would anyone like to help me estimate the amount I eat? I'm not the best at counting kcals and I really need to start. I'll learn but for now please help ://
(also I'm not trying to completely starve, I'd like to maintain 1400kcal a day + exercise)
what I eat in a day 10
-1400
breakfast:
+144kcal, 20g protein pudding
dinner:
320g lasagne
+460kcal, 25g protein
+300kcal the same cake as yesterday but about half the portion...
went out with friends
sweet potato fries with mayo
+500kcal maybe? idk you can correct me
they're trying to get me to eat more I'm gonna die ToT, had no time to exercise today either. were going on a walk later but I don't substract kcal from outside walks, I feel so fucking bad
+50kcal borsch
-100kcal exercise
end: -46kcal, 45g protein
barely but made it
!!!DON'T REPORT, JUST BLOCK AND MOVE ON, IM PRO RECOVERY, THIS IS ALL FOR ME, MYSELF AND I!!!
rules for myself:
eat 1400kcal a day, don't starve yourself, include as much protein as you can
limit your sugar but don't get rid of it, you don't want your brain shutting off
limit snacking, opt for gum or tea
make an effort to look down on your plate when you're eating, make sure your brain is registering the meal
don't count calories from walks with friends (that's entertainment, not exercise), count calories from the treadmill, exercise and walking outside when it's only purpose is to burn kcals (running errands doesn't count)
also don't count calories from seasoning etc, it's such tiny amounts it probably cancels out with walking around the house
drink as much water as you can
remember to take thyroid medication, don't abuse it
it's ok if progress is slow, you literally take hormonal pills and have broken organs
try to sleep at least 8h a day, insomnia lowers metabolism
don't freak out over 1kg up or down, it's most likely water weight or you need to take a shit
leave your ana personality on Tumblr, being around anorexic people that don't wanna recover is miserable (if you do wanna recover I support you and I'm proud of you, ask for help!!)
if you slip up, don't give up
if tired or feeling unwell, it's okay to skip exercising that day, it's better to keep mental motivation over pushing yourself too much and quitting
get to know me!

I don't even know if there's a point in counting today, Easter + birthday is gonna go over limit for sure so...
and also I don't have a scale at my bfs house! so it's not like I can weigh portions, either way that wouldn't help cause I didn't cook the food so I know nothing about it, I'm gonna just be very easy on myself today I guess
probably ate around 2000kcal, I was very active today, running around and stuff, so probably burned some too. but as I've said, counting was impossible to do besides just guessing so...
