I just want to be proof that good ppl w/ no hidden agenda or motives still exists.
β’ reposting because i got t-
when eating, why do i aim to eat at least 10g of protein per 100kcal?
β³ this means around 40% of calorie intake is protein based
1. increased satiation: protein makes you feel fuller for longer, helping in the initial stages of fasting. reducing calorie intake, reducing curb hunger/ binging, and improving insulin sensitivity*
2. boosts metabolism: protein digestion burns more calories than digesting carbs or fats, giving you a little metabolism boost
3. preserves muscle: protein helps maintain muscle during weight loss, keeping your metabolism higher - more muscle burns more kcals, even at rest
4. helps with muscle recovery: protein supports muscle repair (and i exercise almost every day, so i need a nice recovery)
*the better your body reacts to insulin, the better it regulates blood sugar levels, preventing sugar crashes (hypoglycemia triggers hunger because your body needs a fast source of energy to recover from it, and fast sources of energy usually include carbs and sugars), so eating more protein when you do eat literally means easier fasting
today i forgot i had to see patients and took a lax, what a terrible decision π« π«
<3 is sentence concluding punctuation
it kinda worries me bc i dream of being a mother, but knowing i'm on the right path to being skinny feels so good (i'm not pregnant, there wasn't a chance but i took 2 tests anyways just to be safe lmao)
some meals i prepped: 35g of broccoli, 3 homemade chicken meatballs and 100g of pumpkin
total: 155kcal and 21g of protein each
if i won a lottery i wouldnt tell anyone but there would be signs
140g of chicken breast, 30g of tomato extract and 30g of light ricotta cream (255kcal and 43g of protein)
edit: i dont count the calories for seasonings/stuff i add for taste because if i'm only eating one meal the least i can do is make it taste good - so i used a splash of worcestershire sauce, ~1tsp of ketchup, ~1tsp of mustard, salt, garlic powder and black pepper (it tastes amazing i recommend trying this recipe π)
anyways, yesterday i got home kinda drunk and i binged HARD (800kcal + 650kcal for the drinks) so today i am focusing on >eating healthy< i'll set today's limit to 550kcal (not a goal, but a limit) and try to get 35 to 40g of protein (a goal) so i feel full
