my safe foods
1. apples - 95kcal, I cut them up into tiny pieces to take longer
2. bananas - 105kcal (over 100 but is only 0.39g of fat and full of healthy nutrients)
3. avocados - 80kcal per ¼ of a whole avocado, high in fat but it’s mostly unsaturated and also is really good to have a little of when eating under 400kcal a day to get in daily nutrients
4. honey - 70kcal per 1 serving (1 tablespoon), I eat this with my apples or bananas– it is high in sugar though
5. cucumbers - 45kcal is one whole cucumber, I usually eat ¼ (about 11kcal) of a cucumber a day and slice them up really thin
6. celery - 6kcals in a whole stick, I eat a stick every day that I don’t eat cucumbers– sometimes eat it with peanut butter if I’m counting it as a full meal
7. peanut butter - 188kcal per serving size (2 tablespoons), I usually eat half of the serving size (1 tablespoon), which is 94kcal, with celery or apple slices
8. eggs - 78kcal per one whole egg, I never eat them without the yolk like I know lots of other anas do, I always have them scrambled with some pepper or cheese
9. cheddar cheese - 113kcals per one slice, a bit high in calories but I eat this with apple slices or on my egg for a <200kcal breakfast most days; fun fact: the lowest cal common cheese is Swiss, but it’s still over 100kcal so I usually just stick with cheddar
10. scones - a small blueberry scone is usually only 50kcal
11. peanut butter cookies - most kinds of cookie are actually under 100kcal, I just know how to make peanut butter cookies the best so I eat them the most often
12. bacon - 43kcal per 1 slice, I need to get my protein in
13. beef jerky - usually between 70 and 90kcal a serving, again just trying to get some meat in my system
14. ICE sparkling drink - 0kcal, I don’t like the taste of Diet Coke, green tea, or black coffee and I don’t like all the chemicals in energy drinks like Monster of Bang so I drink like five ICE drinks a day, they taste really good for sparkling water I swear
15. Wrigley’s gum - sugerfree, one stick has 5kcal
This whole list is basically all the foods I ever eat, when I restrict really low it’s super important to me that I’m still getting my daily intake of as many different nutrients as I can, and my family is really into organic/Whole Foods type stuff anyway so that’s mostly what I eat.
When I’m restricting a lot I’ll usually eat one meal per day of a few things that aren’t on this list:
-1 mini bagel (125) with 2 tablespoons of cream cheese (110), 2 slices of deli turkey (58), and ¼ of an avocado (80). total: 373kcal
-1 banana (105) and 1 apple (95) sliced in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of honey (70). total: 270
-2 small slices of sourdough bread (160) with 1 tablespoon each of honey (70) and peanut butter (94). total: 324
(the last two meals don’t have a lot of protein so I might also eat a little bit of beef jerky (70-90kcal) and for the very last one I would eat ¼ of a cucumber (11kcal) at some point in the day as well)
