[petalthin]

so... i’m not dead

i’ve just been busy. like, extremely busy for maybe a year...? this is just gonna be my safe space to rant about little things and stuff, maybe the occasional low calorie recipe - for now, i’m restricting to 800-1200 calories a day plus exercise :) 

i loved today’s dinner, so i’m definitely writing a recipe down for it soon!

[petalthin]

so i’ve been away

studies are getting to me so i probably won’t be super present here >< i’ll try to be more active after my exams but good news!! i’ve lost some weight and i’m happy with the results! i’m closer to my goal weight as the days pass.

[petalthin]

got into an argument w my family over a fucking blanket. im seriously considering moving out in december when im 18, everyone in this house fucking hates me

[petalthin]

i have an idea for low calorie bread... hm

[petalthin]

274 calorie tuna pasta

this is REALLY filling for me, you could definitely split it into two meals worth under 150cal each!! you could definitely replace the tuna with mushrooms for a vegetarian option. the sun dried tomato is optional, but i like it because of its strong flavour! 

ingredients (serves 1-2 depending on your portion size)

50g pasta

18g capsicum - 5~cal

1/6 can light tuna - 41cal

4tbsp marinara sauce or dressing of choice - 32cal

optional: 1 sun dried tomato - 20 cal 

salt and pepper to taste

total: 274cal – you can cut this down by using less sauce or using lighter/low calorie dressing.

>boil pasta in water with a pinch of salt until al dente, typically i don’t rinse my pasta but it is to your preference.

>cut the sun dried tomato into small pieces

>in nonstick pan, add capsicum and pan fry till slightly soft.

>drain the tuna and add into the pan with pasta sauce and tomatoes

>toss your pasta into the pan and serve! i like to add chilli flakes or cayenne pepper to give it an extra kick.

Low cal soup 🥣

Super flavorful! It's nice when you need something that has a taste to it and you don't want to eat.

Recipe 🥣🍲🍜

1 tablespoon soy sauce (15)

1 teaspoon siracha (0)

Water (0)

Salt (0)

-optional-

Whole spring of green onion (5)

Medium mushroom (4)

Boil and combine!

Honestly this is one of my favorite things to have when I'm restricting, it tastes super yummy!!! (The chili in the siracha boosts your metabolism too 😉) I know soy sauce is salty already, but I think it tastes better with just a pinch.

man this mocha is literally going to make me clean out my insides and i’m only halfway done ;w; 

[petalthin]

22 calorie mocha

for those of us who can’t live without our flavoured coffees! it’s a bit on the bitter side but it’s nothing a little sweetener can’t fix. 

1 tsp instant coffee - 7 cal

1/2 tbsp cocoa powder - 5 cal

1/2 tbsp evaporated milk - 10 cal

sweetener to taste

add in a mug and top with hot water. to make an iced drink, add a small amount of hot water, mix, add some cold water and top with ice. for a spicier drink, you can add some cinnamon powder.

you can substitute evaporated milk with skimmed milk for a lower calorie drink, i just used what i had on hand!

[petalthin]

1 note = +1 hour to my water fast tomorrow!

please help me stay on task tomorrow !! i’ll try to update hourly too ~

let’s do this together!!

[petalthin]

i’ll probably start working on low-calorie dessert recipes soon! i’ve been having a really strong craving for sweets :(

[petalthin]

♡ (somewhat) low calorie quinoa salad ♡

i had this for lunch and let me tell you it is super filling and tastes so good! personally i only use mixed lettuce leaves because i dislike rocket. you don’t have to use a full half chicken breast or follow the exact measurements imo, i was struggling to finish it already!! 

ingredients -

3/4 cup mixed salad leaves (45 calories)

1/4 cup cooked quinoa (50 calories)

60g chicken breast (100 calories) – you can use a vegan alternative such as tofu or fake meat as well. i love swapping chicken in salads for pan-fried tofu!

optional: 1-2 tbsp salad dressing (mine was ~60 calories, you don’t have to use dressing!)

total excluding dressing: 195 calories

> season the chicken breast with spices of your choice (i used cayenne, paprika, some pepper and a touch of salt) and cut into cubes

> use a non-stick pan and cook for 3-5 minutes each side or until brown (i don’t use oil! you can if you’d like to)

> make sure the insides are cooked before removing the chicken from heat

mix together the chicken, pre-measured salad and quinoa and there you have it! this is my first recipe, i hope you like it ><

stay safe my lovelies~
