I recently found these at my Fortino's (Ontario, Canada) and they are ah-mazing for a high volume meal. The entire bag is only 80 calories and fills a massive dinner plate. I topped it with a serving of some sweet potato chickpea curry I made and it was a huge dinner for only 356 calories.

I'd never even heard of this vegetable before. It doesn't really taste like much so it's a great base for sauces or curry or whatever (IMO).

I'd never thought of spiralizing kohrabi. I've heard of it and eaten it before. That's a great idea.

Now that I see you too are using Psyllium Husks...what's your thoughts? Better/same than Xanthum Gum?

Only used it here, because he used in his recipe. It adds lots of fiber as I see it. I did not get the bloat I usually get from xanthum gum so that might be the real difference.

good to know! I sure have to be careful w/ Xanthum (bloat!)

I sure hope green beans are good for me. I had them for lunch the last 5 days in a row. 3 pounds a day, 15lb total

Kohlrabi noodles are great because they dont go soft like zucchini. The only difference is that zucchini i pretty bland so good with everything whereas kohlrabi has a taste so its good with stronger foods.

The kohlrabi noodles are delicious with a peanut sauce, so maybe chicken sauté for you carnivores, or spicy tempeh nuggets.

Instead of cleaning your plate, you eat it!?!?🤣

Hello!! I am back with my questions, yet again. I hope I am not driving you all bonkers. Thank you for always being so kind and nonjudgmental with your responses. You all are amazing!! I am so grateful for this community.

Any-poot,

I use a lot - and I mean A LOT of hot sauce, spices, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos Acids as flavorings to the majority of my diet (with the exception of fruit). I also drink pickle juice.

Granted the amounts in which I consume these items, should I be concerned about them adding calories? The nutrition labels on these list them as noncaloric (0 calories) per serving size, but those serving sizes are "1 teaspoon" or less. I definitely have well over that amount. I am wary about the calories that might be "hiding" in those increased portions.

Can anyone offer their knowledge or advice?

Thank you, again. May God continue to bless you

Condiments I live off of when cutting weight:



High volume carbs: puffed rice mixed with greek yogurt

(entire bag is only 600kcals, really high volume in combo with greek yogurt ~500kcal/1kg...gluten free too...><)

Same about the mustard as you can see by my recent target order.



Plus these

And walden farms SF syrup, hot sauce, regular mustard, truvia, cinnamon, garlic powder, italian seasoning, onion powder, and nosalt salt.

Anyone ever try making peanut butter cookies with powdered peanut butter, egg whites and mix ins? They came out great!

Just mixed egg whites with powdered peanut butter, and that’s it! It is kind of like the classic 1 egg, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup peanut butter peanut butter cookie recipe without the sugar and calories.

Thanks...they look great - I'll try this for sure!

It was pretty good, but not as dense as regular peanut butter cookies. They were more cake like than dense without the oil. Since I added chocolate chips, they melted and gave those ones a heavier consistency and cookie like texture.

I am thinking of adding 1(or so) tbsp. of cocoa powder to the 'batter' - at 10 cal's/tbsp (Hersey's Dark Cocoa Powder) - that should help with consistency perhaps.

You could add 4 cal per teaspoon to be safe.

I think I'm going to give this a try... so you use no sweetener (sans the chocolate chips)? Does the peanut powder you use have added sugar (I think PB2 has a little)? I guess I could add a dew drops of sucralose.

Per cookie...
Mix around 1tbsp PB Powder with 3-4 teaspoons of liquid egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Spray a piece of foil and bake for around 8-10 mins at 350 or until center is not gooey.

I add chocolate chips sometimes or sprinkles.

Yes I use PB2, so I would think with plain powder you may have to add sweetener.

I recently got some powdered pb samples and they came with a similar recipe to make a mug cake. (without egg whites) I made a mini cake with it but I want to try making into a cookie. Was the texture more like a cake than cookie with the egg whites? I added xanthum gum to my "cake" so I wonder if that would help volumize this recipe too. I wonder if i baked instead of microwaved they would have came out like a cookie.


It actually looks almost exactly like yours! Did you use flavored pbco?! I was wondering if you could use regular pb powder, so now that I know it works I can experiment to perfect the recipe and maximize calories:volume lol.
