updated edtwt intro! would love moots! cw: 115lbs/52kg gw: 105 lbs/48kg 5’5”/165cm 20 + american

my dog just pulled my bagel thins off the counter and ate ONE bagel thin out of the seven left I’ve given bro an ed too

high protein low cal buffalo chicken dip! so good on its own but you can also get a low carb tortilla and cut it into chips and put them in the oven until they’re crispy - 200 cals, 32.9g protein for the dip (recipe in alt 🫶)

@deerlycals I only add cals to things when I think the company would have a reason to lie about the actual cals (diet stuff like halo top). I add 20% to the listed cals, but everything else I just trust for my sanity

knowing you can never track calories with 100% accuracy even with a scale

@sebvanilla honestly being able to go out with my friends and get drunk… alc has so many cals 💔

edtwt, what is the thing you miss the most abt ur life before u became disordered??

@bammbammgyuu @lacesouI sometimes I “plan” a fake binge when I’m getting binge cravings. Ik it’s not acc a binge but I’ll restrict more heavily during the day and then have a pint of halo top (290 cals) and either a bagel thin (110 cals) or a bag of Cheeto puffs (140 cals) and it feels like a binge

i genuinely dont understand how people PLAN their binges. my binge genuinely is like “ oh ill just have this one small thing and nothing else. nope i wont have anything else. “ three hours later im 8k cals in and i snap back to reality like wtf did i just do. HOW DO YALL PLAN IT?

does anyone else want to eat “normally” but like you don’t even know what that looks like anymore

*hypomanic

does anyone else kind of like being manic sometimes?

@Leavemeaal86321 @neuropsyfreak oh my god sometimes I feel like this is me like what do normal eating habits even look like? what does a normal meal look like?

@neuropsyfreak Fr me i wanna recover but idk how to its a thin line for me between eating normally and binging

do i just give up

why does my meal look British?

@dairymaxxing @honeylbs wait when I’ve been making Mac and cheese I’ve literally just been weighing out like a quarter of the box and a quarter of the cheese powder and then making like one serving size. Idk if that works for you but that’s what I do!!

@claire_counting @honeylbs i just don't know how well it would work for mac and cheese ao my current solution is to either make room for a full box or get single serving cups

do yall have fear foods and what are they?? for me its oil, nuts 💔 and food with unknown cals

@dairymaxxing @honeylbs omg wait try freezing it! I literally freeze sm shit, like I literally freeze bread, and it’s suchhhh a hack

@honeylbs leftovers. i just hate leftover food. it makes me feel trapped. i'm okay with spending 200 cals per slice of pizza or smth but i hate having slices of pizza that i feel like i need to incorporate into my diet daily for the next few days or else it'll go bad immediately

@hyuncalss These are my personal calorie counts for those three meals if that helps too :)

@hyuncalss baked potato w a can of tuna mixed w mayo + Siracha + maybe half a slice of cheese on top, ground turkey with a bit of tomato sauce + some peas topped with mashed potato (make your own w a lil kefir and no butter), rice mixed w canned tuna, mayo, Siracha, + soy sauce w a cucumber

it’s so hard to come up with lowcal dinner options

this is also a good hack because carrots don’t go bad if they’re not in the fridge for a few hours, so if you do resist the urges you can just put them back and you’re not wasting food!

Okay my new hack for when I really think I’m going to binge is i get a bag of carrots from the fridge and take them to my room, and I still try to resist the binge urges and not eat anything but if I do fail I go for the carrots first because I’m too lazy to leave my bed

I hate how eating makes me feel physically better… like wdym I actually have energy and my anxiety is better now that I’ve eaten

if I’m going to my friends house to have wine, how can I tell exactly how much wine I’m having? This is serious please I supposed to be leaving in twenty minutes

@smiskieater omg no bc I’m American and I’m studying in Europe rn and when I first got here I realized just how good I have it in America with all the low cal protein products (although I have discovered this protein mousse that’s super good that I haven’t seen in America)

Americans pmo u guys have so many low cal snacks and foods ughhhhh

@swiftlyfasting A jacket potato w/ canned tuna mixed w/ mayo and Siracha w/ half a slice of cheddar cheese melted on top (with a 150g potato it comes out to just under 250 and 20g protein) or a knockoff Shepards pie (90g ground turkey w/ 50g frozen peas and tomato sauce topped w/ mashed potato)

guys quick give me 2-3 PROPER non suspicious looking meals under 800c, help a girl out
