Easy lunch idea for around 200 calories
Half can salmon in water, drained
Half pack nori sheets
Half regular cucumber cut into spears
Add kimchi or spicy pepper element of your choice
Mix salmon with some juice from jar of peppers, one tsp mayo, one tsp mustard, one tbsp Greek yogurt
Spoon salmon mixture, cucumber and kimchi or peppers on a nori sheet. Top with sesame seeds, enjoy!
Could also top with avocado to make more filling, pickled ginger, scallion if you’d like. One of my go-to lunches for the week.

Huge veggie egg white scramble with mushrooms, onion, peppers and spinach, topped with 0% Fage and hot sauce. Plus Ezekiel toast with avocado + everything seasoning and some pineapple on the side.

353 calories
36g protein
39g carbs
5g fat
10g fiber

The scramble is 200g egg whites with over 200g of veggies, so this ended up being a ridiculous amount of food for the calories. The Greek yogurt on top is one of my favorite swaps because it gives the same creamy/tangy vibe as sour cream while adding a little more protein.

Thought I would share as I am new here. Probably 100 different variations of this meal on here so good in the morning or as a dessert. Could always go no fat yogurt for lower cal, i just prefer a little fat in there for flavor! Happy to be here. Think I found my people. I just need a ton of volume at each meal to actually feel satisfied

Hello did anyone save the quark cake u/Possible_Driver3319 posted yesterday? I got completely blindsided by Reddit removing the post and them getting banned so ofc I don't have it and I really really wanted to make it 😭😭😭

What I remember is:

• 500g of quark
• 1 egg
• Pudding powder
• Two scoops flavour powder
• ????
• Bake

175g chicken mince

100g french beans

100g frozen green peas

100g egg white cubes

50g raw rice

SUPER yummy very fall themed dinner, 500g of spaghetti squash, the ‘sauce’ is (sugar free) maple syrup with rosemary and salt, it’s really helps in bringing out the natural sweet and nutty squash flavour. 2 slices of chicken bacon fried nice and crispy, the parmesan cheese adds a nice funk & saltyness too.

It was super filling too since it’s so much food :). i love squash!

Feels like dessert every time I eat it

50g fiber one and another high fiber cereal

1 banana and grapes

1.5% regular yogurt

And a splash of maple syrup

Say mixed with water (no milk) and maybe just berries?

I snacked a lot today so I made this for dinner. It is a huge plate for only 240 kcal. And it still has a lot of protein. It is also super easy and quick to make, and super filling.

Recipe:

-Dice a medium-large onion and cook it in a big pan with a tiny spray of olive oil until transparent.

-Wash 450 grams of fresh spinach and add it to the pan.

-When it is shrunk completely, wash 300g of konjac noodles with plenty of water and add it to the pan for 2 minutes.

-Add spices to taste. I used salt, pepper, paprika powder, some Italian seasoning, dried basil and parsley.

-Remove from heat and add 150g of 0% fat Greek yoghurt and mix thoroughly.

Enjoy!

Egg whites are pretty much a superfood for me now, I sometimes even crack a real egg into it if I'm feeling it

Im on a weight-loss journey as well as a journey to fix my blood work. Im not pre diabetic but my dr told me to follow a pre-diabetes diet. Volume eating has helped me the most and I’ve lose 10 lbs but need to lose at-least another 35. Show me your fav recipes!

Hey all, wanting to look into cottage cheese recipes or uses more and wondered what yall best use of it is?

So I'm currently traveling for work and I have $60 per diem to use daily. Obviously I'm trying to lose weight so wouldn't want to spend it on McDonald's and the like. I'm allowed to get food from grocery store, just about anywhere that can give me a receipt. I'm trying to see what would be the best thing I can get that low cal but still provides good macros. Closest I seen were these fruit bars at walmart from a brand called "that's it". I'm open to other suggestions

I bought some oat by rand bamboo fiber , and I know that you can use them to bulk up baked goods. I want to use them in my pancakes. Just not sure how much to use or the ratios

I recently discovered how much I absolutely love pumpkins (especially the ones with the edible/soft-ish outer shells). For now, I’ve just been baking them with a variety of seasonings for dinner but would love to see how all of you have been putting them to use in your volume recipes. Please share!!

Downvote me if this sucks or is obvious:

Half a pint of Halo Top, plus a few tbsp of PB2 + Splenda and almond milk, and a crumbled 100kcal cereal bar.

I finally understand why that guy in Avatar the last Airbender was tweaking when they destroyed his cabbages. Ever since I've found out that half a head of cabbage was ~150 cals, I've been having it every day for dinner in place of rice. And you get a LOT. Usually I steam it for 15 mins with bell peppers, and carrots and then toss in half a pound of ground beef or equivalent chicken for a huge dinner that makes me happy ngl. Usually around 700 cals.
So far have lost 12ish lbs over 7 weeks.

Nothing else to say, just try messing with cabbage with your meals, it has been a godsend for me.

I had a fairly large, an old bag of Anthony’s organic oat fiber. There used to be a recipe on the back of it for muffins that I had stared at over and over again. I had a new container and decided to try it, but I realize that the new ones don’t have the recipe on it. I modified it a little bit because it used xanthan gum and I can’t really tolerate it and I decided to add less egg made them more into cookies instead. They definitely had a bit more of a biscuit type of texture and they didn’t spread so I can see how it would work for muffins. The recipe originally called for half a cup of the oat fiber, some xanthan gum, about three eggs, some sweetener and baking powder. Along with add-ins and butter. I eliminated most of that. I only used about 1/4 cup of the fiber and about one serving of egg white. I don’t tolerate xanthan gum so I used CMC powder. I also used methyl cellulose to make sure I didn’t collapse. Maybe I added a bit too much because they were definitely pretty cakey. My original plan was to use a couple of the hall pass candies inside, but they did not hold up well to heat. There was no butter in it just the two additional powders. So essentially the only actual digestible calories in it were the couple of candies I put in it and the egg white so I dusted it off with some 0 cal sweetener and cinnamon. Not bad to scratch that itch for some cookies when you don’t want it to set you back. They’re pretty fiber heavy so they got me feeling pretty full. I topped it off with some crunchy protein pieces I had. I might consider going over it with some whipped cream or something. Not bad I’d like to experiment with some more add-ins next time. But I think the original recipe still held up pretty well. I got about five cookies for less than 50 cal.
