Variety of recipes I have seen various posts, but how could I know that which type of food is best for me. I can't use all recipes in my diet plan. I think I can follow these all in a weekly plan.

Vegetarian Lower Carb burgers (nutrition is for 2 servings added up - very filling!)

4 Large Flat Mushrooms (2F 6C 7.2P 64cal) used as the burger 'buns'
2 Quorn Classic Burgers (14.8F 17.6C 32.4P 328cal) <- make this chicken or something and carbs would obviously be a lot lower
Some Romaine lettuce leaves (0F 3C 1P like 10 calories)
1 tbsp (could get away with less tbh) extra virgin olive oil (13.5F 119cal)

Melt a bit of cheese over the top of both if that floats your boat, add a poached egg, anything you like

Shakshuka:

2 large servings:

2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 yellow onion
2 garlic cloves
1 red bell pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
½ chili, or more to taste
2 cups / 60 g kale (about 2 large leaves without stems) or spinach (fresh or frozen)
1 large handful fresh basil or 1 tbsp dried basil
2 x 400 g (14 oz) cans whole plum tomatoes
6 eggs, depending on how many that can fit in your skillet

Finely chop onion, garlic and bell pepper. Heat oil in a skillet on medium heat, add onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper, cumin and paprika and cook for another couple of minutes. Meanwhile place kale and tomatoes in a food processor or blender and process until you reach the consistency of a finely chopped tomato sauce. Pour the tomato sauce mixture in the skillet and let cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Make small divots in the sauce for the eggs and carefully crack the eggs into them. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5 more minutes, until the egg whites have set. Serve with a few leaves fresh basil and whole grain brown bread or pita.

Shredded Taco Chicken:

2 lbs chicken
40 tbsp Salsa
Taco Seasoning Packet

Put everything into a crockpot. Let it cook on low for 8 hours. Shred the chicken meat up with a fork. You can either eat the chicken by itself, put it in a wrap, mix it with cheese, light sour cream, and/or greek yogurt. Tastes delicious.

The chicken, salsa, and seasoning are about 1,300 calories: 210 grams protein, 50 grams carbs, 28 grams fat.

OK so I haven't posted on here much but I have yet to find anything I could post to and it be productive. UNTIL NOW! I love to cook and eat healthy. This recipe is not for cooking per se but is well worth the time for a healthy snack. I apologize if this has been posted before but I have looked over the first 15 pages and have yet to see it. Here goes.

Fresh Tomato Salsa (Pico de Gallo)
6 Roma Tomatos, diced and drained (not much juice but I drain them anyway)
1/2 Red Onion, diced (about a TBSP is plenty if you need more just add more)
1 Jalapeno, diced (For hotter keep the seeds for milder but a little bite, deseed)
1TBSP Cilantro (chopped finely
Juice of one lime)

This goes good on tacos, in eggs, on top of black beans, chips and salsa, etc.

Baked Corn Tortilla Chips
Get the taco sized Tortilla
Pam Organic Olive Oil spray
Olive oil or grapeseed oil. I used olive

Preheat oven to 350deg. Spray pam on pan. Oil one side of the tortillas with oil all the way to the edges. Cut into 1/6ths and place on the pan so they are not touching. Bake for about 8 mins or until the edges are turning brown and the chips are crisp. I don't like salt so it is not in my diet but if you like by all means. But I use sprinkle just a little garlic powder on mine. A good cheap, healthy snack.

Not sure of the calories but is not too much. You can use Nutritional websites to find out but it is not much at all.

Hope you like.

Anyone got anything in the way of a light/low cal sorbet? I tried to make one earlier with nothing but pineapple chunks, lemon juice and water and it just turned to ice rather than sorbet! Think it needs cream/milk/sugar of some form.

Anyone got anything in the way of a light/low cal sorbet? I tried to make one earlier with nothing but pineapple chunks, lemon juice and water and it just turned to ice rather than sorbet! Think it needs cream/milk/sugar of some form.

Here is one copied from someone else:

Watermelon ice sorbet
3 cups of water
1 to 3 cups of splenda (depends how sweet u want it, i used 3 cups and it's pretty sweet)
4 cups of real watermelon
1/4 cup of lime juice

- first put the 3 cups of water to boil in a sauce pan and add the splenda, boil for a good 10mins together
- in a blender add the 4 cups of watermelon, and a little water so it can be mixed by the blender and mix it till u have a smooth puree
- let the boiled splenda water mix cool for around 20mins
- Mix the watermelon puree, lime juice with the splenda water mix and again use the blender to mix it all, you might have to seperate it in twos if you have a small blender
- Put the entire mix in anything u want that fits in your freezer, I used regular plastic topare (i think that's what you call them?)
- leave it in the freezer for a few hours, pref overnight.. when you open it it has to be solid enough that it wont move when you move the container.. if it moves it's too liquidy
- once it's ready to serve just use a spoon to mix it around, it will look like mashed watermelons... it's a great treat and the only calories will come from the actual watermelon.. everything else is just splenda and water.. of course u can make it with real sugar but that kindah defeats the point

So many good recipes, great !

Thanks a bunch! Think the problem was the lack of splenda boiled with the water to provide the right consistency.

Open faced breakfast sandwich - YUM

I have one of those mini pans that cooks an egg in a round circle - that helps

Ingredients:
Coconut oil - for cooking the egg - I use 1/4 tbsp - 31 cals
1 slice Ezekiel Bread (34g) or any low cal bread - 80 cals
Sargento ultra thin cheese - 1 slice - 40 cals
Trader Joe's cage free egg whites - I use 2 tbsp only - 17

Total cal - 168

Lightly toast your slice of bread
Heat up the coconut oil in your pan, get it all around the bottom of the pan so the egg won't stick
Put in your egg and put a lid on the pan so both sides cook. Flip.
Once cooked through put egg on toast, put slice of cheese on top and microwave for 5-10 seconds

YUM

Added some Frank's hot sauce and a pinch of salt on top.

[kimbosliice]

One package of frozen kale (mine was trader joes) - 125 cal for whole package
1/4 white onion - 30 cal
1 clove garlic - 4 cal
1.5 cups almond milk - 60 cal (can use any milk)
2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast - 40 cal (can omit)
1 cup vegetable stock - 15 cal (can sub water or omit)

Total: 299 calories - this is enough for at least 5 servings

Optional add-ins:
Fish sauce
Salt

Add all ingredients to blender until completely combined.

Heat up a bowl in the microwave and eat!

if you are looking for something with good fats, then coconut oil or oily fish eg tuna, sardines, mackerel

[fabiosse222]

Terrific information in this article!! Thank you
This article REALLY finally made certain aspects
of weight loss make sense to me. I had noticed that
with some people I work with that are attempting to
lose weight and are quite heavy that they were able
to lose a lot of weight in quite a short period of time
while I struggle to get the scale to move even a pound.
