Ice cream is my nemesis as well. I know that I will dump if I eat more than 1/4 cup, but I tell myself its ok every single time. Spoiler Alert: its not. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ice cream is the devil. Sorbet it easier. Halo top is fine. But regular ice cream is the 👿

Yesterday was a big ol' food day for me. I was hungry all day. And so I ate. Oddly, I was also exhausted and in a crummy mood. I didn't even get up and walk yesterday cuz my mood was so bad and I was so tired. So I took a day off. Today I pay the piper cuz I'm up to 133.4lbs (pre-poopy weight). I am working on day 2 poopless, so I do think I can account for it beyond just having a ton of food in my body from yesterday.

B2-Open faced Chaffle McMuffin (egg + eggwhite + uncured hard salami + 2% deli deluxe cheese + Psylli Chaffle)

L-1/2 Rec Green Soup (broccoli + spin + cabbage + asian stuff + broth + egg puff + shrimp)

Funny enough. I'm sure people think I spend hours on logging. But I store each "recipe" as a meal in my MFP. And since I'm a creature of habit and tend to repeat the same thing often, I just pop into Meals and click on the meal and the portion size. Cuz I put how many servings per recipe. So I only ate 1/2 of my Soup yesterday and I put in .5 of the meal and boom. Done!

Same thing with my dinner from our little Italian place. I can log in about 5 minutes or less per day.

Yeah, I think alot of people think it takes up too much time and effort to log, and this becomes the leading reason why they don’t. Like you, it probably takes me less than 5 minutes total per day to put everything into MFP.

...But then again, I actually love logging, so there’s that, lol.

Yesterday, Sat, Nov. 16
Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 114.9 lbs

...Had Korean BBQ for dinner with the fam, #yum. ALL meat and VEG, all time! The one downside of going to Korean BBQ is that we leave the place smelling like meat, LOL. Also, despite the recent acknowledgement by @Meryline that ice cream is the DEVIL, I proceeded to have some anyway. I kept it to 1/4 cup, but the tiredness and the runs came for a visit anyway.

10:30pm - earl grey tea w/ stevia + coffee w/ stevia

1:30pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 1 snack can Lemon Pepper tuna + 1 tbsp mayo + 1.7 oz apple + .5oz red onion

4:00pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 1.4 oz apple + 1 oz manchego cheese

6:30pm to 9:30pm - Korean BBQ: 3 oz kimchee + 1 oz pickled cucumber + .3 oz bean sprouts + 1 tbsp radish kimchee + 1/4 cup grilled veggies + 4oz grilled chicken + 2 oz grilled pork + 2oz kalbi + 2 oz Bulgolgi + 1/3 oz pork belly + 1 grilled shrimp + probably about 2 tbsp of sugar in the various marinades

12:30pm - 1 KIND bar + 3 Toffifee candies + 1/4 cup Haagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream

Totals: 1960 cals - 139g Protein - 83g NET carbs - 113g fat

PP? Premier Protein. Oh and sorry. No, it's just chocolate PP with SF Torani Peppermint Syrup and B&C PP with SF Torani pumpkin Pie Spice. I buy 2 bottles of each per year at World Market when they have them (right now). And they have to last me. LOL. Cuz generally I stay away from the SF devil and sucralose. But hey, I'm a mid-hedonist and sometimes better living through chemistry.

AND TDF! Seriously delicious.
