Because some of us can't eat 500 calories per meal. Just sayin'.
Yup, I do know that . I just prefer to keep my meals slightly lower fat and cal than traditional mac n cheese. And to have a bit of variety. And honestly, it's working just fine for me. I've lost 15 lbs in just under 3 months and couldn't be happier with the way I'm doing it and my progress. My diaries open (though don't judge by yesterday, I was rather depressed due to it being my dad's first birthday since he passed away and had a hard time eating), so you can see that I don't restrict myself. I just like to keep things on the smaller side. Thanks for your concern.0 -
This was only 1500 cals
Jeezus this^ It's the most appropriate response to that sandwich0 -

^Agreed. My meals aren't evenly portioned. My diary is broken up into 6 meal sections and they vary a lot. I've had days where one meal is 1000cals and the rest ranging between 100-300.
Basically, you could have a smaller portion or just make it work for that day.0 -
I'm lazy, if I want mac and cheese I use macaroni, tostitos cheese sauce for nachos and mix. Make as little or as much as you want. I know not the gourmet recipe but it works....
This made me die a little inside.....
However, now I'm jonesing for tortilla chips and cheese sauce.....0 -
How bout if oyu don't like the idea don't eat it. No need to bash me. I was just offering a simple solution to a problem some may be struggling with.
what problem are you solving?
one serving of mac and cheese is 150 calories….you concoction is 75…I would rather eat the real thing and find 75 calories in my day for the full serving of the real thing...
150 calories?!?! You're doing it wrong too. My daughter wanted macaroni and cheese Monday night for her birthday. Mine is 500 orgasmic calories per serving. And I'd just stay fat if I had to trade it for this cheese sprinkled tofu abomination
i just looked it up and that is what the box says….
Mine doesn't come from a box.
Mac & cheese snob.
<or>
That's macaroni & cheesist!
Check your privilege.
This just made me snort water, thank God I missed the keyboard. I've already destroyed a 10-key with water snorting this week.
Call me a macaroni & cheesist too b/c mine is from scratch with a lovely creamy bechamel filled with extra sharp cheddar and mozzarella. Top it off with crushed ritz and it is heaven in a bowl. Had some just the other night but made it better with spicy italian sausage. Mmmmmm, damn now I want some.0 -
1 pkg House food tofu shirataki noodles (macaroni shaped) (40cal)
2 Tbsp Kraft grated cheddar cheese (looks like Parmesan but is cheddar) (35 cal)
Rince noodles and then pan fry in a bit of water, after a few minutes add the cheese and let simmer until not watery anymore. Add pepper to taste.
I experimented with this today and it was actually pretty good! Not as good as real mac and cheese of course but great if you need something low in calories and takes less than 10min. You could even adjust the amount of cheese to suit you.
Those noodles are gross and rubbery. Tried them last night. Never again.0 -

Nope not the same as the Real deal. Have made that many times and absolutely love it, but if I'm in a time crunch this work.... Don't die until you try it. My husband puts crumbled bacon in it. I know not the same..0 -
kraft wins my heart over everytime nothing beats my little blue boxes of artificial goodness sorry :brokenheart:0

That is sinful. That's what that is.
But somehow still has me drooling like Pavlov's dogs. Darn you.0
