Lunch: not too exciting like a lot of the entries on here, but half a cucumber goes a long way toward being filling. A big plate full o' food for 231 calories. Not too bad.

This is my problem exactly! I come from a family of cooks, I was raised w/everything cooked with flavor, spices, herbs, etc (lots/most from scratch) Not that is was healthy, lots of home *country* cooking

But, My husband came from a boxed dinner family. So he HATES real food and flavors. It makes it SO difficult to make good things!! And he craves salt like NO Tomorrow!

I actually prefer things bland or spiced w/o salt, but he can't let it go.

Any suggestions? (We both have weight we need to loose)


And I'm sure several of you on here are PROFESSIONAL CHEFS, some of the dishes look amazing!!! =D

A great salt-free seasoning, that even the biggest salt lovers in my family have been fooled by is Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute. It's really tasty, and VERY flavorful.

Here's today's breakfast: Protein Pancakes - approx 300 calories (41g carbs/24g prot/4 g fat):

Would you mind sharing your recipe for protein pancakes?

Sure thing! This makes one serving:

3 Egg Whites
1/2 cup oats (uncooked)
1/4 cup cottage cheese
vanilla and cinnamon to taste
1/8 tsp of baking powder

Combine it all in a blender and cook/top as you would regular pancakes. I usually add about 3/8 cup of oats at first and blend. Then, depending on the consistency, I'll add the other 1/8 cup if needed.

My calorie count included the strawberries. Also, to bump the protein a little more, you could add 1/2 scoop protein powder instead of the extra oats, but then there's always the issue of heating protein powder. The macros are close enough to 40/40/20 for me.

Enjoy!
