#cheese and carbs and meat and veg

[lucaswarmhotchocolate]

haven't been able to cook something rlly good or eat my favorite foods in the way that I like them recently and it's doing horrors for my mental health. I would honestly settle for Kraft mac n cheese and dino nuggies rn (I don't like Kraft brand mac n cheese and much prefer homemade but that's ridiculously expensive and dino nuggies are fine I guess but I prefer something crisper like popcorn chicken or McDonald's nuggets)

#i want spaghetti and homemade meat sauce #i want lovingly made enchiladas #i want thick grilled burgers with crisp and bright lettuce #freshly fried wings in buffalo sauce #pulled pork sandwiches #hashbrowns and chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy #freshly baked pineapple upside down cake #cheerios with frozen blueberries #bleu cheese and celery sticks #sharp and sweet coke with wet burritos and mexican rice and refried beans #tortilla chips and guac #hot fries that are almost soggy with grease and generously battered and fried fish #mashed potatoes and slowly braised beef with a thick gravy #cheese and carbs and meat and veg #im so. fucking. hungry. #and every time i look in the pantry or the fridge to cook something i can't come up with anything #we have no spices no pasta no cheese no nothing #cuz apparently even pepper is too fucking expensive #im gonna die #im gonna literally die #anyways would like to mention that this is all being caused by a new insurance that has been slowly draining every cent from this family #also my bones hurt im gonna scream and rip someone's face off and fucking eat it #even tho it sounds gross im just rlly mad

I received some very kind donations today which are helping us recover from vet bills and the general cost of living and I hope none of you mind that I am spending a bit of it to order a pizza as a treat for Jon and I

Also my mom & brother came through with a box of frozen popcorn chicken (which is something I tried to buy on sale last week but the grocery delivery messed up) so we're having that with the pizza

Yes, I am breaking my low-carb diet. But this is SO much better than having instant ramen, which also would have broken my diet

Ok what I'm getting at is y'all are great and thank you, thanks to you boosting my post and pitching in, we are having a nice dinner

#i'm still in overdraft but not by as much #and the bunny vet bill is covered so whew #anyway #mod post #food #financial stuff #also also the ramen is literally JUST noodles and a seasoning packet. no meat or veg or anything. just carbs and salt #at least pizza has meat and veggies and cheese and like. some level of nutrition

[agro-carnist]

I don't know how ARAs see "people should generally be eating more plants and fewer animal products" and misinterpreting it as "meat is bad and unhealthy and makes you sick and plants fix your health problems." A lot of people just don't eat the right balance of plants and animals. Produce goes bad super quickly so a lot of people buy it in very small quantities or just skip certain produce because they won't eat it fast enough. And all the shelf stable junk food or pre-prepped meals have a lot of dairy and/or eggs and not a lot of veggies. Your brain is also just hardwired to seek out food that's more nutrient dense and high energy, that's why eating cheese feels so good but carrots don't scratch that same itch - and no it's not because it's ~addictive~ it's because your survival instinct seeks out the food that gives you the most energy. Fats and carbs are more desirable than vitamins and minerals. Thats also why bread and pasta are also eaten in excess. But bread and pasta aren't bad for you or make you sick, they're just more nutrient dense than produce. That's also why people should eat more produce than meat and dairy, because it takes a hell of a lot more of the former to get what the latter gives. You only need a little bit of bread or beef, but you can eat tons of carrots or lettuce. So when nutritionists talk about how people would be healthier if we limited the amount of animal products we eat and introduce more fruit and veg to our diet they're not saying that plants are healthy and animals are unhealthy, they're telling you to find the right balance between them.

Tldr; "eat more vegetables" =/= "animal products are bad for you"

[absolutebl]

not bl related but I was too curious. What dishes can you whip up for 10-12 people!?

heh heh

Cheesy potato casserole (I do mine with a rosemary rarebit-based cheese sauce) + whatever meat or veg is lying around.

Chicken (or veg) enchilada casserole - made with corn tortillas.

Any kind of noodle casserole (chicken, mushroom, tuna).

Thai drunken noodles. Pretty much any basic Thai curry (red, green, yellow, panang).

A full roast chicken + stuffing, gravy, and potatoes.

This fun one-pot Spanish dish I picked up when I was living there. It's chicken, chorizo (or whatever spicy sausage), mushrooms, gravy and white wine (although I can do a cream and stock version instead)

Shepards pie (usually mixed meat, but I can do a veg version)

Lamb stew (and, frankly, most stews, they are super easy).

Lamb vindaloo

Whatever salad is needed to go with any of the above.

I'm also pretty good at crepes, omelets, Bismark pancakes, and these "egg in cups" that are made in muffin tins, so I can do a breakfast for 10-12 pretty fast too.

Oh and I can pretty much always bake: gf orange chocolate cake, banana bread, and fruit crisps.

When I am in any one place for any length of time I tend to become the party house host and I love feeding people. So I've developed a back catalogue of quick reference feeds a lot foods.

I've also lived off the land and weird stuff like that, so I'm basically a "make it work" kinda cook. I'm one of those who can walk into a kitchen, assess the state of the canned goods, carbs, condiments, fresh & frozen food, and the pans/heating elements and come up with something. More art than science.

[yes-im-youtube-kids]

Hey just wanted to let u know in case u didn't already,, in case ur gonna start eating healthy (pls do!!), its perfectly fine to eat "junk"* food often as long as u balance it out with healthier foods:)

Make sure to eat a balancr of protein, fruits n veg, dairy, and carbs

Bread stuff isn't bad for u, idk who came up with that but it's good to eat bread!!

protein examples: milk, cheese, meat, nuts, fish

dairy: cheese, milk, butter, cream, yoghurt

carbs is bread n wheat stuff ig

Also, idk if I'm gonna explain this properly, my mom told me a lil while ago and I kinda forgot, but basically u wanna look for a high amount of fiber per serving to fill u up. It doesn't matter how many servings of low fiber u eat bc it's not gonna make u feel as full as less servings of higher fiber food,, ykwim??

Sry this is rly messy I'm trying to recall all the stuff my dietitian mom told me

Idk if this was info u needed, but I hope it helps!!

*quotes bc all food has at least some value

PS REMEMBER TO DRINK WATER

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY DRINK WATER ITS SO IMPORTANT

:0 Ty for caring abt my well being

I took an ss of the info :3

[coldcrypt]

I'm marco, 26yo cis guy from UK. I got into weight loss because I wanted motivation to stop drinking around april 2022, and ended up bingeing and purging on avg 3 times a week for abt 6 months. I relapsed back into daily drinking (litre+ of vodka a day) and detoxed in hospital at the start of the year, but have been finding it really difficult to stop and stay stopped, so I'm back here. I've nearly died so many times recently from drinking and I just keep gaining/getting more and more swelling &bloating. If any alcoholics/bulimics have advice for someone who cant stop shovelling it in to get a sustainable deficit, I'd appreciate it a lot. My goal is to be safe about it, but I'm open to anything that works.

I'm experimenting with different methods of weight loss, sometimes fasting, sometimes rezzing, but am very inconsistent. I binge v often. This is not so much an accountability blog, more like recording what I've learnt and just venting. My bmi starting around may20th was 22 ish, was 5th june 20, 4th oct 22.5,and now 20.5 jan27th. Have to get it back to 20, but goal would be 18 with low body fat %. My main goal is to stop drinking and get healthier (thinner).

To do list:

get compression sleeves for running

Things that worked:

going to meetings make it much easier to abstain and think abt other things than food -> much easier rezzing

being distracted by things unrelated to food

having good food options for rezzing prepped, like boiled eggs, or having a solid stock of staples like steak, yoghurt, fruit and veg

not buying food that I will binge on, if I buy it, even if its not for me, I will eat it and get fat

taking longer routes/walking instead of getting train (energy, weather and mood permitting)

peppermint tea

keep it in the day. One day at a time really works, it just takes practise to get into mentally

supporting blood sugar throughout the day, especially if going out/socialising/towards the end of the day (when alc cravings pick up). This is best done with small amounts of carbs following a rly high protein 1st meal

Things that I was doing before but that didn't work out well:

taking K supplements (just eat s. potato for carb allowance, is filling too and has loads of K, stops palpitations when intermittent fasting)

pho, miso or gochujang as soup bases. They are too salty and lead to painful sluggish bloat.

Oyster sauce is not worth the cals

Diet sodas. Caffeine dependence builds really quickly and teeth need help

olive oil for sautéing vegetables. Pointless cals. Fats can come from lean meats like beef steak, eggs and occasional avo as well as omega3 supplements

fasting. At 18 hours I feel like I'm goin mental and at 22+ the palpitations make it uncomfortable to move around or do anything at all

strength training (esp core) at home without equipment. Dont enjoy it at all, not motivated at all

watching hours and hours a day of ED documentaries, scrolling ED tumblr, and watching hours of foodtube every day. Obsession -> binges

hard avoiding carbs. Leads to massive brain rot and feeling morbid. Can't do anything. Inevitable binges, usually alcohol, or 4000 cal of food.

sushi is not really worth it. White sushi rice is too sugary. Its usually a carb craving in disguise, or something to get on the go and is expensive.

weighing every morning just lead to trying to use caffeine as lax and more chaos on energy levels, or obsessing and not being distracted.

Press ups make my joints click a lot. Planking is really boring and doesnt feel rewarding.

Using sex for stim instead of food and cooking

Curious about:

feta, olives and cherry tomatoes for satiety.

Broccoli and mushrooms (annoying to prep or dont taste nice when boiled)

chicken sausages for cheap lean protein (think they can be a binge trigger or lead to mental scarcity feelings but not sure if worth)

ways to make cottage cheese not taste shit (cocoa powder is not cutting it)

cardio > strength training maybe. Runner's high > nothing from strength training (that I ever felt anyway).

Finding a way to enjoy strength training

yoga and stretching for stim

skipping breakfast has really mixed vibes. Can feel completely awful, but can also make rezzing much easier. Can also lead to binges in the evening (because there's unspent cals in the budget). Probably best to stick to eating breakfast but keeping it high protein and not eating right away when waking up.

Experiment with meds timings.

minced turkey or discount fish for lean protein variety

ways to make eating salad not miserable, cos it does work rly well for getting a deficit. (Maybe herbs and lemon and chickpeas? Make in bulk? Quinoa? Binge risk)

_____________

New plan from 4th Oct '23 can't be strict bc cant track exercise cals without a phone for looking at time spent walking and running so will need to do a gross-in instead of net- in quick basic (aspirational) plan:

1000 cal deficit/day for the next month -> 1500 gross in/day allowance

NO: baked beans, bone broth, oil, paté, pasta, alcohol, caffeine, quiche, cheese, instant snack food, pesto, chorizo, hummus, meal deal foods reason: too sugary or fatty for their worth in flavour. Cause binges every time when rezzing. Not filling enough. Caffeine leads to crashes and the pickmeup is usually food.

LESS: bread, onion, ketchup reason: can be useful carbs in a pinch, less likely to cause binges than above (because they are only accompanied with protein). Onion and ketchup help with mental scarcity and support good vibes

MORE: fruit, veg soup, sweet potato, tuna, s. noodles, fruit juice, avocado, egg, steak, quorn, butternut squash reason: sugar cravings need to be comboed with fibre addition, or fruit juice could be useful diluted for emergency alc cravings. Everything else is lean protein and should be frontloaded in the day. Sweet potato is there for potassium and low glycaemic index carbs. Avo and s. noodles are contentious bc of price and fat/nutritional value reasons

ALTERNATIVES TO EATING: gaming, reading, weighing, cleaning, brushing teeth, counting cals, weights, stretching, running, walking, meetings. mostly overeat because of boredom and to break monotony in free time or to stim. These are alternatives that work and also make rezzing easier in other ways.

Even before I wound up with inherited diabetes (thanks, grandparental genetics!), I couldn't hack breakfast cereal or loads of carbs in the morning. It just puts me right back to sleep.

I function SO much better with supper style food. Meat, veg, sometimes a salad...sometimes a sandwich, but it tends to have meat, cheese, and leafy greens, and one slice of bread carefully lightly toasted and then sawn into two very thin slices, because my body can't handle that many carbs anymore. *sigh*

(I recommend an old-style dense sourdough bread, as it slices into thin layers the best.)

So every time I go in to see my specialist, she has to ask me about my eating habits...and I always hear/see her doing the mental equivalent of popping the clutch and resetting herself to, "oh, right, she doesn't eat traditional carb-heavy breakfasts!" And it amuses me.

Because you don't have to eat what "everyone else" eats for breakfast! Heck, in a lot of cultures, they have soup for breakfast! Hot soup, with vegetables!

[cherrrydomme]

Hey, I'm working on my next 100lb push. Do you have any food tips that aren't sluggish? I feel like a circus elephant grazing on peanuts all day and I need to find some variety.

Thanks 🙏

i love this question! the people who asking me for food recs know i am all about variety and making sure my pets get the right nutrients.

some recs from me:

things to ADD to meals to add cals without making you feel like crap: avocado, peanut butter, tofu (can blend it into things), eggs, extra sauces, nutritional yeast, greek yogurt, protein powders, extra veggies (the starchy ones are fairly high cal), cream cheese

tips to make meals that make you full as hell but not feel like crap- stay away from *just* sugar and carbs! it’s better to go a tiny bit lower calorie but still feel good throughout the day. add veggies to everything (good for you but also just more calories) and try to have a protein, a carb, a fruit or veg, and a fat at every meal. just make these portions large ;)

i find a lot of pastas and pasta salads, yummy sandwiches, pizza (even the oven ones that aren’t that like greasy), meat and potatoes type meals, rice based dishes, indian food, etc to be high calorie but still functional foods!!

gaining should be joyful and a great excuse to experiment with the foods you love. hope this helps OP :)

[visiting-statue-23]

I'm so done w protein 😣

This close to chugging raw eggs and protein powder in its original form, just to be over w it...

Going to make cottage cheese oat "cakes", overnight oats w protein powder, tuna salad, spicy chicken bites, protein ice-cream, alfredo tortilla "pizza" w chicken, roasted tofu w veg, cheesecake, greek yoghurt bark..

These will keep me less depressed in the next couple weeks I hope..

Otherwise I'm filling up on veggies, nuts, lean meat, fruit, protein bars, zero sugar snacks, joghurt.

Only if I could have some carbs 👹

We have to find a place dude the market is so fucked out here but I'm abt to just find some weird shed to live in I can't live like this

[thethoguhts]

A lot of people try to change their mindset before making physical changes, but I usually find it works better the other way

Regular sleeping cycle

I have found out that unfortunately my body is very very sleep dependant. That is, not getting adequate sleep has more impact on my mood, energy, appearance etc. than any other change, which is why it’s at the top. Inadequate sleep can actually make me feel hungover the next day which is why it’s important to stay on top of. I have found that if I go to sleep between 10 and 10.30, I wake up naturally before my alarm at 6.30am and I have no desire to fall back to sleep — this sets the tone for my day with a focused, energetic and interpersonal demeanour. However, if i fall asleep by 11.30 I wake up in a haze, red eyed and still tired. The difference that extra hour or even half hour will make is so under rated — respect your body’s Circadian Rhythm and it will respect you. I found alot of amazing info in a book called Why We Sleep by Mathew Walker.

Foods you are avoiding to eat

Alot of people advise on what you should eat which is obviously important, but for me, maintaining a strong energy throughout the day is also down to steering clear of certain foods. I’m talking about refined carbohydrates such as bread, pasta and of course sugar. When I eat these foods it’s almost certain I’ll crash due to their high glycemic qualities and will not fully recover for the rest of the day, where I will remain somewhat introverted and tired. Not eating these foods also does not bloat your stomach and will have you looking slimmer. For lunch I stick to cooked veg and fish/meat. Further, I don’t ‘intermittently fast’ per se, but I do give my body a food-free window in the morning for 2–3 hours which allows all your regulatory hormones to secrete and settle without the added stress of ingesting and absorbing food. Jordan Peterson claims his first recommendation to patients is eating a fat-heavy breakfast in the morning to mop up excess insulin, as opposed to carb-heavy which increases blood sugar.

Eating the right foods.

As you may be aware there has been alot of exciting research around the human microbiome and our symbiotic relationship with bacteria. If you’re not aware I would suggest you start with a book called ‘The Diet Myth’, which explains not only what you should eat but also why. The long and short of it is you should eat the widest range of natural foods possible for your body (veg, cheese, nuts, oils) so as to cultivate a broad range of microbial species in your stomach — the broader the better! There is a proven theory that your brain communicates alot with your stomach through the Vegus Nerve and can strongly influence mood (as well as auto immune conidtions). In addition, clean foods give you so much more energy and make you look so much better.

Cutting out masturbation

This was my biggest vice — It was quite literally an addiction like cigarettes or coffee but I had no idea it was an issue because, it’s just wanking right? Wrong. The reason it becomes addictive is because it stimulates the same neurological receptors that are responsible for your sense of reward and achievement. When you’re bashing your bishop even once a day you are exploiting your brain’s reward circuitry and tiring it out. Once it’s exhausted, every day things that would give you a sense of pleasure or drive are no longer effective because the receptors have already been over-loaded from last night’s internet indulgence. I could go on about this for days but you can do your own research easily on the web. For me, the results of just abstaining for even a few days were incredible.

Haircut

Never underestimate the power of a clean fade bro (or if you’re a woman just a professional clean and blow dry I guess?)

1.1 Now you can focus on mindset! I didn’t realise how important meditation was until i actually tried to still my mind and couldn’t. Months on, I’m still shit at it but getting better. What you have to remember is meditation/mindfulness is singularity of the mind even when consciously active. Washing the dishes? Focus on it. Driving? Focus on it. Eating a sandwich? Focus on it. I also find that affirmations help, resonating with the galactic frequencies to see yourself where you want to be and acting on it.

1.2 Having a goal You need this, this sense of purpose and identity. You will surely wither away and rot inside without it. It can be anything — job, your kids, working out, hobby, passion. Find what makes you drive and dig!

I’m not saying I stick to these steps religiously, sometimes I fall right off the band wagon — but when I know its time to pick myself up, these are the areas I work on. Collectively they make me more extroverted, clearer headed, give me more conviction and far more efficient.

Hope it helps, good luck!

Five Foods Low In Saturated Fat

Fat consumption is a controversial topic in the nutrition world – but it’s generally accepted that we should try to reduce the amount of saturated fat in our diets down to a minimum. This is because saturated fat leads to the build-up of cholesterol in our arteries, which can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. The controversy comes because the types of foods we’re switching to might not be great for our health either, and the worry is that by focusing on saturated fat, we’re pushing the people in the direction of carb-rich, processed foods. So with that in mind, here’s four foods low in saturated fat that you can introduce into your diet which make for a better alternative to simple carbohydrates, and have many other health benefits as well! Low Fat Milk and Milk Alternatives Dairy is often the biggest culprit in our sat fat consumption, with butter and hard cheese rich with the stuff. Milk can be high in saturated fats too – this is what the ‘fat’ refers to in full fat or 2% and whole milk. Low fat options, as well as milk alternatives, contain plenty of healthy fat - and protein too - with unsweetened soya, almond and oat milk containing even less saturated fat than cow’s milk. Fruit and Vegetables We should all probably be eating more fruit and veg – they’re a great source of essential minerals and fibre. They’re also incredibly low in saturated fat. Lean Cuts of Meat Lean meats, such as chicken, turkey and filleted steak and trimmed red meats, have a high protein content and are relatively low in fat. Chicken is a popular option for a low fat diet – but be aware that the skins can be very fatty. Whole Grains Whole grains are an excellent source of minerals and fibre, with a low saturated fat content. We’re talking about beans, oat porridge and sweet potatoes - and wholegrain breads and pastas have less saturated fat than their conventional counterparts. Read the full article

Can dogs eat Mac and Cheese? No A heavy amount of butter, salt, and spices like pepper, oregano, and red chili flakes can result in stomach ache, indigestion, and vomiting. How mac was first prepared and detailed historical facts about Mac and cheese: When looking for a quick and simple recipe to make in a short amount of time, mac and cheese is a great choice. Buttery macaroni baked in cheese, flavored with oregano, is hot and tempting. The pleasant aroma of this mouth-watering meal recipe also tempts your four-legged little munchkin. Although Mac and Cheese have lots of protein and carbs, the dairy and gluten in them might harm your dog's digestive system. Especially for a pup with insufficient digestive enzymes to break down the lactose in its stomach. The famous 14th-century Italian cuisine? Mac History in the United States James Hemings was the chef of the 3rd U.S. president Thomas Jefferson. When working as a chef in Paris during his early years, he learned how to prepare macaroni and later introduced it to Americans. Mac and cheese cooked in American homes is a dish of boiled pasta prepared with different sauces. It is made in a saucepan. The sauces can be soya sauce, red chili and tomato sauce, or cheese sauce depending upon the flavor of choice of a person. Some people also add veggies and meat to the dish for extra taste. Canadian History Macaroni and cheese were brought to Canada by some immigrants. The first macaroni and cheese recipes in Canadian cookery books dating back to 1845. The dish is prepared with eggs yolk, a mixture of sauces, exotic spices, and meat stuffed inside a puff pastry. Cheddar is the country's most famous cheese when preparing Mac and Cheese. The Canadian people became accustomed to the meal, quickly becoming a favorite. Interesting facts about Dog meals? Dogs are considered one of the most energetic animals that guard, assist in investigations, and provide companionship to humans, among other things. Due to this, keeping the nutritional level of this animal in check is a prime concern amongst owners. Dogs come in the category of carnivores, meaning that even domesticated dogs love the presence of meat in their meal. Dogs have sharp, long pointed teeth and smaller GIT tracts which is better suitable for a non-veg diet than a vegetarian diet. Canine food should be prepared by keeping the dog’s nutrition level to maintain a healthy heart, hair, mind, and body. Preparing a timetable of when the dog should be provided with food is also essential. Giving them a meal twice a day is the best choice for them. It will not make them feel hungry all day. For dogs to get the proper nutrition, they must be fed at the right time, with the right portion of food and the right choice of meals. Providing your dog at the correct time allows his body to be well prepared for processing the food he will receive. Please remember that you don’t own the bowl filled and allow them to eat the same food the whole day. It will be very unhygienic and causes bacterial growth inside the food. What is the proper process for feeding your dog? A very pro tip is always to check your dog’s mood, whether he is happy or aggressive. You’ll need two different bowls of the exact sizes and two types of food that are the same in shape and size. It's incredible how good dogs are at smelling. Cover the bowl with a lid so the dog can sniff and choose their favorite food by themselves. Dogs love playing games. Put the bowl away from the dog at exactly equal distance. Observe which bowl your dog prefers. Change the position of the bowl occasionally, and over time, you will get to know which food the dog prefers, and then you can feed them their choice of food. Can dogs eat Mac and Cheese? Is it harmful to them? A heavy amount of butter, salt, and spices like pepper, oregano, and red chili flakes can result in stomach ache, indigestion, and vomiting. Lactose Intolerance: Just like human, animals such as dogs also suffers from lactose intolerance.

Sometimes their body might not have the required digestive enzyme to break down the lactose in cheese, causing gastrointestinal issues. Gluten Intolerance: As lactose intolerance, dogs can also have gluten intolerance because the pasta is made from different wheat varieties. The processing method also can result in gluten allergy. A lot of artificial colors and sugar are added to boxed pasta. Dogs and humans should not consume this because it harms their digestive systems. Puppies fed cooked boxed pasta might suffer more because their bodies aren't accustomed to it. Allergic reactions like skin irritation, rashes swelling can also occur after feeding dogs eats Mac and Cheese. It contains onions, garlic, canned sauces, and spices that are highly risky for dogs with allergies. Emergency Steps to undertake if the dog has consumed too much Mac and Cheese? There is no need to be alarmed if your pooch has only eaten a mouthful of pasta. They usually will not experience any discomfort. However, feeding them a full bowl may upset their stomach. If that happens, then don’t get tensed. Try to keep them properly hydrated. Pay attention to the dog’s body movement. If his behavior is aggressive or the dog faces gastric problems like vomiting and diarrhea, immediately contact your veterinarian. Conclusion Dogs have different digestive systems than humans, so simply because a meal is healthy for you does not mean it is fit for them. Try to give him another healthy option. Put some fruits and carrots on their diet. If you want your dog to have a great energy level and a happy, healthy stomach, then be conscious of their diet. It is always wise to consult your veterinarian before giving your dog a new kind of meal. Dogs with happy stomachs have a more optimistic mood.

[sayitaliano]

I'm from Russia and people here also eat different things depending on the preferences and health issues. But we do have this idea of healthy and balanced meals that people are usually used to and they are served in kindergartens and schools and camps and hospitals. Those are: for breakfast it's any type of porridge and tea and bread with butter, for lunch it's any type of a soup for the first course, some carbs (pasta, potatoes or grains) with some meat or fish, and tea or compote with a dessert, then afternoon tea, and for dinner something like the second lunch course. Do you have this kind of diet in Italy?

We have the dieta mediterranea, which is made of all the nutrients, taken bit by bit. Basically a bit of everything, in right doses. Cause it's doses the main problem. It's all good, unless you exaggerate.

We do have some kind of diet that people is given in hospitals and kindergartens but honestly, food there is terrible lol. BTW our seems a little more varied than what you say (and according on the issues, if we speak about hospital, we can have relatives bringing food to us from outside too luckily): we have tea and biscuits for breakfast; lunch: pasta or rice (rarely soup) + meat (generally chicken but only cause its meat is lighter, but ofc we also have other types) or eggs/omelette or fish + vegetables (maybe boiled, but sometimes also fried fries) + fruits; dinner: vegs soup/pasta soup (rarely pasta and rice: soups are lighter and better before going to sleep especially if you cannot move from your bed) + meat, ham, omelette or fish (same as for lunch) + veggies/smashed potatoes + fruit. Sometimes we may be given something sweet too, like a little dessert (either for lunch or dinner). It depends on our conditions ofc. The first things I could eat after my surgery long ago were tea (to check if I could afford eating), ham and smashed potatoes, which are believed to be, alongside with soups (and boiled rice) some of the most easily digestible foods. That's basically what we can try to eat when we don't feel good with our stomach (maybe soup instead of tea).

Anyway we generally follow this same pattern when eating daily: first dish, second dish + veggies and fruits (which are very important for our health). But because we have never enough time to always eat like that, we have started cutting on it. Sometimes we do have bits of cheese here and there (maybe a slice between veggies and fruits) but to turn that into a dish is not that healthy (at least not too often). Bread with butter (and maybe some fruit jam or sugar) is good but not that healthy if I have to say... I mean if you don't eat it everyday is good, as I said above. It's all about doses.

Olive oil (esp. extra virgin), and other types of oils too, are believed to be healthier than butter or margarine, js. In fact we use oil much more than butter (even if in northern Italy, we still sometimes use butter to cook some kind of escalopes cause it makes them taste better)
