    Finally the thread I can really relate to!!! Lots of fruits and vegetables rocks! I’m 60 so my recommended calorie allowance for me is 1250 calories to maintain 130 lbs. I’m not 130 but that’s what I’m aiming for. To eat and not still be hungry I agree vegetables and fruit works.

    A local wine shop keeps frozen grapes on hand. They drop them into champagne or prosecco. Pretty tasty.

    I'm defiantly a volume eater. I was one before mfp & changed myself in the first year of mfp & spread out smaller servings all through the day, but I feel so much better having 2 large meals then snacks to fill in. My brunch is 45-600 cal but it includes my coffee creamer for the day, next main meal is about 500

    11.2 oz Sardines
    8.75 oz Spinach
    10.5 oz Celery
    21 oz Fresh Bananas
    3.5 oz Nutritional Yeast
    1.75 oz Grass-fed Butter
    1.75 oz Olive Oil
    Tablespoon Turmeric
    Teaspoon Black Pepper
    2 Tablespoons Potato Starch
    5 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar Organic
    And as much berries as I could get my hands on doesn't matter what type.

    All of this eaten over only 4-6 hours in an intermittent fasting diet.

    This list meets all of your dietary requirements of vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients... it's a heaven for those looking for optimal athletic performance, don't know if it works for women too, but it's effect on male hormonal levels makes it perfect for getting lean, at least that's what is happening with me.

    Note: spinach, celery, and banana, and olive oil are all thrown into a blender and made into a smoothie.

    Where is that falvoured ice cube and xanthan gum fluff recipe??

    Here's my version that I've posted before
    b1zzdaj8lu8p.jpg


    Vitamix or really good blender
    10-15 calories total

    1 Tbsp dark cocoa powder
    1/4 tsp. Xanthum gum
    1/4 tsp. Guar gum
    1/4 + C. Dark cold coffee
    Stevia or sweetner of choice
    Vanilla, etc.,
    Ice cubes

    Blender:
    put cocoa, stevia, etc., cold coffee and first handful of ice cubes.
    Blend well
    Keep adding a few ice cubes at a time until amount desired
    Add Xanthum and Guar gum when blended - blend that in

    Use straight away as a 'cream' ontop of things
    or
    I like to 'set' mine in freezer to get a more 'ice cream' version (1+ hours)

    Thats the one. Thanx!!!!
    I was going to make it last night, but then made the protein angel cake for this morning.

    Do you find that the mix would "fluff" up more in a food processor rather than Vitamix? I have both and read that food processor is better for this sort of a thing. But then again, vitamix will crush ice like its nothing in seconds.

    I only have a mini f.processor that most definitely wouldn't work...however a good one is certainly something to try. Let me know if it works better for you if you do. If so, I might be inclined to 'finally' get a good processor!
