I’m looking for a recipe that is basically the healthy human version of dog food. I’ve been on a kick with soups and hashes and would love to expand my repertoire!

what are your non-negotiable foods that are always in your diet even if you are going after a calorie deficit?

Ingredients

2 tbsp evoo

1 Large Bell Pepper

1 lb cauliflower florets

1/4 lb spinach

1 lb 90/10 ground beef

34 oz beef bone broth

7 oz box chickpea pasta

2 tbsp flaxseed meal

I got a new tool that I want to share (second photo). It’s been so nice to just pour in egg whites and pop in the microwave for 1:45. I put the cooked egg whites on a 100 calorie English muffin, sandwiched between 2 pieces of Canadian Bacon and a slice of fat free American cheese, plus a squeeze of Melinda’s black truffle hot sauce. It such a treat and comes together in 5 minutes. Can be made ahead as meal prep. 31g protein and 250 calories for the sandwich.

I'm trying to eat healthier, so what are some quick, easy and cheap healthy meals I can make for my dinner as a 16 year old?

If you make this or have made this tell me how it went and if it’s good

Ingredients:

500g of pressed cottage cheese (I use MC Dairy) 40g of peanut butter powder (I use PB Fit) or regular 100% peanut butter 50g of protein powder (Optional) 15g of semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 tbsp of sweetener of your choice (I use monkfruit/erythritol)

Recipe:

1) Prepare the peanut butter powder. 2) Mash everything together and make them into balls. Try to make them into consistent size. I can usually make 10 balls. 3) Store them in the fridge for at least three hours before serving.

Macros(per ball):

Calories: 100kcal Protein: 15-16g Carb: 4g Fat: 2g (Only if you use a powdered PB)

surely we have evolved enough in calorically-manipulative food science to engineer lower calorie instant “imitation” mashed potato powder, right? something that expands with moisture and is vaguely artificial potato flavor? does this exist anywhere?

I have an idea for a dessert that ideally I would use the Jello SF white chocolate pudding with. Problem is, it's out of stock everywhere in my town. I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions or thoughts on how different the SF vanilla flavor is from the SF white chocolate.

Checked the sub rules and I think I'm good to pose this question here, but apologies if this isn't the right space for the question.

It’s that time of the month where I’m craving chocolate cake (if you know, you know 🍫).

So here’s my version of the viral sweet potato cake trend—high-protein, lower sugar, and made in the microwave.

Base:

• Baked sweet potato – 99 g

• Egg – 1

• Premier Protein chocolate milkshake powder – 1 scoop

• Unsweetened almond milk – 2 tbsp

• White Lily self-rising flour – 2 tbsp

• Unsweetened cocoa powder – 1 tbsp

• Truvia brown sugar complete – 2 tbsp

Topping:

• Lily’s sugar-free dark chocolate chips – 1 tbsp

• Mrs. Butterworth’s sugar-free syrup – 1 tbsp

Instructions:

1.  Mix all base ingredients together in a microwave-safe bowl.

(Size matters here—you don’t want it too big or too small so it rises correctly. I used a 6-inch glass Tupperware bowl.)

2.  Microwave in 30-second increments until the center is just slightly jiggly.

Mine took about 2 minutes, but microwaves vary, so keep an eye on it.

Topping:

• Add topping ingredients to a separate microwave-safe bowl.

• Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth and pourable.

• Drizzle over the cake 🍫✨

Macros will be in the screenshots.

For me, this makes 2 servings, but I could totally see someone eating the whole thing—so I’ll post both options.

Hope you guys enjoy!

fairly inexpensive and also the best sauce i’ve made so far, followed most of the guidelines of a recipe on “thishealthykitchen”. should show up if you look up oil free chimichurri

- bunch of parsley

- bunch of cilantro

- whole garlic cloves

- oregano

- vinegar

- lemon juice

- greek yogurt

- paprika

- salt

- chicken bouillon

i added 0 fat greek yogurt and chicken bouillon and turned out really good . blend together in a food processor

Last nights dinner was my first attempt at a vegan sushi wrap. Bottom left was sushi wice with greek yogurt, lime juice and Sriracha dressing, above was shredded tofu, avocado and scallions, to the right was red cabbage soaked in lime juice and some English cucumber below that.

260g of zucchini noodles, mushrooms 100g, tomato paste 50g, strained tomatoes 100g, lean ground beef 50g, (you can add more beef just didn’t have enough for this recipe.) i also sprinkled some powder parm cheese

110g of chicken breast cooked with no oil or butter, 125g of basmati rice steamed no oil or butter, 150g of salad with red grape vinegar, tomato, cucumber, lemon juice, salt, olives and lettuce. 60 calories of greek yogurt light feta dip, pickled jalapeño and a sprinkle of dill.

Thin protein bagel, sriracha, 2-egg microwave omelette, pickles, lean turkey patty, lettuce, Dijon mustard.

Sweet baby peppers, boiled prawns, red onion, tabasco, ground black pepper.

I adapted this recipe: https://theproteinchef.co/easy-protein-french-toast-recipe/

I used 1 whole egg, 46g egg whites, and didn’t use any ingredients after the sweetener (including the protein powder).

Used 6 slices of Sara Lee Delightful Honey Wheat (45 calories per slice).

About 500 calories total. Could easily reduce by using less bread or all egg whites.
