    Radishes contain almost no calories

    Not very amazing then, given that I need those to survive.

      also it’s not like other vegetables have the energy density of plutonium, aside from the starchy stuff most vegetables have precisely the amount of calories that’s good for you.

        Learn to fill up on veggies and you cannot overeat. No one got overweight gorging on non staple starch veggies or fruit.

        If they do not taste good, do not eat for a day or two, and cut any salt or sugar, your palette will learn to appreciate real food.

      I always hate seeing this. I get a lot of people struggle with being overweight, but there are those of us that struggle maintaining a healthy weight. But all health stuff seems to be focused on low calories and losing weight. I can’t even program fitness/eating apps to help me gain weight - best I can do is “maintain current weight”.

            Omg, is that really the secret to eating disorders? Just “eat more”? Wow! You should be a licensed dietician!

            Do you appreciate it when people tell you “just eat less?”. Does that actually work? I guess that means all fat people are just willingly fat, right? They just have to choose to eat less. Why even have health apps in the first place if it’s just that simple? Fat people are just lazy.

            You see how when flipped around this is wildly offensive, but somehow you think telling someone struggling with low weight to “just eat more” isn’t?

              Not really. With this flipped around my reaction is …. “whooOOSHH”.

              How is it that now even self-deprecating humor targeting oneself can get someone ‘s panties in a bunch?

                So someone posts their issue and you think a flippant joke dismissing them is funny?

                Enjoy being a fat piece of shit then. I hope you get zero help and everyone just mocks you too.

          Health apps also track calories out and this doesn’t work for that. Health apps want you to be on a decifit generally(eat less and exercise more). They’re just not setup for even “maintain” very well. This doesn’t solve the issue that most health apps are obesity centered and have alerts for too many calories, but almost never for too few. This doesn’t create a useful plan tailored to my needs, this is just “use something different and pretend it’s the same”. We do not have the same struggles and the apps don’t acknowledge any of that.

          But thanks for acting like the entire problem is “just eat more”. Omg, why didn’t I think of that? Why am I trying to use create a plan to help me when I could have just eaten more! Omg! You solved it! You solved all eating disorders! Congrats! All my anxieties just suddenly vanished and I can be normal!
