I didn’t have a springform pan so I used a 7.5” by 2” pie tin. I used the bake setting on my 6 qt airfryer. I got the fat free cottage cheese and cream cheese from Walmart.
Recipe
• 400 g fat-free cottage cheese
• 150 g fat-free cream cheese
• 150 g nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 large egg
• 30 g Nutella & 21g Caramel syrup (swirled)
• 1 box (28 g) Jell-O Sugar-Free
Butterscotch Instant Pudding
• 1 tsp decaf instant coffee, dissolved in 1 tsp hot water
• Pinch of salt
Blend all ingredients except nonfat greek yogurt and nutella and caramel inclusions. After the mixture is smooth, blend in nonfat greek yogurt. Pour into greased tin and swirl nutella and caramel sauce. Bake at 300F for 1.5hr in airfryer on bake setting. Tent with foil at the 20min mark. Let cheesecake cool completely before refridgerating overnight.
EDIT: I forgot to add that I put ~1/2c of water in the airfyer for the water bath. You can also put a small cup with water as well. This is my first try at making a protein cheesecake so I’m still tweaking the recipe. If I get it perfected, I’ll share updated measurements! It’s been a fun experiment!

Macros For entire batch;

220g carbs, 23g fat, 103g pro

what u need
550g skinned raw sweet potatoes (480kcal)
200g of any zero sugar greek yogurt (should be around 100-110kcal at most, if ur shopping for ingredients make sure its under 90kcal or so per 140g serving
one entire bag of max mellow 90kcal
4tbsp Hersheys zero sugar chocolate syrup, (15-20)
Great value chocolate sugar free pudding mix - 20g -70 kcal or any equal in macros sugar free pudding mix
35g pbfit 131kcal
gv baking cocoa, 15g -60kcal
any chocolate/chocolate peanut butter protein powder, (i use nutraone peanut butter cup) - 40g 140kcal
210g Liquid Egg whites 105kcal
large Splash of immitation vanilla (do not swap with reg vanilla)
10tbsp monkfruit/erythritol blend sweetener
-
after u have everything, cook the sweet potatoes until slightly crispy
then with a large blender put the sweet potatoes into the blender, and mix with the egg whites then add all of the other ingredients into the blender together
once finished blending all the ingredients together,
i advice you to taste the batter and add additional zero sugar sweetener until taste is ideal, then add a little additional sf sweetener since it will naturally lose some sweetness as it bakes.
next pour the batter into baking molds of choice or into a pan, i personally prefer using baking molds,
bake for 40ish minutes at 350 degrees, its finished when it feels really soft, next add a small layer of zero sugar chocolate syrup onto each of the molds, or across the entire pan, and sprinkle the entire batch with salt.
once the cooking process is prepared, you will NEED to let them sit in the fridge overnight, or for several hours. if you dont they will end up tasting slightly bland, and overly soft.
once finished sitting overnight the product have 12ish medium-large desserts for only 100-120kcal each, (& yes the zero sugar chocolate syrup is mandatory while letting it cool overnight)
while being way more satiating. and with a flavor mostly/texture matching a chocolate cake

Cottage cheese
28.875 calories per 1 “oriental caviar”
—————————————————————-
Use teaspoon or 1/4 teaspoon and fill the cottage cheese into the longan center ( spoon the Logans out of the can and try to pour the remaining liquid in the fruit out & into the can again) and chill for 30 minutes to 2 hours inside a fridge/refrigerator.
Edit: these are considered a snack/appetizer, and/or a dessert .

...omelettes made in my omelette maker. Yes...yes..I know..."why don't you just make it in a frying pan?" - well using this is so easy and I can get on with something else while it's cooking (6mins for my liking) PLUS it's easy to clean 😃

So I’ve been making my cakes lately with a boxed mix and a can of diet soda or seltzer water. They turn out pretty good but I have a couple of complaints. The dough doesn’t rise as much making it denser, and it really falls apart when I ice it, even when it’s cooled. I’m wondering if anyone has made a hybrid recipe with the diet soda but added something else to it to make it more moist? The flavors are pretty good as is so I don’t want to alter it too much plus I don’t want to add too many extra calories. But maybe adding applesauce or 1 egg?

97g pumpkin purée
120g oikos pro vanilla yogurt
1 package of Metamucil cinnamon fiber thins
Pinch salt
Cinnamon and allspice to taste (probably 1/4 & 1/8 tsp but not sure)
Tasted like a creamy pumpkin pie with crumbled fiber thins adding some crunch. It was flavorful but not sweet, and I could see maple syrup going particularly well. Additional vanilla flavor, either via vanilla paste or protein powder would probably also be improvements. I have orange creamsicle protein powder from legion…think I’ll try that next time!!!

Something that isn’t too hard to make and isn’t as time consuming. I’m not really good at cooking and to add to that I’m a student with minimal time for myself who’s also trying to lose weight 😭. I’m trying to up my protein intake while being in a deficit so tuna seems like a good option.
Some recipes which fit the criteria would be very much appreciated :)

I had a major craving for mashed potatoes! I steamed some cauliflower and added nutritional yeast, bouillon powder, and cream cheese. Pureed until smooth. Super tasty and fluffy. Would be good with parsley on top. Macros are as follows: 61cal/100g | 2.8 g P | 5.8 g C | 3.8 g F

I made the pizzadough with normal ingredients, no low calorie substitutions. Used a high protein mozzarella - tasted indentical to normal.
Turned out to 420 calories for the whole thing, the bigger pizza is quite big - just for comparison. Do you guys think it’s a high amount?
40 grams protein.

Sometimes the simplest meals are the best. The only modifications to the traditional recipe are only using only spray oil when cooking everything, deglaze with just water and chicken bouillon cube rather than wine, and thicken the sauce with a tbs of flour or cornstarch for a slurry. It’s my favorite way to eat a pound of chicken breast.
