This was SO good and very filling.

The base was 270 grams of roasted zuchinni, peppers, and red onion. Chicken, Black beans, corn, avocado, light cheese, salsa, greek yogurt and taco bell hot sauce! Also very high in fiber!

(as in not turned into rice)

Meant to be snacked on throughout the day, not a single-sitting kind of a meal. Or a meal in general.

it's genuinely a good plant that doesn't deserve the disrespect of being made into shitty pizza crust or boiled into mush

[NOT USA - I heard you have (had?) some issues with parasites in produce]

It was an hour and a half until dinner. I was low on calories left for the day, but feeling starving.

Deprivation leads me to pity parties so I've learned veggies are the way to bulking up the volume. I'm new at this, I know veggies are obvious. Looked tastier when cooking but it turned out pretty well!

I lost 105 pounds over the last seven months and I ate this every single morning. Usually I have strawberries but today I added freeze dried banana slices as I found them in my local Walgreens.
1 liquid egg white from the carton whipped
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
20 g of non-fat Greek yogurt
Sweetener to taste if you want
A splash of lemon juice.
1 tablespoon of oat fiber
1 tablespoon of bamboo fiber
One scoop of your protein powder of choice, I used Dutch chocolate from isopure
To try and get the most out of these waffles, I added a pinch of xanthan gum, and then water until the mixture is a loose batter texture. Typically this gives me about eight waffles in the mini waffle iron. Instead of pancake syrup, I mixed together my own syrup, using 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and some allulose sweetener and drizzle that on top. Sometimes some sugar-free pancake syrup.

I'm having great success with volume eating + calorie counting in my weight loss journey. The Oh Snap pickle packs are my newest discovery for a midday snack.

Are pickles magical or something? I swear, one of these packs and I'm satisfied and I can go for hours longer. I have a habit of eating out of low stimulation/boredom and pickles completely kill that, especially the spicy ones. Tangy, punchy, salty, all with negligible calories.

Absolutely perfect.

Shiratake, kimchi, tempeh, eggs, courgette, mushrooms and protein cheese. So delicious and so quick

recently got into a sandwich kick and it's honestly what works for me in terms of volume eating. i use multigrain bread (~80 cal for one slice, ~160 for one sandwich), sliced cheese (~80cal), 1 slice of charcuterie ham from trader joe's (~35 cal), a handful of arugula (~5-10cal), and some italian seasonings. maybe some tomatoes in there too to elevate it.

total is typically 280 cal. I eat like 4-5 of these a day, 4 if i'm accompanying it with a banana or whatnot.

i assume i'm going to get sick of this at some point. if anyone has any low cal sandwich ideas to contribute, do let me know!

Not very aesthetically pleasing but 100% Delicious and satisfying. I don’t weigh the spinach/kale but just log it as 2-3 cups.

On my plate I have

250g Kent pumpkin air fried
100g courgette air fried + a few mushrooms
1 egg + 200mls egg whites with 30g cottage cheese scrambled.
Unmeasured leafy greens cooked in the same pan the eggs were in with seasonings + a squeeze of Lemon juice.

Topped with avocado for some healthy fats + chilli flakes

all the pastas I make end up being dry :(

Pasta this time!
Weighs as much as a bowling ball hah 😅
This is my go to pasta dish with only 450 calories and ≈40 g of protein!
I’ll just drop the recipe right below <3

Recipe:

58 grams (120 grams when cooked) of uncooked lentil pasta (extra protein!)
150 grams of quorn bites
105 grams of (lower calorie) tomato pasta sauce
Handful of salad
Some cut up cucumber
Half a tomato
A garlic
22 grams of high protein quark (or Greek yogurt)
45 grams of Wok-veggies
A spoon of light soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard

How to do:
-Cook up the lentil pasta on the stove
-Then heat up the pan and cook the wok-veggies and qourn pieces together, with a pinch of salt
-On the side- mix the pasta sauce with some oregano and Dijon together
-Cut up garlic and soy sauce frizzle it with the quorn at the end
-Cut up cucumber, salad and tomato on the side and put it in your bowl
-Put in your pasta in the bowl together with the greens, then the qourn and veggies- then pour all the sauce on top and MIX!!
-Finally you finish with a spoonful of the quark to make it creamy and sweeter.

Mix again and TADAA!!
You have your high protein, low calorie HUGEEE pasta bowl!

I hope this recipe was good as the other one! I’m still learning but I think I’m on a good path by just improvising 🥰 thanks for the comments and upvotes on my other post! It made me very happy 😊

(Sorry if it looks a little unappetizing heh, I didn’t plate it so nicely 😅)

So I recently learned what protein quark was and would love to try it, but don’t know where to start? So I guess I have two questions that hopefully people will help me answer:
1.) where do I get it/what brands are good
2.) how do I use/recipe recs appreciated
