    Super quick and filling supper tonight. 100g black beans, 100g frozen corn, 1/2 can HOT Ro-Tel over a bag of broccoli florets. You carnivores could add skirt steak, grilled chicken or shrimp. It was really good and took about 7 minutes to toss together. Following with vanilla chia pudding.

    @nowine4me do you happen to know the calorie count for this off the top of your head? I have all of those ingredients, and literally nothing else at my house and I might avoid going to the store one more day :D

    SWAG guess 325 (100 each corn, beans, broccoli), 25 for 1/2 Cup rotel.

    Haven’t been too creative lately, but this was a good one. Super filling. Diced sweet potatoes, diced tempeh, sliced Brussel sprouts, chopped kale and black beans. Stirred in some Dijon mustard at the end. Delish. Next time I’ll add some onion.

    That looks so delicious!!

    I’m vegan and eat mostly carbs! Just started MFP! I lost close to 40 lbs since October 1st when I went from a vegetarian diet to vegan! I eat close to 3 thousand calories a day and still lost weight by keeping my fat below 20 percent of my calories!

    :D

    Do you weigh your food on a food scale? If not then you may not be eating 3,000 calories & eating way less than you think. Most people tend to think they're eating less than they burn & gain weight, but the reverse can also happen.

    Plus it's calories in/calories out that result in weight loss.

    I used to drink lots ! Lots of jack and coke and lots of beer! So I quit that and quit the fast food! Started going plant base and kept my fat under 20 grams a day ! Started eating lots of rice, beans, potatoes, like a starch base whole food vegan diet! Didn’t really keep exact track of my calories and dropped forty lbs! So I just started to track my foods on MFP and now I’ll have a better idea on if it’s the food or the quitting alcohol! I’m just trying now to maintain my weight! I’ll have a better idea in a month!!

    Last night this protein angel food cake happened because my box of egg whites was about to expire.

    8 egg whites or 1 cup
    15g protein powder or half scoop
    1tsp cream of tartar
    1tsp vanilla extract

    Beat all but protein powder until peaks form.
    Fold in protein powder
    Bake at 350F for 20 min.

    Had half this morning with fruit and coffee for breakfast topped with Walden farms syrup.

    good to know your boxed whites worked i hear they dont
