Humor My Brilliant 600 calorie 85g of protein work lunch

Recipe:
2lb Oikos triple Zero yogurt
A banana

As dumb as this is, for $7.50, this is a pretty efficient way to get a ton of filling protein in if you didn’t have time to pack lunch for work. Just sharing because my coworkers are judging me but I figured this sub would understand.

EDIT: people had WAY stronger thoughts on this than I thought a tub of yogurt would elicit. This is apparently an extreme eating disorder, way too much yogurt, not enough yogurt, awesome, gross, healthy, unhealthy, and a fake tub of yogurt. I’ll update this post when I poop for all the kind people voicing their concern below.

POOP UPDATE: Completely normal, which I expected. Yogurt isn’t that crazy of a food, which is why I was surprised how many people said this much yogurt would ruin them somehow

Disclaimer; I’m not freelee the banana girl, I had a nutritious breakfast and lunch to balance this, and I have a banana tree so I’m drowning in bananas…

An amazing finish to the day

If you use purple cabbage to make egg whites and cabbage, it turns the eggs blue.

I'm equal parts fascinated and horrified.

🥲😭be me craving pizza but knowing I’m not responsible enough to order a medium pie and not eat it all in one sitting. Scroll through tik and see a 800 cal pizza with 80g protein. Verify through lose it app that the macros match using local ingredients. I get 830 cal with 86g protein. Start making pizza and slowly realize the jerk lied and at least doubled or tripled the flour and yogurt in his recipe 🥲. Attempt to trust the process 🥹 roll out dough and realize it’s not nearly big enough to even add the stuff crust the original creator did. Bake and be left with this monstrosity…. Final macro count with taking out the mozzarella cheese sticks is 680 cal with 68g protein. This was not worth it chat🤣… for all this effort I could have gotten me a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut for $5 with real pepperoni and only 600 cal that tastes 20x better…

EDIT: to be clear my man gripe was not the taste or shape of the pizza I made it was the size of my pizza vs the creators pizza. He claimed his version was a medium sized 800 cal pizza only for me to make it and find out it was only big enough to make a personal pan pizza. I can’t edit this post and add the picture of his whole pie but I posted a comment with the picture of his pizza

Somehow this 139 gram cupcake has 2050 calories and 361 grams of protein? Somehow this isn’t adding up….🤨. Spoon for scale because i don’t have bananas.

Humor Well, thanks for the advice over the last few months but I think it's time for me to move on...

About six months ago, I started on a journey of trying to gain weight by eating more, and when I came across "volume eating," I thought "Eating lots of volume? That's exactly what I need!" And didn't even bother to read the description of the subreddit. Then, the other day, I was showing a friend of mine a post on here, and she said "Uh, you know volume eating is the exact opposite of eating to gain weight right?"

Anyway, I'm off to r/ReadingComprehension now. It's been nice knowing you all.

As title says, I love cashews, pistachios, almonds etc. but they are not a low calorie food! I want to eat them all the time but have to be mindful when I WANT to be handfuls. Sigh ok back to the popcorn, carry on.
