https://www.vitacost.com/bobs-red-mill-high-fiber-oat-bran-hot-cereal This made with 30 calorie unsweetened almond milk and a sprinkle of dark brown sugar. My go-to "fast food". Not only do I love the taste, texture, and easiness, but you can make it a little on the thinner side by adding a bit more water or milk and just…

I *love* that southwest protein steamer! It is SOOO good! If you switch from ground turkey to ground chicken, you'll shave off a few more fat calories. When I add beans, I usually add black beans as they are higher in protein than kidney beans. Then I dump a liberal amount of salsa on top, as I consider salsa an almost…

I used to absolutely require a full tablespoonful of sugar and used half & half in my coffee. Then we got a real espresso machine: https://www.amazon.com/Breville-BES840XL-Infuser-Espresso-Machine/dp/B0089SSOR6/ref=sr_1_2 and I find that actually frothing/steaming whole milk correctly makes the milk itself sweet enough I…

I wouldn't recommend using ground meat in a dehydrator for eating as jerky items or in any way eating it "raw" (jerky is "raw" enough to be dangerous). I used to work in a slaughterhouse and the grocery meat department, trust me, you do not want to risk the danger of eating raw ground meat of any kind. The meat cuttings…

Substitute ground chicken for the ground sirloin, and use https://www.barilla.com/en-us/products/pasta/proteinplus/proteinplus-elbows pasta, add a big can of diced tomatoes (the bigger size, not the petite cut) in addition to the normal amount of stewed tomatoes, and more celery. The added protein in the protein pasta…

It would probably make a good lentil soup base, with something smoky added, like bacon or smoked ham. I'd strain it to remove the bulk of the spices like the whole seeds in corned beef seasoning.

Just that the original question was very specifically asking for low-carb suggestions, is all. I'd love your recipe/instructions for those meatballs if you wouldn't mind sharing it. I've never successfully made anything using tofu other than silken tofu in smoothies.

Thiiiiiissss: http://www.nakedjuice.com/our-products/green-machine/ oh my god, this is so good (but FULL of sugar because it's mostly fruit juice!)

The fact that artificial sweeteners affect the human gut biome is well established and easy to find. There are plenty of articles to the effect, such as https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/artificial-sweeteners-may-change-our-gut-bacteria-in-dangerous-ways/ and…

Ah! I remember those days! I'm sure I did burn that many back when I worked. I was thinking the OP's calories burnt were from an exercise routine, not from a day's hard work. I'd sure like to know that exercise routine, since my body can't handle days of factory work anymore.

Please don't go by what happened yesterday and day before in my diary - first two days of period are days I just can't cope with anything correctly and standing long enough to make food is torture, I know I didn't eat enough, but I also know I couldn't move all day - existing was agony. My metabolism was changed as a…

I have not found that to be true in my case. I think people's results may vary depending on how strong or weak their metabolism system is. Mine is very poor.

I also have this problem (it used to be worse when I was on Ambien - back then I would zip-tie my cabinets shut before bed every night) and I found that a fat-free greek yogurt with a small amount of granola on top does it for me. It's filling, sweet, rich, and I go back to sleep quite happy. Just be careful with the…

Artificial sweeteners are often gastric irritants. As someone with IBD/IBS, I can tell you that cutting artificial sweeteners is definitely on the list of doctor recommendations (also be sure to cut out carrageenan - it is a severe gastric irritant!). I personally very rarely drink soda. Almost all artificial sweeteners…

I didn't know it was possible to burn over 1000 calories in a single day! Impressive! Maybe bigger people eat more and burn more? I'm 5'2 and 135 lbs and I struggle to burn off over 300 calories a day but I only eat between 800-1300. FIRST: I am not a doctor, please seek the advice of a doctor or trained nutritionist to…

I make "sheperd's pie" with it. I boil it until it is soft (a whole head worth, minus the bulk of the stem, cut into spears), then drain it, put it in the food processor with a tablespoon or so of salted butter, a shake or two of Kraft Parmesan, and a swig of half & half, then pulse it until creamy. I brown a pound of…

Save it for later, then browse the app sidebar to "Recipes, Meals & Foods" and click it, find your saved for later meal you want to edit, click into it, click on the 3 little dots at the very top right of your app, click Edit meal, click the pencil at the top right of the app, scroll down, check the checkbox next to the…

I learned something I didn't ever think of when I met my current partner, who was a long-time bachelor before I found him: Did you know that pasta sauces in a jar can be re-closed and put in the fridge? It had never occurred to me not to make the whole jar of sauce at once. I felt pretty dumb when he asked me why I thought…

I don't see how these could possibly have a bagel texture. Bagels must be made with yeast and must be boiled. That's what gives them their bagel texture.

I'm not at all vegan or vegetarian and I've not drunk cow milk for many many years! I just strongly prefer almond milk! I still eat and love cheese, and I'm a strong meat-eater, but I converted from cow's milk ages ago. Almond milk is just so much better to me, plus as someone who struggles with weight, the 30 calories and…

Oh yeah, I also sometimes make a big pot of chili or stew. Here's my recipes: Chili: 1lb ground chicken 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 chopped onion 1 chopped red bell pepper several big spoonfuls of jarred garlic (brown everything above this together in a big stock pot) (after that's done, dump all this on top of that stuff:)…

Most of that looks like it's loaded with carbs. That's a ton of pasta and rice. The meatballs look good, do you use chicken for those?

This chopped ham (can be found at Hannaford's groceries, not sure if it's regional or not): https://frickmeats.com/our-meats/diced-ham/ is great in some scrambled eggs and you could not make a quicker meal, just throw in some salsa and some peppers and it's even "balanced". I also make ground chicken-based meatballs ahead…

I cook mine in stock (beef or chicken) and plenty of salt, a bit of olive oil, and then add whatever herbs I'm in the mood for, often it's thyme and rubbed sage. I love lentils, I don't get the "dirt" taste, but maybe I like the way dirt tastes? You need to use savory herbs with them and some oil to carry it, like an olive…

My favorite "snack cheat" is substituting cheese and garlic flavored texas toast style croutons for chips. Just as satisfying and the smaller size bags mean even if you eat the whole thing you're still WAY ahead as if you did the same thing with a bag of chips. They have MUCH less fat than potato chips and all the flavor.…

A lightly crusted pan seared pork chop over a bed of seasoned lentils with gravy with a side of asparagus in a lemony sauce? http://redforkfoods.com/products/vegetable-seasoning/lemon-herb-asparagus-skillet-sauce is my favorite asparagus sauce, but don't buy the 10 minute promise, it takes a good 20 minutes to cook them on…

I make these early in the week for grab-and-go breakfast: Quinoa Veggie Protein Egg Bites, makes 9 (in a regular muffin tin) Ingredients: 4 Large Eggs 0.25 cup (46g) Quinoa (prepared in water and cooled) 85 grams Carrots, diced 5 ounces of Rainbow Bell Peppers, chopped 1/4 cup Whey Protein Concentrate 4 tbsp Mild…

I defrosted pork, so probably a pork stew. Pretty basic and more or less exactly the same as beef stew but I make some tweaks as follows: replace beef with lean pork replace potatoes with rutabaga (it's sort of like a giant turnip - turnips should work too if you can't find rutabagas) replace half the beef stock with…

I've figured out the ranch dip, since we're on the subject. I use half no-fat plain greek yogurt and half Daisy brand light sour cream (no other light sour cream is any good). It greatly reduces the calories and fat from using the full sour cream like I used to use. I tried using more yogurt and less sour cream, but you…
