Yeah, I stopped looking at this thread because I always feel like I am eating way too much seeing how little some people eat before feeling full. But then I compare what I eat to what other non-surgically enhanced people eat and i think ok I don't eat that much really

That’s very sad to hear 😪.

I only post highlights of the things I’m eating (that aren’t boring) and definitely not every meal because it would be 6-8 a day. I’m going to try to be more transparent and post the full meals I have (including drinks and snacks).

I really hope no one is alienated by this thread. It is absolutely not the purpose to humble brag about how little is eaten. I don’t like unrealistic standards either. They aren’t helpful. I hope you decide to post more because representing all levels really matters especially for people who only see the small portions and think it’s the only “normal”.

Come back please ❤️

Somehow I’ve become a random food photo dumper but enjoy (ate all of these ones). This was several days of meals.

This meal (today’s breakfast) I didn’t finish- Breakfast wrap, cottage cheese and pineapple. Also the nutrition facts for breakfast that I ate.

Same.

I eat alot of junky "meals", and sometimes i post them (i'm looking at you cheese popcorn dinners!), but i am afraid sometimes that posting these junky meals may be triggering for some people and may not be appreciated (or get judged: i drink alot of alcohol) i dunno....

It's true that i don't eat much in volume, but i do get up there in calories (like 2K a day)

like @GreenTealael proposed, i'll try to show more varied examples of what i eat (fair warning: they may not be pretty!)

i agree that the more people post what they eat, we all get a better idea of how varied we all are, and hopefully gain some acceptance and recognition that there are a whole host of ways to be...and that's ok.

I see you are a rice cake with savory stuff eater. Just like my husband. He loves eating these things with ham and cheese. Also the corn variation.

rice cake + savory stuff = me 🤢

Taking advantage of the cold weather (I'm always wary of ordering in summer). Online grocery haul from Kokku:

The mousse was I-want-my-money-back-🤢. Bummer.

junky meal(s) alert:

went out for dinner yesterday to a mexican place (forgot to take pics..but i had 1 tilapia taco, a couple scoops of guac with tortilla chips? and a chili coconut margarita, est ~750 cals for what i ate).

BUT i also ordered some a tres leche cake for dessert that went straight into a take out box cuz i was done eating.

i ended up eating about 1/4 of the cake (probably a little less) and 1/4 of an oatmeal raisin cookie for a snack while watching tv later that night: 152 calories. (seems like it should be more cals but whatevs)

i AGAIN ate the same amount of the same Desserts today for breakfast/lunch.

i figure i have at least 2 more meal/snacks of cake-cookie ahead of me unless mr. gets to it first.

I need everyone to know that I was rushing this morning and tried to drain the excess liquid from a Greek yogurt and 90% of it fell out. There was no way I was opening another or taking a pic for this thread so I just ate an abnormally small portion despite my last post 🤣

Airfried hamachi collar (208g with bones) with 48g rice and a umeboshi plum. I ate the rice and 80g of the meat, gave the rest to my begging cats lol. Calories eaten 217 calories.

I had steamed gai lan (Chinese broccoli) with oyster sauce later not shown.

Some more traditional fast breaker compared to Soup. Rye bread, partly toasted. Also tried the food for Future tuna salad. Not bad. It looks and tastes like "the real stuff". Didn't hit the spot though. I put most of it away in the fridge.

That's one bread with slices of the Camembert I bought yesterday. I tried a new brand and it tastes fine. Bummer that they don't have any blue cheeze right now. I'm craving some gorgonzola like sauce.

An older Italian chef encouraged me to try some 'over-ripe' Gorgonzola that was almost walking off the plate. I have never looked back. Its the No. 1 on my top cheese list

ok, u wanna see how much i eat??

did my fave way of eating (tasting menu) at this restaurant i booked months ago and totally forgot. good thing they called me the day before to confirm!

Legend:

Green checkmark: ate it all

Yellow: fraction ate noted; or just tasted to try.

Red X: didnt eat or even taste.

Note: you cant really tell, bit these servings are small-ish...think the size of like a ping pong ball..

we got through the menu over about 3 hours.

Hope u enjoy perusing these as much i had making the collages! 😃

Rice with black Beans (kind of fermented and quite salty, it was out of a can form the Asian grocery store), broccoli and mushrooms with honey-garlic sauce.
