I made this soup at the weekend and had some for my FD dinner last night. It was delicious and very filling - just what you need on a FD! I only had half a portion and that was plenty, so about 110 cals (the recipe says its 219 cals per full portion, MFP calculated it at about 235 using the recipe import tool). I have another portion in the fridge for my 2nd FD this week either lunch or dinner and two more in the freezer for next week

Here's a nice dessert for FD:
Simple custard
1 C skim milk
1/3 C egg substitute (or one whole egg)
A drop or two of vanilla
1 packet stevia
Stir well and pour into two ramekins. Place in a pan of water just below custard level. Optional: sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. Bake for about 40-55 min. at 325 degrees F (until custard is set) Makes two servings. Eat one hot, cover and refrigerate the other. 56 cal, 9.2 carb, 6.7 protein0 -

In case anyone is interested in a high protein / low carb bread. Just made this. It's not half bad ;-)
Almond and Seed Bread (750g)
6 large Eggs (separate yolks and egg whites)
250g low fat quark (I used Skyr, Icelandic milk product with high protein / low fat)
1 tsp salt (I will reduce this next time, too salty for me)
70g ground almonds
30g sesame seeds
50g linseed cut
5g whole linseeds ( I replaced these with 15g chia seeds + 15g hemp seeds)
30g Oat bran
20g wheat flour
15g baking powder
1 tsp coconut- or olive oil (to grease pan)
Preheat oven to 340 °F
Grease a 9-10inch long bread pan
Mix egg yolks and quark with a hand mixer until smooth
Mix all dry ingredients and then add them to the egg yolk/quark. Mix well and let it sit for 10min.
Beat egg whites until very stiff. Fold into the rest of the mixture.
Bake for 70-80min. Let it cool in the pan for 10min before removing it.
100g baked bread contain (my version)
260 cals / 17g Protein / 18g Fat / 7g Carbohydrate / 6g Fiber / 1g Sugar

@Flumi. Ty for sharing that, was gonna ask you yday, but forgot. We're tweenies in so many ways it's ridiculous!0
-
You're welcome Foami. And I've been noticing that too0
-
Oh and it tastes good toasted a bit.0
-
@Flumi. Do you think it's possible to replace the white flour with almond- or coconut flour? Dang, I can't have Oat bran. Puts me into instant carb crash, fall asleep within 15 mins. I'll try to find some other non-soluble fiber to substitute it.0
