Posting pics of everything you eat thread!

[Friedbanana]

Hi! So during the first lockdown, i set up an instagram where I posted photos of every single thing that entered my mouth except from tea, and it really did discourage pointless snacking as I’d pop into the kitchen for a random biscuit but then I couldn’t be bothered to take a photo of biscuit as phone was in the other room, then I realised I didn’t actually really need the biscuit and back it went! It was super effective for a while and along with MFP I lost about a stone, but then I started to follow other instagram account and got some followers back and felt pressure to make everything look pretty, which meant I stopped posting absolutely everything so started having random snacks again, and have now put back on a few pounds! I tried setting up a new private instagram but wasn’t really that motivated! So I’m starting again but instead hoping a mumsnet thread will help!? Anyone fancy joining?!

I’m for a calorie deficit of around 500 per day, so eating about 1750-2000 and burning 2250-2500 (i have a fitbit alta which estimates total calories burnt). I walk a lot (1.5-2 hours a day with dog plus i walk to work) but am going to try getting into running again too! Trying to not be too restrictive food-wise as I’m having problems overeating by quite a bit some days! (when I don’t track while eating and then add up after I can easily put away 4000 calories a day without realising )
I’m currently about 9stone (havent checked for a bit so possibly more!) and aiming for about 8st4.
So yes, please do join and we can look at eachother’s non-instagram-able food!

Ps. a tip I never knew about MFP which makes life sooo much easier, is you can click edit, and check all ingredients for a meal if you’re batch cooking for example, then do ‘save meal’! Saved sooo much time! But maybe everyone knew this already except from me

Todays food for me:
Breakfast: banana bread muffin, microwaved with frozen berries, biscoff spread, 2 crumbled biscoff biscuits (fully recommended, tastes like berry crumble!), 200g greek yoghurt mixed with cinnamon, plus a small mocha ~ 508 cals
Lunch: chicken paella leftover ~ 410 cals
Snack at work: Almond bounce ball - 158 cals
Snack after work: mini hersheys bar plus 2 mini cinnamon biscuits - 78 cals
Dinner: Vegan burger with cheese, sweet pot fries and salad - 800 cals
Lots of tea with oat milk! - 44 cals
Total cals: ~ 1954

Yesterday was

No breakfast.
Lunch was home made soup with roll (no butter)
Dinner was veg, Quorn nuggets (3), 1 slice reduced fat garlic bread.

Snacks- cucumber and reduced fat soft cheese, 5 squares of dark choc, 1 hobnob.

Hello all! I have had some pretty stressful life stuff going on so I'm just happy to be eating whatever I'm using the children going back to school next week as a aim and try to get life back on track and things calm down 🤞 I'm getting out for a walk daily but not stood on my scales. Hope everyone ok and I can come back to taking pics and talking to u all very soon...one step at a time eh!

Another testing trouble but in internet explorer.

Today I've had:

Breakfast: crispbreads with sliced potato and mayonnaise

Midmorning: banana

Lunch: homemade mushroom soup and a slice of bread (looks like swamp sludge but tastes really good)

Mid afternoon: wafers with biscoff and banana and an apple

Dinner: cabbage pudding (traditional swedish dish) with potatoes, carrots and lingonberry jam

I've had two bad nights this week, which means two bad days. Weigh day for me tomorrow so I'm hoping I've stayed the same, which would be a lot better than gaining.

Hello! I’ve not had the healthiest day by any stretch haha but I didn’t snack in between ‘meals’ (counting my huge cookie as lunch 😅) and I weighed myself this morning and actually seem to have lost weight even though I wasn’t trying, I guess because I’ve managed not to binge for past few weeks :)

Breakfast- mocha and 2 topped crispbreads

Snack- 10g lindt, no photo

Lunch- chai latte and large cinnamon swirl and biscoff cookie (ate half while out then half when I got home, microwaved with a bit of alpro custard, goji berries and raisins, no photo)

Dinner- chicken fajita salad- I had a bit more chicken than this too and later ate more salad too, no photo of the extras

Snack- 3/4 of an oatmeal raisin NYC style cookie I made (yes I know this is deff over the daily recommended cookie allowance however I have been meaning to bake these for ages, but worried I’d have zero self control as I’ve not got a great baking track record recently, soooo I decided it would be a good idea to bake when I’ve already actually had a huge cookie, then I won’t be tempted to eat loads! I did of course have to try, so had a 1/4 of one, then it was ridiculously good so had another half! But better than having the whole tray 🤪 burnt around 2300 cals so possibly in a maintain but I haven’t tracked :)

They are bigger than they look!

Just want wondering, do any of you use any food tracking apps?

I've fallen so far off the wagon this weekend I've managed to put on over a kilo in just 2 days. I need to get my shit together. I've been doing so well but now chaos is creeping in.

Saying that, today has been a good day. I've had:

Breakfast: toast with ginger jam

Midmorning: a banana

Lunch: quick noodles
