☁️ I’ve compiled a list of my fav low-calorie safe foods (if you can even call this food, but hey, you get it). REMEMBER! I do not promote eating disorders. By doing this i hope you’ll maybe find an option off my list that you’ve never tried before. Restricting is downright bad to begin with, but I prefer restricting over people straight up fasting themselves to death.

:

Green Tea

-do i even need to explain myself?

-good source of caffeine + metabolism booster

-0 cal

Mint Black Tea

-tastes better than green tea (mint come thruu)

-even better source of caffeine

-0 cal

Chai Tea Latte

-milk is a fear food for me so i make it with water (and it tastes amazing)

-VERY filling. I usually substitute dinner with this.

-8 fl oz = 110 cal

:

Raisins

-fiber = make you poop

-cranberries are a good swap if you don’t like raisins, but they are higher in calories

-the ones in the pic i got at Target and they are the generic brand but each bag was like 2$ and they bring a lot sooo… big save

- each box = 45 cal

Dried Seaweed

-some might gag, but hear me out, they’re good. I’ve liked them since way before i ever developed this shitty eating disorder

-2 servings per container. 1 serving = 25 cal. The whole container = 50 cal

Rice Cakes

-The OG

-i usually skip breakfast but if i really truly need it, ill grab one of these with some tea and i’m out the door

-1 cake = 35 cal

Pickles

-I forgot to include these in the picture but oh! my! god! they are a life saver

-assuming you like pickles, that is. I know a lot of people that dont.

-0 cal… 0 FREAKING CALORIES!

Mint Gum or Altoids

-minty

Cinnamon Gum

-for when I’m feeling adventurous lol

:

LaCroix(or Bubly, whatever sparkly water floats your boat)

-okay ik Diet Coke is a staple ed drink, but the truth is its even worse for your body so please dont drink it every day. Its basically bottled poison. I think the only time i would ever touch a diet coke is under special circumstances, like at a christmas party or something.

-0 everything

Stay safe lovelies! ☁️

Here is my current meal plan!

It’s low in fat and sugar, budget friendly (less than 30€/week), meal prepped

I eat less than 1000cals/day so this makes room for when I see my friends and it wasn’t planned (it’s beers mostly lmao)

• Breakfast (20-200 cals)

I usually don’t have time and just drink a coffee with milk but sometimes I make oats :

50g oats, 60ml milk, cinnamon, stevia (200)

• Lunch (400)

I make my lunches in advance (usually 2 days the night before) so it’s ready in the morning and I don’t have excuses like “oh I don’t have time to prepare lunch I’ll just eat at the cantine”

1 portion (200cals) of protein rich carbs : lentils, quinoa or red beans

1 portion (140cals) of protein : 2 eggs, chicken, tofu, tuna, soja meat

1 portion (60cals) of seasonal veggies of choice

Plenty of water, black coffee and tea throughout the day

• Dinner (200-400)

I’m lazy and don’t feel like cooking dinner and next lunches the evening bc I get home late, so I usually eat something light and convenient

Soup, fresh or canned veggies, fruits, pre-made meals or salads

If I crave something sweet, instead of buying and eating a whole cereal box or several cookies packs like I used to do, i now force myself to eat tangerines, oatmeal or chocolate covered rice cakes (they’re 60 cals each), and drink coffee or tea with sweetener and have a piece of gum

I’m not ready to buy sweet/fatty/junk foods again bc I know I’ll eat it in 1 sitting, so I stay away from it for now

If I’m really hungry, really craving something or feeling weak, I choose to eat!! I know eating more once or twice a week won’t be as bad as restricting too low and then having huge binges! It’s way worst to starve and binge bc y'all know it’s a never ending hell

And eating 1000 cals/day will definitely make you lose weight (it’s already a low intake), and it will be easier to keep it going

Goals can be reached with patience and consistency :)

What’s the best way to lose weight fast ?

Is it by fasting 3 to 5 days several times in a month and restricting <500 cals the other days? (and also exercising every single day)

Or is it by restricting <500 cals every day and also exercising?

Does “starvation mode” really exist? Is it possible that you lose more weight by eating daily but restricting than fasting/restricting?

I need help and advice please

Skyr y'all

One of my safest food ever, and I think this yogurt is really underrated and deserves recognition

Very low fat, low cal, high protein yogurt

~ 50 cal / 100g

~ 20g protein / 100g

Comes in fruity/vanilla flavors (good for sweet cravings, breakfast, snack, overnight oats)

Or just plain (good to avoid binges while having protein, healthy dip with veggies, low cal dressing, anything)

You can buy it in 100g tub so it’s a perfect portion, or in big pot!

When I was really underweight and my parents would keep a close eye on what I ate, they never suspected it to be an “Ana food” bc it’s not labeled as “low cal” or “0%” or “diet”

I said I wanted to gain muscle mass and protein was good, so I was allowed to eat them :)

Low Cal Banana Bread Mug Cake

• 2- 2 ½ Tbsp of oat flour (44-55cals)
• 1 Tbsp of sweetner of choice (mine is swerve bc 0 cals)
• ½ tsp of baking powder
• Sprinkle of cinnamon (>6 cals)
• ½ a small banana (approx. 45 cals)
• 1 egg (70 cals)
• *optional* 1 Tbsp chocolate chips (70 -75 cals)
• ½ tsp of cooking oil of choice (cals vary)

Just mix it all together in a mug and put in the microwave for a total of 2 mins in 30 second intervals

Total Calories:

Approximately 235-250 cals

Low Cal Oatmeal Recipe

❣ ½ cup of oatmeal (150)

❣ 2 tbsp of PB2 powder (50)

❣ 1 tbsp of Swerve sugar replacement (0)

❣ Sprinkle of cinnamon (<6)

Total cals = 200 cals

For toppings, I’ve been obsessed with a few dried cherries and a spinkle of sliced almonds

Y'all

Swerve sugar replacement is the bomb!

It’s a great 0 cal natural alternative to other natural sugars like honey or cane sugar and even better than low cal artificial sweeteners because a) the aftertaste is minimal if not completely absent and b) it won’t affect your blood sugar so you don’t have to worry about blood sugar spikes (which can lead to cravings and possible binging). It’s gluten free and again 0 cals!

I like to add some to my oatmeal every morning, but you can add it to whatever you want!

Stay safe x

Guys I did not forget, I know it’s been a while but I’ve been going under major changes in my life. It started with my dog dying, me getting a promotion as manager, losing my friends and loved ones, going full time to college while working a full time “part time” job as manager at a major grocery store, the pandemic hitting, and finally getting some freedom from people being near me(social anxiety). Suddenly people started to come back and I went into psychosis, could function at my job but had mental breakdowns to the point they were going to fire me if I didn’t get help. Met with a therapist who threw me into multiple psych wards, deemed me a danger to myself and others, had a whole group of mental health professionals try and tackle my issues with intensive out patient. I started to gain weight, hate my body, take medication, lose my thoughts, get detained by police at my job because my therapist deemed me a threat to myself and others again and again and again. Lost my position as manager, they threw me back into the store where I hated, gave me a new job there which was alright but they didn’t understand I was so desperate to leave there because I had stalkers.

Once again, I was harassed by my therapist because I’m atheist and she told me I was condemning myself to hell. She made me cry constantly because I do not love myself and have more love for others in need than “pitiful”old me. Finally had enough of her bullshit, got in touch with some old acquaintances and thought everything was good. Finally got my drivers license and a car. Ended up getting in multiple accidents with parked cars cause my therapist would talk to my psychiatrist since they used to work together and had me drugged up the ass without having any warnings on the labels saying “do not operate vehicles once taken”. Had a boyfriend who treated l like shit and raped me after constantly asking him to pull out because it hurt and telling him I didn’t want to do it anymore. Grew more and more suicidal to the point I told him to get the fuck off of me and broke up with him the same day because I was just a cumdumpster and a cab to him. My ex-fiance came back into my life and we remained friends but it was always on and off. A “friend” then sexually assaulted me multiple times while I was still heavily medicated. Got sent to the psych ward again and finally got a great therapist who’s a criminal psychologist and can deal with my homicidal ideation and not deem me as a threat because he knows I would never act upon it. Got a different job, and they fired me because I wanted to go back to school and work fewer days which they agreed to but suddenly changed.

Changed my major from nutrition to mortuary science, went back into school, And was struggling to pay bills, feed my companion animals, and pay for my medication and appointments. Now I have a steady job as a caregiver, only have two clients but they adore me and I adore them. Able to pay for my stuff again and lost 25 pounds but still struggle with my body dysmorphia. I got rid of the people who hurt me and now I’m lucky enough to have 3 people I consider friends. Now I’m almost done with my prerequisite for MS and no one is abusing me but my parents still. I’m not happy, I’ll probably never be, but right now I’m in a decent spot. Sorry for the wait, this will be completed. I’m not too sure if I will do a voice-over tier list but I will still definitely do the tier list. For those who need stuff right now here’s the hookup. Please eat and stay safe
