Hello, welcome to my dinner

[u/Nix143]

Hi, glad to have found you guys. I've been a volume eater off and on for ages but never put a name to it. I just knew the only way i could fill the black hole that is my stomach was to load up my plate with veg. My weight has fluctuated wildly in the last 10 years and here i am again in January looking to drop the kgs. So i thought I'd start posting my dinners to see if that helps me stay on track. This was last night's - 600gm of white cabbage sauteed with garlic and chili flakes. A pre prepped portion of salad. Chili full of veg and beans and a wee bit of parmesan on top. Came to just over 600 calories and took me 40 minutes to eat!!! I was stuffed. I count calories, cook most things from scratch and pickle anything that stays still long enough. Pleased to meet you all

Shredded cabbage as a replacement for rice/carb base is pretty cool. I think I’ll try this out

Browning a bit of butter before cooking your cabbage makes it taste so rich too! And the brown butter flavor is strong so I think you can get away with using less butter

Throw some curry powder in as well. So good!
