What kind of PP did you use? Was it whey or whey/casein blend? Plant based powders really don’t work well. And does your milk have fat (or did you add anything with fat, like peanut butter, nuts, etc)? Any fat will make it not fluff.
That.
Regarding PP kind, I found it does not really matter.
Hmmm.... okay, so I tried a different milk and a different protein powder, but I still got the same drippy, (almost gummy?) results. The picture shows what I used (plus ice), and it never grew in volume past what you see in the processor, which is pretty much what it looked like at the beginning. I even tried different speeds in case that might have something to do with it, but nothing changed. Anyone have any other suggestions/insights?
Out all of those things, I would suspect the sugar free syrup. Might be too thick for this. Not sure.
Try and follow this video.

Just saw this. I wonder if the amount of ice makes a big difference? I'm probably only using about half of what the video showed.
Well no *kitten* lol
You said you were following everything exact hahaha
If you are going to half the ice, half everything else, and dont expect to fill up that container.
Yeah, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed
I tried it with a whole tray of ice and it did fluff up more than the last trial, but it still wasn't as fluffy as expected. Looks like maybe I didn't crush the ice enough? It was pretty snowy but maybe I need to give it a bit more time. At least I'm on the right track... it definitely was better than the last time.
Glad you're getting closer! Still looks a bit watery though. Don't give up. You'll be so happy once you figure it out!1 -

The stomach doesn’t shrink unless gastric bypass is done. Receptors determine fullness (unless you eat too much) and getting used to smaller meals via routine is the reason for what you stated!
I am slightly confused. . . .I am sorry.
What exactly do you mean by "Receptors determin(ing) fullness (unless you eat too much)"? Are you saying that you can eat too much, exceeding calorie needs, and still not feel full, even when eating whole foods in large volume and quantities (bulk fruits and vegetables)? How easy or difficult would you say it is to exceed caloric needs when you're eating mostly fresh fruits and vegetables?
Thank you xx
Yeap. You can overeat on anything. Easy. How else do we get fat?
Can I call you the godfather of us volume eaters? Lol
Been called worse than that lol but this title should seriously go to @pinggolfer96 for sure.
Lol I am definitely a bottomless pit. I wish and would LOVE to try your meals out tho! They look so damn good3 -

Hi. New to this thread. Can someone explain to me what *kitten* means?1

The first post pretty much says it all...I have recently come to the conclusion that volume eating is best suited for me. Eating mainly vegetarian means I can eat copious amounts of food and stay in my calorie goal. Are there others out there who do the same? Let's exchange ideas. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast, large shake with 2 cups spinach, almond milk, protein powder ice and water. Plus a slice of flax bread with almond butter and a sliced zucinni.
Lunch - one bag steamed frozen broccoli, 2 diced peppers, sprinkle of nuts and raisins
Snack- Apple, orange and cantaloupe
Dinner- 2 large zuchinni, one large onion, two packages portobello mushrooms cooked in vegetable broth and 1tbs butter, edited to add 3oz tempeh
Dessert - one cup almond milk with 3 tbs chia seeds (chia pudding) and 1/2 scoop protein powder
This was a LOT of food and I was happily full (not overstuffed) at every meal.
I find eating this way keeps me from snacking -- or worse binging. I finally broke through a 6 month plateau.
But it does make eating out difficult unless you have a mini-meal before or after. Anyone have any thoughts on this eating style?

Hey raver. Have any good butternut squash recipes? I have recently fell in love with it. I actually use it to cut the cals in my mashed sweet potatoes.1

Here's a good recipe I've made before. If you don't have access to maftoul, couscous makes an ok substitute: http://mideats.com/recipe/curried-maftoul-salad-with-butternut-squash-salatat-maftoul/1

My chocolate pumpkin protein bread with a protein cream cheese frosting💪🏻 50+ grams of protein and less than 450 cals for the entire thing

Would you mind sharing the recipe?2

How many egg beaters or liquid egg whites do you all think is a reasonable amount for one day?
Are two cups of Egg Beaters (the equivalent of one WHOLE CARTON, 16 ounces total) too much?
That is on top of an entire package of "Better Than Rice" shirataki rice,
a can of diced tomatoes,
half of a green bell pepper,
half of a large red onion,
roasted laver (seaweed),
. . . .AND (I know, I really overdid it here. . . .😣)!!!!
several cups of watermelon and grapes. Needless to say, I feel tremendously stuffed. I'm fretting the effects all of that could have on fat loss.
Please be patient with me; I genuinely appreciate any advice and value your opinions.
Thank you to Any who make it through all of that reading, and to Any willing to respond.
God bless you All0 -

As many as you want as long as everything adds up in the end of the day towards your goals. There’s nothing wrong eating that many. And there’s also no food that causes fat loss or gain. Anything surpassing your tdee will cause fat gain and vice versa.2 -

I am just questioning the amount I am consuming -- especially since it is such a large quantity of food. Is it possible to still feel so "full", bloated even, without exceeding caloric needs and stalling fat loss?
More importantly,
Thank you so much for reading all of that. And thank you so much for responding. I know it really all comes down to individual differences, so my questions and concerns probably seem very irrelevant and unanswerable. But I always like to see what others' experiences and knowledge have to offer.

100 calories of broccoli is a lot more filling than one 100 calorie Oreo.....yet they’re both 100 calories, yes it’s possible to feel full and lose fat if you’re in a deficit. That’s not what determines fat loss. Cico does regardless of the food.3 -
@pinggolfer96 Have you posted that Chocolate Protein Bread recipe anywhere and, if not, would you mind sharing it?2
