What I Ate on a BUSY DAY (VEGAN) + How I Count My Calories

[@cupofcozy708]

For everyone watching, especially those who are healing from an ED or may get easily triggered by counting calories or macros, remember counting calories isn't for everyone! I have found a healthy balance for myself by doing calorie cycling, most days I eat at a deficit (because I want to lose some fat) and other days I'll eat at my maintenance or at a surplus. Has helped tremendously along with exercise, and when I haven't been able to exercise from chronic chest strain!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

Agreed! Definitely not for everybody!

[@gabriellagrafakos5521]

I actually thought about this when downloading My Fitness Pal. I’m naturally petite and very short. I have social anxiety and things started getting worse at the end of high school and it affected my eating. (Years later I self diagnosed myself with ARFID) I downloaded the app a few years ago to track my calories and see how much I needed to gain to be at the “healthy” weight for my size. The app told the weight information I put in was incorrect and wouldn’t let me go forward. I thought damn that’s weird because the weight I input was there on the wheel. It made me feel worse about myself. I also thought this isn’t inclusive for people that have EDs and are trying to recover (idk if people with ED would even try to track calories for weight gain but that was just a random thought) I after years of going to the doctor and my blood work being fine and the fact that I have a regular mensural cycle. I realized I’m fine and it’s okay for me to be skinny/petite. Now I’m three months pregnant and the baby is growing healthy.

[@codexone2194]

Rose, I would like you to know that you taught me how to structure my meals. I have your cookbooks and for a while, all I ate was your recipes. When I graduated to other recipes, I structered my meals to your recipes. You helped me recover from my binge ED, and I will be forever gratefull to you :)

Once sesame oil came into my life, I’ve been so happy! And thank you for the tofu tip. I always turn it too early.

[@mermaidleal]

Everything you eat always look so delicious! You're very healthy, most people that I see couting calories are really obsessed with It. I personally couldn't do It, I became super obsessed with It and only 1000 calories started to seem like such a big number. So most of the time I don't look at the calories and just try to control my portions haha Btw looking forward for the desserts recipes ♡

The way you eat is goals. You have the same goal macro split I do. I really like the idea of doing carbs, veggies, and protein with each meal. That's a recipe for a satisfying and healthy meal. I am going to have to start measuring my oil. I may be overdoing the oil and not realizing it.

[@MrsStrawberry98]

Love the video. Just had the bibim men noodles today because my bf loves them hahaha. He just bought 16 packages hahaha. I think your approach about calorie counting is good. However, even I have done it for a couple of years I realised it is not for me because I got too focused on it and restrictive; I couldn't enjoy food anymore when I couldn't weigh it... Now I haven't counted calories in some time and very slowly better able to listen to my body's cues :)

[@annalisahamlett1334]

Wow, I would have never thought to prepare oats that way! I am a savory type of lady, and this and your brekkie bowl are right up my alley. Thanks so much for your creativity 😊

[@marionmielke5054]

I also use MyFitnessPal and the same 50/30/20of goals for carbohydrates/fat/protein. The number in the front is the amount of calories one should eat WITHOUT exersice. So what someone should eat that is lying in bed the whole day not moving at all. Even on a lazy home office day one would definitely use at least additional 200kcal for exersice. And on days with a lot of walking around that number can go easily up to 500kcal+ even without extra sport. Which is why I use an additional fitness tracker watch which counts my steps and heart rate and calculates the additional calories I use up. I try to eat only around 100kcal under my "output". I don't think looking weight fast will last. Like you said in another video: it is a lifestyle change.😊

I know she has 5 min meals but tbh they don’t really take 5 mins (at least not for me). I’m currently surviving on sweet earth frozen meals, rice cakes with hummus, canned beans, and heating up frozen veggies in the microwave. Plz send help lol. (Or is it that I unfortunately have to do this until I have more free time?). Just hard bc at the end of the day I’m really exhausted. Idk maybe I’m making excuses.

I tried to go vegan thus summer. It resulted in a low hemoglobin -7.5. What do you eat for iron!

[@hazelgracelancaster2825]

Amazing iron sources are nuts (cashews, almonds...), seeds (sesame, subflower), oats, whole grains, quinoa, amaranth, legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas), sugar beet syrup, dried fruits, dark chocolate, green vegetables (kale, spinach), soy products (tofu, tempeh). Make sure to pare it with a source of vitamin C (raw red bell pepper and strawberries are extremely high in vitamin C, but every fruit or vegetable will be fine) and don't drink coffee with it since caffeine gives your body a harder time absorbing the iron. I'd recommend trying to incorporate an iron source in every meal, for example: oats with fruit and nut butter, a sandwhich with whole-wheat breas, hummus and veggies, lentil daal with carrots or simply a salad with quinoa, chickpeas, veggies and a tahini dressing. You'll find lists with food's iron contents online. As a vegan or vegetarian, you should regularly check your iron levels and take supplements if they're alarmingly low. Speak to your doctor or dietitian and they'll surely help you. Good luck :)
