MLYLT learns to love herself and changes her life (for real this time!) - Page 28

MLY,

Seriously, buy some ****ing heads of broccoli, buy some ****ing carrots, and buy some ****ing string beans. Take the extra 10 minutes it takes to process them, and then steam them.

They will all be many-fold better than that canned garbahge you buy, on both a nutritional as well as a flavorful front.

I'm too poor; the canned veggies fit my budget this month.

That's not true. Provided the canned veggies don't have added salt/sugar, canned vegetables generally hold their own nutrient-wise against fresh vegetables. And if they're easier and cheaper for her, more power to her.

They aren't cheaper, they're easier though.

But sex tho.

I mean fresh is going to be superior to canned/frozen, but at least we are talking vegetables here.

Canned veggies are absolutely a disgusting mushy mess.

I love frozen peas.

I mean, this seems pretty nitty. If the side to her meals was lard then obviously people should be on that, but if she prefers canned or frozen, either for convienence or its just what she's use to, seems like energy better spent elsewhere.

Some training lady I was stuck with for a day did this, but my manager has yet to take me to lunch. She went out with some ppl today and didn't invite me; it seems weird since this is only my 4th day here.

It was a test and you failed it by not offering your co-workers a slice.

Sure, but one could make the argument that if she uses veggies that actually taste good, then she might acquire a taste for veggies instead of 6 slices of zaa and bacon cheeseburgers.

I've been dieting for 6 months and while I've been trying to eat the stuff I like from time to time to keep sanity high, I can't find a way to fit pizza. I'm all against banning foods, but if there were ever one to ban, pizza would be it. The one time I had pizza during this time, it had a ton of cannabis on it so I'd only need to eat two slices to get the desired effect.

Renton,

Make this tortilla pizza: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2...za-recipe.html

~200 tortilla
~200 cheese
~100 pepperoni and sauce

500 cals for the whole thing! I bet you could make a tasty 350 cal version.

Pretty cool. Wish I owned an oven...

Anyway, it still would be hard for me to be able to eat this just because the macros are so poor. I already don't get enough protein as it is. I guess switching the pepperoni to chicken breast and the cheese to reduced fat may up the protein to permissible levels.

Good lord... eat two real slices instead of that abomination. You are not doing yourself any favors.

That's the same argument I've been using for why she should go keto and eat steak and ranch dressing, but it isn't working. FWIW, depending on the kind of vegetables, I don't think canned vegetables are that bad. And for MLYLT, like many, I think she'd be more likely to give up veggies if she had to deal with preparing them fresh than not liking the taste of canned.

I mean, why eat off a nursing home menu when you are not forced to?
