    Can anyone recommend a good website for volume eating recipes?

    Following. I typically wing it. Or I put whatever I’m eating over a massive soaked or pile of broccoli, cauliflower, roasted squash, heaps of Zoodles - or whatever seems to go.

    Thats the thing about volume eating. You have to include a boat load of greens with every meal, otherwise nothing else will give you the volume that will fill you up.
    The protein choices can change all the time and here is where you would get your taste and texture but it still has to go on top of or beside a huge pile of something green.
    So as long as you look up different cooking / marinading methods for protein, you are set.

    Absolutely and spices are key for me! Anything from various vinegars/spices (I must have every one lol!)/salsas-kimchi-sauerkrauts,lemons/limes etc., etc., and then you can change a meal up

    I know that the ultimate protein fluff recipe has been posted a billion times, but I can’t pinpoint the right one when I’ve tried searching the thread. Would someone mind reposting it here? Thank you!!!

    Here’s what I do:
    Ice in food processor to cover blades, blend to snow

    Add dash liquid Splenda & vanilla extract

    Two Tablespoon protein powder (I use quest)

    4-6oz unsweet almond milk

    Run on high til in nearly pops the top off, scrape down sides periodically

    Once you get it down, there are a gazillion variations. I don’t use xantham at all. Don’t add anything with fat, or it won’t fluff.

    Does anyone have a food processor or blender that they recommend? It's so hard looking in stores and sifting through online reviews and knowing what is really good.

    I have the Ninja and it works awesome blending the ice into snow. Doesn't take long at all.
    ETA: Ninja Master Prep Professional.. it's a set of 3. Sold at Target for $50

    Thank you for the suggestions! I tried out a few different versions of the fluff and seemed to have the best results with a combination of Quest and xanthan gum. I’m really looking forward to getting a new blender because I had to use an ice shaver, my current completely non-powerful blender, and then an electric mixer with a whisk attachment to get it to fluff up.

    Yes, I tried out a few at first too and had the best end result with Quest and xanthan gum! A good blender makes a huge difference too!

    Cook your veggies in oil - problem solved.

    Or top them hummus or guacamole.

    Yes! I eat tons of fruit during the day. Turkey, chicken. Big meals at night (usually 800-1500 calories). Lots of items. I do a lot of cardio and strength workouts in the afternoon before dinner. I’m pretty active so I have to eat at various times when I get hungry. I’ve lost 57 pounds on here and 76 total since Jan 2017.

    Found a new low cal treat, especially for summer nights when it’s hot! I ordered sugar green snow cone syrup on amazon that’s basically zero cals and then made snow in my ninja blender!! Omg so good! Reminds me of when I was younger, I love snow cones lol.
