Personally I'd sub nut meal for some or all of the flour and also add seeds of some type - even a 1/4 teaspoon sprinkled on top of each one before baking would help. I'm constantly trying to add more protein as I rarely make my goal but love having a muffin for brekky occasionally - I usually then have a protein shake but…

I've struggled to get enough protein so added canned tuna and cottage cheese - shame you can't eat dairy as cottage cheese is a fantastic protein dense food. The cans of tuna with added chilli, tomato etcare good - the small cans are good for a snack or to add to your omelet or salad/veg

Oh dear - I can't touch that stuff. Hope you don't feel too awful and you have a comfy toilet seat!!! I need regular colonoscopies due to a medical condition and always look at the prep beforehand as a detox or cleanse - perhaps thinking of it that way might help

What a great post. My Mum was a fantastic cook, and I'm now a qualified chef. Mum always served a small portion of protein, a green vegetable, a red, yellow or orange vegetable and a white vegetable or side. Like your Mum the extras were reserved for Sunday lunch when we had a fancy meal and sometimes a glass of wine.…

I started on my journey because none of my work pants would fit - I'm a chef and purchased a bulk pack of pants in a size L and could barely get them on!! I finally had to admit that I hadn't put on just a few kilos - I'd put on 25kgs.........so my first goal now is to get into those pants!! I'm pretty close - the try on…

These sound similar to one I make often - I freeze so I've got a quick brekky on the run or a filling snack. Will try this recipe.

I make oat bran muffins which are fantastic. I only use a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar plus some applesauce for sweetening. I freeze them then take two out when I need a quick breakfast or one for a snack. I can post the recipe to,or row if you're interested ( recipe is at work!!)

I fully agree with the Nicole and linguisticat. I try to stick with whole foods as close to natural form as possible. I succeed **most** of the time! Occasionally I really crave a Coke or a cake and I'll have it, enjoy it, log it and not feel bad about it! I use butter and oil, whole eggs, nuts etc but in moderation. I…

Thank you! Being a total newbie I don't know where to find the recipe database though!! I'm excited to know there is one

Is there a way to copy this recipe so I can add it to 'my recipes'?

Same here, I eat it every morning for breakfast, mixed with flavoured tuna, but the idea of mixing it with sweet weirds me out. Which is kind of silly, because I love cheesecake...[/quote] Tried this for brekky this morning - 125g CC mixed with a 95g Tina lemon pepper tuna. Delicious and a whopping 28g protein for only…

Great timing on this post - I just bought two large tubs on sale today. I love to eat it savoury - hadn't thought of adding tuna though. Think I might have that for breakfast or lunch tomorrow, particularly as I'm trying to boost my protein. Thanks for this idea

The MFP nutrient page is telling me that my goal is 90g per day...... I'm a 46 year old female! Might just go and do some research - I just trusted that they'd have the numbers right

Totally forgot about cottage cheese - I LOVE it and found it super helpful when I was doing LCHPHF many years ago. Thanks for the reminder.
-
I think that's really the only solution. I could easily eat another egg for breakfast and add more meat to lunch or dinner. I've also just checked the Osolean nutrition panel and it only contains 10g protein per serve so I probably should change to a different shake for those times I use it as a meal replacement or use it…

Just realised I'm an idiot!! I've been clicking save and log instead of just save! Mystery solved

Sounds delish. I have loads of eggs at the moment so think I'll try this for quick breakfasts. Thanks for posting

Hi! I'm in Australia too - Adelaide Hills. Hubby gave me a Fitbit for Christmas so I'm using MFP in conjunction with the Fitbit for motivation and accountability. I need to lose at least 20 kg. I understand the difficulty of sticking with a program - I'm a self employed chef with two kids and work long hours. I also have…
