I mean, it was okay. It just wasn't worth the trouble of making it again.
I will whip this up tonight. I will report back for share my findings. I am not expecting this to be the real thing at all, I mean its not a "cake", but I do expect it to at least look like a cake, have a cake consistency and taste good. The last bit very very important to me.
Otherwise I am back to making weekly cheesecake and donuts.
Yes let us know how it is compared to your cheesecake! Wondering which one i should try first!
I forgot I ran out of cream of tartar and did not want to do any subs so I will make it tonight.
Also its not about comparing and whats better. I make a lot of things that are good and will continue to do so. But for me to make something over and over, it has to be taste good and have the "proper" calories.
So I made this. Real angel cake this is definitely not. But a what it is is a very very good protein cake. This what I did.
Measured out 7 egg whites from the carton and left it out on the kitchen counter for couple hours as I prepper dinner.
After dinner, placed the egg whites in my stand mixer.
Added 1 tsp cream of tartar.
Added small pocket of french vanilla splenda.
Added 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Let her whip until stiff peaks (took about 5 minutes on high).
Folded in a scoop of Canada Protein cookies and cream, casein powder.
Spread into an 8x8 baking tray and into the over at 350F for 20 minutes.
Let it cool.
Topped with whipped cream, berries and Walden Farms pancake syrup.
Great late night snack while watching the walking dead
Mine did not come up very high, might be the pan I used was too big. But I wanted it this way, for a future recipe I will be sharing here that will blow your minds hahaha
Again, real angel food cake this is NOT.
A delicious protein fluffy cake, YES!!!!
Hmmm so carton egg whites do work?! How many grams of carton egg whites equals 7 shelled egg whites?
My carton says that 46g is 1 egg..so 322g for 7 eggs.
46 grams is one whole egg. 1 large egg is around 50 grams. 1 whole egg is equal to 2 egg whites. when I measure out 7 whites, I get around 220 ish grams. 322 is too much.0 -
nevermind XD0

I know that's what the carton says, but that's not what eggs measure.
Large whole eggs measure, on average, around 50 grams. If you crack a 50 gram egg and separate out the white, you get something like 30 grams for the white.0 -
Just finished half the protein angel food cake, super yummy! I only ate half and put warm blueberries on top. Gonna have the other half after I lift tommorow! Thanks for the link to the recipe 1
-
Well, I'm eating the protein angel food cake now.
I will say it's better with the full scoop of protein powder than the half scoop.
Saying that, I still can't get past the feeling that I'm eating a sweet, puffy omelet.
It's tasty, but there's just something off about it to me. I think it's just not quite the right meeting of taste and texture for my particular tastes.2 -
Right I am definitely going to try this volume eating thing! I like to graze pretty much constantly while I'm at work and in the evening and can end up eating junk. But I love veggies so that plus the fact I like eating A LOT means I really think this could work for me. Going to come back on here once I've done a day to check in! X1
-
After 4 more failed attempts, I’m throwing in the towel on the angel food cake. So now eating cream fluff, in a hat and mittens, in front of a fire under a blanket that just came out of the dryer.
It’s not volume per se, but another idea for a little something sweet. A London Fog. Steeped earl gray tea with vanilla sweet drops (or a vanilla syrup) with a splash of unsweet vanilla almond milk. Delish.4 -

Large whole eggs measure, on average, around 50 grams. If you crack a 50 gram egg and separate out the white, you get something like 30 grams for the white.
USDA estimates the white from 1 large egg as 33 g, so pretty similar to your measure.
I'd use around 30 g as an easy estimate.1 -
Just discovered this thread. I generally eat two meals a day. Usually a big bowl of greens and some protein is part of the mix - some days twice.
Will go back and read all the posts for more ideas. Thanks for starting this discussion, @nowine4me0 -

My late mother in law was famous for eating ice cream just like that... all bundled in front of a fire! She was thin all her life because she knew how to moderate food, but she always saved room for ice cream, even though it made her freeze.
I've just been eating yogurt and berries for dessert. It's not as high volume as the protein ice cream, but it's volume enough and it's not quite as cold. I'm having it with a cup of my brewing chocolate, and it makes for a satisfying close to the day.2 -
I am also a huge volume eater.
I tend to eat a good amount of chicken, eggs with egg whites, and fish:
My big *kitten* salad: 2-3 cups spinach, 90g of corn (1 serving), 120g of black beans (1 serving), 1 Roma tomato, 1/4 cup cheese (optional), 4-6 tbsp of salsa, 1/4 cup of jasmine rice, 75-100g of avocado, 2 tbsp of Hidden valley avocado ranch; optional meat: tuna fish, white fish, chicken.
I make a egg wrap out of eggs (no tortilla): 1 egg, 138g of egg whites, 1oz of milk. Add 1/2 tbsp of butter in pan, poor in mixture and cover. And flip once bottom is cooked. Fill wrap with cook veggies (onions and peppers are my favorite), add in 1.5-3 oz of ham or canadian bacon, 28g of shredded cheese, and top with salsa; optional - top with 75-100g of avocado.
I tend to get a lot of protein recipes from www.theprotienchef.co . I found a good amount of lower calorie, protein based recipes from there.
Thanks for sharing this! I love the egg wrap idea!0 -
Oh, I found my home! I am such a volume eater - recently learned the term and was instantly like "yup! That's me!" I have a few interesting recipes to add to the mix:
Cauliflower oatmeal: 18 oz cauliflower, 10 oz banana - add both to food processor and pulse til you reach preferred consistency. Transfer to a pot and add 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup and spices to preference (I do cinnamon and sometimes nutmeg). Bring to boil then reduce to simmer, stir and cover. After about 10 minutes, I add 6 oz diced apples and simmer for an additional 10 min. Makes 3 servings of about 16 oz each - like 160 cal per serving.
Veggie and egg hash: shred 3.5 oz sweet potato and 3.5 oz zucchini, add sweet potato to a wok with some Pam spray - sautée til almost cooked then add zucchini. Cook another couple min, then make two holes in the veggies and add a couple eggs (or egg white for lower calorie option). Cover, lower heat and cook for 4 min or until eggs are set. Huge portion of food for approx 225 cal or less. Makes 1 serving.
Would love to see additional recipes!
Will try the veggie and egg hash tomorrow! Thanks for the ideas1 -
@vegmebuff - nope. Raw cauliflower into the food processor. I personally found I liked the consistency better when I riced the cauliflower first, then added the banana to blend further.
Hope you like it as much as I do!0 -

I just got a huge head of the stuff yesterday...I guess I'll be needing some bananas though (only have frozen berries right now)
Thanks! I just love 'crazy' recipes like this 2 -

OK. I have searched. What are you guys talking about??

I think they're talking about cauliflower "oatmeal" (seen it in another thread). I love crazy combos as well, but I have a strong aversion to things I'm used to eating savory tasting sweet, so this is one I don't think I will try. Can't even fathom the idea of sweetened Greek yogurt, for example, despite of its popularity, and dried fruits in some savory dishes appear to elevate them, just not for me. It's a shame because other than that I'm willing to try anything.0 -
I like fruit in savory stuff, so although I would not add the other sweeteners I'd try cauliflower oatmeal (maybe as a half addition to oats).0

And this shredded, boiled and simmered cauliflower does not turn into a complete mush in the end? All I am seeing is sweet mushed cauliflower with chunks of apple mixed in.
You could microwave it and then mix in the rest of the ingredients. When I made cauliflower rice (which I no longer do because it's a hassle) I just microwaved the grated cauliflower uncovered and it came out in individual "rice grains" not mushy at all. Not sure how it would behave with milk added in, wonder if it would absorb it and turn mushy anyway.0 -

Posted this already few times but... Buy lots of cauliflower when in season. Process in food processor by pulsing to get the crumbs. Portion and freeze. When you feel like cheating on rice, take out place in a nonstick pan and heat up. The liquid will evaporate and you will be left with so called rice. Spice up to your liking. I like to mix in shredded coconut to make coconut rice that I have with Thai red coconut curries.
Thank you.

FYI for those 0f you who like to make the angel food cakes, they had lots of cream of tartar at my Aldi. It seemed like it was hard to find for some of you.1

Just discovered this thread! yay me! I like to eat a large quantity for my midday meal. I enjoy bringing a huge salad with lots of stuff in it to work. Today's is a can of rotel, tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, shredded carrots, shredded cabbage/broccoli slaw, topped with a can of chicken, chickpeas, and a few walnuts. I love the recipes on here and hope to get myself a food processor. I am wanting to try the cauliflower as rice and in with my oats.3

I think this is the thread I need. I posted this on the Getting Started thread (because I’m just getting started!) and was told to check out volume eating;
“If I eat three meals of 500 calories a day, which would make me lose weight, but then eat two or three pounds of celery will that change the amount of weight I would otherwise lose? I ask because before I decided to care about my body (a month ago) I would be munching on stuff almost all the time. Even if I was not hungry, even when I was full I would munch and munch on chips, peanuts, snack cakes and whatnot. I could never eat just half a bag of tortilla chips. I made a point to finish the bag (because another cat might snatch it if it’s not in your stomach right?). So, I still want to munch all the time. I tried gum, but that doesn’t do it for me. I have been munching on celery a lot recently, and cucumbers. I avoid eating this stuff with any salad dressing or anything at least. Cabbage next maybe? I considered pickles but there is to much sodium for my high blood pressure to deal with I reckon. Yea, it’s called “Binge Eating Disorder” right? So, all else equal is munching on bunches and bunches of celery really gunna make me fatter? If not are there any other foods in this category?”4 -
You have to weigh the celery or cucumber and see how many calories you are adding to your 1500 to see if it puts you over your deficit.6
-
It's like 16 cal for 2 medium stalks, but it sounds like it will add up. It's low in calories but high in water and fiber.
Be ready to become very... um... regular
Not a bad thing in itself, but you may want to ramp up slowly.
My favorite low calorie/high volume vegetable is the zucchini. I like to steam it lightly and add eggs for a warm filling meal.2
