I'm counting calories. Well, not caloriess, but protein, carbs & sugars, and fats. And comparing prices: the protein is what I'm willing to pay the money for. Sugars and trans fat, they should be giving for free.
Turns out I was eating extremely well when I first got my own place, many years ago. Even by today's standards. I had frozen cod for protein, oats for carbs, and flax for fat. Right now, the evening porridge I have with the hops is pretty bad. The raisins are not as good a sweetener as I thought: mostly sugars. Fructose, of course, I should have known. Even the coffee creamer is better: 57 % carbs and only 8.5 % sugars. I can't eat hops without doing something to mask the bitterness. Honey is mostly glucose and fructose too.
My younger daughter made a really nice apple pie for father's day. We had the rest of it yesterday. This morning, I woke up with beautiful, full and heavy breatsts. But the scale and the tape around my waist showed me the price I was paying for them. Over the past year, I managed to lower Waist-to-Hip Ratio as my bust size increased. It wasn't really consistent, though: every sudden increase in breast size was accompanied by an increase in WHR. Each time, after losing the weight, I picked up the trend again: bigger breasts, slimmer waist. The waist slimming herbs do this: fenugreek, goat's rue, black seed. Maybe I should look into milk thistle again. But I'm not fooling myself: a WHR of 0.7 will take either corseting or better nutrition. Cut out sugars, and get most of the fat with omega-3 fatty acids. Fish oil has a bad rep on this forum. So that leaves flax and chia seeds. I read that grass fed animals have higher omega-3 fatty acids too:
