196 calorie caesar wrap

can y’all tell i love caesar?

ingredients:

1 tbsp of caesar dressing recipe (34 calories)

1 tumaro white wrap (60 calories)

1 thin chicken breast (100 calories)

1/4 tsp of trader joes garlic salt (0 calories)

1/4 cup of romaine lettuce (2 calories)

cooking spray!

instructions:

1. wash the lettuce and set it to the side to dry

2. then, clean your chicken breast and pat dry. the cut into little cubes. once dry, put the garlic salt on your chicken.

3. turn on your stove at medium heat and put down your pan. then, oil your pan with the cooking spray.

5. heat up your wrap and then assemble!

this is so incredibly filling! i like to eat it with fruit most of the time! along with the fruit, a can of seltzer is what i like to pair with this! also, if it’s not caesar enough, you can add more dressing or add a tsp of real caesar or ranch dressing.

Tips & food I use/eat for weight-loss (long thread)

DNI IF NOT EDTUMBLR OR IN RECOVERY!!!

So i’ve gathered a lot of information and applied it to myself to lose weight and have also learned some things along the way. Here are a few tips and safe foods that have helped me lose weight :) I’ve lost 20 pounds in a little under a month doing this but i’m not guaranteeing that you’ll lose the same bc i have a higher SW!!

sorry if some are repetitive but this is just what i followed and did!

1. For starters if you want to lose weight you’ll need to count calories and calculate how many calories you body currently intakes to maintain it’s weight. To do this you’ll have to look up “calorie calculator” and then enter your information and it will show you how many calories your body needs to maintain & lose weight.

2. After doing that you have the calorie information needed to lose weight. Now as long as you count your calories and stay below the maintain calorie number you WILL lose weight no matter what.

Okay now that that’s out of the way ofc my number and the number you get will be some high number meant for normal people and normal reasonable weight loss over a period of time however I wanted fast results. So when you calculate your calories look at the extreme weight loss calorie intake for your body, this will say “to lose 2lb/week u need this many calories ___” That number is the number you will never go over until you reach ur GW.

For me, at first i made my calorie limit 1500, this means that i will never eat over that much including days i ended up bingeing or eating unhealthy. It’s a high number but that’s just my safe number. In reality i try to never go over 900 on any given day and most days try to stay in between 300-500 if i’m eating at all.

3. After setting my calorie limits i do a kind of yo-yo affect on how many calories i can eat per day, it’s never the same. I pre plan how many calories i’m allowed that day ex.: 300 and that way i know what i can make for food and eat that day to stay within my deficit.

an example of my week with no fasting would look like this

S: 700 M: 500 T: 300 W: 300 Th:500 F: 800 S:600

And if i was fasting it would look like this

S:900 M:700 T:500 W:Fast Th:200 F:400 S:700

* important to note is that you don’t want to eat like 1800-2k calories and fast the next day otherwise you won’t be able to do it!! You have to ease yourself and gradually lower your calorie intake for fasting days to make it easier. You could also have like 700-1k a day before a fast and be fine and personally might prove to be better in the long run because you’ve fueled your body with food for your fast so you won’t faint or be fatigued. I try to eat a higher calorie intake the day before when i do 2+ day fasts.

4. Once you’ve set your calorie schedule, STICK TO IT!!! That is the only way you’ll see results, if you want to have something unhealthy or binge or whatever okay fine do it BUT STAY WITHIN UR CALORIE LIMIT!!!

So it’s not like you haveee to eat healthy but it helps since healthy food has low calories. If you’re really craving something, eat it within ur calorie deficit. Just don’t go overboard and feel bad and then binge on like 800 calories worth of chocolate that’s silly. The chocolate will be there when you’re skinny.

5. ONLY DRINK WATER!!!! 2-4 LITRES A DAY!!! Obviously everyone says this but like seriously, just drink your fucking water. Personally i’ve always only ever drank water my whole life bc i don’t like other drinks since they’re too sugary and it feels gross in my mouth when i drink pop or something. Also like drinking diet soda will not help you lose weight that’s gross it’s still sugary asf and bad for ur teeth just drink water .. water is life <3 If it’s too bland for u add fruit to it but don’t eat the fruit lol. Anyways drink water religiously and always have a HUGE water bottle on u and make sure u finish it everyday!!

6. Fasting. If you really want a quick lose it weight follow the calorie deficit schedule and incorporate fasts of however long your body can handle. Don’t immediately jump into a 5 day fast without ever having done a 2 or 3 day fast bc that’s just not going to work out …. For the first week try a 24hr fast in the middle or end of the week, for the second week try a 48 and then work ur way up to however long you’re trying to fast for. Baby steps yall!!!

7. Work out on days you have a higher calorie intake. Granted i don’t really workout much myself but I work a full time job where i’m always walking around and standing so i already burn like 1k+ calories a shift just from that, also having a job makes it easier to not eat during the day lol

- Usually if i work out it’s like leg raises or crunches in bed and i’ll just keep my legs suspended in air for like 10 min

Just don’t over work yourself when ur fasting or on a really low cal restriction !! If u feel faint eat something!! take ur vitamins !!

8. COUNT EVERY CALORIE!!!! Don’t lie to yourself and under count calories or bs like that …at the end of the day ur only lying to urself.. hold yourself accountable and be realistic!! Always look at the calories in everything you eat before you eat it and accurately add it up and see how it works into ur cal limit!

My favorite app to count calories, is this weightloss app called “lose it!” It has a bunch of pre counted caloric food so u can just look it up and add it to ur daily calories ; It also tracks your calories so you know whether or not ur staying in ur deficit and u can reflect on how many cals u at during the week and what nutrients u got from ur food!

9. DO NOT WEIGHT YOURSELF DAILY!!!!

As much of an urge you may have to weigh yourself every day and multiple times during the day, DONT!!! It’s self sabotage and will unmotivate u like of course you’re going to gain weight during the day it’s water weight and food babe, it’s going to stay there until u either piss or shit it out.

Instead try weighing yourself once or twice a week like once on monday and once on friday and you’ll see better results then and it’ll be more encouraging :)

OKAY NOW ONTO THE FOOD PORTION !

So for me i LOVEEEEEE carbs Mmmmmmm i love pastas and especially maruchan ramen which is so bad for you but i literally kid u not ate a pack like every day … its my favorite comfort food

So since i am an adult and have adult money and buy my own groceries, it’s easier for me to eat low cal food and healthier options bc i can just pick and choose and stock my house with them!

Here is a list of some foods i get

(i’ll include calories if i can remember them)

1. Shiritake noodles (10cals per serving (amazing ik))- a godsend for pasta lovers who want to lose weight; These come in different pasta shapes such as angel hair, linguini, fettuccini and it even has a rice version. My favorite is the angel hair because i substitute ramen for that and add in beef or chicken flavoring and it tastes literally the exact same!! You can also pair these with low cal pasta sauces like tomato sauce with mushrooms for a low cal spaghetti :P

2. Popcorn!!!! either skinny popcorn (150cals per 3 3/4 cup) Homemade popcorn is even LOWER in calories when u don’t add butter so just cooking that in a kettle and adding seasoning for flavor MWUAH Chefs kiss low calorie snack

3. Cucumbers- One large cucumber has about 45 calories total and you get sooo much food from it when u slice it thinly or even slicing the slices into quarters which what i like to do bc it tricks my brain into thinking i have more food! Cucumbers are kind of bland on their own so to spice it up i add squeezes of lime all over my cucumbers and top it off with mexican dressing tajín (this helps with my salty sour crunchy cravings) And the lime juice and tajin have practically no calories so i never count them when i add it on

4. Veggie straw chips, they come in either sticks or in wavy chip forms, they taste pretty good to me and they’re rlly low calorie, i forgot the brand but there’s different ones

5. Cauliflower pretzels! They’re low in calories and i like to pair this with kaukuana cheese spread (55 cals per tbsp) melted (to mimic pretzels w cheese bc i love soft pretzels w cheese)

6. Miso soup! Miso soup is super easy to make and low in calories and always tastes yummy

7. bean sprouts- 10cals per serving can replace pasta and is good stir fried w seasonings and sauces

8. Cauliflower- u can get cauliflower rice, cauliflower buffalo wings, cauliflower anything it’ll taste good and is low cal

* main take away is to eat high volume low calorie foods to feel full while staying in ur deficit !

general tips

- eat slow

- small portions

- 10k steps a day

- eat ice & gum to stop cravings & chug water

- get at least 8hrs of sleep a day

- cut out greasy, sugary, high fat foods

- watch wieiad, mukbangs, or ed tiktok compilations on youtube to distract yourself

- look at whatever spo motivates u

Andddd i’m going to stop right here before i make it too long lol lmk if u guys want more stuff like this in the future

175 calorie pizza zucchini

1 zucchini, sliced - 30 calories

Salt to taste

1/3 cup tomato sauce - 60 calories

1/4 cup mozerella cheese - 85 calories

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Slice zucchini, and use a paper towel to lightly dry slices. Sprinkle with salt.

Arrange on a non stick (or sprayed) cooking sheet. Top zucchini slices with 1 tsp of sauce and a sprinkle of cheese (go easy on the sauce. Too much sauce will keep the zucchini soggy instead of crisping up in the oven.

Bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese it melted.

Turn oven to broil. Broil zucchini until cheese is lightly brown (keep an eye on it, it browns pretty fast and you don't want it to burn)

Lie: “I’m alone.”

Truth: “The Lord is always with me.” (Zephaniah 3:17, Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 28:20)

Lie: “Nothing good lasts forever.”

Truth: “God is forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, Revelation 1:8, Malachi 3:6)

Lie: “My life is pointless, and my future is uncertain.”

Truth: “I have a part to play in God’s plan.” (1 Corinthians 2:9, Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5-6)

Lie: “No one loves the real me.”

Truth: “God loves me more than I could ever fathom.” (John 3:16, Romans 5:8, 1 John 4:19)

Lie: “No one hears me cry or understands my pain.”

Truth: “God hears me and He will carry me through this pain if I let Him.” (Exodus 3:7-8, Revelation 21:4, and Proverbs 3:5-6)

Lie: “I am disgusting.”

Truth: “I am made in the image of the Good God who lives in me.” (1 Corinthians 6:19, Psalm 139:13-14, and Ephesians 2:10)

Lie: “Bad things keep happening to me so God has abandoned me.”

Truth: “There is always good to be found in my life, and God has never and will never leave me.” (James 1:17, Psalm 139:7-12, and Matthew 7:11)

Lie: “God doesn’t speak to me. God isn’t real.”

Truth: “God has given me the Bible as a tool to use. I must seek Him.” (Psalm 119:105, James 5:13-15, and Luke 11:9-10)

Don’t listen to the lies Satan whispers into your ear. He wants you to fail. He wants you to turn to the world or into yourself, not to God. God is good. God loves you. God is truth and love. God will save you if you let Him. Open your Bible and pray and He will direct your path. 🙌✝️

[uncloseted]

What type of videos do you like watching on youtube?

I mostly watch philosophy/cultural criticism videos (Contrapoints, PhilosophyTube, Khadija Mbowe, Tee Noir, Mia Mulder) and ASMR videos (Goodnight Moon ASMR, Latte ASMR, Atlas ASMR, Gibi ASMR, ASMR Glow, Silver Hare, Springbok ASMR). I'm especially in love with Goodnight Moon ASMR's Personal Assistant/Valley Girl character. I never really understood having a crush on a fictional character until I saw those videos 😂

Other channels I like are Lisa Eldridge, Jenny Mustard, Jessica Kellgren-Fozard, and Stevie Boebi. I love Savannah Brown and Tessa Violet's videos as well, but more their old ones (I think they both shaped my personality in ways I can't quite describe). I also like aesthetic Korean and Japanese lifestyle vlogs (ondo온도, 꿀키honeykki, 해그린달 haegreendal, Namiのくらし, Mocha, 오눅onuk, 코지데이 CozyDay) although I don't watch them as much as I used to and I'd like to get back into them.

I also really miss the vibe of like, like, 2012-2015 beauty and lifestyle vloggers, before that space became so commercialized. it felt so authentic and like you were hanging out with a friend, which is something I feel like I don't see anymore.

If you have suggestions for channels you think I might like, please send them my way! I'm always looking for new content and I'm kind of bored with my current rotation.

[uncloseted]

i feel like so much of the media i consume is dark or disturbing or gruesome and it's not good for my mental health and can sometimes be triggering for me, do you know of any feel-good, positive, funny or uplifting piece of media like podcasts, tv shows, or youtubers?:)

I've got you! I pretty much only watch positive or feel-good content lately. The world is just too dark and I don't need to seek more darkness out. Here are a few suggestions I could think of off the top of my head. Everyone feel free to suggest others!

TV

Ted Lasso- an optimistic, upbeat American football coach is hired to manage an English football team. Pretty much the most uplifting, funny, and positive show you could imagine.

Adventure Time- brothers Finn the Human and Jake the Dog battle evil in the fantasy land of Ooo. This show starts off very silly, but then becomes profound and life-affirming very quickly.

Community- a quirky sitcom about a study group at a community college. Hijinks ensue.

The Good Place- a woman wakes up in heaven only to realize she doesn't belong there. This show is hilarious but also has a really great message about what it means to live a good life.

Keep Your Hands off Eizouken- an anime in which a trio of schoolgirls start an anime production club. Even if you don't like anime, this show will convince you to love it. It's very uplifting and the girls' imagination and passion is contagious. This is one of my favorite shows ever to be made.

Schitt's Creek- a sitcom where a super rich family goes bankrupt and moves to a rural small town in Canada. Hilarious, but also very feel-good.

Derry Girls- a sitcom where the Derry Girls attempt to navigate teenage life in 1990s Derry, Northern Ireland. Given the setting it seems like this show couldn't possibly be funny or feel-good, but it's one of the few shows that consistently makes me laugh out loud. It has its tearjerker moments and it does those well. There have been episodes that have made me feel truly hopeful for the future of the world. But for the most part it's just fun.

Terrace House- a Japanese dating show where nothing happens. Three men and three women live in a house together, but then leave to go to work, hang out with their friends, and just do day to day things. It's somehow incredibly addictive and calming at the same time.

Space Dandy- an anime about the adventures of a "dandy guy in space who combs the galaxy like his pompadour on the hunt for aliens. Planet after planet he searches, discovering bizarre new creatures both friendly and not." This show is ridiculous in the best possible way.

Rilakkuma and Kaoru- a stop motion anime about Rilakkuma, a lazy stuffed bear, and Karou, an anxious human office worker. This show is very pure, sweet, and endearing.

Books

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet- this is the book I'm reading right now. It follows a space crew of aliens on their journey across the galaxy. The vibes are very comforting and it's kind of about the meaning of family.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy- when Arthur Dent's home is destroyed to make way for an intergalactic highway, he unwillingly gets swept up on a search for the legendary planet of Magrathea. Hitchhiker's Guide is a classic series that's very funny and sometimes absurd.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared- this is exactly what it sounds like it would be. Allan Karlsson is a hundred year old man who climbs out the window of his nursing home and disappears. It's a funny, passionate adventure about appreciating and enjoying life.

The House in the Cerulean Sea- Linus Baker is a depressed social worker in the Department in Charge of Magical Youth. When he is sent to evaluate the Marsyas orphanage for magical children, he discovers what's important in life. Very uplifting and life affirming.

Movies

Amelie- a quirky, socially awkward Parisian waitress secretly helps the people in her life while trying to work up the courage to talk to the man she's fallen in love with. It inspired me to want to do random acts of kindness for other people and it has great vibes.

Howl's Moving Castle- pretty much any Studio Ghibli movie has good vibes, but Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite. A woman cursed with rapid aging becomes a housekeeper to a narcissistic young magician. I would live in this movie if I could.

Night is Short, Walk on Girl- Night is Short follows Otome, a university student on a never-ending night out in Kyoto, and Senpai, the boy who is in love with her from afar. Before the night ends, they encounter criminal thugs, treacherous gods, and harebrained schemes, and drink a whole lot of alcohol. Whenever I'm feeling down, this is my go-to movie that I watch.

YouTubers

Purple Palace- Shayna is an American visual artist who lives in Paris. Her videos are inspiring and feel like hanging out with your most supportive friend.

Damon Dominique- a travel YouTuber. I don't watch him as much as I used to, but his videos often take a kind of philosophical or spiritual bend, and it's a lot of fun to see all the different places he visits.

ondo온도 - a super calming, low-key Korean lifestyle vlog channel

Mocha- a super calming, low-key Japanese lifestyle vlog channel

Goodnight Moon ASMR- if you don't like ASMR, this probably won't be for you, but this is my go-to ASMR channel for when I need a boost. Erin does an incredible job with props, costumes, sets, and storylines. I especially like her Valley Girl character, who manages to be hilarious and super calming at the same time.
