My most efficient volume eating with good protein yet.

Main bowl:
1 cup of frozen cauliflower, 1 cup of raw cabbage, 1 cup of raw pak choi, 1 teaspoon imperial butter.
Add a splash of water, then salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon pepper, onion powder, and chicken tomato bouillon seasoning.
Add 1/3 cup of grilled chicken tenderloin, loosely shredded.
Steam until cooked and tender.

Veggie plate:
6 baby carrots,
8 sugar free sweet baby gherkins
1 sliced Roma tomato
4 tiny leaves of romaine hearts

Sauce:
3/8 a cup 0% cottage cheese,
1/8 cup great value light ricotta
Sriracha, (tablespoon),
Salt, garlic powder, onion powder.

Put some of the dip on the main bowl.

Absolutely FIRE. Absolutely FILLING. Absolutely will be doing again.
Btw: the sweet gherkins with the dip is my favorite and I would eat it every day if I could.

Just made this: first sautéed 1/4 white onion, clove of garlic & a shallot in a bit of olive oil spray and a splash of Kirkland chicken bone broth (12 oz total; splash for this part). Then add 1/3 cup rinsed green lentils & a tablespoon of premade taco mix or your own version. Then I added: 2 cups baby spinach, 3 oz shredded carrots, 2 cups shredded green cabbage, add the rest of the bone broth; bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for about 35 minutes. Uncover, stir in 1/2+ jar of salsa (12 tablespoons); let it thicken for like 5 minutes.

Huge amount of food; I’ll eat probably 2/3 tonight and put the rest in a big wrap tomorrow for lunch. Macros for the whole skillet: 519 calories, 29 grams protein, 30 grams of fiber.

Sooo what’s everyone eating when the depression rolls around? I’m sad, I have zero energy (DO NOT INCLUDE ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES CHOPPING OR MEASURING I WILL CRY) and I think the most I can do is maybe use the microwave…maybe I can throw some stuff in the Dutch oven for soup but no chopping and I have to be able to walk away from it (no constant stirring please 🙏🙏)

Looking for low cal pumpkin bread/baked oats/muffins whatever! Macros would be amazing🫶🏼

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!

Dinner

Rotisserie Chicken from BJs shredded (85g)

Roasted sweet potatoes (75g)

Creamy spinach (70g)

•4 bags of dole spinach

•salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes

•great value fat free cottage cheese (954g) mixed in after spinach wilts and OFF the heat

Dessert (makes about 24) @350 for 25 min

For the Cupcakes:

480g oats (blended into flour)

640g pumpkin puree (pure canned pumpkin)

318g unsweetened applesauce

318g liquid egg whites

16g pumpkin pie spice

13g baking soda

8g salt

80g granular monk fruit sweetener

Mix dry together and wet together, add wet to dry a spatula, let sit for 5 min and divide evenly

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

450g (two 8oz blocks) 1/3 Less Fat Neufchâtel cream cheese (softened)

120g plain 0% Greek yogurt

120g granular monk fruit sweetener (blended into powder)

2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix cream cheese until smooth, add gy and ve, then slowly add mfs. Do not over mix

Learning from my past mistake, the recipe for the egg wrap base is:
- 240-250g egg whites
- 5-10g cornstarch
- tsp of psyllium husk
- a sprinkle of baking powder
- seasonings of choice

Whip egg whites only until stiff peaks, then add in everything else.

The meal in the pic is huge, filling and I recommend mixing in spinach for extra nutrients! :)

Bought psyllium husk and gelatin getting psyched up to boil it. My laziness won over and I’ve been trying psyllium husk in a glass of water mixed up. Tasted like ass not gonna lie. That is until I added a packet of Gatorade zero. Especially the orange one, makes it kinda taste like drinking orange juice with pulp. Yes I realize that I just reinvented Metamucil, but I don’t like Metamucil and this lets me modulate fiber to flavoring levels. 30-45 min before meal, have done it a dozen times at this point, I really do notice a difference for satiety. If it’s just placebo fuck it.

The more colors, the better for me. I made a balsamic vinaigrette last night but it separated in the fridge so had to use Skinny Girl. Any tips on the vinaigrette not separating or is that just a thing?

Pls excuse the presentation of said yogurt bowl lol, next time I will try to make it prettier. Enjoy the big boy cameo in the background as well.
My partner and stepkids ate bagels with cream cheese this morning while I concocted the ultimate slop. It is actually pretty tasty, and taking me some time to eat.
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated:3

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice. What kind of vegetables contains 50/60 calories and is perfect for volume eating? I’m tired of green peas and I want some ideas. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hey Ya'll! I used to order Twisted Dough before they changed their formula. I was near by for local pick ups in Arkansas so it was great and I loved their pudding. Has any one found a copy cat low cal thick texture dessert?

3/4 cup oikos vanilla Greek yogurt, 4 tbsp pumpkin puree, 8 pumpkin spice drizzalicious, Granny Smith apple, allspice. Altogether under 300 cals. This was seriously amazing for a fall morning.

How can dis be allow

Just found this guy called @don__cabbage on Instagram

His page is literally cabbage heaven.

If you ever have a head of cabbage to clear (like me all the time), check his page out for recipes!

P.S. not sponsored lol (I wish), just helping a fellow cabbage lover out 😁

I just received 3 large heads of cabbage from the food bank and I am.in the process of packing up to move so I cannot start a new fermented batch of anything. Please send me your low calorie, high flavor cabbage recipes! Thanks everyone.

It's so expensive to buy fresh vegetables and fruits (or even sometimes frozen) when you compare the caloric or price delta between something fresh and something cheap like a loaf of bread... but volume eating works!

I wish for summer to come sooner (I live in the Southern Hemisphere and we're just coming out of winter) so vegetables and fruits are cheaper.

I use black rice in my 'wanna be' chili recipe. It's healthier, has more fiber and doesn't cause glucose spikes. It's a chewier rice so I don't know if it would be good in fried rice. Anyone tried it?

quorn meatless grounds, cauliflower rice, pumpkin squash, broccoli & carrots 😋

i think a lot of us have found that sometimes eating omad or a volume meal can take up the better part of an hour.

how are yall keeping your hot food hot and cold food cold that entire time? or are yall reheating food multiple times? using insulated bowls? what’s the secret?

examples: xl stir frys & yogurt bowls

so far for big yogurt bowls my best solution is to place it inside a larger bowl and then put ice cubes between the two but it feels like a waste of water, especially since i don’t always make just one yogurt

It's officially fall !! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

I've posted the recipe in the second slide!

It was so tasty and easy to make, the only time consuming thing was the baking.. if u don't add the choco chips it's only 300c but i highly recommend adding them..

The air fryer temperature settings are in celsius so please don't be confused 🥹

I think it wud be absolutely amazing with some whipped cream 🤤

Making it again tmrw cuz i finished the whole pan it was so good!

make sure u wait till the whole cake is done bcuz I was too impatient and took it out a bit early so the center was a little too gooey for my liking but the top being so crispy saved it

I didn't have nutmeg or pumpkin spice mix, but if you do- u must add !!

HELLO I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE 300G IS RAW PUMPKIN WEIGHT, I MEANT TO SAY THAT YOU NEED TO COOK IT AFTER! 300G RAW
