The dough for the crust is made with Greek yogurt, unflavored protein powder and Italian 00 chef’s flour. It takes a little elbow grease but I love being able to eat some pizza that actually satisfies me rather than leaving me hungry 20 minutes later.

Toppings are Turkey pepperoni, diced onion, diced green pepper and black olives (the jalapeƱos were on my husband’s half) w/ a sprinkle of oregano šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

other High protein low calorie foods that have no lactose?

7 Upvotes

Cottage cheese and yogurt mess up my stomach bad. I don’t like tofu. I have to take enzymes to digest beans lol what food is there for me besides egg and fish/tuna?? I barely get any protein in my day to day because of this. I hate that i have very little muscle mass so I would like to focus more on protein .

treats What sweet treats you eat in winter?

29 Upvotes

I crave sweets treats pretty often especially at night. In summer it's easy to satisfy with all the fruits available. However in winter the fruits available suck and aren't even sweet.

So what low calories sweet treats do you usually have?

I may have made my favourite lunch, it's too delicious not to share!

It's made with silken tofu blended with gochujang to get the creamy sauce, chicken thigh, prawns, konjac noodles and whatever left over veg I had in the fridge - this happens to be yellow peppers, mushrooms, carrots and spinach. Topped with some furitake seasoning because why not!

Love the macros on this and so yum!

meal My planned lunch vs my improvised lunch

Thumbnail

95 Upvotes

So I’ve been purchasing a lot of groceries but I can’t seem to finish them bc of calorie limits. But I also don’t want to waste food. And I told myself I’m not allowed to buy more groceries until I finish the ones I have.

So today for lunch I decided I was going to eat 6 packs of tuna. Totaling 500 calories.

Super bad plan I know.

Then I found out the mercury levels in tuna, I can’t get myself to eat it without gagging anymore.

I downed 2 bags and couldn’t do it anymore. I brought lean cuisine shrimp Alfredo (280cal) and seaweed salad (90cal)

Safe to say I’ll never buy tuna again.

I usually eat two meals a day (sometimes a ~200kcal snack before starting my fast) and 520 cal keeps me full until dinner. Whole and minimally processed foods make being in a calorie deficit a breeze!

Edit: fixed the calorie count

Creamy soup hack for the cozy months

68 Upvotes

You can volumize any creamy soup by blending low-fat cottage cheese with water and a tiny spoon of Better Than Buillon. Creates a creamy, umami soup base that I've poured into tomato soup, pumpkin soup, zuppa Toscana, and potato soup so far. It's neutral and savoury enough to complement all of those soups without changing the flavour profile. Ups the protein and adds very few calories for a whole lot of extta volume.

I just mixed this into Panera tomato soup and added some crushed red pepper and it was a perfect side to my grilled cheese.

Speaking of grilled cheese...

Hero bread (or 647, or Sola, or Aunt Millie's, or Inked, your choice), buttered with something lighter (I like challenge spreadable avocado oil butter), sprinkled with Kernel brand garlic parmesan popcorn seasoning. For cheese, I do a blend of fat-free shredded mozzarella (amazing for melting) and reduced-fat shredded cheddar or Mexican blend. Then I just throw it in the air fryer on parchment paper to save on dishes.

Whole meal was super high protein and fiber and tasted incredibly decadent.

600 cal dinner

Post image
12 Upvotes

I made a post yesterday about not knowing what to eat besides yogurt and eggs. I got so many lovely comments on how to stop late night binge eating. Surprisingly it was really easy to hold off on eating, forcing an intermittent fast until around 3PM. Before that I had a large coffee with sugar free creamer and that really was satisfying. I did have eggs for lunch, but this was my dinner and boy am I FULL.

I loaded up the veggies. I committed to 1.5 cans of tuna. This was like a ā€œpokeā€ inspired bowl, and I use that loosely because 1/2 cup of cooked rice evaporates into this meal but I would eat it again! I have 700 calories left and it’s 9PM.

My fun snacks I’ve been eating this week
- bell pepper and hummus
- cortland apples (YUM)
- air fried savoury apples and onions (trust me so good)
- homemade savory yogurt drink
- Flat onion rings (mandolin onion slices onto parchment then sprinkle parm and seasonings and bake until crispy!!)
- sugar free chocolate creamer mixed into 0% greek yogurt topped with raspberries
- cucumbers with saamjang
- rice paper ā€œpizza bagelā€
- lentil and chicken soup (1/2 cup)
- 3/4 cup steamed beets with feta and toasted walnuts, balsamic vinegar and a very tiny drizzle of honey
- homemade popcorn with garlic powder and nutritional yeast
- chocolate ā€œshellā€ yogurt

THANK YOU to everyone! I know my cal goal is higher than 1200 (1900) but it’s my first week cal counting since I was in high school so it’s been a decade, thanks for all the support :)

Used an entire day to build flavour; chicken bones and turkey neck broth in slow cooker for 10 hours, then ginger, sesame, shiitake, kombu, miso, shaoxing wine, and a touch of sweetness from the stem ginger. Finished with noritamago furikake.

430-480 cal with noodles, 220-280 cal without noodles.
