Breakfast: Cottage cheese and mixed greens frittata
This has been my favorite high protein breakfast lately. It keeps me full all day, I get lots of greens in with out eating a huge salad and it could also be portioned through out the day :)
3 eggs
½ cup 4% cottage cheese
126g mixed greens
¾ tbsp butter
Salt/pepper to taste
Pinch of nutmeg and garlic powder
Preheat oven or toaster to 400. Whip eggs thoroughly, add cottage cheese and seasonings and mix. In a skillet, cook salad greens until wilted, remove and set aside. Add butter to heat-proof skillet coat thoroughly using pastry brush. Pour egg mixture into hot skillet, place greens on top, and place in hit oven or toaster oven! Ready when no longer jiggy!

Dinner: Avocado and meat ball salad
100g lean meatball mixture
125g chopped romaine lettuce
¼ avocado
¼ cup 4% cottage cheese
½ lime, juiced
2 tbsp red onion
Salt/pepper to taste
I make four small meat balls and pop them in the air fryer on 350 for 10 min to cook to render out some fat. Then, dice the onion finely, mash the avocado and mix with cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and lime. Kinda weird, I know, but it makes a creamy dressing and adds extra protein w/o making it super unhealthy. Toss dressing romaine and top with meat balls! Enjoy :)
½ cup Pineapple avocado coleslaw ( coleslaw mix, sliced pineapple, diced tomato, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, avocado in place of Mayo, lime juice, and salt)

Today was nice, I’ve been pretty good since the 28th of December. Before then I was just eating whatever and i gained little weight, unfortunately :/ I’ve been working out a little bit every day and it is keeping me on track. Even light work outs are helpful so I don’t feel like a failure. With my ED in the past the most difficult thing to deal with is my all or nothing mentality. Like, if I don’t work out one day I may as not well work out for a month OR if I ate one unhealthy thing I may as well eat the rest. So doing small work outs and having at least ONE healthy meal a day reminds me to stay on track and not catastrophize for making small mistakes.
I rode my bike for about 45 minutes through out the day, 5-10 minutes of jumping jacks and I also played just dance for a bit :) I probably burned about 700 calories from working out. Also trying to stand more so I burn more calories.
4 cauliflower bites, some fries, a cocktail and 2 beers
Its seems like a binge day but i def held back a lot despite being w friends and family all day. I felt like i ate way more but now seeing it written down its not a crazy as it seemed lmfao. The alcohol is a lot but i wanted to have a good time lol. Gna try to work out asap tmrw morning and restrict until 3pm ish
another sinclair brothers slice of life. i just love making them fight over petty shit.bold is sign as always.

“Look, I said I will tape it for you the next time it is on TV!”
“That isn’t the point though!”
“I know your point and you’re being stupid.”
“I’m being stupid? Turns out you can’t fuckin’ read apparently!”
They’d been going on like this since before dinner was ready and had paused it only once to bicker about Bo’s brisket carving technique, before continuing their main argument over the dinner table.
Since then, the table hasn’t been quiet; the constant rattling of cutlery as it is dropped and picked up again with Vincent’s yelling. Even Bo, who wasn’t one to be parted from a meal, would throw his fork down if he was particularly irate, signing messily but none the less furiously at Vincent, just to drive his point home.
Vincent slammed his own fork down in anger and quickly replied, “I can read, and there wasn’t one thing on that tape that said not to tape over it!”
“Itold you last week not to use that tape!”
“You have a million more tapes, it’s not like you have nothing to watch now!”
“That is not the point,” Bo repeats, “I liked that episode and I told you not to use my shit without asking!”
“Fuck you, you use my things all the time!”
“Like what?”
“My boots are still at the back door because you wore them last week and have not cleaned them!”
“That was for a practical purpose! And,” Bo jabs his fork in Vincent’s direction, “I will clean them. You can’t get my tape back.”
“I can’t believe you’re so hung up about this. Why are you so attached to that episode?”
“Episode of what?” Lester asks. He’s had no idea what this argument was even about seeing as it started before he even arrived at the house. Knowing Bo, there were two options: Star Trek or Knight Rider.
Bo answers Vincent’s question defensively, “I am not ‘attached’! What, is it a crime to enjoy a TV show now?” At the same time, Vincent replies “Star Trek,” to Lester.
Lester nods, though no one is really taking much notice of his opinion on this whole thing.
Bo goes back to his dinner, but keeps talking, “It’s the principle of the thing, Vince.”
“Whatever. I’ll tape it again for you.”
Bo grunts. Vincent grunts back.
Lester sits there in silence, glad that they seem to have come to an agreement, although he doesn’t quite understand what has just happened. He loves his brothers, he does, but their arguments can go around in circles for hours sometimes with no apparent end other than the moment they both get bored of arguing. Lester’s just glad they finally seem content to leave this one be. For now.
“They’re giving me more hours at work,” Lester says, throwing the fact into the room and awaiting a reaction.
“More?” Bo asks, “You’re already out there breakin’ your damn back every day.”
“I - We need the money.”
“We don’t need nothin’ we can’t get elsewhere. You need help wi’ money, you come to us, alright. We’ll figure it out.”
“It’s just a couple extra hours, Bo. Aint no harm.”
Bo raises a brow as he chews thoughtfully on his brisket.
The rest of the night passes uneventfully. The twins give up their arguing for the night and there’s a steady supply of beers in the fridge.
When it gets late enough and Lester has had his fill of eating the twins’ food, he makes to leave. Bo waves him goodbye from the couch with one hand, taking a swig from his bottle of beer, eyes still trained on the TV.
Vincent walks him to the door. He never normally does that.
“See you 'round, Vince,” Lester says, already opening the door.
Vincent takes a swig from his own beer bottle before putting it down on the side table to speak, glancing behind him to make sure Bo is still watching TV. “While you are out tomorrow, will you get a TV magazine for me? So I can find when that stupid episode is next on.”
Lester scoffs softly, keeping his voice down, “You really gonna coddle him like that?”
“Shut up,” Vincent smirks. “He’ll be on my ass about it if I don’t. ”
Lester shrugs, “Sure thing.” He pats Vincent heartily on the shoulder.
“You either in or you out,” Bo calls, “You’re letting all the heat out.”
“See you, Bo,” Lester calls back, finally setting out into the cold night and heading down the path to his truck.
I am probably gonna regret this, but tell me more!
Okay so take cheese pizza
Add blueberries as a topping
Done!
…. you know I kinda wanna try this now
Guess who just bought pizza and blueberries
Alright here we go!! I made two different versions, one where the blueberries were added before the pizza was cooked, and one where they were added after.
Verdict:
1. Warm blueberries do not do it for me. Do not recommend!
2. There is a freshness to it that I could see some people enjoying. Still not my cup of tea, but surprisingly not bad.
MUSHROOM AND GREEN BEANS SOUP!!! (55 calories and BITCH it is filling AF)
Ingredients for 2 people (55 cal a person, so you could eat it all for 110)
160g mushrooms (I used champignons) - 35 cal
Veggie/chicken/beef broth cube-15 cal
220g Green beans (you could substitute for any other low cal veggie like broccoli or cauliflower and adjust the calories) - 50 cal
Soy sauce (as much as you’d like) - 5/10 cal
Water
Saltandpepper
Msg(optional)
Grab a big pot and toss the mushrooms in there, let them cook a bit until the mushroom juice comes out and they r a bit brown. Add the water and broth cube, soy sauce, salt ecc. If the other veggies are already cooked you can let boil the soup for 15 minutes and put them in 3 minutes before it’s done, if not just drop them in now and wait however many minutes it takes to boil them :)
Enjoy!!!! It’s super mega filling and it’s fucking yummy
can I just say I appreciate my health insurance so much? in recent weeks I’ve been really struggling with my nutrition both mentally and physically in a weird way that I can’t quite pinpoint yet and while I plan on talking about this with my therapist in the next session, I realized that my insurance has so many resources on emotional eating, healthy eating and even a few courses I can take if I like - all online and for free!- and I’m just so happy about it because it gives me a really good starting point to explore this whole thing without having to wait ages until I can talk to a doctor!
