    One of my favorite low cal high volume meals. Turkey, Italian seasoning, lettuce tomato onion pickles spicy mustard on cracked pepper with pan cooked zucchini 😊. I like my huge wraps. Whole meal 220 calories. At that amount you can eat two if you are even more of a volume eater lol. tv1odom9kr0d.jpeg

    One of my favorite wraps. Tons of fresh strawberries on 80 calorie sourdough wrap. Topped with lots of trivia and dark chocolate pb2. I add extra water to make a thinner consistency so that it can be drizzled on. Delicious and huge. Photo of my hand for size comparison. This is part of my night snack in addition to my three (3c each) bowls of pudding most nights. f67sbma649c4.jpeg

    @Noreenmarie1234 that looks delicious! What wrap brand is 80 cals? The drizzle is just runny PB2? I’ve never tried the chocolate flavor.

    My husband is going on business travel this week, and I'm super excited to make a huge sheet pan of roasted Brussel sprouts! He hates the smell. I'll be wallowing in those come Tuesday with sweet potato toast and runny eggs.

    Sweet potato toast recipe please:)

    I like to volume eat in the evening, dinner is my favorite meal and I often don't want the meal to end. I try to eat lots of veg with supper and a good filling meat. Vegetables with shrimp or salmon is nice :) Or if I feel snackish, turkey slices with pickles wrapped in em

    My favorite meal is salmon with half a plate of veggies. Easy, fast, and tastes amazing every time!

    HAHA, that is my kind of meal! My family always joke when I am cooking myself a meal "wow thanks for making enough for all of us". :D

    Is that rice in the back or cauliflower "rice"?

    Better than rice konjac rice with some saffron mixed in. In the yellow curry 200g pollock and veggies.

    Konjac (or shirataki) is a staple for me.
    I wish it weren't so costly, though. May I ask where you purchase yours?
    Any advice for the most frugal?

    I get that...love the Better Than Rice product...although the only one I've come across is at my local natural food store @ $5/bag. I don't purchase too often because of that.

    I am on Canada and we pay $3.99 a package for rice. Noodles are much cheaper at Asian shops for $1.50 a box.

    California, and a crazy expensive area because SF proximity.
    Asian stores for the WIN- $1-ish at Ranch99.

    @tthickens637 to make sweet potato toast cut a sweet potato into 1/4 inch slices, pop in toaster and toast like you would bread. Super easy and yum 😊

    Ranch 99 has lots of great produce and all sorts of other things at super low prices compared to other stores in CA. My favorite things to get there are Chinese eggplant, Bok choy (they have all sorts of varieties I’ve never seen before), snap peas, cabbage, Persian cucumbers, Chinese long beans,etc. I also get rice wine vinegar and things like that for great prices. It’s a volume eater’s (and someone that likes to experiment with exotic produce and ingredients) paradise!
    I also find lots of treasures at roadside farm stands and farmers markets.

    and just over 1600cal

    Oh my! :o If volume eating was about the volume of calories in one meal, you would be winning!

    Not gonna lie, I had problems finishing this gochujang young jackfruit with peas, butternut squash on konjaku noodles. All of this here for 300cal dinner. I am stuffed. Very very stuffed.

    @just_Tomek I have a can of jackfruit I’m scared of. Any prep advice?
