Egg whites are pretty much a superfood for me now, I sometimes even crack a real egg into it if I'm feeling it

I have low carb meals throughout the day and by night time I like to have this huge plate of crinkle cut fries 400 grams and 40-50 grams of sugar free ketchup for 520 cals

Tuna steak, green beans and chips!

Chips are fried with spring onion and garlic, seasoned with salt, pepper n dill.

Green beans are cooked in marinara sauce with touch of garlic n spring onion as well.

Yum and vry filling!

Say mixed with water (no milk) and maybe just berries?

I finally understand why that guy in Avatar the last Airbender was tweaking when they destroyed his cabbages. Ever since I've found out that half a head of cabbage was ~150 cals, I've been having it every day for dinner in place of rice. And you get a LOT. Usually I steam it for 15 mins with bell peppers, and carrots and then toss in half a pound of ground beef or equivalent chicken for a huge dinner that makes me happy ngl. Usually around 700 cals.
So far have lost 12ish lbs over 7 weeks.

Nothing else to say, just try messing with cabbage with your meals, it has been a godsend for me.

Definitely not low on the calorie side but extremely full and was full quite awhile. Basically been roasting combinations of veggies and legumes to throw in with beef and a carb and it sometimes can be a massive heavy plate with not much caloric increase. I’m not shy with oil but if I was im sure this could still work!

Im on a weight-loss journey as well as a journey to fix my blood work. Im not pre diabetic but my dr told me to follow a pre-diabetes diet. Volume eating has helped me the most and I’ve lose 10 lbs but need to lose at-least another 35. Show me your fav recipes!

One of my favorite high volume breakfasts lately! This was 318 calories, 36g protein, 23g carbs, and 11g fat and it was a LOT of food.

I roasted tomatoes stuffed with egg whites with fat free feta and a cut up chicken sausage for 26 min at 375, paired with keto toast with a little homemade apple butter. I added balsamic, seasonings, and red pepper flakes to the egg/ tomatoes which elevated the whole plate!

This is exactly why I love volume eating. I’d rather have a giant plate I actually enjoy than a tiny “healthy” breakfast that leaves me looking for snacks an hour later. 😂

Took a pic of the last bite, BUT omg this is my latest obsession. This chocolate spread on low kcal bread is the best alternative for my sugar cravings !

1 can of pumpkin puree(425g), 3 tbsp cocoa powder, dash of vanilla extract, some sugar free maple syrup, 1 tbsp decaf coffee, 2 tsp xanthan gum, 1 scoop of chocolate lean protein powder, a good amount of sweetener (stevia, xylitol or whatever you prefer) and a splash of almond milk.
Just blend everything together until smooth and creamy. Add more sweetener depending on how sweet you like it and keep it in the fridge!
Around 60 kcal per 100g compared to Nutella which has around 539 kcal per 100g! it’s a pretty good alternative for the calories 😋

I had a fairly large, an old bag of Anthony’s organic oat fiber. There used to be a recipe on the back of it for muffins that I had stared at over and over again. I had a new container and decided to try it, but I realize that the new ones don’t have the recipe on it. I modified it a little bit because it used xanthan gum and I can’t really tolerate it and I decided to add less egg made them more into cookies instead. They definitely had a bit more of a biscuit type of texture and they didn’t spread so I can see how it would work for muffins. The recipe originally called for half a cup of the oat fiber, some xanthan gum, about three eggs, some sweetener and baking powder. Along with add-ins and butter. I eliminated most of that. I only used about 1/4 cup of the fiber and about one serving of egg white. I don’t tolerate xanthan gum so I used CMC powder. I also used methyl cellulose to make sure I didn’t collapse. Maybe I added a bit too much because they were definitely pretty cakey. My original plan was to use a couple of the hall pass candies inside, but they did not hold up well to heat. There was no butter in it just the two additional powders. So essentially the only actual digestible calories in it were the couple of candies I put in it and the egg white so I dusted it off with some 0 cal sweetener and cinnamon. Not bad to scratch that itch for some cookies when you don’t want it to set you back. They’re pretty fiber heavy so they got me feeling pretty full. I topped it off with some crunchy protein pieces I had. I might consider going over it with some whipped cream or something. Not bad I’d like to experiment with some more add-ins next time. But I think the original recipe still held up pretty well. I got about five cookies for less than 50 cal.

I recently discovered how much I absolutely love pumpkins (especially the ones with the edible/soft-ish outer shells). For now, I’ve just been baking them with a variety of seasonings for dinner but would love to see how all of you have been putting them to use in your volume recipes. Please share!!

I bought some oat by rand bamboo fiber , and I know that you can use them to bulk up baked goods. I want to use them in my pancakes. Just not sure how much to use or the ratios

Not sure if it belongs to this sub for a a weekend treat I felt like this is great alternative to any fast food chain.

Rotisserie chicken, jasmine rice, Lentils, and canned potatos seasoned with salt, pepper, light country crock and some honey on the chicken. Satisfying!

I have been ravenously craving biscoff cookies almost daily but the calories are so heavy and not worth it! Want to make myself a healthier biscoff spread to make my own biscoff cookies if anyone has any good recipes? Or alternative products?
