I love to eat this way! I'm wating for the seasonal veggies and fruit to get here so I can buy lits, yum-o! Meanwhile am socking up on frozen veggies, fruits canned beans, tuna, canned salmon, looking for tasty dressings that are low cal.0
-
So I am completely plant based and have made lots of the protein recipes using pea protein. It works awesome! I tried with just cocoa powder for fluff and it was not good.... It was a jelly. Lol!
Has anyone used egg substitute? There is one called " Just Egg". I am going to try it on a few recipes
I've used most brands of egg substitutes (available in the US), including Just Egg. It's expensive enough that I would just use it as a substitute for scrambled egg, I wouldn't use it in baking (there are plenty of other less expensive substitutes that work well for baking).
Protein fluff requires the dairy ingredients to work -- plant-based protein powders won't cut it.1 -

I got the Explorian model - perfect size and I absolutely love the tamp 'thing' - works way better than the Ninja one I had (no tamp).
You and me both lol
Now enjoy. First time you make a smoothie with kale, and there is not a single piece of kale in your glass, it will be a revelation.
I love new toys!0 -

I love Bolthouse dressings, I eat huge salads and add double-servings, the calories for two servings are under 100. I also just bought stuff to make this recipe, poppyseed is my favorite and all the low cal ones are too sweet. It's whole-food plant-based so no oil.

Skinnygirl isn’t bad for dressing.0 -

I also love Walden farms balsamic and honey Dijon.
Panera brand poppyseed is only 15 per serving and delicious.

I use this high protein mayo as a base for low calorie salad dressing. Super easy to make a dressing flavored just the way the you like it. So far I have made chipotle and ranch dressings. Next up is some blue cheese or gorgonzola type dressing.

Anyone use glucomannan powder? I use it in my protein drinks. I like volume but mostly prefer thick and dense.0

Bumping post, anyone got any new ideas that are like cheesecake, peanut butter or cookie dough?

Volume is good. Make sure you're getting enough protein.2

I've read it helps maintain muscle mass while losing weight. Otherwise a body will pull from both fat and muscle reserves, which could include your heart (i mean it will pull from both regardless, but eating protein and strength training help prevent too much muscle loss). Im not talking crazy amounts of though. Just a basic amount at minimum. Good thing for anyone to keep in mind.5 -
I feel like I’m more likely to be low on fat when volume eating definitely not protein3

Each dinner was about 400 calories. Bone in center cut pork chop, my own brown sugar chili dry rub (keto friendly) and a low fat coleslaw.

This is my fairly high volume lunch. Could be more by increasing veggies and decreasing avocado etc.
200g pumpkin
150g capsicum
150g eggplant
50g red onion
50g cottage cheese
Can of tuna
40g avocado
20g relish
About 380-400 calories

Yes I love those too! And water chestnuts. Yum. Super duper low calorie also.2 -
I love this thread and thanks for a great reminder. I found that I love volume eating. I’m not vegan but a few years ago I added massive amounts of leafy greens while attempting to loose weight. I noticed that I lived for a full plate. It might be a metal trick I play by seeing that plate packed but it works. I have gotten away from that, as I don’t have access to the produce where I live now. I’m trying to learn to like the produce here more and add in this countries greens.
I would say I love cabbage and apple salads .so yummy. Sometimes I add chicken and a soft cheese sometimes I add nuts and grapes.
I also make green soup from kale, onions, Swiss chard. I makes eggs over any leftover veggie we have. Spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato, squash, Brussels sprouts, green beans, tomatoes and chickpeas. I also eat a ton of seaweed. It’s so good for you.
I going to try to make at least half my plate veggies! Also tofu where I live is the best I’ve ever had in my life so I’m enjoy that more often as a low calorie protein source.3 -

I am not even going to google what those look like, because once seen, nothing can be unseen.
yes...I think I'll stick to this pic...otherwise eating lentils or the like might be forever corrupted. btw - yumm0 -

My dinner tonight. All vegan, tofu and salad. My wife is referring to this salad tub as "the one that her mom made salad for their family of 4", haha. It has been my individual salad tub for years now, i almost never share. Only when my kids come visit, my daughter joins me for some of it.
