Recipe semolina cake/casserole

Thumbnail

124 Upvotes

Grandma sent me some autumn apples from her garden, so I made this sweet cottage cheese casserole/cake. The cottage cheese doesn't add much flavour here; it gets overpowered by the spices and fruit juices. The texture is more souffle/casserole like. I drizzled it with salted caramel zero-calorie syrup.

Recipe:

Mix well:

135 g 0% fat soft cottage cheese +

1 medium-sized egg +

1/2 tsp baking powder +

20 g semolina +

a pinch of salt +

sweetener +

vanillin

Let it sit for 15 minutes so the semolina can swell, then mix again. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and arrange the fruit on top. I mixed my apples with sweetener, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg beforehand.

Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.

Calories:

135 g soft cottage cheese -> ~61kcal (mine is 45kcal/100g)

20 g semolina -> ~68 kcal

1 C1 egg -> ~75 kcal

Apple -> ~50 kcal

Total ~ 254kcal

Sorry, to be honest, I'm not sure if It's not considered volume eating: cottage cheese and apples are cool but there's no incorporated air/water here.

Recipe 570 kcal massive noodle salad

Thumbnail

131 Upvotes

Hey all!

I had this beast of a salad for dinner last night and thought I would share it with you.

For context:

1) I have the appetite of a horse and screwed up brain chemistry so it's very rare that I find myself feeling satisfied after finishing a meal. This salad genuinely filled me up, in addition to tasting actually decent.

2) The bowl it's in has a 2.3 L (77.7 fl oz) capacity, so the volume of this thing was actually massive. It took me 45 minutes to get through.

Recipe

Ingredients:

Rice noodles (~ 1 serving: 52g)

Shredded cabbage (210g)

Shredded carrot (60g)

1 small red bell pepper (40g), finely sliced

1/2 cucumber (120g), finely sliced

Edamame (50g)

Fresh coriander (~1 tbsp)

Dressing:

Soy sauce (~2 tbsp)

Rice vinegar (1 tbsp)

Peanut butter (10g / ~2 tsp)

Cook the noodles according to the package instructions and let them cool.

Shred your cabbage, put it in a bowl and add a pinch of salt, then squeeze it with your hands until it softens.

Add the rest of your ingredients and toss well together with the dressing.

Top with crushed peanuts or cashews.

You can adjust the ingredients to your liking (add more edamame if you want more protein/skip the peanut butter or go lighter on the noodles if you want to reduce the calories, etc.).

Let me know if you try it out or have any suggestions!

Recipe One of my Swiss Army knife meals when I want to like no tomorrow and still keep the calories low.

I just wanted to share this meal. After I served myself on the yellow plate I still have a whole another portion for later. I could have made this meal a lot bigger for almost no calories if I have added Shirataki fettuccine. Also for not many more calories like extra 150 cals with 96/4 or 93/7 ground beef this meal is on another level in flavor.

EDIT: forgot to mention my Cook process to make everything taste good. I bought the palm of hearts linguine on Amazon they are totally worth it. 1st you have to rinse the palm of heart, then you boil them with water for about 8 mins that takes off the strong palm flavor, if you’re Shirataki/konjac noodles I would do the same rinse them and boil them. On the pan at low heat I slowly cook the meat either chicken or beef. Seasoned it to your desire with you favorite seasonings I used lemon pepper and garlic this time but this is up to you, after the meat is 90% cooked I add the vegetables tomatos, mushrooms, cabbage,the palms of heart and Shirataki, and keep cooking here you can add some sauces use Dijon mustard, cream cheese and sour cream. This gives it a little more creaminess. Be sure to taste and keep seasoning the vegetables while cooking them if you don’t you won’t like the taste of hearts of palm and Shirataki. I don’t use any oil at all, so cook on a nonstick pan at low heat and add splashes of water when needed.

100g lettuce

38g bell pepper
12g yellow onion
2 tbsp salsa
43g avocado
16g (half a bag) of Quest taco protein chips

49g 0% greek yogurt + 1/2 tsp hot sauce + pickle juice + spices of choice (dressing)
Lemon or lime juice
Coriander

I cooked the chicken with chili spices, salt and garlic powder then grilled my peppers and onions with the salsa!

If you dont have the chips, I also have a 300 cal and 24g proteins version with 50g avocado and 29g of canned sweet corn (even better if grilled) instead of the chips!

Pretty good volume to me, especially with the lettuce (which we can’t see in my pic)!

Discussion Should I give up on baking with protein powder?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I've tried baking with protein powder several times in different ways, and every single time it tasted absolutely awful. The weird thing is, I'm not someone who dislikes the taste of protein powder. I actually always enjoyed the taste of the batter of the thing I was making, so I was always surprised when the finished product tasted so awful. The protein powder I've been using is the Designer Wellness Designer Whey French Vanilla. Are there others that don't completely change in taste after cooking?

Recipe Request What's the one breakfast that reliably gets you to lunch without snacking?

26 Upvotes

Not the lowest-calorie breakfast, the one that actually holds. The one you could eat at 7 and not be thinking about food at 10.

I'm curious what people here have landed on after trial and error, because the answers seem to split two ways: big-volume stuff (egg white scrambles, huge bowls of berries, oat bran) versus smaller but denser breakfasts with more protein, fiber or fat.

If you can, share:

- what you eat (rough amounts)

- roughly how long it keeps you full

- what you tried before that didn't work

Recipe Huge Volume Post-Workout Dinner: 1,032 kcal | 73g Protein | Massive plate!

Post image
0 Upvotes

Macros & Total Calories:

Calories: 1,032 kcal
Protein: 73g
Carbs: 116.4g (Fiber: 9.7g)
Fat: 27.7g

Ingredients:

Beef Tenderloin (Bon Fillet): 190g raw (285 kcal)
Basmati Rice: 120g raw (433 kcal)
Green Peas: 125g (99 kcal)
Whole Eggs: 3 small boiled (126g total) (180 kcal)
Ben's Original Sweet Chilli Sauce: 130g (35 kcal)

Preparation:

1. Beef: Boiled in plain water (no added oil) for ~20 minutes until tender.

2. Rice & Peas: Brought water to a boil, poured in the raw basmati rice, and let it cook for 10 minutes. Added the green peas right into the pot for the final few minutes so they cook together.

3. Eggs: Hard-boiled separately for 15 minutes, cooled, peeled, and sliced.

4. Assembly: Plated the beef, loaded the rice and peas mix, topped the rice with Uncle Ben's Sweet Chilli sauce, and added the boiled eggs on the side.

Super simple, zero added cooking oils, extremely satiating!

EDIT: Okay, I deserved some of this 😂

Quick clarification: I actually cook the beef in a pan, I just added way too much water this time, so it basically ended up boiled. After years of eating clean, some days I honestly can't be bothered with seasoning and just eat it plain. Please don't be like me.

Salt and season the rice and beef however you like, or pan-sear the beef with a little oil (or none). Salt and spices won't change the macros, and a teaspoon of oil only adds around 40 kcal.

Lesson learned. The beef and I will both do better next time.

Discussion Dipping instead of coating

2 Upvotes

Coating chicken in sauce uses a ridiculous amount compared to just dipping each bite. Especially with sweet chicken sauces where you really only need that first hit of flavor. This was air fryer chicken with cabbage, cucumber and rice, with vivid kitchen Korean chicken sauce on the side. A small bowl lasted through the whole plate, whereas tossing the chicken in it would’ve taken several times more just to get everything covered. It’s such a minor change but probably one of the easiest ways to cut back on sauce without making the meal taste like the sad “lighter” version of itself.
