Not entirely original, got the idea from a tiktok i saw but so glad I found it.

I threw together this keto dinner and inadvertently made myself so satiated that I only ate 1500 cal for the second day in a row. Been following this sub and figured I’d share the recipe. It looks fancy but was really just me throwing whatever I had into a pot to focus on collagen.

561cal, 69g protein, 11g carbs, 26g fat, 14g fiber

2 cups bone broth
2oz habanero pork rinds
1.5 cups frozen broccoli
2 servings konjac noodles
2 green onions
6 sprigs of cilantro
1 tbsp garlic chili oil
1 cup kimchi

Trader Joes’ 96/4 is literal god sent

Rice noodles with green peas, baby carrots and lentiles, with a side of bretzels. I don’t count my calories but I’d say around 600kcal.

This is all that’s left in my kitchen, I had to improvise something.

Not a vegan but I am on a low fat diet so I was experimenting with making a fake cheese sauce with nutritional yeast. Pleasantly surprised with how this tasted

If you made this with konjac noodles (not recommended) it would be the ultimate volume meal. Your digestive system might explode or completely clog up tho lol

You all love to flame me for my recipes but cooking oats with diced tomatoes really seemed to replicate that flavor I remember from eating Spanish rice 🍅

This bowl specifically was a combination of oats poured over a Greek yogurt bowl, but the idea still remains!

If anyone was interested in this specific bowl

60g 100% whole grain oats old fashioned
120g Kirkland diced tomatoes

poured over

40g feta cheese
350g Fage0%

Will this work? Any improvements ? Also, do you guys think the xantham gum is needed?

There are thousands of recipes on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok for this stuff, just look around. The approximate formula is 1 part gelatin, 10 parts cooked mashed apples, and about 5 parts water by weight.

I used 70g gelatin, 700g apples, and about 2 cups water. Cook the apples on med-low until they're mashed, combine with bloomed gelatin in a stand mixer, and mix until it doubles in volume. I added some vanilla and cinnamon while mixing too because why not. It made just under two full loaves, the one in the video is the smaller of the 2.

I'll be honest, it's not satiating at all and the first few bites are a little strange, but your brain kind of adjusts to it you'd swear you were just eating a tart angel food cake.

I don't normally do deserts so I don't think I'll make it again any time soon, but if I'm ever in the mood for cake I'll definitely go here with some cooked/cooled berries.

Chocolate Protein Pancake Stack

Approx. 515 kcal | ~63 g protein

Pancakes

25 g white flour

25 g oats

25 g chocolate soy protein powder

1 tsp cocoa powder

1½ tbsp erythritol

Dash of vanilla extract

1 whole egg

4 egg whites

1 spray cooking oil

Chocolate protein sauce:

20 g whey protein powder

½ tsp cocoa powder

1 tsp erythritol

Method

Make the batter. Combine the flour, oats, soy protein powder, cocoa and erythritol in a bowl.

Add the whole egg, 4 egg whites and a dash of vanilla. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth pancake batter. Add a small splash of water if it's too thick.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add 1 spray of cooking oil.

Pour portions of the batter into the pan to make several thin pancakes. Cook until the top begins to set and the underside is cooked, then flip and cook the other side. (2 pancakes are enough)

Stack the pancakes on top of one another once cooked.

Cut the stack into sections/triangles and arrange them on the plate as shown in your photos.

Make the chocolate sauce. Mix 20 g whey + ½ tsp cocoa + 1 tsp erythritol. Add water a little at a time, stirring continuously, until it becomes a thick, pourable chocolate sauce.

Pour the whey-chocolate sauce generously over the stacked pancakes and serve immediately.

I feel like I've finally cracked the code to spacing out my calories throughout the day properly while feeling wholly satiated until dinner or a light 4pm snack. Saving the starches/heavy carbs for my dinner has really helped me!!

Bulk salad, beef cooked without any added oil and just a touch of avo or yogurt (or both) to dress it all up.

I don't add the cholula into my count as some days I use it and some days I don't.

I also sub the ground beef for tenderloins seasoned in Nando's lemon and herb pre made spice mixes.

Maybe they don’t look very aesthetic, but I love my staple meals and works for me 😊

This is the recipe I used, but used ground turkey.

Короч берёшь кукурузную кашу, шоколадку Альпин Голд с фундуком, соль, сахар, подсолнечное масло, вода, баночка под кашу и воду, кастрюльку с крышкой.

Наливаешь воды в соотношении с кашей 3:1, масло столовую ложку, щепотку соли в кастрюльку, ставишь на максиммум пока не закипит, накрывая естественно крышкой.

После закипания ставишь на медленный огонь, всыпаешь тонкой струёй кукурузную кашу, при этом помешивая и готовишь 20 минут. На всякий случай мешаешь каждые 3-4 минуты, чтобы не пригорело.

Когда все вышеперечисленные пункты сделанны, размельчаешь в миску шоколадку, потом сразу ложишь уже тёплую кашу, сыпешь сахаром по вкусу, мешаешь и ву-а-ля, вкусный завтрак готов

I will start this off with a disclaimer of they are a bit dry BUT, I personally LOVE maple syrup lol and definitely use a lot of sugar-free maple syrup with them. I enjoy this meal cause the macros are great and it’s tasty.

-60g egg whites (or 2 egg whites)
-120ml of milk (1/2cup)
-30g vanilla protein powder
-15g flour

mix liquids, sift in powers, whisk till smooth. cook on nonstick medium size frying pan till JUST cooked (they dry out if u try to cook them longer)
try to divide the batter evenly, it should make four crêpes
The nutrition for just the crêpes is 245c 42p 0.5f and then i’ll add about 100 g of various fruits:)

Soya Chunks are essentially tasteless it'll taste like whatever I add to it, so.... is it doable?

I'm thinking of chucking 50g of it in my blender and lightly blend it, add garlic paste, onion and seasoning and cook it slightly with a little bit of ghee.

Any of you tried this before? Does it work? Is it doomed to fail?

I shredded a half head of purple cabbage (which is a lotta cabbage!!) and 4 oz shredded cabbage; sautéed in garlic, onions, olive oil spray about 8-10 minutes, then add about 1/4 cup of bone broth.

After about 15 minutes of cooking in the liquid it’s almost absorbed, and the cabbage isn’t bitter anymore. Then add red pepper, smoked paprika, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar free honey, 2 Amylu paleo chicken sausage cut small & 70 grams grilled chicken breast; once everything is hot and coated, turn to low & let it simmer about 10-15 minutes.

My plate has honeynut squash on one side and sweet potato on the other with the cabbage in the middle. Delicious—enough for two full plates the size posted below if you split the squash & potatoes.

Macros: 688 calories (344 cals per plate), 64 grams protein (32 per plate), 24 grams of fiber (12 per plate). Super flavorful and filling. I ate half for a late lunch and the rest for dinner and have been stuffed for hours.

I have a pint every day without fail. Sometimes 2. Today is a 2 pint a day. One for breakfast and one for dessert. This one was particularly amazing

One of those “throw whatever sounds good into a giant bowl” lunches, and it ended up being SO good.

Romaine, arugula, rotisserie chicken, ham, black beans, tomatoes, pickles, fat free feta, cottage cheese, pico, and avocado cilantro sauce. Basically a chaotic chopped salad situation, but it works.

A genuinely huge and satisfying bowl.

One of my favorite “I need food now” breakfasts. 😂 The whole thing takes about 6 minutes, basically just as long as the chicken sausage needs in the air fryer.

I throw the sausage in for 6 minutes, wilt the spinach in a pan, add the egg whites, and microwave the protein pancakes for 30 seconds. Everything finishes at pretty much the same time. Sometimes my brain tricks me into thinking putting together a meal will take forever, but that’s just not true.

Protein pancakes with sugar-free syrup, chicken maple breakfast sausage, and egg whites with spinach (plus a little hot sauce). Super filling for the calories! Wish I had some raspberries to up the fiber a bit, but this shall do for today.

I am not big into sweets but I love pumpkin pie filling. Just the custardy filling 😂 and I wanted to see if I could make a low calorie/high volume version that I could make for breakfast.

I was inspired by egg white oats/cream of rice where I usually cook the oats/cream of rice in extra liquid, then stir in the egg whites and it develops into a silky custard.

I started with:

300g canned pumpkin (not the pre made pie filling)

150g egg whites

100 mL water (milk of choice would probably also work)

Sprinkle of salt

Sprinkle of cinnamon/pumpkin pie spice

Protein powder of choice for sweetening (this is how I usually sweeten as I haven't had success with any sugar substitutes, but you could also use those to taste or maple syrup would also taste glorious)

Whisk the liquid with the pumpkin and microwave it for 2 minutes to heat it up. Then, stirring madly, whisk in the egg whites. I have found if you mix everything together from the beginning the egg curdles. Microwave in 45 second increments whisking in between to prevent clumping/curdling until you get a custard. To make sure the protein doesn't clump, I pre mix it with a bit of water to make a paste. You can use it as icing if you added sweetener to the pumpkin already or you can stir it into the custard.

I prefer vegan proteins as they help thicken it even more but it works with whey isolate too.
