    My volumized oatmeal...

    I love doing this trick. I use a small 100 calorie pack of oatmeal. Microwave first for one minute. This is how much it would be without the volumizing trick I do. This is a huge 6c soup bowl, way bigger than a standard sized bowl,

    Then I add lots of water. qqkkgww93kd4.jpeg
    Make sure you use a big enough bowl so it doesn’t explode. Microwave for 3 more minutes after completely cooled (I stick in freezer).

    Then add 1 teas xanthum gum, mix and put in the freezer again. I also add cinnamon, trivia and skinny mixes sugar free brown sugar cinnamon syrup.

    Let it thicken and BAM hugeeeee bow, of <120 calorie oatmeal! You can even make bigger by adding more and microwaving more lol.

    I have to agree that the Caulipower pizzas are very good. The Cali’flour lite crusts are my favorite though. 160 for the whole crust! It’s way thinner than the Caulipower crust, but it’s got a fantastic texture and flavor if you cook it just right. It’s just the crust and you add your own toppings. There is cheese in the crust, so I don’t even use any as a topping, This one is half roasted peppers/ crimini mushrooms and half maple (sf Walden Farms) roasted butternut squash.

    We love the Cali'flour crusts here!! And prefer them -- any flours or corn or grains or other ingredients of the sort do not agree with my body. So, the minimal ingredients in Cauli'flour are so admirable!! I only wish they were available here, in Maryland, in stores. We don't shop online often.

    Speaking of online shopping,
    Can anyone offer any recommendations for the best places to purchase in terms of quality and cost?

    Thank you xx

    When I’m at home I snack for breakfast and lunch but at tea time I have a very large dinner and usually I have enough calories left over for a dessert.
    Tonight we are on a light veggie packed chicken korma, raita(homemade) and homemade naan breads (x2 is 164 calories)
    And for dessert a whole tub of halo top icecream(who are these people that can only eat half the tub?)
    At work I try to eat little and often as I do super long shifts

    Maybe I am missing something but how is this volume?
    The mug is 6 cup, I see its at most 1/3 full so 2cup. Thats volume? Not too me.... but calories are low and gonna be a sweet gooie thing by the end so its all good :)

    Man... I miss @pinggolfer96 and his bath tub sized salads :)

    I looked at the Instragram page & some of the pictures that @pinggolfer96 posted on here didn't seem to be on Jordan Ver Hoeve's page. The only other thing I can think of is perhaps taking pictures from someone's stories & using it as your own?

    I am reading about volume eating and I read something that said volume eaters find satisfaction in larger quantities of food. This is exactly me. I'm writing some ideas down of things I can make at home that I can just happily munch on and also take to work the next day.

    Odd one. I cooked a carrot and sweet potato soup with coconut milk, ginger, lots of chilli peppers and cashew nuts yesterday with a white crusty roll. Then I realized that it's kind of lacking fat and protein. Then I ate it, enjoyed it, and felt very full at 550kcal. Had a second serving today, and the same happened again. Last portion will be tomorrow <3

    Have a look at the flat outs wraps as those are easy to find.

    Yes, I like the FlatOut wraps too. Thanks.

    Tumaros are the #1 lowest calorie for size wrap out there with the best flavors (everything bagel, pumpernickel, sourdough, rye) My absolute favorite!

    I forgot about these & just bought the Honey Wheat & White varieties. Today I used the white & put Freshy Pebbles cashew butter & a little bit of off brand Fruity Pebbles on.

    I think most of the spreads are around 170-180.

    Looks awesome! I need to start cooking with egg whites and protein powder more! I remember that other guy posted that GIGANTIC loaf for <500 calories too that I've been meaning to make.
