What do your meals look like? (Let me see pics)

I might try these tomorrow, my only worry is jamming up the blender. How high of a setting do you blend
with? What is the consistency before cooking? Thanks for the help!

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!

Great topic! Now I'm hungry again!LOL.

Lunch - Turkey Sandwich, veggie flax chips, and half of a Pink lady apple 320 Calories


Dinner - Lemon Pepper Grilled Tilapia, Garlic and Mushroom Brown Rice, Grilled Pineapple, and Mel's fruity salad (spinach, romaine, mandarin oranges and raspberries using some of the light syrup from the oranges as dressing) 260 Calories

This both look so pretty and yummy!

My weakness is Cheese!!! I just made a leftover wrap for me and my daughter, and my meal was 375.. I normally try to keep my lunch around 350 before my drink, so today I had a sweet tea with splenda (not my fav). dang cheese!!! Will post some pics after dinner...still trying to figure out what to make

Thanks the fish kinda stuck to the grill, and I was just craving grilled pineapple so that was a last min add I love grilled food in the summer

Protein Pancakes:
Thanks for the help with the recipe. I made them this morning and, being new to the protein pancake scene, didn't know what to expect. The first one came out super thin and flat (for some reason this always happens when I make pancakes) - the second was thicker and fluffier looking.

Taste: interesting! Definitely an "eggy" taste. Is this how it's supposed to turn out? I didn't mind it but was surprised. Texture was sort of spongy, again, with an "eggy" feel. Topped with raspberries, but if I make in the future, will be on the lookout for a low calorie pancake syrup... (or I guess I could try some sugar free fruit preserves. ) I believe it WILL keep me full this morning, which is why I tried them.... needed something hearty to tide me over until lunch today.

I could see these becoming a substitution for regular pancakes now that I know what to expect. I LOVE pancakes but don't feel too great after eating them... shouldn't be a problem with these.

Thanks again for the intro!

BUMP YUM!

Last night I combined 1.5 cups of cottage cheese with 1 pkg of sf/ff cheesecake pudding mix in the blender (I'm not a huge fan of non-foods, but a little isn't going to kill me). I thinned it out with a bit of almond milk and let it set overnight. I used a couple TBS to top my pancakes this morning:

Going to try that I love my cottage cheese so I'd probably just eat the pudding hehe.

It's awesome as a fruit dip too!

Leftover Wrap with ranch rice cake chips...(the "meat" was 1/2 of a morning star tomato & basil burger cut in slices and the mushroom rice from yesterday) 375 Calories


Steak Salad with Parmesan cheese, Roasted corn and green beans, and Mashed sweet potatoes (I know another salad I just love them) 390 Calories

had a pic of a pineapple blueberry smoothie, but couldn't figure out how to post it. but that food looks yummy, it is making me hungry!

This food looks so ridiculously yummy! For a leftover wrap - I'm surprised . Doesn't look like sloppy seconds at all.

I am in love with the cottage cheese / pudding idea. I knew almond milk and pudding alone won't set but the cc makes it work? Wow! So good to know! Can't wait to try it with my next batch of "pancakes".

And as for pics of soup.... Maybe pics of the ingredients gathered on the counter, and a pic of the finished product would be nice. Good luck on vacation - have a blast!

Lunch today: salade landaise (I could eat it every day! love it!)

Lettuce - cherry tomatoes - green beans - steamed potatoes - sliced duck breast - 354 calories



hope the pic appears!

OMG I love this. No sliced duck breast in the US though...or it's super expensive...

378cals for this plate of thai green prawn curry - well, my version of it, I made it up as I went along. I had no coconut milk but I did have coconut pieces so I blended them with some water. Worked quite well it didn't obliterate it so there were still bits of coconut in it which was yummy. Had green and orange bell pepper, broccoli, prawns, 2 chillies, knob of ginger, 3 garlic , ground coriander and ground cumin. With giant cous cous, cooked with a chicken oxo cube for a bit of flavour. I've never used this stuff before and think I toasted it a bit much before boiling but it was still super tasty, defo having it again. It would make a lovely salad with eggs. It was delicious. I'm STUFFED!
