I don't know what to say . -_-"

simply fresh ..

stir fry noodles .. ;)

Note: Actual picture

"Noodles"
0 calorie vegetable cooking spray
1/2 clove garlic (2cal)
scallions
1/4 bag precut cole slaw (25cal)
minced ginger
dash salt

"Meat Sauce"
4 mushrooms (12cal)
1 tomato (36cal)
fresh basil leaves
dash worcestershire sauce
red pepper flakes
black pepper
cilantro
0 calorie vegetable cooking spray
dash salt

Total: 75 calories


I have been eating unhealthy lately, so today I wanted to start out clean.

Should have eaten it completely raw, but half cooked it cuz broccoli is so hard to eat raw.

Mince garlic, chop scallions. Wash and chop tomato and mushrooms.

Take your non stick skillet, spray with vegetable cooking spray.

Saute garlic, scallions, and slaw, but not fully. Drizzle minced ginger. Only half cook it, you still want the noodles to be crispy. Set aside.

Respray skillet with vegetable cooking spray. Chopped tomato on one side and mushroom on the other. Break down the tomato with wooden spoon while cooking on medium heat. Add basil leaves on the tomato. Dash worcestershire sauce and red pepper flakes on tomato. Stir it and continue to break it down, its water content should make it a chunky sauce type thing.

Dash salt, very little ! Just for taste on both the mushrooms and tomato.

You can now mix it up, or if you're like me and enjoy tasting the food item individually .. then just serve beside the noodles.

Dash black pepper for taste and garnish with cilantro.

Notice I didn't cook it with any oil, I only use the vegetable spray so nothing sticks to the pan and burns. For those of you who don't mind some fat, I'd say give the noodles a drizzle of sesame oil for more flavor. Though I really liked the ginger taste. This recipe saves you from consuming gluten and a shitload more unnecessary calories.

And I had cucumber chips for an appetizer.

Makes a really good lunch.


In comparison, to let's say Earls. or any of those franchise restaurants that serve a crispy noodle bowl. I have this thing against fake asian food. lol .. sure it's called fushion . *Rolls eyes*

Earl's Hunan Kung Pao is a wok fried noodle with veggies, peanuts, and you can add chicken or shrimp. It has 1003.65 calories. You would think noodles, vegetables, and chicken should have less calories than a burger, right ? No, according to the nutritional content they provide on their website .. both burgers have less calories than the bowls do.

Okay let's talk health. I'm totally disgusted right now, The Hunan bowl has 42.12g of fat, so even more than the Bigger Better 1/2 lb Burger which has 40g. But the Hunan bowl has 3324.32mg of sodium. Holy fuck. The burger has 995mg. That's quite a difference. The burger has more saturated fat of 18.27g where as the bowl only has 4.59g. Also the fibre content is very low in both bowls and burgers.

I don't like burgers either, (grounded up proccessed meat? .. that's like death .. wait it is. =P) but I'm just comparing the two because people automatically think burgers are unhealthy if comparing to rice or noodles. And pasta, don't even get me started.
Gross.

So yah, I'm never eating at Earls, lol . Didn't mean to pick on them, but I don't eat at many other places with that sort of food either.

The next time you end up at one of these places, maybe you'll reconsider and just starve. Haha, kidding.

Cheers and have a nice day ! =)

seriously ..

- DIET VS LIFE -

http://www.acaloriecounter.com/how-to-stick-to-your-diet.php

It annoys me when people question me ..

"Oh you're on a diet ?" ... "What kind of diet?" ... "What, your still on a diet?"

NO PEOPLE, I'm not on a fucking diet. It's called a lifestyle you morons.

On a brighter note, read this article .. it makes total sense.


Oddly enough, I'd been through all these steps naturally .. just came across this article by accident just now though lol

The key to maintaining your eating habits (according to me) (regardless of what your aiming for) is to:

1) Do not deprive yourself of anything. Eat what you want. But in moderation.
2) Eat when your hungry, not when your "supposed" to
3) Fuck what others think or say, they can shove junk down their throats all they want .. but why do you have to follow and suffer ? You don't. Don't feel obligated to try and explain to them because, even if they understand .. they won't agree. So fuck them. lol
4) Don't kill yourself if you binge once in awhile. It happens .. we're only human. Tomorrow will be another day where you can do much better.


And folks, that is how you live the life you want. Really, it doesn't only apply to food.

Cheers.

The 272 Fast Food Items Highest In Calories

Check out your favorite fast food restaurants !!

http://www.acaloriecounter.com/fast-food-calories.php

White Castle is on the top of the list .. Jack in the Box isn't much better .

Thank god we don't have those in Canada.

DQ , BK , Arby's , MCD is very common though.

#10 on the list is DQ's 6 piece chicken strip basket going at 1270 calories. Yikes !
I vaguely remember eating that in highschool .. but haven't in many years ..

Mcdonald's actually my all time favorite .. but I rarely eat it anymore =)


Obviously I'm gonna think twice before eating at any of these places. Probably more than twice, more like quadruple. lol


Well, happy getting skinny folks . or fat in many cases . but think positive ! haha

Not bad, just over by a little bit ..

a little piece of heaven ..

frozen grapes

i love cold fruit

frozen fruit even better

especially grapes ! and raspberries !

tastes like candy .. but much more healthier

each grape only has 4 calories

<3

plums ..

i love plums !

Fortunately for me, I grew up with a plum tree in my yard .. and it's still here, so at the end of every summer .. I look forward to eating a whole bunch of them.

They are really good for you, around only 40 calories !

Rich in antioxidants, high in vitamin C, fibre, potassium .. the list goes on ..

Detoxifies liver and kidneys .. something that my body highly needs.

And their such a good fruit for a hot summer day, so juicy and refreshing !

time to set new goals ..

my food restrictions .

No chips
No pop
No candy
No chocolate
No pork
No processed meats
No siu yeah
No gluten
No dessert
No duck skin
No chicken (exception: wings)
No cooked seafood
No gizzard
No beer (exception: bbqs)


I will continue to add to this as I achieve them one by one. Until one day, I hopefully become fully raw.

Well the first 6 days, my calorie intake that I took down was incorrect, so I'm gonna do a 25 day review instead.

Yaay, I achieved my goal. I think I can do even better though.. and I'm gonna try to cut back on the beer. Lol

apples ..

the Granny Smith .

My favorite apple .. I try to have one each day.

It only has around 80 calories in a medium sized one.

=)

I resolve to have more balanced meals today ..

Let's see if I can do this ..

Breakfast:
1 slice bread (50cal)
1/2 sandwich (102cal)
1.5 slice turkey (30cal)
1/8 orange pepper slices (12.5cal)
sweet chilli sauce (6cal)
1/2 cup green smoothie (13.15cal)

Total: 213.65 calories


Lunch:
1.5 duck gizzard (70.5cal)
1/2 sandwich (127cal)
1/2 slice bread (25cal)
1 cup smoothie (26.3cal)
2 mushrooms (11cal)

Total: 259.8 calories


Snack:
7 pistachios (28cal)
3 truffettes de france (52cal each x 3 = 156cal)
2 brazil nuts (11cal)
2 tsp nutella (66.66cal)
Pringle's wheat stix (90cal)

Total: 348.66 calories


I was doing so well, right on track .. until the afternoon where I was bored and sitting at home with nothing to do.. then I went on a rampage for crap food. Fuck !

Hopefully, I can resist later and just have a small healthy dinner ..


Dinner:
5 strawberries (27.625cal)
9 shiitake mushrooms (90cal)
1 oz chicken (47cal)
1 cup bak choy (10cal)
75 pistachios (300cal)
1 oz dried salted fish (50cal)

Total: 524.625 calories


Fuck my life. I ate the whole bag of pistachios .. I just couldn't stop. FUCK !!

Or else I woulda been okay .. but now, waay over my calories for the day.

=(


Let's add a medium green apple to the list (80cal)

Um, fuck my life.

My take on pork

I have officially decided to stop eating pork .


"PIGS will eat anything including urine, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables and left overs of what people ate. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals. You are killing yourself slowly. Pork is like death. The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef. Pigs don't sweat so the toxins remain within its body and in the meat. And then when a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the pig flesh is full of worms."

- From Yahoo


I'm not sure if the things mentioned above are all absolutely true or not .. but it is motivational for me to stop eating pork. You are what you eat, and I never ever wanna be a pig.

When I have a bite of pork meat .. whether it's roast pork, bbq pork, pork chops .. whatever. I feel disgusted after I chew and swallow it. It has this distinct smell and flavor that makes me wonder why I put it in my mouth in the first place. I'm not sure why, it's just so gross.

There are many meats out there that are more lean and healthy, so I'll stick with my chicken and beef thanks.

What a terrible month..

I've gotta try harder in November ! MUST MEET MY GOAL !

MUST LOSE WEIGHT !

I CAN DO THIS !!

Calorie Counting ..

I have been counting my calories each day since April 2009, It has helped me lose 5-10 lbs just by realizing the amount of food I am eating each day. I'm supposed to eat 1300 calories MAX a day, I am trying to only eat 1000. It has been hard lately..

I will do better starting today !
