Pina Colada protein fluff! Quest vanilla with frozen pineapple and made with coconut/almond blend milk. It needs a little paper umbrella! Yum.

Ugh... i'm a volume eater and completely underestimated my dinner today and had nothing else out of the freezer. 19 (yes, 19!) tortelloni, 50gr marcarpone sauce, 50gr. bacon, 10 gr. parmeggiano. Better planning for tomorrow needed I guess.4

I eat a pound or two of veggies and pickles for lunch so that I can eat like this for dinner once and awhile.

I guess i have officially become a volume eater. Do we have a secret hand shake or something? Lol4

only I am having trouble with my macros being well balanced.0 -
Following for recipes. This is an interesting way to eat and I’m willing to try to lose my final 5-10lbs. I know this was mentioned before but I also get a very large belly after eating lots of veggies 😛 but a large belly is a full belly 😏1

As someone who's used to eating waaay-too-big portions, a habit that led to my obesity, I think I volume eat by default. For lunch I had a whole pound of asparagus cooked in minimal EVOO and garnished with lean meat, onions, and spices. And so what? That might seem like a /ton/ of asparagus to some people but the whole meal fit comfortably within my caloric budget and left me feeling satisfied. 30 pounds down, 70 to go, and this approach has been working for me so far.11

yes my plate always has a ton of food as I have tons of veggies (no sauce, no butter no oil). Skip the starch (too many cals per volume) and then a lean protein (this varies). I skip oils of any kind to get "more food" and use herbs and spices
I need to mentally have a lot of componants in my meal. a full plate. I am not a fan of smoothies as they are liquid :P I wanna eat! it is a big mind game though, and I'll need to eventually do some work on the volume to improve overall eating habits.
It has me off in my stats though. Volume eating has me very low in fat. Which wasn't my goal!4 -

What low cal salad dressings do you guys use? I think I need to move on from hot sauce and salsa 🤪1

e: ^ I don't really do low calorie dressings, I just use either lemon juice and olive oil or this 'zesty lime' italian dressing Kraft makes, it's like 60 calories for two tablespoons which is pretty negligible.
Didn't realize there was an actual term for this but I do this all the time. I moved to two meals a day in a six hour window, no snacking, and most days I just pair whatever protein with something like steamed broccoli with lemon juice, or squash or asparagus roasted with tomatoes and peppers. Nothing else I've tried has made it so simple to eat at a deficit, I don't have really have to do much planning or thinking about what I eat at all.
It's a wonderfully CHEAP way to live too. It's pretty rare I spend more than $2 on a meal.5 -

I just swirl some mustard over the top of my salad and then use vinegar (apple cider or red wine) or pickle juice (bread n butter). Then I'll use some garlic powder and paprika. Put the top on the container and shake so it all mixes in! It's delicious!2 -
No photo as I've mostly eaten it already.
Cook 70gr. rice in cooker
cut leftover hard-ish vegetables and stirfry in a wok (I used green beans, cauliflaur, radish, and spiralled squash)
remove veggies from wok
add finely chopped garlic, ginger, spring onion and 100gr. pork mince to wok and fry without oil
add about 30ml soyasauce, about 10gr fermented beanpaste and 5gr swashed sesame seeds. Stirfry until crispy
Serve rice in bowl and add veggies and mince mix.
Cut pickled gherkin in fine pieces and add to the top
about 572kcal, and absolutely yum!3 -

Like ThereAreMan I have things around that are no brainer, like precooked ground turkey patties, chicken breasts stuffed with something & grilled or baked & veggies/salads. My favorite dressing is Ken's lite northern italian 45cal for 2 Tbl. when I add a home made smoothie to any meal I'm stuffed1

forgot to add: unsweetened apple sauce with lite cool whip0

I put a TON of onion powder on my salads and veggies, LOL. I find it really gives salads a great flavor and almost like a chip coating, (I mixed it up after this) when it mixes with and thickens the dressing. So good!
I saw this last week and since then I have started putting onion powder on my salads. Holy Cow! What a difference. Most of the time I don't even need dressing. Actually, I now never need dressing, but sometimes add it for the taste.

It really tastes fantastic, doesn't it! I find the texture even makes it feel a bit like grated cheese or something. 3 -
I also like TJ’s “everything but the bagel” seasoning on salads and grilled veggies.2
