cottage cheese is high in protein

[MasterMatrix8]

I don't know if this has been posted already but oatmeal and steel-cut oats are great and best of all cheap!

[bmw540i]

anyone here eat alot of miso soup??

[pbfanatic321]

What is the best cottage cheese to get while cutting? Right now I eat like 4% less milk fat or something, i'm not sure if it's the right one while cutting but I've just always bought that.

[SmallyBiggs92]

thats what i eat and i really didnt know there was any different types, but i dont do the shopping, i just tell my mom what to get

This is my tuna patty recipe, not sure if one has ever been done but here's mine!

1 egg
2 packets tuna (i use the packets, easier for on-the-go)
1/4 onion diced
some vegeta seasoning
little bit of spanish paprika

Crack egg into bown and scramble, then add both packets of tuna. Mix that up. Add in your chopped onion, throw in some vegeta and paprika. Some egg liquid might be still a little runny, just mix it up and then right after that form a ball and throw it onto a skillet. I sometimes put on the lid as well. Just cook on like level 4 (might be different for you guys) and then you can flip it if you want but it's not needed (make sure it won't fall apart when you flip it).

Pics of tuna packet (if you don't know what im talking about)


Vegeta seasoning for those who don't know what im talking about


Finished product (i put it on a piece of whole wheat double protein bread, doesn't make a difference just needed some carbs).


This will make 2 patty's, but I just took the pic while the other was cooking.

would love to try this but is there a substitute for vegeta seasoning?

would love to try this but is there a substitute for vegeta seasoning?

I actually made something like these the other day. I just used salt, pepper, and adobo seasoning (you can use whatever you want seasoning wise, try googling some recipes to see what people use) with a 1/4 cup of egg beaters, some chopped onions, and one 6 oz can of tuna and they came out pretty well. Just make sure to pat down the patties with a spatula and let them cook for a little bit before you try and flip them.

Mock Ice Cream - EASY EASY VERSION

1 cup cottage cheese
1 Tbs cocoa (optional)
Sweetner to taste (optional, recommended)
1 Tbs PB

I just blend it all in the majic bullet, then throw the blender cup into the freezer for a good hour.
Ok, it's not Ben and Jerrys. It is less than 300 cals, over 30 grams protein and only 20 Carbs

I played around with this...But added sugar free/fat free pudding mix...It was the bombbbb

[NorCALSpeed]

I recommend EZ Sweetz in your recipes - it's liquid sucralose. You avoid the fillers that cause normal Splenda and Equal packets to have about 4 calories each. I have a sweet tooth and it was adding up to 100 calories a day @ 25 packets.

25 packets of splenda a day doesn't mean you should find a 0 calorie sweetener to supplement it, I think you just need to have a little more control on the sweets. I've heard of a sweet tooth but damn! Were you baking cut-friendly desserts at least?

Cutting is all about the calories in vs the calories out. Personally I buy non fat cottage cheese (0%) because it only has 80 calories per 1/2 cup, and I'd rather get my fats from other sources. Also if I don't need any more fat that day, it's a really lean source of protein.

[robbie_vlad]

Im getting sick of chicken
But as a meat its all I really like:


My main protein sources:

Chicken
Quorn
Eggs
Whey

Now I like Ham, cheese, Bacon, sausages (But heres the weird thing, I dont like pork that hasnt been processed OMG whats wrong with me) Any other Meat forms I cant stand. God dont get me started on Fish



Q: Is there any other protein sorces Ive missed

Trying to change up my diet a bit, cos at mo its u guess it chicken chicken and more F ing chicken

Lean beef (top sirloin = bomb), cottage cheese, kidney beans (9g protein per 70 cal serving), FF yogurt, pork/fish (yes, you should try to expand your horizons brah...I make a swordfish steak that you'd probably fall in love with), portobello mushrooms (3g/4g fiber protein per 30 cal serving), etc.

[pain4gain22]

i forget where, but i read that after eating fruits the body can burn around twice as many calories as that after eating many other foods (i believe the article specifically mentioned carbs? i will look for it to check it out again sorry).....has anyone else ever heard something likes this?

i have also heard from friends (not always a reliable source) that eating fruits after 4pm is bad because of the natural sugars. doesnt seem to make to much sense to me just making a note of it

Hey guys, back with another Lavashe creation. No pics this time, but this was amazing. Savoring, salty, protein-laden goodness.

Tonight I tried to reinvent pepperoni pizza. I'm sure you know what I did:

Ingredients:
canadian bacon
lavashe dough sheet
Trader joe's low fat pizza sauce
tj's low fat mozzarella



What made this awesome is the way I prepared the bacon. I stacked it all together, and then chopped it into 1/2 - 1 inch cubes. So it was stacked but cut up. I heated a sauce pan and threw it in with light oil spray. I just browned it and put a tiny bit of garlic powder and morton's grill season on it. I put on the sauce and spread it evenly, thin but even, then scattered the bacon around, then the cheese.

The cheese didn't cover it at all, but I kept the amount at a serving. This allowed the flavor of the sauce and bacon to come through. Next time I'll use 1/2 cup.

Put it in the oven on 350 for 8 minutes. So so so good.

1 Lavash Flat dough 240:48gC/8gP/ 1gF
3 servings canadian bacon 180:3/33/2
sauce 40:7/2/0
LF Mozzarella 45:0gC/ 5gP/ 3gF

I wonder, would that work if you replaced the cocoa with chocolate flavoured whey?

[Moore91]

for those of you that dont have time to cook, try this.

Cottage Cheese & Salsa:

I'm on it love cottage cheese, gonna have it on some ryvita crackers

[NorCALSpeed]

I wonder, would that work if you replaced the cocoa with chocolate flavoured whey?

It definitely works, and it tastes great. Add xantham gum or baking powder for fluffier ice cream.

Got this recipe from Guy on the food network, actually tastes delicious, high in protein, and unless you eat them on a roll pretty low in carbs. You don't need to use all of the ingredients to have a delicious patty, i'd say just the fresh vegetables and come garlic:

Ingredients
2 ounces olive oil
1/2 red onion, diced
4 tablespoons diced black olives
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1/4 cup diced artichoke hearts
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
Ketchup
Mustard
Toasted sesame buns
Lettuce
Tomato
Directions
In a medium saute pan over medium heat add, 1-ounce oil and all raw vegetables and saute until translucent. Remove and cool.


Add veggies to raw chicken and mix thoroughly. Add all dry ingredients and egg. Thoroughly mix all ingredients and form into 4 patties. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.


In same saute pan add remaining 1-ounce olive oil, and cook patties 2 to 3 minutes per side.


Serve with ketchup and mustard on toasted sesame buns with lettuce and tomato

I went to go look for Shirataki noodles at a couple local places and none had them. However an asian grocer had "Rice Sticks" labeled also as "Hu Tieu Dai Nam Vang" H.H. Brand, distributed by Loui A= TY Co., Inc.

The labe says one serving is 20 calories and that one serving is 18.8g. The noodles are pretty rich in sodium and sugar, but I'm wondering if the calories part could be right? I don't really trust the label and I can't seem to find much via Google.

Go to a Japanese market if you can. I don't have a wrapper in front of me, but what you're looking for is in the refrigerated (not freezer) section. It's a clear bag with noodles in water, and the ingredients (at least of the 0 calorie ones I buy) is yam, water, hydro-something. They have 0 calories per serving.

If you find those, the Shirataki will be right next to them, they usually have soy or tofu added though.

do you mean 1 serve = 18.8g WEIGHT... If so - then doesn't surprise me that it is only 20 cals! That wouldn't serve a small child.
Anyway - the name alone sounds like rice vermacelli to me - used in the traditional noodle soup "Hu Tieu My Tho".

WW Pizza Dough

1 tsp salt
1 tsp active dry yeast
4 tsp honey(can be omitted if you like)
2 1/2 cups wholewheat flour
1 cup warm water

Mix the yeast and honey together in a large bowl with the warm water. Allow to sit in a warm area until there is a good covering of foam over the top of the mixture.

Add in the flour and salt to the yeast mixture and roughly mix with a fork until you have a crude dough. Continue mixing with your hands until you have a nice dough ball formed.

Cover the bowl with clingfilm and then put the bowl in a basin or sink with about 4 inches of hot water around it. This will help the dough rise quicker. Leave for around 30-40 minutes to rise then punch the dough down to get rid of the air and then let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Cut up to suit your needs, I usually cut it into 4 so I can have 4 mini pizzas but you can do what you like with it.

Rough nutritional facts(vary depending on your flour):

Servings - 4
Calories per serving - 285
Carbs - 62g
Sugars - 6g(Honey, less if no honey added)
Fibre - 8g
Protein - 10g

If you decide to use the whole thing then just multiply those numbers above by 4 or whatever number you split the dough into.

If you do split it into 4 then they can be easily fitted into macros for cutting, I use them often and am losing steadily.

Enjoy.

A new one, sort of. Lean pork tenderloin with veggies and white/brown basmati rice (blended). You can make this low carb of course if you delete the rice, and use those awesome miracle noodles.

Seasoned the pork with pepper, garlic salt and a tiny drizzle (Snoop Dogg cook book) of peanut oil.
Turn pan on high and sear each side for about 1 minute, until it's lightly browned. Turn heat to low and cover, testing it every few minutes. As it cooks it will get firmer. Cook to your liking, above medium of course.
Microwaved the broccoli for a fast steam, I like mine al dente.

Sauce is tough (I got it from work but I'll do my best here.)
Minced shallots and garlic, sauteed in olive and sesame oil. Once they are cooked add a few tomatoes (heirloom are best, or anything sweet). Peel them first for best results.
Then add soy sauce and balsamic at a ratio of 2:1. You can decide how salty and/or think you want the sauce. Mine is fairly light on the soy/balsamic, and was absolutely perfect.

I would say its:
1 tbsp. EVOO
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1 tsp balsamic
1.5 tsp soy
1/2 clove garlic (minced)
1/2 shallot.

Reduce it a bit, but not so much that it's thick. you want it still an easily pourable, oily sauce. These ingredients netted me about 1/4 cup of sauce, of which I used about 2 tsp for this dinner. It should taste salty and sweet, with garlic taking the back seat. It should also be unbelievable.

rice 150:35/3/0
1 cup broccoli 25:4/1/0
sauce 45:0/0/5

A strong, tasty, meal for the desperate!

This is a simple meal that u can play around with. The inspiration came from snoozing 4 -5 times before waking up 10 minutes before classes while attending University. It seemed as a mistake at first, till i started chowing down on this holy mix, which I call, Power Oats.

You can increase/decrease any of the following ingredients based on your goals. For example, if your carb cycling, and on your low carb days, you can drop half the oats, and keep, or increase the PB. If your on your high carb days, you can reduce the PB and increase oats and whey. I also substitute PB for walnuts, or almonds for a crunchier texture.

POWER OATS

1 cup Oats
1-2 Scoops of Whey
1 Tbsp Natty Peanut Butter (or walnuts/almonds)

.... Directions?

Either savagely eat up the peanut butter without the oats and whey mix, or mix it all in for a strong and hefty breakfast (can also be a preworkout meal as well?)

I find them in the cold veggie section at my store, good luck.
