I just read this Precision Nutrition article, which I found interesting, and I was wondering if any of you have weighed everything you eat in a day. https://www.precisionnutrition.com/what-are-your-4-lbs
Do you eat about 4 pounds in a day? Have you calculated the overall energy density of your diet. Do you use energy density as a guide in picking out foods?
I weigh all my food but never calculated a 5otal weight.0 -
I tried making the hamburger bun donuts from Greg doucette and am obsessed! (
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JR5Y5XEDgIw )
(this is jelly filled ones, haven’t tried making this version yet)
You use SF jello as the inside. One whole donut is about 130 calories because I used 50 cal buns and huge! Same size as a regular boston creme donut. I brushed the outside of the bun with a mix of water, brown sugar truvia, and confectioners style truvia. I am going to try and experiment with different toppings like walden farms marshmallow or protein icing, etc. So many possibilities.
The SF vanilla jello really tastes exactly like the filling in Boston creme in taste and texture. I am going to try other varieties with maybe mixing in some powdered pb or using butterscotch, chocolate, or white chocolate SF jello instead.
You just put the pudding inside the bun and then inch the edges so it stays together, brush with mixture and bake.

@Noreenmarie1234 do you have a screenshot or list of the amounts for each ingredient? Or even a written version of the recipes? I watched most of the video, but I didn't see the amounts. I'm really interested in trying these. Thanks!!0

Here is for the jelly donuts... these are the original recipes. I made them a little differently without using egg whites/protein powder brushing but I bet if you have some awesome flavored protein powders it would make them even better.
Recipe: (makes 6)
-Set oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
-In one bowl, combine 8G protein powder and 80G egg whites. Whisk.
-In another bowl, combine 1 scoop protein powder, low calories syrup of your choice, 1 tbsp jelly and mix thoroughly.
-Dip buns into the egg white mix, and spread the jelly protein mix onto each bun. Press firmly around the edges to seal.
-Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes, let cool for a few minutes.
-*optional step, put powdered sugar onto a separate plate and batter each donut individually
And boston creme.
Again this is the original recipe. I modified it for myself and brushed it with a mix of water, brown sugar and confectioners truvia instead of the egg white/protein powder mixture. I also didnt add egg whites or protein powder to the filling. I just used plain SF vanilla pudding mixed with vegan whipped cream as the filling (just added water until the pudding became the right consistency and added a few tbsp whip).
I also used 10g SF jello for each donut (original recipe uses 10g for 4, but has the added egg whites and stuff). I don't think egg whites would taste good in the filling so that is why I didn't add them. That sounds kind of gross to me lol.
Recipe: Makes 4
Filling
10g sugar free Jello cheesecake pudding mix
60g egg whites
34g vanilla flavored protein powder
1t vanilla
17g lite cool whip
combine all the filling ingredients until smooth. Add sweetener to taste depending on the sweetness of your protein
Buns
17g vanilla flavored whey protein powder
120g egg whites
4 low-carb hamburger buns (I used ones that are 60 calories each)
Walden farms chocolate syrup
Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment
Whisk the protein with the egg in a shallow dish
Dip all the rolls in the egg mixture quickly (if you hold it in too long it will absorb too much), spread all the split rolls, inside-up on a countertop.
With your hands, squish an indentation in each half of the roll. This is messy but harder with a spoon.
Spoon filling into each bottom roll. Top with the top halves and squeeze around the edges to seal.
Bake or air fry 10 min and let cool. Chill in the fridge. Top with chocolate syrup to taste.

Bumping the thread for everyone who just came back to MFP and needs some volume eating ideas.
Happy January! 4 -
My new favorite volume meal is Vietnamese Noodle Salad made with Shirataki noodles.
2 cups shredded cabbage
1/2 seedless cucumber cut into matchsticks
1 carrot cut into matchsticks
1/2 C daikon radish cut into matchsticks (if I have it around)
1 C snow or sugar snap peas lightly blanched
1 C protein of choice (rotisserie chicken, marinated tofu, sauteed shrimp)
1 bag shirataki noodles, rinsed and dry sauteed to reduce water content
dressing: 1 garlic clove, 1/2 cup lime juice or rice wine vinegar, 1 TBSP sesame oil, 1/4 c fish sauce (sub soy sauce or tamari if needed), red pepper flakes to taste, 2 TBSP sweetener of choice (sugar, sugar substitute, honey). Taste and adjust seasoning.
Toss veges, protein and noodles in the dressing and eat until your belly is full. Makes a couple of big servings! It's so good!!!

Yum! That sounds really good! I used to make a similar dish with tofu noodles, shredded cabbage, cauliflower rice, zucchini, radish, topped with lots of garlic, onion powder, smoked salt, hot sauce, mustard, walden farms ginger soy sauce (while cooking to give the noodles flavor). Huge portion and the whole thing was <150 calories.1 -
Ugg, I don't know how to copy from previous posts. Oh well.
Yeah, this one is under 200 calories and it's so good. I also add green onion and a teaspoon of fresh grated ginger to the sauce, which I forgot to include. If I have them around, I might add some chopped peanuts as well I'm sure any Nuac Cham sauce recipe from the internet would work great. (I just exclude any oil that isn't sesame). The point is use a ton of vege's and shiritaki noodles for a filling, fresh, and crunchy meal. 0 -
Been volume eating a box of Christmas clearance mint chocolates. Does that still count?

Right below the post you want to quote are buttons that say "flag" "quote" "insightful" "inspiring" "like" "hug" Press one of them and voila!
(At least on the web version. No idea about the app.)

Man, you have definitely inspired me to buy some noodles!!
Thanks for posting, both of you 😘1 -
Hearts of palm "hummus", I put hearts of palm, Nutritional yeast. Splashed almond milk and seasoning in nutrabulet. It is so filling!
I make oatmeal 4x its size by cooking it a really long time after keeping as overnight pats in fridge. I add glucomannan powder to make it super thick.
I cooked black eyed peas the other day for a long time then soaked while simmering
Wow! They got huge!2 -

The 2-ingredient applesauce cake.
I didn't try it for the longest time cause I don't really like applesauce. But I have changed my mind. It's very filling, just sweet enough for me, and only 32 calories.
Has anyone else tried it with anything besides applesauce?

Curious...does it taste like applesauce (probably a silly question, but the fact that you don't like applesauce yet like this cake made me wonder)?0 -
Yes, it tastes like applesauce, but much milder.
I don't like the texture of applesauce. I do like apples and apple butter. The texture of the cake is kind of like applesauce, but not so much. Kind of like a crumbly cake.
After lots of thinking I'm gonna try it with pears. Milder flavor to start with. Less texture problem for me. Should be more like cake if it works.1 -
Tried the cloud cake with pears. Even better. Really like a cloud. Not much flavor, just a hint of sweet. Had it with blueberries tonight. So good.0

I tried the '2 ingredient applesauce cake':
Decided to make some marshmallow 'fluff' (https://www.attainable-sustainable.net/marshmallow-fluff/)
Used a small amount of Swerve sugar instead - no honey - the cake itself was quite sweet I found)
I found I liked the cake much better after it sitting in the fridge a few days. Some of the moisture evaporated and was more like a 'cake'. I actually didn't mind the apple flavor either.

Looks fantastic. I agree it's better the second or third day.0

This thread stopped me from a pasta binge last night!
I'm a volume eater and have lurked on this thread before for ideas but last night I was dead set on going home and blowing my calories on wine and pasta. Then I started to scroll through this thread again and began craving roasted veggies instead. I ended up eating a big bowl of kale, brussel sprouts, peppers, onions, chicken, brown rice and diced tomatoes with some EVOO drizzled on it. It was delicious!
And when the scale was down a little bit this morning, so I was happy and proud of myself for changing my mind.
So I just want to thank everyone who contributes here for being so inspirational. I've never commented on this thread before but I felt the urge to share. 10 -
Ollybooboo, these are for you, all veggies yjough.
