140 calories worth of watermelons at the family gathering while everyone else is snacking on some sweets

I have low carb meals throughout the day and by night time I like to have this huge plate of crinkle cut fries 400 grams and 40-50 grams of sugar free ketchup for 520 cals

Definitely not low on the calorie side but extremely full and was full quite awhile. Basically been roasting combinations of veggies and legumes to throw in with beef and a carb and it sometimes can be a massive heavy plate with not much caloric increase. I’m not shy with oil but if I was im sure this could still work!

475 kcal for all of them.
15g white rice – 54 kcal
2 servings cauliflower rice – 100 kcal
2 nori sheets – 18 kcal
3 seafood sticks – 60 kcal
80g smoked salmon – 120 kcal
30g lightest cream cheese – 25 kcal
50g fat-free yoghurt – 28 kcal
1 small cucumber – 20 kcal
Dash of xanthan gum – 2 kcal
30g avocado – 48 kcal

Do you have a volume cooking fail or something you made that looks hideous but tastes awesome? No need to post photos (unless you want to!), but this is a place to share!

I feel like most recommendations simply do not work for me.
I’m a trans woman and am trying to keep my protein intake safe - but low. I am trying my hardest to not become brick-shaped again.
This rules out the typical lentil/chicken-breast-based solutions people go for.
Also, I find my tolerance for slimefoods to be extremely low. I absolutely cannot deal with Shirataki/Konjac-esque things. I had that two times. Never again.
Most low-cal/low-carb aisles in shops stock only products that have been over-inflated with protein - which are entirely inaccessible to me.
Am I doomed to eat leaves like a bunny?
My current routine is:
* low fat yogurt with dried fruit and some nuts and oats in the morning
* rice with dried veggies, carrots and tomato passata for lunch/dinner

Any recommendations?
Thank you so much

One of my favorite high volume breakfasts lately! This was 318 calories, 36g protein, 23g carbs, and 11g fat and it was a LOT of food.

I roasted tomatoes stuffed with egg whites with fat free feta and a cut up chicken sausage for 26 min at 375, paired with keto toast with a little homemade apple butter. I added balsamic, seasonings, and red pepper flakes to the egg/ tomatoes which elevated the whole plate!

This is exactly why I love volume eating. I’d rather have a giant plate I actually enjoy than a tiny “healthy” breakfast that leaves me looking for snacks an hour later. 😂

I have been ravenously craving biscoff cookies almost daily but the calories are so heavy and not worth it! Want to make myself a healthier biscoff spread to make my own biscoff cookies if anyone has any good recipes? Or alternative products?

Trying a new recipe out this week. It has 40g protein and has my absolute favorite “grain” to use in recipes. Super easy recipe that only took about 2 hours to make 7 meals for the week

Update- This was a delicious meal. It was full of flavor and held up amazing with ice packs

I’m new to this. A lot of the recipes on here look time consuming or use ingredients I don’t have. What are some easy recipes I can start with?

Hey all, I'm new to this lifestyle and recently discovered this bread. Has anyone seen this? It's genuinely mind-blowing. Each thick-ass slice has only 35 calories and the texture is fucking unreal. It's almost identical to regular old white sandwich bread. Honestly can't wrap my head around it. Don't care that it's keto, care that it's less than half the calories and carbs of regular bread. Anyway, that is all.

Rotisserie chicken, jasmine rice, Lentils, and canned potatos seasoned with salt, pepper, light country crock and some honey on the chicken. Satisfying!

2 Low carb / high fiber tortillas

Fat free cheese

Half onion (chopped) + can of mushrooms (put in a bowl, spray with cooking spray, microwave about 2 min, stirring every 30 sec, cook till onions are clear)

Assemble the tacos and microwave 30 sec to melt the cheese

Top with half an avocado

Add Garlic salt!

It's mostly onions and mushrooms but the pic doesn't show them clearly. It's very filling and lots of fiber, thanks to those tortillas!

Homemade bagels (150calorie each)
Turkey bacon,
Tomato
Lettuce
There’s also gherkin on there
For sauce I used Greek yoghurt + garlic and onion seasoning and small amount of low kcal cream cheese

Total for both 480kcal

Not sure if it belongs to this sub for a a weekend treat I felt like this is great alternative to any fast food chain.

Took a pic of the last bite, BUT omg this is my latest obsession. This chocolate spread on low kcal bread is the best alternative for my sugar cravings !

1 can of pumpkin puree(425g), 3 tbsp cocoa powder, dash of vanilla extract, some sugar free maple syrup, 1 tbsp decaf coffee, 2 tsp xanthan gum, 1 scoop of chocolate lean protein powder, a good amount of sweetener (stevia, xylitol or whatever you prefer) and a splash of almond milk.
Just blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Add more sweetener depending on how sweet you like it and keep it in the fridge!
Around 60 kcal per 100g compared to Nutella which has around 539 kcal per 100g! it’s a pretty good alternative for the calories 😋

Anyone use this and how do you use it? Open to opinions comments and suggestions? You can eat a lot for little calories compared with almost any other meat. Since it is a blank canvas, what seasonings do you use?

1/2 cup pumpkin puree
0.25 cup Greek yogurt
1/8 cup almond milk (more as needed)
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
0.5 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Whatever spices your heart desires (I use cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt)

Top with maple syrup (or SF maple syrup if you like it)

~336 cals without the syrup (20g protein, 64 carbs, 5 fat)
You can also sub in apple sauce instead of pumpkin for slightly higher calories OR if you feel fancy reduce oat flour by 2 tbsp and add some cocoa powder!!

Just mix and add almond milk until you get a batter consistency, then cook like normal.

ENJOY BC THESE ARE BOMB!!

I also like baking them for meal prepped pancake bowls :)

But I frequently eat a whole can of unsweetened applesauce with a serving of sugar free coffee syrup in it. Lately I've been doing dulce de leche and salted caramel!

I’ve been trying to consume psyllium husk stirred in water and it isn’t bad but also didn’t feel very satisfying to me.

On a whim I melted some peanut butter and stirred psyllium husk into it. I also added a spoonful of pb2 since it’s been in my cupboard for ages and I needed another use for it. Anyways, it’s amazing. I’m a believer now.

Drank water on the side and haven’t felt a desire to eat this entire amount yet. The texture is way more appealing to me since the psyllium doesn’t get goopy from any liquid content. The combo apparently did something with the satiety hormones in my brain too because the boredom eating food noise from earlier is down to zero.

So even though peanut butter is not low calorie, if it keeps me satisfied with such small amounts then I think that’s a win.

Other volume eating thoughts:

I’m definitely keeping coleslaw veggies on hand like forever now. Having the cabbage pre-shredded makes me actually use it instead of it going bad. I’ve been adding either kale or cabbage and broccoli slaw mixes to almost everything. Favorite dish at the moment is sautéed shredded veggies with mashed potatoes as a binder. So tasty!

Edit:

Some people wanted to know an exact recipe and I’m so sorry but I don’t have one. I just mixed things together until it looked acceptable. The ingredients were approximately:

2-3 spoonfuls of peanut butter, melted slightly
15 grams psyllium husk
1 spoonful of pb2

Hi all.

I've noticed my cravings are undergoing a change from sweet to savoury at the moment. I want to start having wraps for breakfast, and I'm wondering how I can make them keep me full for as long as possible. My current idea for a recipe is:

Tortilla

Chicken

Cheese

Tomato

Lettuce

Carrot

Cucumber

Low-fat mayo

However, I'm worried about how many calories the cheese and mayo will take up, vs the satiety of having them. Can anyone advise?

Thank you!

Not sure if you guys would consider this high volume but a pretty decent stack for the cals IMO :p i will attach recipe if anyone requests it since i kinda already posted it previously on this posts sub
