I don't know who needs to hear this*, but cooking doesn't destroy all antioxidants.
In fact, some antioxidants become more bio-avaliable after cooking.
Yes, antioxidants are lost to cooking water if you boil them and then drain off the water.
I suggest soup if you're really attached to boiling for some reason.
*actually I do, but I've already had enough arguments online today, and it's only 7am.

bones im doing the math and a stellers jay cooked properly can feed like four cats. no wonder clan cats have so many rules about prey distribution birds are so full of nutrition you can just coast on it. bones i did the math and if they take down an eagle they could feed like a hundred cats oh god boar meat is so worth it isnt it
EDIT: Boar math update
The average male boar is 440 pounds, which is 200 kilograms, 200,000 g x 5 = 1 million calories.
That will feed an entire Clan for months. All through the three months of winter. Boar meat is sososososo worth it, it's INSANE. ThunderClan should actually be The Fat Clan, these guys are partaking of the sweet fat of the hog and absolutely rolling in extra calories.
(This is actually why I draw a lot of my ThunderClan cats with bellies, like Lionblaze. This man finds himself in the path of food because his Clan has lots to offer lmao)
^ Lionblaze the first day Willowpelt took him on as a secondary apprentice
Ducks are a REALLY good target for Clans, also. Average mallard drake is 3.5 pounds, 1.5 kilos, 9,000 calories. One duck feeds the entire Clan for a day.
I will say though, EXTRA knowledge; remember that calories don't necessarily satiate hunger! A lot of factors do, but you can summarize them with weight in the context of cats. My cat's usually full around 85 grams, but I know some cats who can hoover a big can of food in a single sitting.
(long answer: protein, fiber, thickness, if you had a drink beforehand, eating slowly, etc. But we're talking about prey meat here)
So your stellar's jay example is usually about 100 to 120 grams (though since my guys are in England, they wouldn't encounter those), which would basically be a meal two cats share. If that's breakfast they'll have hit all their calories for the day, but they'll still feel hungry for lunch and dinner.
This is why soups are so cool btw. This was a soup post all along. It's soupaganda time
Not only do you get that boost from cooking the meat here, but the value is more evenly distributed through the whole dish, the weight of the broth languishes in the stomach to make you feel full, AND ALSO IT'S A CLEAN SOURCE OF HYDRATION. You BOILED the water and didn't even think about it. That 120g prey item is now nutrition for 3 cats, a whole meal for 6, plus an easy way to get more water into sick warriors who may not feel like eating.
Get yourself some mushrooms, a couple pieces of prey, whatever leftovers that would otherwise go to waste, and BAM you've got your whole Clan stuffed and happy, even if they didn't manage to hit the caloric minimum of the day.
#The biggest flying bird that your basic British BB!Cat would be encountering is a wood pigeon#Which is larger than a stellar's jay weighing around a pound#nutrition guide#clan culture#better bones au

i love your blog so much. i love your art. im eating it
Finally, I have discovered why my art has bite marks on it. I can't stop what's already been done so...Guess I'm flattered?
#ask#non mdzs#Fed is fed and paper isn't the worst thing out there but its nutritional value is basically null. So make sure you supplement your diet!#Jokes aside thank you very much for the sweet message#I say this a lot but it *really* does mean a lot to me that people enjoy the stuff I'm doing on this blog#I want to do the best first and foremost for *me* but having an audience has been very motivating!#People have mentioned that these comics have given them something to look forwards to in the week and tbh yall's comments do the same for m#its a mutually beneficial relationship. Anon I'm eating *your* message

seeing the shift of women's fitness culture go from weightlifting to being a "pilates princess"...burn it all
#tj talks#'lean muscle vs bulky muscle' oh go fuck yourself do you know how goddamn hard it is to get bulky?? to build heavy muscle??#it takes genuine years of dedicate work and nutrition to become 'bulky' but for some reason were still perpetuating the myth#that if a woman even LOOKS at a dumbell she turns into ronny coleman. stop this blasphemy#doing light weight training isnt going to make you bulky i promise.#also nothing wrong with pilates! i think its a good workout for core and rehabilitation for previously injured muscles!#but i think the mindset of associating it entirely with femininity and stregnthening the beleif that basic weight training is making women-#get bulky within two months is utter horseshit and just another way were see the fads surrounding womens body types shift#i could do a fucking essay on this shit#actually. i might

i know the whole vampire can't be turned twice or they'll explode thing in wwdits is a funny bit and sort of the cause of a lot of the drama in season five rn
but like. how are they supposed to have fucked up mutually bitey bloody vampire sex now :c
#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#wwdits spoilers#ok in my defense this concept is from being human where two vamps would feed off of each other's blood and it was like#zero nutritional value and looked down upon in the vampire community but it got them high and they were little freaks about it#and im just like. man. thats now canonically impossible in the wwdits universe. remember what they took form you.#also i jusy saw people on this site unironically calling people freaks and deviants for experiencing desire so i had to post this#public freak behavior is basically praxis#idk its just... yknow. a little sad. these vampires still have all that blood in their body#and they aren't even using it :/

my cousin might have given her 2 year old baby girl an eating disorder:)
#she has always been weird about the stuff the baby ate like she wasn't allowed to eat anything '''unhealthy'''#because she doesn't want the baby to be FAT:)))#so now the baby is in the hospital because she's having trouble ingesting stuff and has like basically no appetite ever#why is my entire fucking family fucked up in the head jesus christ#of course it's not proven yet but we cant help but think about this stuff since all she gives the baby is like apple slices and water#im so mad she's such a sweet baby and i dont want her to be sick:(#btw the baby is way too small for her age and still completely bald at 2 years old. definitely not because she didn't get enough nutrition#during the pregnancy (my cousin was heavily dieting the whole time) and after her birth (fucking apple slices)#like give me the baby i could raise her better

elf that feeds by looking really hard at a picture of a burger, is this anything?
Hmm. I think elves, especially if we go to their legendary roots, might feed off the *energies* of nature, and might starve away in a city...

the trouble with me, specifically, going to a con at this particular time, specifically, is that i cannot for the life of me tell if i feel like shit because of The Plague or because i have stressed based migraines and have both major surgery and the plague to be stressed about or because i over extended myself doing a big trip (during The Plague) or because i over extended myself doing a big trip (ten days before major surgery) or if i over extended myself doing a big trip (to a con, where i historically barely eat) or if i over extended myself doing a big trip (to a con, where i historically barely eat, while i am also currently on a liquid diet and cannot do my usual con thing of calorie bombs for dinner) or if--
it is probably a combo of the above, but so far we're testing negative for the plague nor do we have any symptoms so its unlikely to be that at least :I
#mochi rambles#mochi's medical mischief#tbf to my body i did basically go thursday to sunday consuming maybe 1000 calories per day#which is so far below my absolute bare minimum that it is no wonder i feel like hot garbage#i took a 1.25 gallons of nutritional shakes with me#like a solid 20+#and i came back with at least half of them#so yeah#probably that#but also god damn do i feel like shit

Does someone need to kidnap you and lock you in their basement and make sure you take your vitamins?
That sounds like a fantastic idea! Shall I pack a bag ready or maybe it'll be more of a surprise thing 🤔
#i know it sounds silly that im basically floored if i miss some measly vitamins but the last couple days it was so bad i couldnt#get off the couch#just lay and dozed on and off#but since i took them again and they've had time to kick in ive cleaned the flat and i still have enegery to do work#i should probs go get blood work done to officially see whats up but thats effort and spooky and this works#i also technically have qualifications in base level nutrition and i did a butt tone of research to find the best combo and type that works#im waffling again.. *sprays self in face with water* bad dog!

it always baffles me just how little the average person knows about muscle gain, weight gain and weight loss
#that tumblr post that goes like “gym muscles don't count i only like musvles built by mowing lawn” or something idk#like what? none of the shit that op mentioned builds muscle#you only build muscle by resistance training#cardio has zero resistance#also exercise doesn't make you lose weight#it's food that does#if you eat less calories than you burn you lose weight and vice versa#you can't really burn that many calories with exercise alone#i feel like basic nutrition and stuff should def be taught in schools

Started adding 40g extra protein to my diet a day and I've fallen asleep within an hour every night for almost a full week which I have never managed consistently my whole ass life
#being well rested makes me feel like I could fight god.#so much nutrition advice online is like 'it's basically impossible to not get enough protein so don't worry about it'#i think our household's combined issues with food texture (autism version)/allergies/eco concerns/budget make it pretty easy to miss.#and i think nutrition advice also assumes you're eating meat multiple meals a day. which uhhh I don't actually know many people who do that

Randomly thinking about Kotoko and food (so uh. Warning for possible ED stuff)
I like to think about her being the kinda person who really only sees food as sustenance. Who barely even tastes the flavor of her protein drink when she drinks it because of how numb she’s gotten to it. She could chug it all at once without a care if she really wanted to because the “experience” of eating means nothing anymore. (Even if she chugs it so fast it hurts).
She doesn’t go to restaurants because she can’t read the nutritional facts of each meal. Or if she does, she looked everything up online beforehand.
She would will and has stood in the middle of a store holding two brands of the same food in her hands comparing the nutritional facts, and then continues to buy that brand every time. However, every time she buys it she still checks to make sure they didn’t change the ingredients. And of course, flavor or texture or anything about it mean nothing. Even if she hates the flavor, she’ll eat it.
Just absolutely scarfing down that meal with dead inside miserable eyes. (Whenever she does eat, and not just taking supplements)
Hey now Lucky flashbang.
I think it’d be funny if Kotoko took Lucky to a conbini and let her pick out whatever she wanted as a snack, and when Lucky gets gummies or some shit Kotoko’s internally like “how inefficient 😐” but brushes it aside cuz yannow. The baby. And Kotoko of course doesn’t get anything for herself. But she kinda softens up about the gummies when seeing how happy Lucky is when eating them.
And then Lucky offers her one and she has to accept it because. The baby. <3.
But then Kotoko eats it so fast that she barely tasted it, and therefore has no response when Lucky asked if she liked it. Lucky’s like 😦 youre not supposed to eat it like that, eat this one more slowly. And she does! Yay she enjoys food for a moment!
OKAY NOW MAHIRU FLASHBANG.
MAPPI FORCEFEEDI—(I’m cut off by armed police officers grabbing me and dragging me off kicking and screaming)
#tw eating#tw eating issues#I often think of this weightlifter I knew who would like. make some kind of protein peanut butter and random other shit slop#he’d have this slop in a pot for days#and it was all he’d eat#it was purely designed based on nutritional value#basically I’m saying if Kotoko eats anything she eats that slop#this mel speaks#mel seigirl posting
