@regalada_llaga @choiminhodiet I wish the adults in my life had done that, so when I talk to kids about food, I hope to plant some sort of seed early!

@regalada_llaga @choiminhodiet Kids are smart, and they absorb things much more than adults give them credit for. Approaching it from a “Bodies are SO cool, let’s talk about how food fuels us!” perspective, takes the fear-mongering and diet culture out of the picture.

my younger cousin is starting to innocently ask about calories and nutrition, she ate seaweed today and noticed it only had 10 calories and told me. i tried to keep it neutral & said yes that means it just doesn’t give you a lot of energy, that’s why a lot of people +

@choiminhodiet Of course! You can even talk about macros: Carbohydrates: our brains use for FAST energy. Proteins: get broken down into blocks/Legos that our body needs to repair itself and grow! Fats: help us absorb vitamins, protect our organs, and because they’re SO complex, we stay full!

@soupcals that’s exactly what i was trying to do. thank you so much 🫂

@choiminhodiet Keep it scientific. A calorie is just how much energy the food gives us. We all need energy to run, jump, and play. Some food has LOTS of vitamins for our brains and muscles, and not so much energy; some food has LOTS of energy but not as much vitamins to help us grow. Balance!

but i really don’t know how to navigate this and im so scared she’s gonna end up restricting her food

@pslcals1 Yeah, you’ll be fine.

Uhh so like..would i be ok to try a chaga/reishi brownie since I'm on prozac? Google says no but I can't find any reliable sources or studies about interactions. Google says blood thinning, interactions with kidney and liver functions and possibly affects on serotonin.

This is how I feel being on edtwt as a 25 yr old trans man when everyone else is a 16 yr old girl

mango smoothie bowl with berries and granola

was just trying to look up that narnia meme but i forgot they lobotomized google

@blackberrycals @dietsodalover Agreed! I would track fiber and protein only, while focusing on minimizing salt or added sugar if those are issues for you

i probably shouldn’t be counting calories in recovery but how else would i count my macros and i feel like calorie counting isnt really my issue

psa there is no ed hierarchy and u don’t get brownie points for not struggling with food noise thank u

@localssonly @dedgirlwalking0 Really weird to be a grown man interacting with mentally ill children.

@dedgirlwalking0 That’s far from a burger bowl, love. It looks like a shitty unseasoned bowl that taste like shit. It would be better to just give this to the house cat or dog

i love making burger bowls bc wdym this is 182 cal

Like wow, thanks brain for making me MOURN my life as it is and cry in my dreams for 8 hours.

You ever have a dream you have to emotionally recover from?? Mine last night was being told I need a radical hysterectomy and then maybe chemo, as my biopsy came back suspicious for ovarian cancer. I kept crying about school, needing to take time off, fertility, everything
