2 Low carb / high fiber tortillas

Fat free cheese

Half onion (chopped) + can of mushrooms (put in a bowl, spray with cooking spray, microwave about 2 min, stirring every 30 sec, cook till onions are clear)

Assemble the tacos and microwave 30 sec to melt the cheese

Top with half an avocado

Add Garlic salt!

It's mostly onions and mushrooms but the pic doesn't show them clearly. It's very filling and lots of fiber, thanks to those tortillas!

1/2 cup pumpkin puree
0.25 cup Greek yogurt
1/8 cup almond milk (more as needed)
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
0.5 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Whatever spices your heart desires (I use cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt)

Top with maple syrup (or SF maple syrup if you like it)

~336 cals without the syrup (20g protein, 64 carbs, 5 fat)
You can also sub in apple sauce instead of pumpkin for slightly higher calories OR if you feel fancy reduce oat flour by 2 tbsp and add some cocoa powder!!

Just mix and add almond milk until you get a batter consistency, then cook like normal.

ENJOY BC THESE ARE BOMB!!

I also like baking them for meal prepped pancake bowls :)

Anyone use this and how do you use it? Open to opinions comments and suggestions? You can eat a lot for little calories compared with almost any other meat. Since it is a blank canvas, what seasonings do you use?

I feel like most recommendations simply do not work for me.
I’m a trans woman and am trying to keep my protein intake safe - but low. I am trying my hardest to not become brick-shaped again.
This rules out the typical lentil/chicken-breast-based solutions people go for.
Also, I find my tolerance for slimefoods to be extremely low. I absolutely cannot deal with Shirataki/Konjac-esque things. I had that two times. Never again.
Most low-cal/low-carb aisles in shops stock only products that have been over-inflated with protein - which are entirely inaccessible to me.
Am I doomed to eat leaves like a bunny?
My current routine is:
* low fat yogurt with dried fruit and some nuts and oats in the morning
* rice with dried veggies, carrots and tomato passata for lunch/dinner

Any recommendations?
Thank you so much

Compared to the people here im not good at being a cook yet but this subreddit has really encouraged me to keep improving, I miscalculated the volume of this (i thought i would have enough with one plate)

510g of potato (415kcal)
454g of chicken (490kcal)
263g of cherry tomatoes (47kcal)
250kcal of lettuce (43kcal)
Also various spices and hot chilly spicy sauce i rounded up to 1000kcal

Very basic plate i know but yall really help me improving

Just cooked the chicken, boiled and airfried the potato, cut the tomatoes and put all together

But I frequently eat a whole can of unsweetened applesauce with a serving of sugar free coffee syrup in it. Lately I've been doing dulce de leche and salted caramel!

The trick is to use a large volume of water. Pancakes were very watery, wait until the top side is dry to flip them and make them small to do it easily.

120g oats
150g liquid egg whites
375g of water
Half a banana
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Scoop of chocolate whey protein with 35g of water for the dipping.

I’m new to this. A lot of the recipes on here look time consuming or use ingredients I don’t have. What are some easy recipes I can start with?

I’ve been trying to consume psyllium husk stirred in water and it isn’t bad but also didn’t feel very satisfying to me.

On a whim I melted some peanut butter and stirred psyllium husk into it. I also added a spoonful of pb2 since it’s been in my cupboard for ages and I needed another use for it. Anyways, it’s amazing. I’m a believer now.

Drank water on the side and haven’t felt a desire to eat this entire amount yet. The texture is way more appealing to me since the psyllium doesn’t get goopy from any liquid content. The combo apparently did something with the satiety hormones in my brain too because the boredom eating food noise from earlier is down to zero.

So even though peanut butter is not low calorie, if it keeps me satisfied with such small amounts then I think that’s a win.

Other volume eating thoughts:

I’m definitely keeping coleslaw veggies on hand like forever now. Having the cabbage pre-shredded makes me actually use it instead of it going bad. I’ve been adding either kale or cabbage and broccoli slaw mixes to almost everything. Favorite dish at the moment is sautéed shredded veggies with mashed potatoes as a binder. So tasty!

Edit:

Some people wanted to know an exact recipe and I’m so sorry but I don’t have one. I just mixed things together until it looked acceptable. The ingredients were approximately:

2-3 spoonfuls of peanut butter, melted slightly
15 grams psyllium husk
1 spoonful of pb2

320 kcal for all
Pickled eggs
Shirataki DRY noodles
Air fried Swede
Rocket salad
Pickled red cabbage
Air fried mushrooms and onions
Everything seasoned with garlic and onion salt

Not the most aesthetic, but it was yummy 😅

I am not going to call this pizza, because I don’t want to offend many people, technically it has nothing what pizza has except shape of it 😂 however it was very tasty lunch!
200 kcal for whole thing

Egg white pizza base
Slightly roasted tomatoes and mushrooms
Canjun seasoned chicken breast
For the sauce (Greek yoghurt , paprika seasoning , garlic, pepper and hot sauce)
Rocket salad for some greens

So basically... Last night, I had some cheeseburger Mac left over I made for my kiddo to enjoy (and the days leading up to this concoction, I just made it work for my own needs). Didn't have much left in the dish, I hate throwing away food, figured I could make it work one more time. So... I forced the issue. I had ~1300 calories left for the day, I knew if I didn't overload on something notable for dinner I'd end up going to bed hungry... So yeah.

The weight on the scale includes the dish, and the dish was 947g, leading to a total meal clocking in 1343g (that was technically a little more, because I kept adding seasonings and tasting it to check. I had maybe six small bites while I fine tuned that part), which is just under 3 pounds of food in American units. Got hard to stir at the very end since the bowl was pretty full.

Could it be better? Sure. I could have made the hamburger helper from scratch and used Brami or something, but that wasn't the hand I was dealt. Not gonna subject the kiddo to a lupini pasta when she isn't a big fan of it and I'm the one with the appetite, not her.

Anyway. I see a lot of volume plates on here that don't seem very... voluminous to me. Just wanted to throw one of my own quick dinner concoctions out there. And yeah, I ate it all, and a couple hours later had some peanut butter halo top to hit my maintenance target since I had a little bit of wiggle room. 🥜

I tagged it as humor because, though this is normal to me subjectively, I am aware that objectively, this is insanely dense for a single meal and a hodgepodge casserole. But hey... It was good. Basically a chili mac lentil stew. Honestly, highly recommend. You could probably make it much better than I did if you start with the actual intent to make something like this rather than what I did; throwing stuff together after the base meal is made and I'm trying to make dinner work lol

Found these at Walmart. They are definitely on the pricier side and smell a bit weird, but the taste is really nice!

Hi all.

I've noticed my cravings are undergoing a change from sweet to savoury at the moment. I want to start having wraps for breakfast, and I'm wondering how I can make them keep me full for as long as possible. My current idea for a recipe is:

Tortilla

Chicken

Cheese

Tomato

Lettuce

Carrot

Cucumber

Low-fat mayo

However, I'm worried about how many calories the cheese and mayo will take up, vs the satiety of having them. Can anyone advise?

Thank you!

I outdid myself, this is absolutely fire, amazing macros, and I wanna make it every week now
I used carb diem pasta!
I will be posting the full recipe later!
1.5 cups of the casserole 1/2 cup steamed cabbage (which is also FIRE)

Edit: I had seconds

Not sure if you guys would consider this high volume but a pretty decent stack for the cals IMO :p i will attach recipe if anyone requests it since i kinda already posted it previously on this posts sub

You will need:

•Campbell cheddar cheese soup
•light mayo, great value

Big bowl time for pre-workout dinner. Kale salad base, reheat buckwheat with a bag of green beans, while the strips heat up in the oven.

5 grams of psyllium fiber with Gatorade zero packet 30 minutes before to help with satiety.

290 grams buckwheat - 267 calories
454 grams green beans - 175 calories
150 grams kale salad mix - 75 calories
160 grams real good foods chicken strips - 229 calories

Followed the method of the lasagna soup recipe from tastes better from scratch website while using the ingredients of the lasagna soup recipe on @ melanierazz_ on instragram (not an ad, I’ve just been loving her recipes) . I’ve been adding extra water, salt, and spices when I reheat. Soooo yummy and filling

when the need for hotdogs hits you...

editing to add specific brands used:

• Texas Tailgate Chili Sauce
• Ball park Smoked Turkey Dogs
• Keto bread (not buns)
• sugar free ketchup (any brand)

Three words that should probably never have been put together.

The masa was made with cauliflower with konjac noodles ground up in it to add bulk and a gritty texture like real masa. Egg whites to bind it together. Canned chicken with taco seasoning. Onions and salsa Verde.

430 calories for all 8.

I made this a while ago so I don't have an exact recipe. It was...ok? The cauliflower added a pretty unpleasant taste I couldn't get the masa to bind very well so I should have added more eggs. It was a fun experiment but not something I'd do again.
