POST YOUR FOOD PICS !!!

That steak looks cooked just right. It must taste great.

I try to cook it that way whenever I can. Here are a few more examples from the past month.

Without the medication those pictures would make me hungry.

When the first two pictures were taken I was on 20 mg a week of one medication and a quarter mg a week of another. You still have to eat something.

That plate looks really wholesome. What exactly is on it?

Did you finish the whole thing?

No chance. I think I will split it into portions and vacuum seal them.

Do not forget your friends. I need to make one again too.

He cuts the steak right in the middle and eats the center first. That is a solid method a lot of people do not know about.

If you enjoy smoked salmon, this one would be amazing. I have never had anything quite like it.

Tonight I had steak again, plus what was left of my nine-year-old’s after I cut it up and we ate some straight from the board. I also started mine from the center but did not take a split photo.

That is some serious gallbladder medicine right there.

Most mornings I start with two protein shakes for 60 g protein and 360 calories. Today my daughter made me two biscuits with grape jelly instead. The steak was about 13 oz plus a few more ounces from hers, roughly 1100 calories and 83 g protein. I also had 350 calories of apples and caramel snacks. Total came to around 2300 calories, which is close to maintenance or a small deficit. I dropped from 282 lb to 200 lb over 34 weeks. I let the dose drop for eleven days then restarted lower before moving back up. My lowest recently was 196 lb with a goal near 180 lb.

That is solid progress. I am currently at 2050 calories in a strict deficit. You have a nice variety there.

Sounds great and tasty. I just could not fit that much food. Not a complaint, just surprised.

I kept an average 1100 to 1200 calorie daily deficit across those 34 weeks. Scans helped estimate lean mass needs. The lower dose helps now, but the bigger factor was years of stretching my stomach from an undiagnosed swallowing issue that made me drink huge amounts of liquid with meals. After diagnosis and treatment the problem stopped, which has been a relief.

Same here. I really need to increase how much I eat. I can hardly manage anything and nothing tastes good right now.

Are those eggs or potatoes? It looks tasty. All the meals here look good, though I am surprised how heavy some breakfasts seem. I am not sure I could eat that much and then work out.
