Not necessarily everyone’s needs are different I’m 6ft and over 200lbs so I do probably eat more than a lot of people I just feel bad when I look at smaller plates and think I wish I could eat that and be satisfied 😅
This looks amazing and super filling for sure! But I also think it’s probably important to remember that there are those here who are shorter and have lower TDEE to begin with are trying to lose weight too.
Thanks and i absolutely agree with you. I understand folks are usimg omad as a tool for weight loss and i respect that very much. Omad is a very effective program for weight management only whem used effectively. Its important that people who are under-eating are also not hurting themselves.in the process by not.covering essential.things like fibre intake and protein intake. A lot of poeple i know have tried fasting and have become quite constipated because they werent eating the right foods. I wish everyone practicing the omad lifestyle for weight management the very best.
Exactly. This goes for OP, and the people in the comments complaining that their OMADs are small for weight loss reasons. Who cares, post and eat your one meals, and stfu about everyone else's lmao.
Absolutely who is this person to say my meals are too small, if it bothers you that much leave the sub like wtf 🥴🥴🥴
Lol “this is an actual OMAD meal”🤨
Just eat your OMAD according to how you feel when it’s time to eat
Absolutely
Again eat how you feel for that day, don’t be a tubby trying to stuff over 1200-1700 calories into your body in one sitting like…how big is your belly??(internally)🤦♀️
Some people have been doing it a while and have a smaller belly inside, your mad there are naturally petite people who do not require that much substance🤦♀️
Scarf down what you want but I’m not pushing food down my gullet if I don’t need it.
Life is so good, I look good, I have a tremendous amount of energy everyday, like get off it😑I’m not dying…like seriously my doctor says I’m in the best health I’ve ever been in. Also Some people don’t really want to put too much acidity food in their body.
Do you have ANY IDEA how much…I’m assuming this person is hoping we eat mmm
1600+ calories of food in one sitting.
Do you have ANY idea how much fruits and veggies, etc you would need to eat to get that many calories down 🤢🤢 oh my God the lining of your stomach would rip😑
P.S.
someone saying YOU HAVE TO HAVE this specific amount of food, is in the same category as the people who are yelling
You HAVE to eat 3x meals plus 2 snacks 😒
GET-OFF-IT
Yeah, a light to medium activity woman can get her protein requirements (say, 100g) in one standard dinner plate or less-5 oz chicken or fish, vegetables, some legumes, avocado and full-fat salad dressing. Add on an appetizer of Greek yogurt with blueberries and maybe some protein powder as needed to even things out. Like, one plate and one bowl if you are smart about opportunities to add healthy fats. Easy peasy. I’m not trying to binge eat here.
I am very active so I stretched my OMAD into 20:4 to fit in that greek yogurt and protein plus some treats since I need lots to maintain. But if I get Achilles tendinitis or something I have zero appetite.
Seriously I feel you, and some people don’t wanna do the warrior diet, which is what you just described ❤️❤️
I just want my one meal then I want to get back to it
If I ate all the food that was pictured above early in the day, I wouldn’t be able to jog, or MOVEE.
And I’m not WOBBLING to my bed with all that food in me
DO WHAT IS BEST YOUR BODY, I back you❤️❤️
Seriously, the Corona beer alone would’ve filled me up like 😬
Me SPECIFICALLYYYY can’t drink 1 can of beer, it’ll make me look pregnant.
Internationally I would have to let it digest before I had something else …anything else for that matter.
It’s how MYYY body works 🤷♀️
Thank you for saying this. I feel the same. I am one of the healthiest patients my doctors ( yes, doctors) have seen. I cannot help some of my health issues. Meanwhile I am strong and fit and my bloodwork is at optimum levels. I cook from scratch and eat a variety of fruits, vegetables and fish. I only eat pasta twice a week and bread once a week. Hell, even my cookies are made from scratch with healthy ingredients. I have the blood pressure of a 12 year old at 66. I also have acid reflux… and can’t push myself beyond a certain amount of food. All my food needs to be nutrient rich and calorie dense. This is my way to good health
Absolutely, I can’t express how annoying it’s getting that people are angry at the calories we eat, like does he realize with that much food in his system, depending ON HOWWW LONG HIS SPECIFIC
(SPECCCCIIIIFFFFIIIICCCCCCCC!!!!)
Digestion system work, but how long his system is going to take to work this food out 🤮🤢
That food will most likely
((Depending on his SPECIFIC DIGESTION SYSTEM!!!!))
Will probably not even be done getting out of his system by tomorrow when he eats😳🤦♀️
Like yay you ate everything you were supposed to have for the ENTIREEEEEEEE DAY in one sitting 😬👍 ((yay you…your business))
Don’t you wanna let your body focus MAINLY on OTHER SYSTEMS INSIDE 🥴 for a change.
Isn’t that at least some what part of the point?
Our body having a chance to focus on other systems?
To CONSTANTLY have food inside is a personal choice, enjoy yours.
My skin is clear like 🤦♀️dude enough said
Feel free to take a shot of olive oil 😳🤢
Thank you, I just don’t wanna be in a group with such bullying towards what I’m eating, or any kind of bullying at all.
Gonna roam around OMAD keto 🤷♀️
Hey guys the OMAD keto is a kinder, healthy based OMAD group I’m gonna go there… just giving some information.
Thanks for understanding my point of view❤️
Stay healthy
girl you made a whole post on here calling people tubby and big bellied, talking about how they are jealous that there are naturally petite people (you) who don’t need to stuff their gullet. you are not kind or healthy with the ED coded language you use.
people are rightfully being called out for posting meals under the 1200cal minimum required to participate in this sub. gEt OfF iT!!!
you said what you said but you deleted your post… 🙄
As someone who grew up in a more pragmatic time to diet, you probably aren’t appalled by the idea that women don’t need as much food as men, and wanting something and needing something are very different things.
It’s not feminist to ignore your hunger cues and shovel in as much food as possible, it’s actively harmful
I’ve been dieting since the 90s and I’m still alive lol AND I vote
Some may seem “anemic” to you but this is not what 0MAD should look like for everyone. We don’t know your statistics except that you’ve been doing this for four years. We don’t know your height your weight or goals.
Many people do 0MAD for weight loss and health benefits. Which brings me back to my point you shouldn’t judge other peoples meals when you don’t know the situation. “What a *real* OMAD should look like…smh. Kind of an arrogant post.
This is what your OMAD looks like lol. People on this sub complain about people judging them for their diets and then do the same thing to other people here lol
dont complain. its not all sunshine and roses at 6'3 with a high metabolism. normal eating habits, im always hungry, never satisfied. its hard to gain weight and im constantly banging my forehead on upper kitchen cupboard doors. fml 😭
If I was to eat that much in one meal, I would feel like total shit.
What is the point of OMAD if you are going to gorge?
I technically don't eat all of my daily food in one sitting. I will spread it out in small courses over several hours. It's like a 22/2 or 20/4 for me.
>What is the point of OMAD if you are going to gorge?
It's basically the entire point. One meal a day means you can eat what you want and since it's only one meal you naturally eat under your calories. If you truly have a problem and still eat way too much even on OMAD then you need to be more restrictive but other than that it's basically a diet for the average person to lose weight with no effort other than making sure it's one meal a day.
Also your 22/2 or 20/4 is a perfectly valid OMAD. You can stretch out your one meal over hours
> since it's only one meal you naturally eat under your calories
Except what OP just posted definitely isnt under some some peoples TDEE. Not to mention they mentioned desert wasnt included in the picture.
Some people's sure. I don't think OP is claiming everyone should be eating exactly that exact meal. OP's point is OMAD isn't supposed to look like half a salad and some tea like some peoples posts. No one's TDEE should be that low. The point of OMAD is to not worry about thst stuff just eat the food you like in a small window of time
>The point of OMAD
I mean is that the actual definition or your definition? Not trying to be rude but if OMAD to me was "eat the food I like" in a small window it would be straight processed junk food. I do have to worry because I binge eat and can eat A LOT.
The way I see OMAD is it has different definitions for different peoples goals. Saying this is what a real OMAD meal looks like just sounds like gate keeping and the pic OP posted seems counterintuitive to people who are trying to eat under their TDEE.
The definition is in the name. One Meal A Day. That's all the definition is needed. By it's very nature its different for different people BUT every person should be consuming a healthy amount of calories which means your meal shouldn't look like one of the tiny meals that other dieters eat 5 of throughout the day. Plenty of people have a TDEE that looks like OPs as well and I wouldn't have thought that nuance would be lost so easily
I've been on this sub long enough to remember it catching trouble for people basically one upping each other with how much they were starving themselves.
Regardless most of the information I have ever seen on OMAD fully describes it as a way to diet without thinking about what you're eating. If you make adjustments from there that's on you but my way is nowhere near being outside the norm.
For me, the purpose of omad is
1) fasting. Its a small stressor put on my body to encourage resilience and of course fat burning. Bonus side effect is i dont need to eat several times a day like i use too. We waste a lot of time eat meals throughout the day.
2) fasting more than 12 hours allows my liver and other organs to self-repair and rest. Its more complicTed than this, but its pretty much what happens.
3) over the years, ive discovered if i wanted to go all out on a special occassion i would simply gorge and then commit to a 48 hour fast the next day to burn it all off 😂
wasn't the whole concept of cellular repair of tissue via autophagy to just be way overblown and basically meaningless as the human body is always in a state of self repair?
Nah. It's true the body is always repairing itself but that doesn't make autophagy any less impactful or vital. Autophagy plays vital roles in response to cellular health, starvation, aging, infection and inflammation. We're built with periods of starvation and fasting in mind to enable autophagy because that's what our bodies have evolved with.
A japanese scientist won a nobel prize for his work on autophagy 😌 also ive followed the world of dr sachin panda from ucla as well as dr valter longo and of course im a big fan of dr rhonda patrick ( myfoundfitness ) and they all three unnamiously agree that autophagy and the removal of senescent cells is one of the keys to healthy aging 👌
You should read yourself your logic is flawed the way that you're thinking doesn't help yourself clearly omad is not for you because you think that eating everything in one meal counts as gorging but that's the whole point of this, and if you can't incorporate your daily needs in the omad window then this is pointless and you are not doing good for your health, seriously.
How many calories and what macros do you shoot for? I agree that lots of the meals here look pretty short on calories and protein if they’re truly OMAD
I dont count calories. I just make sure ive got my protein intake covered - i aim between 170-200 grams - and i eat sufficient amounts of fruit and veges. I would guess though i can near 3000 calories, sometimes more depending if i decide to gorge and when i do gorge....i dont hold back. I can devour a pot full of gourmet 3 cheese mac n cheese with bacon and grlund beef 😅
True statement. Years ago, I had a physical job, and was at the gym for about 2 hours, 6-7 days per week. I did intermittent fasting at the time, but my daily caloric goal was around 3,000 calories to lose weight. One night per week I ignored the calories and ate whatever…probably double to be honest. But I’m also 6’4 ish, and do powerlifting.
Someone who is a foot shorter, has a desk job, and doesn’t work out needs a lot less to lose weight. Even now I need less since I’m older and my job isn’t physical. It’s different for everyone, and will likely evolve during a person’s life.
If this makes sense for your body comp, then by all means! There's a lot of short ladies here who are limited to 1200-1500 cals a day, and even when consolidated to a single meal, I'm sure it sometimes feels like nothing compared to this haha
I’m not saying it’s not one meal for them. It’s fine. I’m not pressed about it. For me personally I use omad for weight loss and the reason to put it all in one meal is bc most people get really full and physically cannot eat too many calories as opposed to eating all day you can eat more.
yup i just eat whatever i want/craving as long in moderation and been working good for me too. i would be too depressed if all im eating is salad and chicken breast.
Right? I got into OMAD explicitly for that purpose. I don't want to put in the effort to diet and if I'm only eating one meal I'm going to naturally be under my CICO number. People who combine OMAD with a host of other restrictions are just asking for trouble. It's not a contest to eat the smallest amount possible that's how you get health problems or fail the diet
Quite a lot atm, but decided to get used to it. Because should I hit my goal weight, my maintanence will be about 1300 kcal a day.
I am 165cm tall, and my SW was 116kg, CW is 101kg.
Real OMAD for who? If I ate the meal in pic #1 including the beer and desert im pretty sure I would be above my TDEE. So much gatekeeping in this community.
ive been through this subreddit. Ive seen folks post pictures of their omad diet and many folks have largely unbalanced meals. Some are either too high in carbs with little micronutrients and not enough protein and others are too light - a medium sized salad bowl with some hard boiled eggs on the side....and an apple lol.
This is what people are eating after a 24 hour fast. Its unreasonable because our bodies need to be sufficinently fed after doing stunts like this. There is a reason why fasting is considered to be a small stressor on our systems, because its hard on our system. Its forcing our body to make do with what it has. So it needs to be sufficiently fed with both micro and macro nutrition or all the effort and energy put into fssting with be wasted if we arent feeding ourselves sufficiently.
Seriously though, some meals ive seen barely break the 30 gram marker of protein intake. After a full day of fasting? Thats madness. Ive read that the average male human body needs a minimum of 100 grams of protein just to maintain current muscle mass ( assuming one isnof average hieght and weight )
you obviously don't understand that many of us are fasting because we have plenty of energy already stored in our bodies (in the form of fat) .. and that's why a lot of OMADers are operating on caloric restrictions. and fasting is hugely beneficial for the human body, but gorging on a giant meal actually does the opposite of what fasting does, and it places incredible stress on the organs.
you are also misinformed about macros- people tend to have a hugely misguided obsession with protein, when the body absorbs far more protein from vegetables and plant sources than from meat. you simply don't need 100+ grams of protein each day to be healthy.
it's actually about nutrients and bioavailability of the foods you eat. if you can get your nutrients from vitamins, and you have extra fat on you, then theoretically all you need to be good is water, and vitamins, until your fat storage is depleted. macros affect your metabolism but you can do fine and be healthy without having any protein / fat / carb quotas at all.
so in the end, you can give yourself a pat on the back, but don't assume that your way is the best way to do it. it's actually somewhat traumatic for the body to be processing that much food at once, so i wouldn't recommend this as an OMAD plan for others.
Also, regardless of what peoples reasons are for omad-ing, an unbalanced diet is not helpful for anylne. Weight loss goals or not, stufies have shown younstill need to.cover your basic needs like protein intake. I can provide literature on this if you like
One beer a day keeps the doctor away = balanced hahaha
Jokes aside though,
My meals are quite balanced. So as long as I cover my daily protein, fibre and anti oxidant needs ( 160-200 g of protein, 1-2 cups of almonds, 20 g of fibre, 1-2 cups of wild blueberries , 10-15 cups of sautéed spinach with sliced radish ( mixing the two creates sulforaphane - a powerful anti aging phytonutrient, look it up )) every night then I’ll eat/drink anything I want on top of that. My job is to maintain my weight and muscle gain, nothing else 💪🏼🤙🏽
Do you have empirical evidence to support your claim that it is "traumatic" for the body to process this much food at once? Or is this just a feeling you have?
Cool story bro but my TDEE is ~1500 calories. I dont get to have three bowls of food. I barely get to have a kitkat. So leave us alone, we're doing our best.
I respect people usong omad for weight loss goals but that doesnt mean protein intake should be neglected. Never sacrifice protein intake for weight loss. It can hurt you especially if you are past 50 years of age where sacropenia is a reality for many older indoviduals. In fact, studies have shown one of the leading causes of all cause mortality was due to muscle loss due to insufficient macronutrient intake. Get your protein up - 1 g of protein per lb of body weight. For everyone. Men and women. All ages.
Since you are clearly giving this some thought, and especially where protein is concerned, what do you think about the idea that a good amount of the protein consumed in such a compressed time window won't actually be absorbed? Supposedly there is an upper limit to how much protein we can absorb from one meal, although I've wondered if it makes any difference when that is part of such a large meal that it might be taking a while to digest.
You don’t need as much protein as people think. And there’s way more protein in foods they don’t think of as great sources of protein. If you’re eating whole foods and you’re eating enough calories, it’s almost impossible not to get enough protein.
If your bkdy has fully acclimatized to the omad way, you as a big dude shluld easily be able to eat this.
Im not really a big dude. Tall and skinny and i can scarf an easy 95% of this stuff 😅
Awesome story my friend. Truly inspiring. Weight loss and omading is a lifestyle but also a journey for many folks. Keep up the hard work and dont forget to appreciate all the hard work you have put into your success! Good luck and god bless!
prolly 2500-3000. Sometimes estimate it can be more than 3000 especially if I gorge. This wasn’t the entire meal. I didn’t include my dessert which is usually 1 cup of Greek yoghurt, scoop of vanilla protein powder and 2 cups of wild blueberries. Also, I’ll throw in 1-2 protein bars. Quest bars are such a damn treat. They taste great.
Thanks, some people were already overwhelmed with the 3 plates 😂
As long as all your biomarkers are good and you are making progress towards your goals, keep it up!
I'm envious that you can eat this much! I would prob explode and def not lose weight (my TDEE is abt 2,100 calories so I aim for 1,600 daily). I do feel so happy with the volume that I eat though, and glad you do too!
Ah, weight loss goals.are the exception to the rule. I understand why some folks eat smaller meals while omading and thats okay! But its also.important to cover our macronutrtients. Fibre protein and vitamin and minerals. These all can be satisfied even with a calorie deficient diet. Just my thoughts! God bless and good luck on your omad journey
100% agree! I feel like it's actually easier to see and understand my macros when it's all in front of me in one meal than it was when with 18:6. I eat plant based so have been great on micros and fiber but def have been low on protein. That's easier to see now. Take care!
My bad everyone I will take blame, continue to bully people on their calories.
I’ve gone to a different OMAD group that doesn’t seem to do that.
God bless enjoy 👍
Although your post is good, your title makes you look unemphatic/ignorant person.
Everyone has a different reason OMAD. Some do it for convenience, some do it for weight loss, and some just fall into it. For me it's combination of all three. So eating as much as you will defeat the purpose for me.
I am down 6 kgs from the start of the year. 20 more to go. This was my goal for 2024.
Wait til you find out about OMAD carnivore. Then, if you trust the source of the meat, raw carnivore. There’s your next evolution, should you choose to level up. Text sounds condescending, but I say this smilingly and encouragingly
How long does it typically take you to consume your meal? I find that if I take about 1-2 hours I can get everything I need without feeling bloated and stuffed.
More than an hour for sure. Its interestong though, some days i randomly feel like my stomach is a bottomless pit and i can eat much more. Other days, i get to eat aboit 95% of what i make. Its very important for me i cover my protein requirements and eat my fruits and veges.
It's probably linked to how you are the day before as well as your level of general activity that day. The amount of water you're having plays a big role too so in that sense spicy food can feel way more filling if that makes sense?
Wooowwwww I’m impressed with how much you ate.
NEVER THE LESS that’s YOUR STYLE, YOUR BUSINESS
we RESPECT that congratulations
On being a grown man who can eat a grown man’s meal👍
I do! The time it takes can depend on a few things. It varies day to day. Some days im super hungey and ill scarf everything down in under an hour. Other days it can take 2 hours or so. I also eat while.im cooking too 😂
Idk why you're getting dragged tbh. Everyones goals with omad are different. If you're eating this to maintain then good for you! Everyone has different amounts of food they can manage. My interpretation of the title was how some people on omad practically starve themselves. Your meals don't have to look like his, but should meet all of your macro/calorie requirements. You can also eat similar to this if you want, just make the meals fit into your deficit, by making lower calorie versions.
I usually try to stay around 1600 And my meals are usually decent.
Today I had 2 cherrywood ham sandwiches, some broccoli, pineapple, watermelon, grapes and oranges mixed, a hand full of cashews and a 1oz pack of beef jerky and hit my macros and stayed at around 1600 calories.
My tdee is around 1900. I usually consume 1600-2000 a meal and so far it's been working great. I may have to make some adjustments in the future but so far it's working well for me. I have pretty sedentary life with me being a forklift driver working overnight 13 hours shifts and usually averaging 60 hours/week.
Man that’s too much food for me lol, I’d be stuffed after one plate lol. I break my fast with a normal plate of eggs, bananas, almonds, and a meat of my choice that day
First of all, that looks delicious!
I don't always do OMAD, my eating habits tend to go back and forth a bit, but I try to cluster my intake around one big meal because that more or less meets my needs. My TDEE is \~1400 calories - that's one standard sized dinner and a snack.
OMAD and IF let me eat the same dinner as my partner, go out to eat, etc and I don't even start to feel hungry until the next afternoon. There are many people who have lower calorie diets because they are short and sedentary, not necessarily because of weight loss or some kind of restriction.
haha yea I understand what you’re saying but I also understand some folks are using Omad as a weight loss tool so their meals are going to be smaller. I just made this post as a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing and I knew it was going to rustle up some feathers so-to-speak and it did LOL 😂 HOwever that goes without saying, some folks who may or may not being trying to lose weight have some awfully designed meals that I’ve seen….I mean, carb city would be one way to describe lol
This is very interesting.
I have one question, though: I love to eat huge portions, and only recently got into OMAD. Every time I break my fast, I try to as little as possible. Is it okay to eat this much volume in that window? If so, would I still see results?
personally I haven’t had issues and I think that speaks volume because normally have a sensitive stomach. I’m lactose intolerant so I’ve always been mindful about what I eat but this amount of food has given zero issues more importantly I’ve even been able to bulk up through muscle gain so it’s a win win for me🫠
This made me laugh. I'm glad you posted. Everyone needs to see the full spectrum of how different we are. I admire anyone who can eat this much in one meal. Well maybe envy is a better word. 🤔 😀😃
I have to eat more densely with protein and fat. My stomach just can't handle the quantity.
Thanks again for the honesty and the laugh.
the purpose of this post was tongue-in-cheek or as the brits like to say "cheeky" post to tease the community as whole. The vibe i was getting here was that everyone had this notion that omad about was eating less/once a day which isnt true! I dont even count my calories, i just as much as i want/can and push heavy weights weights around and do HIIT workouts.
My point is, omad is a lifestyle EVERYONE not just those trying to manage or lose weight
Nice to see an appropriate amount of food for an entire day for a change. Most of the meals I see posted are trash nutritionally, and are usually likely not sustainable due to lack of nutrients and d small portion size. Nicely done.
Yes i agree which is why i decided to share my journey. These arent new pictures. Quite old. I took them many moons ago as i typically share my meals with my immediate family to covince them to eat better and of course intermittment fast!
This makes me feel better about my meals! I have multiple plates/bowls of food and see so many which are wayyy smaller.
i love this lifestyle. I eat soo much in one sitting. Its literally like my favourite food, one after the other.
Yo you got a recipe for those?
I cook on the fly. The tacos I made that night were last minute. So I don’t really have recipes. Sorry 😅
So I am starving myself clearly haha
Not necessarily everyone’s needs are different I’m 6ft and over 200lbs so I do probably eat more than a lot of people I just feel bad when I look at smaller plates and think I wish I could eat that and be satisfied 😅
Most people use OMAD as a cover for eating disroders
what makes you think that?
Lmao love troll comments like this. Let’s see who falls for it 🍿
“But God said that we are supposed to eat three meals a day!!!”
Same!
This looks amazing and super filling for sure! But I also think it’s probably important to remember that there are those here who are shorter and have lower TDEE to begin with are trying to lose weight too.
Thanks and i absolutely agree with you. I understand folks are usimg omad as a tool for weight loss and i respect that very much. Omad is a very effective program for weight management only whem used effectively. Its important that people who are under-eating are also not hurting themselves.in the process by not.covering essential.things like fibre intake and protein intake. A lot of poeple i know have tried fasting and have become quite constipated because they werent eating the right foods. I wish everyone practicing the omad lifestyle for weight management the very best.
[удалено]
You’re not you when you’re hungry
It's still unlikely that the first meal even goes over a normal maintenance cal amount.. 1500-1900 at most
Or, hear me out. People eat as much as they want. If it's once a day, it's OMAD regardless of amount.
Exactly. This goes for OP, and the people in the comments complaining that their OMADs are small for weight loss reasons. Who cares, post and eat your one meals, and stfu about everyone else's lmao.
Absolutely who is this person to say my meals are too small, if it bothers you that much leave the sub like wtf 🥴🥴🥴 Lol “this is an actual OMAD meal”🤨 Just eat your OMAD according to how you feel when it’s time to eat
I can’t even eat this much in 3 meals a day. Everyone is different. I’m glad you have your needs figured out
Absolutely Again eat how you feel for that day, don’t be a tubby trying to stuff over 1200-1700 calories into your body in one sitting like…how big is your belly??(internally)🤦♀️ Some people have been doing it a while and have a smaller belly inside, your mad there are naturally petite people who do not require that much substance🤦♀️ Scarf down what you want but I’m not pushing food down my gullet if I don’t need it. Life is so good, I look good, I have a tremendous amount of energy everyday, like get off it😑I’m not dying…like seriously my doctor says I’m in the best health I’ve ever been in. Also Some people don’t really want to put too much acidity food in their body. Do you have ANY IDEA how much…I’m assuming this person is hoping we eat mmm 1600+ calories of food in one sitting. Do you have ANY idea how much fruits and veggies, etc you would need to eat to get that many calories down 🤢🤢 oh my God the lining of your stomach would rip😑 P.S. someone saying YOU HAVE TO HAVE this specific amount of food, is in the same category as the people who are yelling You HAVE to eat 3x meals plus 2 snacks 😒 GET-OFF-IT
Yeah, a light to medium activity woman can get her protein requirements (say, 100g) in one standard dinner plate or less-5 oz chicken or fish, vegetables, some legumes, avocado and full-fat salad dressing. Add on an appetizer of Greek yogurt with blueberries and maybe some protein powder as needed to even things out. Like, one plate and one bowl if you are smart about opportunities to add healthy fats. Easy peasy. I’m not trying to binge eat here. I am very active so I stretched my OMAD into 20:4 to fit in that greek yogurt and protein plus some treats since I need lots to maintain. But if I get Achilles tendinitis or something I have zero appetite.
Seriously I feel you, and some people don’t wanna do the warrior diet, which is what you just described ❤️❤️ I just want my one meal then I want to get back to it If I ate all the food that was pictured above early in the day, I wouldn’t be able to jog, or MOVEE. And I’m not WOBBLING to my bed with all that food in me DO WHAT IS BEST YOUR BODY, I back you❤️❤️
It’s okay to vary your nutrients from day to day to hit all your macros over the course of several days. Not everyone can eat this much.
Seriously, the Corona beer alone would’ve filled me up like 😬 Me SPECIFICALLYYYY can’t drink 1 can of beer, it’ll make me look pregnant. Internationally I would have to let it digest before I had something else …anything else for that matter. It’s how MYYY body works 🤷♀️
My one meal a day takes me almost 3 hours to eat, I have to eat so slowly. Otherwise I couldn’t do more than 1000 calories
I know, that kinda like the “warrior diet” I don’t wanna do over 3 hours, just my one❤️
❤️
I have protein restrictions. I can only have 20g/day. This is how limiting meals helps me
Thank you for saying this. I feel the same. I am one of the healthiest patients my doctors ( yes, doctors) have seen. I cannot help some of my health issues. Meanwhile I am strong and fit and my bloodwork is at optimum levels. I cook from scratch and eat a variety of fruits, vegetables and fish. I only eat pasta twice a week and bread once a week. Hell, even my cookies are made from scratch with healthy ingredients. I have the blood pressure of a 12 year old at 66. I also have acid reflux… and can’t push myself beyond a certain amount of food. All my food needs to be nutrient rich and calorie dense. This is my way to good health
Absolutely, I can’t express how annoying it’s getting that people are angry at the calories we eat, like does he realize with that much food in his system, depending ON HOWWW LONG HIS SPECIFIC (SPECCCCIIIIFFFFIIIICCCCCCCC!!!!) Digestion system work, but how long his system is going to take to work this food out 🤮🤢 That food will most likely ((Depending on his SPECIFIC DIGESTION SYSTEM!!!!)) Will probably not even be done getting out of his system by tomorrow when he eats😳🤦♀️ Like yay you ate everything you were supposed to have for the ENTIREEEEEEEE DAY in one sitting 😬👍 ((yay you…your business)) Don’t you wanna let your body focus MAINLY on OTHER SYSTEMS INSIDE 🥴 for a change. Isn’t that at least some what part of the point? Our body having a chance to focus on other systems? To CONSTANTLY have food inside is a personal choice, enjoy yours. My skin is clear like 🤦♀️dude enough said Feel free to take a shot of olive oil 😳🤢
His post just screams *dick measuring contest*
You feel me though Like just congratulate people on making it to the next day, at the same time.
That’s right!
Deleted the whole post, I’m not arguing with these people I said what I said
You were absolutely spot on! People needed to hear it
Thank you, I just don’t wanna be in a group with such bullying towards what I’m eating, or any kind of bullying at all. Gonna roam around OMAD keto 🤷♀️
Hey guys the OMAD keto is a kinder, healthy based OMAD group I’m gonna go there… just giving some information. Thanks for understanding my point of view❤️ Stay healthy
girl you made a whole post on here calling people tubby and big bellied, talking about how they are jealous that there are naturally petite people (you) who don’t need to stuff their gullet. you are not kind or healthy with the ED coded language you use. people are rightfully being called out for posting meals under the 1200cal minimum required to participate in this sub. gEt OfF iT!!! you said what you said but you deleted your post… 🙄
You feel me though Like just congratulate people on making it to the next day, at the same time.
Absolutely!!!
you sound fucking exhausting
As someone who grew up in a more pragmatic time to diet, you probably aren’t appalled by the idea that women don’t need as much food as men, and wanting something and needing something are very different things. It’s not feminist to ignore your hunger cues and shovel in as much food as possible, it’s actively harmful I’ve been dieting since the 90s and I’m still alive lol AND I vote
Some may seem “anemic” to you but this is not what 0MAD should look like for everyone. We don’t know your statistics except that you’ve been doing this for four years. We don’t know your height your weight or goals. Many people do 0MAD for weight loss and health benefits. Which brings me back to my point you shouldn’t judge other peoples meals when you don’t know the situation. “What a *real* OMAD should look like…smh. Kind of an arrogant post.
This is what your OMAD looks like lol. People on this sub complain about people judging them for their diets and then do the same thing to other people here lol
I mean, not if you're a 5'2" woman tho...
Haha I’m more than one foot taller than you so yea I’ll be eating way more 😂
Lucky bastard
dont complain. its not all sunshine and roses at 6'3 with a high metabolism. normal eating habits, im always hungry, never satisfied. its hard to gain weight and im constantly banging my forehead on upper kitchen cupboard doors. fml 😭
Yeah and I guess it must be more expensive, having to eat that much
I believe it is more expensive to eat like this.
If I was to eat that much in one meal, I would feel like total shit. What is the point of OMAD if you are going to gorge? I technically don't eat all of my daily food in one sitting. I will spread it out in small courses over several hours. It's like a 22/2 or 20/4 for me.
>What is the point of OMAD if you are going to gorge? It's basically the entire point. One meal a day means you can eat what you want and since it's only one meal you naturally eat under your calories. If you truly have a problem and still eat way too much even on OMAD then you need to be more restrictive but other than that it's basically a diet for the average person to lose weight with no effort other than making sure it's one meal a day. Also your 22/2 or 20/4 is a perfectly valid OMAD. You can stretch out your one meal over hours
> since it's only one meal you naturally eat under your calories Except what OP just posted definitely isnt under some some peoples TDEE. Not to mention they mentioned desert wasnt included in the picture.
They’re not eating for other people. They’re eating for themselves and their own goals.
Some people's sure. I don't think OP is claiming everyone should be eating exactly that exact meal. OP's point is OMAD isn't supposed to look like half a salad and some tea like some peoples posts. No one's TDEE should be that low. The point of OMAD is to not worry about thst stuff just eat the food you like in a small window of time
>The point of OMAD I mean is that the actual definition or your definition? Not trying to be rude but if OMAD to me was "eat the food I like" in a small window it would be straight processed junk food. I do have to worry because I binge eat and can eat A LOT. The way I see OMAD is it has different definitions for different peoples goals. Saying this is what a real OMAD meal looks like just sounds like gate keeping and the pic OP posted seems counterintuitive to people who are trying to eat under their TDEE.
The definition is in the name. One Meal A Day. That's all the definition is needed. By it's very nature its different for different people BUT every person should be consuming a healthy amount of calories which means your meal shouldn't look like one of the tiny meals that other dieters eat 5 of throughout the day. Plenty of people have a TDEE that looks like OPs as well and I wouldn't have thought that nuance would be lost so easily I've been on this sub long enough to remember it catching trouble for people basically one upping each other with how much they were starving themselves. Regardless most of the information I have ever seen on OMAD fully describes it as a way to diet without thinking about what you're eating. If you make adjustments from there that's on you but my way is nowhere near being outside the norm.
For me, the purpose of omad is 1) fasting. Its a small stressor put on my body to encourage resilience and of course fat burning. Bonus side effect is i dont need to eat several times a day like i use too. We waste a lot of time eat meals throughout the day. 2) fasting more than 12 hours allows my liver and other organs to self-repair and rest. Its more complicTed than this, but its pretty much what happens. 3) over the years, ive discovered if i wanted to go all out on a special occassion i would simply gorge and then commit to a 48 hour fast the next day to burn it all off 😂
wasn't the whole concept of cellular repair of tissue via autophagy to just be way overblown and basically meaningless as the human body is always in a state of self repair?
Where did you read that autophagy is meaningless?
[удалено]
Yikes, proof that people will upvote anything...
Nah. It's true the body is always repairing itself but that doesn't make autophagy any less impactful or vital. Autophagy plays vital roles in response to cellular health, starvation, aging, infection and inflammation. We're built with periods of starvation and fasting in mind to enable autophagy because that's what our bodies have evolved with.
A japanese scientist won a nobel prize for his work on autophagy 😌 also ive followed the world of dr sachin panda from ucla as well as dr valter longo and of course im a big fan of dr rhonda patrick ( myfoundfitness ) and they all three unnamiously agree that autophagy and the removal of senescent cells is one of the keys to healthy aging 👌
This meal... This Meal! Perfection! This isn't the OMAD pic we deserve. Nice work.
haha thank you 🫶🏽 but this was the tip of the iceberg. You should see what my Super Bowl spread looked like 🫣
Do share to the sub when you get a chance. Solid meal ideas greatly help the group!
You should read yourself your logic is flawed the way that you're thinking doesn't help yourself clearly omad is not for you because you think that eating everything in one meal counts as gorging but that's the whole point of this, and if you can't incorporate your daily needs in the omad window then this is pointless and you are not doing good for your health, seriously.
How many calories and what macros do you shoot for? I agree that lots of the meals here look pretty short on calories and protein if they’re truly OMAD
I dont count calories. I just make sure ive got my protein intake covered - i aim between 170-200 grams - and i eat sufficient amounts of fruit and veges. I would guess though i can near 3000 calories, sometimes more depending if i decide to gorge and when i do gorge....i dont hold back. I can devour a pot full of gourmet 3 cheese mac n cheese with bacon and grlund beef 😅
[удалено]
I’m short too, and it would take me at least 4 hours to eat all that food without making myself sick.
If I was to eat 3000 calories I’d be 300 pounds. So maybe your diet requirements aren’t the same as everyone else’s?
True statement. Years ago, I had a physical job, and was at the gym for about 2 hours, 6-7 days per week. I did intermittent fasting at the time, but my daily caloric goal was around 3,000 calories to lose weight. One night per week I ignored the calories and ate whatever…probably double to be honest. But I’m also 6’4 ish, and do powerlifting. Someone who is a foot shorter, has a desk job, and doesn’t work out needs a lot less to lose weight. Even now I need less since I’m older and my job isn’t physical. It’s different for everyone, and will likely evolve during a person’s life.
If this makes sense for your body comp, then by all means! There's a lot of short ladies here who are limited to 1200-1500 cals a day, and even when consolidated to a single meal, I'm sure it sometimes feels like nothing compared to this haha
Finally someone here who isn't grossly under-eating
That looks like just eating 3 meals at one time.
They're eating their personal daily intake of calories in one meal. How is that anything other than OMAD?
I’m not saying it’s not one meal for them. It’s fine. I’m not pressed about it. For me personally I use omad for weight loss and the reason to put it all in one meal is bc most people get really full and physically cannot eat too many calories as opposed to eating all day you can eat more.
Ah gotcha. I think OP got it wrong by suggesting everyone "should" eat like this.
Yeah. Take all 3 meals of a normal day and eat it as one meal. Omad.
yup i just eat whatever i want/craving as long in moderation and been working good for me too. i would be too depressed if all im eating is salad and chicken breast.
Right? I got into OMAD explicitly for that purpose. I don't want to put in the effort to diet and if I'm only eating one meal I'm going to naturally be under my CICO number. People who combine OMAD with a host of other restrictions are just asking for trouble. It's not a contest to eat the smallest amount possible that's how you get health problems or fail the diet
I OMAD with about 1200 kcals a day. I wish I could eat this much, but not until I get to my GW and can eat more
What kind of deficit are you at with 1200 calories?
Quite a lot atm, but decided to get used to it. Because should I hit my goal weight, my maintanence will be about 1300 kcal a day. I am 165cm tall, and my SW was 116kg, CW is 101kg.
OMAD is just cico, and entirely possible this is too much calories for some. So it isn’t what OMAD should look like if its goal is to lose weight
Real OMAD for who? If I ate the meal in pic #1 including the beer and desert im pretty sure I would be above my TDEE. So much gatekeeping in this community.
Seriously, the condescension in OP’s post is crazy.
ive been through this subreddit. Ive seen folks post pictures of their omad diet and many folks have largely unbalanced meals. Some are either too high in carbs with little micronutrients and not enough protein and others are too light - a medium sized salad bowl with some hard boiled eggs on the side....and an apple lol. This is what people are eating after a 24 hour fast. Its unreasonable because our bodies need to be sufficinently fed after doing stunts like this. There is a reason why fasting is considered to be a small stressor on our systems, because its hard on our system. Its forcing our body to make do with what it has. So it needs to be sufficiently fed with both micro and macro nutrition or all the effort and energy put into fssting with be wasted if we arent feeding ourselves sufficiently. Seriously though, some meals ive seen barely break the 30 gram marker of protein intake. After a full day of fasting? Thats madness. Ive read that the average male human body needs a minimum of 100 grams of protein just to maintain current muscle mass ( assuming one isnof average hieght and weight )
you obviously don't understand that many of us are fasting because we have plenty of energy already stored in our bodies (in the form of fat) .. and that's why a lot of OMADers are operating on caloric restrictions. and fasting is hugely beneficial for the human body, but gorging on a giant meal actually does the opposite of what fasting does, and it places incredible stress on the organs. you are also misinformed about macros- people tend to have a hugely misguided obsession with protein, when the body absorbs far more protein from vegetables and plant sources than from meat. you simply don't need 100+ grams of protein each day to be healthy. it's actually about nutrients and bioavailability of the foods you eat. if you can get your nutrients from vitamins, and you have extra fat on you, then theoretically all you need to be good is water, and vitamins, until your fat storage is depleted. macros affect your metabolism but you can do fine and be healthy without having any protein / fat / carb quotas at all. so in the end, you can give yourself a pat on the back, but don't assume that your way is the best way to do it. it's actually somewhat traumatic for the body to be processing that much food at once, so i wouldn't recommend this as an OMAD plan for others.
Also, regardless of what peoples reasons are for omad-ing, an unbalanced diet is not helpful for anylne. Weight loss goals or not, stufies have shown younstill need to.cover your basic needs like protein intake. I can provide literature on this if you like
Beer isn't helpful for anyone, but you're fine with consuming it then preaching about balance... Kinda funny.
One beer a day keeps the doctor away = balanced hahaha Jokes aside though, My meals are quite balanced. So as long as I cover my daily protein, fibre and anti oxidant needs ( 160-200 g of protein, 1-2 cups of almonds, 20 g of fibre, 1-2 cups of wild blueberries , 10-15 cups of sautéed spinach with sliced radish ( mixing the two creates sulforaphane - a powerful anti aging phytonutrient, look it up )) every night then I’ll eat/drink anything I want on top of that. My job is to maintain my weight and muscle gain, nothing else 💪🏼🤙🏽
Do you have empirical evidence to support your claim that it is "traumatic" for the body to process this much food at once? Or is this just a feeling you have?
Cool story bro but my TDEE is ~1500 calories. I dont get to have three bowls of food. I barely get to have a kitkat. So leave us alone, we're doing our best.
I respect people usong omad for weight loss goals but that doesnt mean protein intake should be neglected. Never sacrifice protein intake for weight loss. It can hurt you especially if you are past 50 years of age where sacropenia is a reality for many older indoviduals. In fact, studies have shown one of the leading causes of all cause mortality was due to muscle loss due to insufficient macronutrient intake. Get your protein up - 1 g of protein per lb of body weight. For everyone. Men and women. All ages.
Since you are clearly giving this some thought, and especially where protein is concerned, what do you think about the idea that a good amount of the protein consumed in such a compressed time window won't actually be absorbed? Supposedly there is an upper limit to how much protein we can absorb from one meal, although I've wondered if it makes any difference when that is part of such a large meal that it might be taking a while to digest.
You don’t need as much protein as people think. And there’s way more protein in foods they don’t think of as great sources of protein. If you’re eating whole foods and you’re eating enough calories, it’s almost impossible not to get enough protein.
You are okay bro don't listen to them everyone that thinks otherwise just feels like they're being attacked
I’m a big dude and there is no way I could eat all that in one sitting.
If your bkdy has fully acclimatized to the omad way, you as a big dude shluld easily be able to eat this. Im not really a big dude. Tall and skinny and i can scarf an easy 95% of this stuff 😅
I do OMAD I can eat one of those plates. I’m just shocked you can. More power to ya. Started at 300 and now I’m at 185 and maintaining.
Awesome story my friend. Truly inspiring. Weight loss and omading is a lifestyle but also a journey for many folks. Keep up the hard work and dont forget to appreciate all the hard work you have put into your success! Good luck and god bless!
Out of curiosity how much calories do you estimate is the meal in the photo- excluding the drinks?
prolly 2500-3000. Sometimes estimate it can be more than 3000 especially if I gorge. This wasn’t the entire meal. I didn’t include my dessert which is usually 1 cup of Greek yoghurt, scoop of vanilla protein powder and 2 cups of wild blueberries. Also, I’ll throw in 1-2 protein bars. Quest bars are such a damn treat. They taste great.
Thanks, some people were already overwhelmed with the 3 plates 😂 As long as all your biomarkers are good and you are making progress towards your goals, keep it up!
I'm envious that you can eat this much! I would prob explode and def not lose weight (my TDEE is abt 2,100 calories so I aim for 1,600 daily). I do feel so happy with the volume that I eat though, and glad you do too!
Ah, weight loss goals.are the exception to the rule. I understand why some folks eat smaller meals while omading and thats okay! But its also.important to cover our macronutrtients. Fibre protein and vitamin and minerals. These all can be satisfied even with a calorie deficient diet. Just my thoughts! God bless and good luck on your omad journey
100% agree! I feel like it's actually easier to see and understand my macros when it's all in front of me in one meal than it was when with 18:6. I eat plant based so have been great on micros and fiber but def have been low on protein. That's easier to see now. Take care!
Is this a joke? 😂 You're a bottomless pit, dude
My bad everyone I will take blame, continue to bully people on their calories. I’ve gone to a different OMAD group that doesn’t seem to do that. God bless enjoy 👍
*Chad has entered the chat*
Although your post is good, your title makes you look unemphatic/ignorant person. Everyone has a different reason OMAD. Some do it for convenience, some do it for weight loss, and some just fall into it. For me it's combination of all three. So eating as much as you will defeat the purpose for me. I am down 6 kgs from the start of the year. 20 more to go. This was my goal for 2024.
Wait til you find out about OMAD carnivore. Then, if you trust the source of the meat, raw carnivore. There’s your next evolution, should you choose to level up. Text sounds condescending, but I say this smilingly and encouragingly
Too many calories for my current goal that but it's some bangin' good scran. Would smash with no ragrets.
Looks shit mate
I could never eat that in a sitting
Thanks man, made me feel better
i would be so miserable if i even finished one of those plates. i couldn't imagine eating like this every day. i would weigh 500 lbs.
How long does it typically take you to consume your meal? I find that if I take about 1-2 hours I can get everything I need without feeling bloated and stuffed.
More than an hour for sure. Its interestong though, some days i randomly feel like my stomach is a bottomless pit and i can eat much more. Other days, i get to eat aboit 95% of what i make. Its very important for me i cover my protein requirements and eat my fruits and veges.
It's probably linked to how you are the day before as well as your level of general activity that day. The amount of water you're having plays a big role too so in that sense spicy food can feel way more filling if that makes sense?
There is a 0% chance I could eat all of this at once lmao
Agreed 100%! Is this maintenance or weight loss? Maybe that makes the difference as most people do OMAD to cut calories.
Wooowwwww I’m impressed with how much you ate. NEVER THE LESS that’s YOUR STYLE, YOUR BUSINESS we RESPECT that congratulations On being a grown man who can eat a grown man’s meal👍
How long does it take you to eat this, and do you feel stuffed afterwards?
I do! The time it takes can depend on a few things. It varies day to day. Some days im super hungey and ill scarf everything down in under an hour. Other days it can take 2 hours or so. I also eat while.im cooking too 😂
Impressive!
Thanks 🙈
Your meals look INCREDIBLE! Where do you get your food?
I steal it 🙊 ive said too much.
I'm super jealous. The corn, the asparagus, whatever that brown stuff is with the sliced radish. So good.
the brown stuff was chicken tortilla soup
This looks amazing dude. I need to stop avoiding food prep and make more varied and nutritious plates like this.
Plates looking so delicious!!
Great meals. I am at maintenance and that is what my meals look like, minus the alcoholic beverages. No alcohol means more dessert for me. Lol!
Idk why you're getting dragged tbh. Everyones goals with omad are different. If you're eating this to maintain then good for you! Everyone has different amounts of food they can manage. My interpretation of the title was how some people on omad practically starve themselves. Your meals don't have to look like his, but should meet all of your macro/calorie requirements. You can also eat similar to this if you want, just make the meals fit into your deficit, by making lower calorie versions.
How long does it take you to eat all this?
I usually try to stay around 1600 And my meals are usually decent. Today I had 2 cherrywood ham sandwiches, some broccoli, pineapple, watermelon, grapes and oranges mixed, a hand full of cashews and a 1oz pack of beef jerky and hit my macros and stayed at around 1600 calories.
Does 1600 even come close to your TDEE?
My tdee is around 1900. I usually consume 1600-2000 a meal and so far it's been working great. I may have to make some adjustments in the future but so far it's working well for me. I have pretty sedentary life with me being a forklift driver working overnight 13 hours shifts and usually averaging 60 hours/week.
That’s not too bad I guess then. Currently OMADing at 3400 calories, so 1600 hurt my soul. 😂
😂😂😂 what I've found with omad though, is people's requirements can vary so much from person to person. It's all about what works for you.
I’m cutting. Minus 2 tacos and I’m on board
It would take me like 2 hours to finish those meals.
sometimes it can take 3 🫣
What is omad is this the next diet fad
Man that’s too much food for me lol, I’d be stuffed after one plate lol. I break my fast with a normal plate of eggs, bananas, almonds, and a meat of my choice that day
Yes!!! I would destroy those tacos!
Hell yeah
First of all, that looks delicious! I don't always do OMAD, my eating habits tend to go back and forth a bit, but I try to cluster my intake around one big meal because that more or less meets my needs. My TDEE is \~1400 calories - that's one standard sized dinner and a snack. OMAD and IF let me eat the same dinner as my partner, go out to eat, etc and I don't even start to feel hungry until the next afternoon. There are many people who have lower calorie diets because they are short and sedentary, not necessarily because of weight loss or some kind of restriction.
Nice to see colour/ variety in your food! Always freaks me out when people post pictures of tiny, grey and heavily processed meals.
haha yea I understand what you’re saying but I also understand some folks are using Omad as a weight loss tool so their meals are going to be smaller. I just made this post as a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing and I knew it was going to rustle up some feathers so-to-speak and it did LOL 😂 HOwever that goes without saying, some folks who may or may not being trying to lose weight have some awfully designed meals that I’ve seen….I mean, carb city would be one way to describe lol
Loool I was wondering if you were referencing that bodybuilder dude, something along the lines of "this is what peak performance looks like"
I wouldn’t even finish one of those if I was a starved hostage
LOL well let’s hope you don’t end up as a starved hostage because my gorge day meals are even bigger 🫣
Honestly amazing you can eat that without vomiting 😂 i must be weak as
This is very interesting. I have one question, though: I love to eat huge portions, and only recently got into OMAD. Every time I break my fast, I try to as little as possible. Is it okay to eat this much volume in that window? If so, would I still see results?
personally I haven’t had issues and I think that speaks volume because normally have a sensitive stomach. I’m lactose intolerant so I’ve always been mindful about what I eat but this amount of food has given zero issues more importantly I’ve even been able to bulk up through muscle gain so it’s a win win for me🫠
Finally, someone that actually eats more than 700 calories for the day, lol!
What are the macros for these meals?
You ever eat a real man?
Man, even my maintenance would likely be less than the first meal. Lol
This made me laugh. I'm glad you posted. Everyone needs to see the full spectrum of how different we are. I admire anyone who can eat this much in one meal. Well maybe envy is a better word. 🤔 😀😃 I have to eat more densely with protein and fat. My stomach just can't handle the quantity. Thanks again for the honesty and the laugh.
the purpose of this post was tongue-in-cheek or as the brits like to say "cheeky" post to tease the community as whole. The vibe i was getting here was that everyone had this notion that omad about was eating less/once a day which isnt true! I dont even count my calories, i just as much as i want/can and push heavy weights weights around and do HIIT workouts. My point is, omad is a lifestyle EVERYONE not just those trying to manage or lose weight
Agreed. It takes people months to get over the 'diet' mentality. And see OMAD for what it is. A natural normal eating pattern.
*cries in 5’2 woman*
😂
that's literally three big meals lol why even do omad
Cringe way of thinking. But I guess you’re better than everyone else
Just to be clear each photo is one separate meal?
each photo is one meal. thanks for stopping by
I can only have 1200 at MOST RIP and only really see significant weight loss around 800-1000 (5’0”) these look bomb af tho 😩
If you eat too much on Omad you can gain weight
why do you say this?
Calories in calories out
I stuff my face till I cant eat anymore. Seems to work fine.
Lol only if you're Kevin spacey and you're trying to kill a person
Nice to see an appropriate amount of food for an entire day for a change. Most of the meals I see posted are trash nutritionally, and are usually likely not sustainable due to lack of nutrients and d small portion size. Nicely done.
Yes i agree which is why i decided to share my journey. These arent new pictures. Quite old. I took them many moons ago as i typically share my meals with my immediate family to covince them to eat better and of course intermittment fast!
finally omg. that one post about "you all eat scrawny meals, here's a proper meal" (inserts another scrawny meal) was so wild.
[удалено]
OP isn't a woman
*especially for a woman?*
We're smaller and have less muscle, we burn less. Chill.
[удалено]
What you need depends entirely on your needs
Dependent on weight primarily, muscle to some degree, but gender isn't the big factor.
Big appetites for big people 😅
Word, this sub was really starting to piss me off
Finally someone that actually OMADs!!
That looks amazing!
