Volume Eaters Thread

Those of you who have been volume eating for a while (let's say >4-5 month since you decided to take this as a method), have you noticed you need bigger volumes with time? Or were you able to sustain the same portion sizes?
I think this works best for me, but I am worried in the long run I will just need to eat more and more1 -

yes i have noticed that sometimes i'll look at my voluminous plate and be like 'yea, i could do more'. that's what tracking is for!2 -
Strangely, with time, I've needed LESS volume. I think, however, that is because when I started I was getting NOWHERE NEAR enough protein by any measure. By which I mean only when tracking did I realize that most days I was < 20 grams of protein a day. So as I paid attention to protein I got better satisfaction and staying power and I've stopped being half starved all the time and just no longer need to eat huge quantities of things to avoid that.
I will still sit down and demolish a pound of mushroom slices in one sitting though, if it's just the right time of month.3 -

I had that yesterday, except subbing the choc. mix with drizzles of SF maple syrup. It was delicious but I just can't buy Cool Whip very often. It's a food of the devil.
A texture I love, but I overeat on it, there's no nutritional value and who knows what it's made of. 
It does fill me up and also leaves me wanting more and more. 3 -

It's my go to quick meal. And if you want to save 110 calories, skip the protein powder. I like the extra protein and i use Walden farms syrup0 -

I love low calorie stuff and went through a period recently where I ate a ton of this bread. But does it give anyone else headache? It's the only bread that seems to make my head hurt shortly after eating it. Anyone else??1 -

I have been eating it for about 6 months with no issues. Neither does my wife.1 -

I agree with you on the ban on CoolWhip... but how can you say that it fills you up and then makes you want more?
It does not fill me up at all, it just makes me hate myself for eating the whole tub and want more of it lol
Totally an emotional and textural want, nothing more. 1 -
^^^oh yes...the tahini is everything! Looks yum1

MARSHMALLOWS
40 calories for the pan
Recipe & directions : (this makes ONE 8x8 inch pan for 40 calories)
-measure 1/2 cup cold water & place in a mixing bowl
-evenly sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over water (wait a few mins for it to bloom, then mix it up)
-in the meantime, boil 1/2 water you can add whatever sugar (or substitute to taste) and whatever extract you want to make different flavors. I squirt some Crystal Light of choice and some squirts of stevia
-Once the water is bubbling, immediately pour into the mixing bowl (this really expands...use a big bowl) over the gelatin, and start mixing with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer for about 10-12 minutes. (add food coloring to make them pretty 😋)
-Immediately transfer to an 8x8 in pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal
Let them set up a few hours in fridge

OMG THIS IS BRILLIANT! Going to make these tomorrow, I already asked my mom to borrow her hand mixer LOL. How was the texture? Do they come out similar to regular marshmallows?2 -

Oooh very interesting!! Will definitely consider this. bought a bag of plain marshmallows mid-summer because I was in the mood for toasted marshmallows and found out how to do it without a campfire. I was sooo in the mood. But they didn't last long enough for me to try it. 
Right out of the bag seemed to work at the time.
But your recipe sounds like it's worth a try, using vanilla or maple extract?1 -
