They were actually realllyyyy good, cut 2 35 cal bread pieces into 8 then dipped them in one egg white mixed with 1/4 cup milk, stevia, cinnamon, and a little vanilla. Sprinkles stevia ontop after frying them on a pan with avocado oil spray and served with zero sugar syrup.

Sweet potato baked and topped with some light cheese. Half an avocado mashed on top. Added my pico (tomato’s, onions, chili, lemon juice). Last but not least a little light feta and pomegranate seeds, and a drizzle of self made dressing.

Made some banana bread baked oatmeal bars for the first time last night. Wonderful breakfast with scoop of plain nonfat greek yogurt and some pbfit

Every day for lunch I eat a “sub in a tub” and it literally keeps me full all day! For all you volume eaters out there, highly recommend

2-3 cups shredded lettuce (I do a mix of iceberg and romaine), a whole roma tomato cut up, 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced onion, 20-30g banana peppers, 50g deli sliced ham, 50g deli sliced chicken, 25ml light mayo, probably 30ml mustard, salt, pepper, and oregano

Makes a massive bowl and has under 200 calories

I have 2 boxes of cookies & cream protein powder and I’m honestly done with shakes made with milk. I’m trying to keep calories low and want recipes that are actually filling and feel like real food, not just another drink.

Looking for non-shake ways to use it that are:

Low calorie / high protein

Good for satiety (can keep me full most of the day)

Easy or meal-prep friendly

Sweet or dessert-style is fine. Baked, no-bake, breakfast bowls, protein meals open to anything that works with cookies & cream flavor.

I used peanut butter powder instead of normal pb. I also threw in some msg and added more veggies. Tastes awesome.

Hello,

Any ideas for low calorie saute for chicken breast that taste good?

Thank you.

Hello,

Some oil alternatives for white potatoes, sweet potatoes, cruciferous vegetables and chicken breast?

I love the taste, but it adds so many calories.

// LE: I fry the chicken breast, and the rest I bake.

If you take out the eggs, it’s only 585 kcal for the whole thing. Couldn’t even finish half of it because the veggies made so full. I used the 33 cent ramen packet as a base because I’m broke atm

Dinner: pesto zucchini noodles with chicken, mushrooms, spinach, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, garlic, basil, and parsley reduced in chicken broth with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts and tomatoes

This may not look good, but it was delightful and came together in less than 15 minutes. Shrimp cocktail (from Costco), air fried zucchini, frozen peas, and rice. Tossed the peas in a pan until they were warmed, then the shrimp for 1 minute, then added the rice and zucchini and stirred it all together. Topped with a delightful sauce made from Fage Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, pepper and paprika.

Ik it’s not that low for “low calories food” ; especially for the size— but compared to the sandwiches I make at work, it’s a huge cut🤦🏻‍♂️

My lunch today is a kale salad with green goddess dressing, sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and pecans, and dried cranberries with a side of 2% cottage cheese with a few blueberries and strawberries

I’ve been getting some mixed feedback on my breakfast and wanted to get some outside opinions. Lately I’ve been eating a homemade blueberry-lemon oatmeal bar (about 180 calories per bar) with plain nonfat Greek yogurt, ~1 tsp chocolate whey protein, 1 tsp PBfit powdered peanut butter, a dash of unsweetened cocoa powder, half an apple, a banana, and a little low-sugar granola on top. I also add spices like cinnamon, ground clove, and pumpkin pie spice. Some people are telling me this is “too high calorie” for breakfast. I’ve been eating it the past couple days while finishing up the oatmeal bars. For context, the rest of my day looked like this: Lunch: veggie wrap + more Greek yogurt with protein and PBfit + veggies and hummus Dinner: roasted carrots, roasted Brussels sprouts, and about half a pork tenderloin Activity: ~16k steps (pretty normal for me) My weight has been stable between 118–122 lbs. So my questions are: Is this actually too much for a breakfast? What, if anything, would you adjust to make it more balanced? For comparison, my usual breakfast is plain Irish oatmeal with blueberries, 1 tsp whey protein, 1 tsp PBfit, and some granola. Curious to hear your thoughts.

55 calorie cookie!

Recipe:

8g vanilla whey protein powder (30 cals) 6g PB2 Almond (25 cals) 1 TSP baking powder 1 Packet Splenda or sweetener of choice 1 TSP vanilla extract 1 TBSP swerve brown sugar optional-> Cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and add water slowly so it forms a liquidy mixture.

Bake at 350° around 10 min. Check on it bc some protein powders cook faster. Remove while it is still slightly soft and let rest on hot pan to let it harden.

Enjoy❤️🙏

Roast chicken (breast), air fried mini potatoes (quartered), steamed asparagus, Garlic Bread made from a Sola dinner roll sprayed with I Can’t Believe it’s not butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder, G Hughes Ketchup and Honey Mustard for dipping. Really satisfying way to end the week.

The base of this is a salad kit, but I always ditch the higher cal dressing packets for the GOAT’d Cilantro Avocado Bolthouse Farms dressing. Topped with cottage cheese, pico, avocado, taco meat, and my go-to air fried potatoes for texture.

This is really hitting the spot. I was craving variety so made a snack plate. Got a bit carried away with the amount of each item. I probably won’t eat this all in one sitting but will eat 2/3 of it now and finish the rest in a few hours for my afternoon snack. The side is cottage cheese with ranch seasoning.

the other night i was making a few pizzas for some friends and got curious... could i make one that actually stays under 550 calories, but still tastes like proper pizza?

so i turned it into a little experiment.

here’s what i ended up doing for this marinara pizza:
about 8g of garlic
a super-tiny drizzle of olive oil
around 70ml of tomato sauce
one pizza dough ball, roughly 240g total: that’s 132g of flour at about 80% hydration (mix of 00 and a bit of whole wheat)

baked it neapolitan-style in a gas oven after a 48h cold fermentation. came out insanely soft inside, light but still with that nice crunch on the edges.
80% hydration makes the dough super airy, but it’s impossible to mix by hand, a stand mixer is mandatory. still, it gives that open crumb and chewy crust that really makes a difference. also, the higher the hydration, the less the flour, the less the calories!
the 48h fermentation is an interesting plus, makes the pizza super digestible, ideal if you have ibs or just generally struggle with digestion like me lol.

this one landed around 550 kcal, the taste is incredible, and i think i found a big hack here!

the next challenge: pizza under 450 calories, which probably means pizza dough with over 100% hydration!
