    How about brownie batter? Mix your chocolate protein powder with almondmilk and add some jello. It’s heavenly.

    This guy on You Tube actually made a Protein Powder Jello bowl...haven't tried this one though. 🤷‍♀️

    Volume is good. Make sure you're getting enough protein.

    I feel like I’m more likely to be low on fat when volume eating definitely not protein

    Each dinner was about 400 calories. Bone in center cut pork chop, my own brown sugar chili dry rub (keto friendly) and a low fat coleslaw.

    I think you missed the "volume" part of this thread :)

    I did not.

    This is my fairly high volume lunch. Could be more by increasing veggies and decreasing avocado etc.

    200g pumpkin
    150g capsicum
    150g eggplant
    50g red onion
    50g cottage cheese
    Can of tuna
    40g avocado
    20g relish

    About 380-400 calories

    I love this thread and thanks for a great reminder. I found that I love volume eating. I’m not vegan but a few years ago I added massive amounts of leafy greens while attempting to loose weight. I noticed that I lived for a full plate. It might be a metal trick I play by seeing that plate packed but it works. I have gotten away from that, as I don’t have access to the produce where I live now. I’m trying to learn to like the produce here more and add in this countries greens.
    I would say I love cabbage and apple salads .so yummy. Sometimes I add chicken and a soft cheese sometimes I add nuts and grapes.
    I also make green soup from kale, onions, Swiss chard. I makes eggs over any leftover veggie we have. Spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato, squash, Brussels sprouts, green beans, tomatoes and chickpeas. I also eat a ton of seaweed. It’s so good for you.
    I going to try to make at least half my plate veggies! Also tofu where I live is the best I’ve ever had in my life so I’m enjoy that more often as a low calorie protein source.

    I am not even going to google what those look like, because once seen, nothing can be unseen.

    yes...I think I'll stick to this pic...otherwise eating lentils or the like might be forever corrupted. btw - yumm
