Where's the Beef?

[FLglpguy]

I've been making the most amazing salads over the past 8weeks of my journey with Peps. No beef, no pork, just chicken every now and then and raw fruits and veggies. Let's get a thread going...what are you guys eating? PICS PLEASE!

 

[eidos]

I'm going to eat ratatouille this evening.

More seriously, is it “Hong Kong Fu Fu,” the king of kung fu? How do you call him in your country?

 

[Collo4sho]

Beef, pork, chicken, eggs, and occasionally green beans or above ground vegetable. My wife is disabled so I have to do the cooking which I'm not very good at. I pray before we eat, she prays after we eat.

OMG!!! How are you losing any weight? If I ate like this I would remain a Fat-Bastard forever!

No pic sadly, but I just drove 40 miles to get some good bbq. Worth every mile, yum.

What's wild is that doesn't even look good to me, the noise suppression is real.
This doesn't feel normal. 🤔

My second husband was the kind of guy who would send out daily pictures of his lunch to the group chat. Friend of mine would write "Graham, I am begging you to eat a vegetable. Any vegetable."

My SO has a list of "edible vegetables" that you can count on one hand!

 

[Skidude]

And the occasional steak!!




I do love to cook, and on maintenance I do indulge the occasional meal, just not 3x a day, and not everyday! 😛

Do the jalapeños not count because they’re a fruit?😂

Same for pickles, I expect

 

[Stace_wow]

I am on the cottage cheese train so hard right now…and the ‘Pickle your own veggies’ train too.

I try to eat some kind of lean meat everyday, but cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are so easy to get down for me….

I grow tired of salads quickly so I have to save them for special dinners or make them bean salads with no lettuce! I do love me some crunchy raw veggies, but have you ever had a homemade pickled carrot stick? Divine.

My Dad's idea of 2 side vegetables was mac n cheese and mashed potatoes

I do see sides there, limes, pickles, peppers!

Fuel that fire! 70lb down in 200 days, .35lb/day, running a ~1100 calorie deficit.

In the 40lb I lost from 1/30 to 6/3 DEXA says I lost less than 2lb of lean mass.

 

[reta-stacker]

Lotsa different legumes, brown rice, eggs cottage cheese, yogurt, canned tuna/salmon/sardines, chicken breast, chicken liver, spring onions, celery, yellow/red peppers, carrots, parsnips. With food noise fully quelled by reta, I don't crave sweets, chocolate, chips, fast/junk food, processed food or alcohol, so sticking to protein-rich food hasn;t required much or any discipline on my part.

 

[Skidude]

In all fairness, I did a lot of salad when on deficit. My daily average target 1200 kcal.

THE LOW CAL/LOW FAT food-
I also made a LOT of "faux" shrimp and chicken gumbo (no roux and just a touch of quinoa) forgive the tomatoes... not on my non-diet recipe.

If that's calamari, yum.

 

[spanky2026]

We don't need no stinkin' veggies!

 

[BNLFL]

They're great steamed, yummy.

 

[woundcarping]

If that's calamari, yum.

Indeed it was, although it wasn’t my favorite.

That reminded me of the local place where I prefer it. Don’t have a picture of it but this is my entree there:

Another tasty meal:




Birria my assistant made:

King crap and corn, damn good stuff.

Eggs in a basket grilled cheese with turkey and ketchup with slices of cucumber and tomato

Egg everything bagel with eggs, turkey, cheese, and ketchup

Sushi bake


Banana chocolate chip muffins


Chopped salad with cucumber, red/yellow/orange/green bell pepper, red onion, chickpeas, black beans, cottage cheese, the leftover quinoa salad from breakfast, chicken, and steak. (Turns out the steak was a mistake I'm allergic again. 😭 )

I'm supposed to be on a strict high fiber diet so I have been doing a shit ton of cowboy caviar.
