Cravings and what they mean

If you crave carbohydrates, your serotonin levels may have dropped. Eggs, cheese and pineapple are good for raising them again.

If you crave sugar, you may be dehydrated. Drink some water or green tea.

If you crave red meat, you may be deficient in iron. Eat dried fruits like figs or prunes, or beans and legumes, or take iron tablets.

If you crave dairy, your blood sugar levels may be low. Eat foods naturally high in glucose, like oranges or strawberries to raise them.

If you crave chocolate, your magnesium levels may be low. Eat brown rice, whole grain bread or spinach to raise them.

If you crave salt, your blood pressure may be low. Eat salted nuts, whole wheat pretzels, or drink salted water to raise it. If that doesn’t work, you may be dehydrated. Drink water or green tea. 

If you crave bread, your nitrogen levels may be low. Eat turkey, black beans or brown rice to raise them. 

If you crave fried foods, you may be fatigued. Eat slow energy releasing foods like bananas or whole grain bread, or take a nap.

Here's the scientific formula to work out how many calories you burned while exercising:

Duration of the exercise (minutes) ×MET of the activity×your weight (kg) ×3.5

Then you divide the answer of the above calculations by 200

The MET is the metabolic equivalent of the exercise you're doing, so Google the METs of the exercise you're doing and sub the number into the formula

Here's an example of an hour of intense boxing:

60×7.8×53.3×3.5= 87 305,4

87 305,4 ÷ 200= 436 calories burned

Here's a link to a website that lists the METs of different activities:

Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) values are a way to estimate how many calories are burned during a specific physical activity, according

just made a HUGE ASS bowl of what is essentially savory rice soup for 206 cals!

I used: 100g rice (152), 1 tbsp of white miso paste (35), 30g onion (12) and 35g celery (6) as well as about 4 cups of water (0 obviously lol)

What I did was combine these ingredients, add some garlic salt (0), some ginger (0) and some lime juice (0), and boiled it for probably about 45 mins with the lid on, stirring it occasionally. The rice absorbed a lot of broth and essentially became savory rice pudding lol! It's kinda a lot of cals but if you're looking for a nice savory filling dinner then this could be nice :) plus you can make it have less cals if you use stock instead of miso, less rice, different veggies, etc.

If you try it let me know if you like it! :D

Egg drop soup for the Soul

Yo homemade egg drop soup is fuckin bomb.

1 ½ cup chicken broth (or a bouillon cube. May effect nutrition facts slightly)

½ tsp soy sauce

½ tsp sesame oil

2 eggs, beaten

A tiny bit of garlic powder

Just bring the broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder to a boil, drizzle the beaten eggs in while stirring, let it cook a minute, and then bam! Delicious and nutritious! It’s approx. 224 calories, less than 10g carbohydrates, AND has a whopping 15g of protein which is super good for you! It takes less than 10 minutes to make, and you don’t have to eat it all in one sitting, but it’s not a huge setback if you do.

I just stress ate my ass off but because it feels and tastes so rich, even mini-bingeing I couldn’t get through the whole thing. And because now I have some healthy fats in me, I didn’t even touch the box of chocolate my mom got me which was my initial target.

Tl;dr: Easy. Nutritious. Curbs cravings. Hella tasty. Try it.
