getting your protein (eating disorder style)

this post aims to educate on how much protein a person needs, why it’s important to have enough, what low-calorie foods to eat for protein, and a few simple recipes for each food.

the average person needs a minimum of .8 grams of protein per kg of weight (or .36 grams of protein per pound) so as not to have a protein deficiency.

signs of protein deficiency include:

and since the vast majority of people on here do not seem to be getting their protein (myself included), here are some high-protein, low-calorie foods (with a recipe to make it!)

VEGAN:

🥕 in 1 cup of unshelled soybeans, there is: 107 calories, 10 grams of protein, 8 grams of fiber, 13 milligrams of sodium, and 2 grams of fat      to cook: boil until the soybean pods start to float, drain, then add salt (107 calories)

🥕 in 6 ounces of firm tofu, there is: 140 calories, 16 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 0 grams of sodium, and 8 grams of fat      to cook: slice into small cubes and stir-fry with spray-oil, soy sauce, and vegetables (broccoli and carrots work good and are both super low-cal! the whole meal is 200 calories if you use 1 cup of each vegetable)

VEGETARIAN:

🧀 in 4 egg whites, there is: 68 calories, 14 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 219 milligrams of sodium, and 0 grams of fat     to cook: preheat small pan with a little spray oil. separate the egg whites and yolks with your fingers, then discard the yolks (or use for someone else’s meal). cook the egg whites on medium heat until firm, scrambling occasionally. add salt and pepper to taste, and eat on 1 slice of bread (158 calories with a 90 calorie slice of whole wheat bread)

🧀 in 1 cup of skim milk, there is: 90 calories, 8 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 130 milligrams of sodium, and 0 grams of fat     to cook: eat with 1 cup of plain cheerios and 1 packet of sugar substitute for a 190 calorie breakfast!

🧀 in 5.3 ounces of low-fat greek yogurt, there is: 150 calories, 12 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 60 milligrams of sodium, and 4.5 grams of fat     to cook: put plain yogurt in a bowl with ½ cup of any berry and one packet of sugar substitute. stir and enjoy (200 calories or less)

CARNIVORE:

🍖 in 4 ounces of baked chicken breast (boneless and skinless), there is: 110 calories, 23 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 180 milligrams of sodium, and 3 grams of fat      to cook: preheat oven to 190C/375F. spray baking pan with spray oil. rub chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. put the chicken in the pan and cover with a piece of tin foil. bake for 40 minutes (110 calories)

🍖 in 3 ounces of yellowfin tuna canned in water, there is: 99 calories, 22 grams of protein, 0 grams of fiber, 288 milligrams of sodium, and 1 gram of fat      to cook: drain can, then add low-fat greek yogurt, lemon juice, low-fat mayo, apples, pickle juice, or cucumber (there’s a million different things you can add, so experiment! 150 calories or less)

so there we go! make sure you’re eating enough goddamn protein, for faster weight loss, and a healthier body!

And to avoid Anemia!!

gonna have to have tofu later. remember to try to get as many macros as you can in!!

Please let’s also not forget the OG source of protein… Protein Powder!!! 20g of protein for 25g of the whey protein I use, only for 103 calories. For some people this is half of their recommended daily protein. There are many vegan proteins out there with similar calorie counts/macros.

Ladies, Gents, and Non-Conforming individuals: it’s time to no longer be afraid of protein powder!

Even saying ”I’m so sorry, I completely forgot” sounds marginally better than ” I’m so sorry, I didn’t completely forget, I actually completely remembered. I thought about it the whole time and it stressed me out so much my brain built an insurmountable wall around it.”

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

I have OCD and anxiety and things like this trigger that shit SO HARD. The idea that if I don't do something I don't actually want to do and then something bad happens to me, its my fault??????????? THAT GARBAGE IS SO FUCKING DAMAGING. My brain can't comprehend what kind of asshole would think this is okay JUST BECAUSE they want likes/shares. Fuck off with that. You can't always just manifest stuff cause you want it. You can try your hardest but at the end of the day, SHIT STILL HAPPENS. Sometimes you can't always control what happens to you.

‼️‼️🆘️STOP THESE SHITTY LUCK POSTS🆘️‼️‼️

I will not let you use my trauma and mental illnesses against me so you can feel better about how much attention you receive.

Please stop these kind of posts. Even if you don't have OCD, maybe you have something else, LIKE AN ED FOR EXAMPLE. No one has the right to profit off of your suffering.

reposting for the written bit below!!!!!!!!!!!

What’s so bad about periods

At first I was like “no don’t reblog it’ll weird people out” then I was like “oh right that’s the point”

You also lose iron during menstruation. I actually passed out because of that yesterday.

Also shout out to all trans, gender-fluid or genderless people with menstruation out there! Periods don’t make you female. Only you define your gender!

Actually there is a good chance that is not the lack of iron making you pass out but instead drops on blood pressure!

I found this out recently. I’ve always been told my fainting/dizzy spells during my period were iron related but I did some research and because I have a history of low blood pressure and fainting related to it (in times of a restricted diet and pregnancy) it’s far more likely that’s the reason I’m fainting

A lot of other AFAB people report the same

I ended up in the hospital due to severe blood loss and needed transfusions to recover

Not to mention the dip in your immune system when you lose that much blood, just because of all the white blood cells pouring out along with the rest of it. 

Or the fact that a lot of the painful/severe symptoms associated with periods are actually due to medical problems that need to be addressed, but people don’t know this because no one wants to talk about it and associate most of the symptoms with a fictional version of PMS

That last point is really worth emphasising.

Look, periods suck, but they’re not supposed to suck so much that you’re genuinely incapacitated for days at a time. If you’re literally in agony every month, then that’s a sign there might be something else going on.

PS, women don’t know they are having heart attacks because period pain is WORSE

Oh I legit forgot

REBLOG THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHIT.
