Made protein fluff for the first time with:
30g protein whey
Tons of ice
Some water
.5 cup unsweetened almond milk vanilla flavored
2 tbsp chocolate Pb 2
I blended everything til creamy.
Wow this was a lot I only ate half. So filling. Thank you!
great! and if you add 1/4-1/2 tsp. Xanthum gum (to thicken it up) and freeze it a few hours, you'll end up with more ice cream-like product.
Oops forgot to mention I did add a pinch of It!
Add half xanthan and half guar gums. Creamy texture when frozen and defrosts amazingly too.
I also do just that...it is amazing and I'm so addicted1 -

I use guar gum in my "milk shakes" to me adds a nice thickness that kinda simulates the creamy feeling of a real milk shake.2 -
Well since I am giving advice hahaha ........
- dont line your pan with anything just grease it up
- dont mix in anything wet or heavy into the mix as it will not rise (better to add your trimmings after)
- dont be alarmed when your mix will deflate after cooling
Since you are giving advice
do you use a liquid measuring cup for the egg whites, or do you go by grams? 0 -
I wanted to share my new breakfast craze. It's a little different take on an egg salad. I take half the pita bread (70cals), toast it and separate the two layers on two pieces. I mush up the egg, add scallions or onions, dependent on what i have/ want, or both, lol. Add chopped up lettuce, seasonings to taste and Greek yogurt. Mix together, pile up egg mix on each slice of pita, and enjoy. I find it very filling and awesome. There's only half of it on the plate because i ate the other one already. Also, any herbs that you like go there nicely too, dill, cilantro, parsley.4 -

I've recently started volume eating and I'm ashamed to say, I almost judge those people who don't.
I follow Instagram accounts where I see people documenting themselves following a daily calorie allowance and this is what I see most days:
"Single piece of processed meat in a bread roll with cheese and mayo for dinner: 855 calories"
...

This was my big old roasted veggie bowl from last night. All good stuff on some baby kale and arugula, just lemon juice to season and the avo and goat cheese really brought it up. Came in around 300 cals for the bowl. Had some lentil soup with.
This looks goddam delicious - you're doing it so right.6 -
this little fried chicken sandwich truly made me feel full.

Isnt it weird that the bowl of fruit is waaaaaaaaaay more calories than the actual salad spread? And many here dont track fruit yet go nuts about potatoes and bacon
Salad.....30 calories for the two slices chicken bacon, 100 for a nice amount of purple sweet potato... 245 calories for a giant plate of delicious food... 40 for a nice sized side of cucumber... lots of volume for 285 calories
Fruit 215 calories for a good sized plate of amazing fruit... tons of variety
Both equally satisfying in different ways. I track every bit of fruits and vegetables because they are the majority of what I eat.

Thats what I guessed but I thought that the bacon is real stuff.
Also I did not mean that you dont track. Most people on here dont.
That chicken bacon tastes great and really crisps up. It’s definitely a great alternative to regular bacon. I’ve never found a turkey bacon that I like.
I want to try out your waffle recipe, but I don’t have coconut flour. I’m going to get some soon, but in the meantime can almond flour be used in the recipe, and if so, do the other ingredient amounts change?0 -

I use uncured turkey bacon. Crisp right up! Also tried shirataki noodles tonight. Actually very good for 40 cals for 8 oz.1 -

I don’t know what kind of sorcery is involved, but the taste and texture of this holds up to real bacon for me. It takes about 20-25 seconds in the microwave for two slices. I love bacon, especially the really good thick cut kind, so my standards are pretty high!4 -

Which is the chicken bacon that you use?
Honestly, no idea. Never tried. Try it, what you gonna lose? A bit of flour and some egg whites??
I’m just picturing batter stuck all over my waffle iron and the sad mess if it doesn’t work, but I’ll have to be brave and try it soon.0 -

Never had chicken bacon but only 30 calories for 2 slices of bacon? *heads to store*3 -
HUGE 4qt pot of "alfredo" chicken and broccoli pasta all to myself. 260 calories of thinslim foods noodles, 150 calories of cauliflower "sauce" (pureed cauliflower, 2tbsp sour cream, almond milk, cauliflower, onion powder, nosalt, stevia, garlic powder, italian seasoning, touch of balsamic), 50 calories of broccoli, 90 calorie grilled chicken breast = 550 calories
It was too big and I could only finish half of it though. The pot was FULL! These pics after I ate half lol.

Today's lunch before my wife went to work. Added on top some San-J Polynesian Spicy Sauce (my favorite gluten free brand of Asian sauces -- relatively clean ingredient list for a bottled Asian sauce and nearly all Organic).
Black Rice, Roasted Brussel Sprouts/Sweet Potatoes, Kale w/ just a bit of Sesame Oil and Sesame Seeds, Fresh Pineapple, Green Onion and some Sprouts. Oh, and some Xtra Firm tofu grilled a bit with some olive oil.

The base
then I add more stuff
My massive chicken salad. I took a photo before I add the top layer of lettuce and seasoning because other wise you can’t see what’s in it lol. I add the chicken and baked zucchini and then top with more lettuce and onion powder and mix. Delicious, huge, and filling for <200 calories. I like to make these on days I feel like volume eating but want to save my calories for something else. (Party tonight)
You can’t see everything that’s in it because it’s buried but zucchini, tomato, onion, banana peppers, cucumber, chicken, hot sauce, balsamic, onion powder, garlic powder, no salt salt, Italian seasoning, truvia, and mustard.6 -
I love high volume eating ! I usually have two huge sweet potatoes and vegan Greek yogurt for dinner 😄2

This fluff is from the other day. It was fluffier and creamier than it looks. I used vanilla quest and anise extract. Black licorice heaven! If you like good n plenty, black jelly beans, sambuca, or anything black licorice related, this definitely delivers tons of flavor.2
