Low calorie food tips?

[Anonymous No.10255298]

Any tips for really low calorie food? I'm on a pretty restrictive diet, and I'm looking for foods that are very low calorie so I can eat a reasonably unrestricted dinner.

Right now my go-tos are really just turkey breast slices, raw veggies with hot sauce, and stuff like pickles. I'm not a great cook, so looking for simplicity.

Use rice for the main food and use others as filling on top.

Add meat/veggies/milk/butter/etc.

>breakfast
>1 cup rice + milk

~250 calorie

>lunch
>1.5 cup rice + meat/eggs of choice

~500 calorie

>dinner
>1 cup rice + veggies of choice

~300 calorie

~1000 calorie daily diet. Add seasoning as needed.

>i dunno how to cook rice
Get an electric rice cooker for ~$15-20. I've bought one rice cooker 5 years and its excellent.

>i dunno how to cook veggies
Get a steamer. ~$15-20. Very useful for veggies/meat/eggs/etc

Both of them are basically 1 button food maker that's very healthy and very cheap.

how long will you be on this restrictive diet? if it's gonna be any length of time, i think you should really make an effort to get comfortable with cooking so you don't burn out on a limited menu.

most vegetables are so low calorie and oven roasting is incredibly easy but will give them an entirely different flavor and texture. also i find hot food more satisfying, especially if i've been doing mostly cold/raw food for several days in a row. baked potatoes are almost meat-like and taste great even with just hot sauce and none of the high calorie typical condiments. spaghetti squash takes a while to cook but offers another completely different texture and you can put just about anything in it.

making hot roasted or baked vegetables will make your dinner feel unrestricted.

Low calorie is retarded you fat head. You are going to make your fat ass sicker. Fatness is a symptom of insufficient nutrition, your body tricks you into eating a surplus of calories in the hopes you might eat enough that you
eventually get the micronutrients you're missing. You need to figure out what it is you're not getting enough of, and once you correct the imbalance you'll naturally feel the need to eat less and your weight issues will sort themselves out.

About two months is what I'm aiming for. I'm not obese by any means, but I'm overweight. Normally about once a year I cut out booze and lower my calories for a couple of months.

One of my main concerns with cooking for myself is miscounting calories, thinking I'm doing the right thing and eating too much. I really like this diet though, since I can come home and eat just about whatever I want within reason for dinner (it's hard to eat over 800 calories in a meal if you're not ordering pizza or burgers or whatever).

I'm sure I could handle a potato, and I guess steamed/baked veggies, but I enjoy them a lot raw.

>>10255434
I'm not sick, first off. But second, saying "eat more calories and you'll lose weight" is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard. I have a gut because I drink too much and eat too many calories. When I stop eating so many calories, I lose weight.

I've been in ketosis before and have done keto/Atkins style diets. I think they're effective, but it's really hard to stick to and live a semi-normal life. Just about anything worth eating on keto requires some kind of preparation, like grilling or baking or whatever... which is hard to do in an office, or find keto-friendly foods at restaurants with people.

i'm sure someone will whine at me for saying this, but do you have a calorie counting app? i used myfitnesspal for a while and since it's supported by users, there is a shitton of stuff in the food database so you can keep track fairly easily. if you use any packaged food, you can scan the bar code and it'll retrieve all the nutritional information. there are probably several options out there like this now. you're right though, it's easy to misjudge your calorie intake.

calorie counting is a meme.

learn to recognise how much food your body needs rather than scarfing down the plate "but wasting food? what about all the poor people that are starving" then go give them the food. a fatter you isn't going to make them starve any less.


it's part of human instinct to stop eating when full, we have a innate sense of when we have consumed the nutrients we need, a baby will spit or play with its food when it isn't hungry any more. growing up, this instinct gets dulled as your parents force you to 'finish the plate'

you can try to relearn your capacity by consuming smaller and smaller portions of food day by day. just don't starve yourself, that will only make things worse.

I'm going to say this very simply and cleanly, so hopefully people understand: my weight gain isn't from overeating. It's from drinking too much. Filling my body with 2,000 empty calories a day before eating, and then being drunk and lazy and ordering in is what led me to gain weight.

I don't scarf down food all day, I rarely eat. While I am clean from drinking, I am cutting down calories and exercising to get my body into shape.

I'm diabetic and my cholesterol is over 900.

I gave long thought to this topic. Living the rest of my life popping pills, treating my favorite foods like poison, withering away as meals, the one joy I had in life becomes a thrice daily ritual of demoralization.

I decided I am going to die, and Im happy with that.

I dont even believe type 2, mine, is real diabetes. Type one people actually suffer from childhood. My body just doesnt deal with sugar as well as most. That doesnt mean Im sick. It takes so long to do anything they may as well have diagnosed me with 'time'.

So many things the world has to kill me and I am supposed to lose sleep over sugar. I hear they are already trying to cook up a 'type 3'. Medicine is such scam anymore.

Exercises tires your body and forces you to eat. Meanwhile cutting calorie reduces your weight.

If you want to lose weight, the only surest way is through cutting carbs. Exercise only helps you muscle up, not lose weight. Big meme if you bought into the "exercise = lose weight" nonsense.

>>10255495
I agree, the keto diet takes effort and preparation, and you'd need a good understanding of which foods contain carbs so you know what to avoid.
But I was really just saying that restricting calories at an extreme level can induce ketosis accidentally. It happened to me and I thought I was dying because I didn't know wtf was happening, and at the time I didn't really know what keto was. Just sayin, it's probably something that OP should be aware of if he's going to restrict calories from his diet.

Anyway, OP might even want to look into doing keto. I mean if he's going low-cal then he might as well. It's like, keto is to low-cal what vegan is to vegetarian.

With the lunch menu, you say meat or eggs of choice. If I did, say, eggs, how many eggs should I have?

Rice is cheap, milk isn't bad if I'm only having a glass or so. Eggs are also pretty cheap. Could I splurge on veggies? I have been buying these cheap and easy bags called steamables I think. Are these really bad or are they okay?

1k calories is pretty good yeah? what if you ARE a heafy fat ass who needs to lose a lot of weight? Just add water throughout the day to try and keep full yeah?

Do research on water fasting, it supposedly regulates insulin, cholesterol and blood pressure. You would have to give up food for days at a time, it isn't hard after the 3rd day though.

Water is good for the body to digest foods and carry out its normal functions. Average person can drink about 1-2 cup of water and have to pee about 1-2 hours later. With that in mind, you can drink water and flush out the system throughout the day every few hours.

1K calorie in good amounts of healthy food can be very decent for day to day. If you're exercising heavily, you need more to build up those muscles. But for sedentary lifestyle, its a good amount.

While lowering your calorie intake is important, what you should really be aiming for are foods that are nutritious and satiating for the amount of calories they contain. Some foods, like full fat dairy products for example, are better for weight loss/maintenance than skim or low fat products. Protein is the most satiating macro nutrient, but neither carbs nor fats should be demonized. Base a lot of your meals on whole grains and pulses - the trifecta of cheap, satiating, and healthy. Just vary your spices and veggies and you can have a million variations of bean and lentil stews. Try to stay away from added sweeteners, though a bit of honey from time to time won't kill you. The biggest no-no is heavily processed foods, which is why it will probably be important for you to become more comfortable cooking, even if you don't think it'll ever be something you want to do for its own sake. Even if you limit your intake, your brain/body is still aware of how much food "it wishes it could eat," so your appetite won't decrease and you'll almost definitely gain the weight back.

Get a rice cooker, they're cheap and extremely useful. They're good for more than just rice. I cook oatmeal in mine all the time, and that's probably one of the best breakfasts you can make for yourself. The big meme right now is Instant Pots, which are electric pressure cookers. I hear they're particularly good for people who aren't already into cooking. It will be useful if you make a lot of bean-based dishes.

cut out the carbs, the blood sugar spike locks away energy so you can't use it and makes you hungry again, you probably also have some insulin resistance

I regularly just eat one meal a day, because after you cut out carbs it's easy to intermittently fast

>vary spices and veggies
Could I get some examples? I have a ton of spices but no idea what to do with them all. I mostly just mix a bunch that seem good individually.

You don’t need to eat low calorie.

Weight loss is the combination of eating below two body states, homeostasis and ketostasis.

Homeostasis is the amount of energy (kcal) required to neither gain nor lose weight. Ketostasis is the point at which your body has just enough insulin to break down all the carbohydrates within your body.

The goal is to first eat low enough sugars/carbs to trigger weight loss. When your pancreas isn’t making insulin, it makes glucagon, which eats at any stored energy (fat) your body has to maintain ketostasis.

After you eat below ketostasis, you then want to focus on eating below homeostasis, but only enough to lose 1-2 pounds per week, for a steady and healthy weight loss. This is 3500-7000 kcal net loss per week below homeostasis.

Each person has a unique homeostasis and ketostasis and you should look yours up.

Do this and you lose weight

[Anonymous No.10263242]

for people that want to lose weight, you don't need to do crazy low calorie diets or starve yourself. Just find out what your bmr is and stay below that for the day. if you even just get out of bed once you will lose weight. it's as simple as calories in < calories out. But if you want to be healthy do eat the right foods and exercise, but losing weight is easy

>While I am clean from drinking, I am cutting down calories and exercising to get my body into shape.
That implies you're going to drink and get your fat fucking ass fat again. Learn to control yourself and just cut out the booze if you drink enough to make you fat you useless fucking lard. Calling me a dumbshit nigger when you're the one here asking for low calorie food tips? Neck yourself

i'm not OP you shithead. also what the hell do you think "clean from drinking" means?

Cereal is basically candy, pasta and bread are full of sugar, and preservatives are glucose based now.

It's the "while i'm" part you mongoloid. If you didn't intend on being clean a temporary thing you wouldn't have said that. I can infer that because I'm not fat subhuman scum. Learn how the english language works fatso

Okay. Which part of that is supposed to convince me that keto works better for weight loss than any other method?

[Anonymous No.10263315]

>>10263297
Holy shit are you really this dumb? "While I'm" should be read the same way as "although i'm." Maybe don't lecture people about language while apparently not understanding the fact that the same word can have different meanings depending on the context.

[Anonymous No.10263321]

>>10263305
It’s not about methods. You can eat whatever the fuck you want, as long as you know your body’s ketostasis and homeostasis.

Swimmers have a high ketostasis so they are always burning fat, but guys like boogie have a genetically low ketostasis (like 25-50g per day) and should never fucking ever eat breads, sugars, candy, etc.

It’s about understanding your body. If you feel bloated, swollen, joint inflammation, then chances are you are above ketostasis

[Anonymous No.10263331]

>>10263315
And the context is clearly more that he's cutting the drink just so he can slim down. Big homie anon can't control his drinking to the point he was drinking 2000+ calories a day. He had to ask how to not eat like a retard and you think he's going to stay off the sauce forever? I'll say it again, neck yourself lard.

[Anonymous No.10263335]

>>10263321
Also, by saying swimmers I’m not suggesting that at specific exercise can alter your ketostasis.

Instead, I’m referring to otter mode Olympic swimmers are likely to have a super high ketostasis genetically which causes their body fat percentage to be low as fuck.

About two months is what I'm aiming for. I'm not obese by any means, but I'm overweight. Normally about once a year I cut out booze and lower my calories for a couple of months.

You're wrong and fucking retarded

[Anonymous No.10264747]

>>10263279
Cutting out the booze permanently isn’t really an option if I want to keep my normal lifestyle. Sure I could be boring as shit and stay in my house sober all day, but it would make me worse at my job and kill my social life.

Thanks to the people who are actually giving food advice instead of preaching about alcohol. I know it’s bad for me and it’s why I’m not drinking for the foreseeable future as I get my body into shape.

fuck giving up booze. as long as you have some self control and can keep a handle on it, alcohol makes life considerably better.

[Anonymous No.10264958]

>>10264770
Yeah it’s my goal to handle it more carefully but it’s pretty hard when your body is straight up addicted to it, given that it loosens up your willpower.

Those are all excuses you weak willed nigger, stay fat and drink yourself to death. I wouldn't have said to stop drinking if you could control yourself but you clearly can't so get used to staying fat forever.

Sure. And you'll keep it off as long as you keep doing keto forever, but have fun whenever you decide to stop.

Convert to a high fat diet of mostly meat like spareribs, pork belly/shoulder, chicken thighs or oily fish and leafy greens. I started paleo in January and I'm getting half my calories from fat. I've lost 30lbs. I ate a 14 ounce steak one night for dinner and did not eat for 2 days afterwards, I just wasn't hungry. This requires zero willpower beyond replacing your indulgences of pasta and soda for delicious meats and hard liquor.
