What low cal/sugar sauces and sprices does everyone add to canned tuna? I'm getting sick of tuna and franks red hot and I don't like mayo.

Mustard.

[justinc1089]

Do NOT mix strawberry whey in scrambled eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. It does not actually mix.

2. The strawberry flavor stays there and you have strawberry flavored eggs.

3. The scrambled eggs smell like scrambled eggs and strawberry.

4. Do it. Lol.

It was the scrambled eggs with strawberry whey I posted wasn't it? I mean its such a genius idea I'm sure when you saw it you were like me and thought "Whey is powder and protein therefore is good to put in anything and everything!" lol

With my Packers dominating the grid iron every weekend now almost 3 months I have been worried that breaking my tradition of which I happen to start in weeks 1 and 2, will somehow cause our first loss of the season. Superstition, maybe? Maybe not? I am not going to tempt fate however. Going out for a big plate of "bar type" nachos every weekend was not something I wanted to make habit of so I went ahead and found a way to make my own nachos more healthy at home so I could stick to the routine and still catch the game (not blow my diet) and save cash come Sunday!

This is what we have:

36 corn tortilla scoops
1/2 cup canned black beans (rinsed)
8 oz shredded chicken
1/2 cup part skim Mexican cheese blend
1/4 cup each: of diced green pepper, onion, mushroom
1/2 cup each: canned diced tomatoes, mild salsa of choice


The outcome:



Looking at about 80g carbs, 65g protein, 15g fat, tons of flavor and taste!

haha...love me some fro yo but I normally hit up the "no sugar added" kind with some almonds and berries.

tyty!

[bradmiller12345]

he flavors of what you add with it due to their texture. I believe they also have good health benefits! Check them out!



another little perk is the thermogenic effect boosts your metabolislm i use hot sauce ,cayenne pepper or ginger on everything that i eat but oatmeal ...come to think of it a little cinnamon cayenne oats might not be too bad !

Insight, I like this..very good idea to spread the knowledge of low-cal grubbin'! Well I've posted this before in Wave's threads but I think it'll be smart to throw it in here as well....

SHIRATAKI NOODLES- google them...they basically have 0 calories. They noodles that you do NOT have to cook, you just take them out of the bag and give them a quick water rinse and bam, you're good to go! They are good for adding or substituting for normal pasta, noodles, or rice. I eat them for lunch everyday with a piece of beef or chicken and all I have to count is the beef and chicken b/c the noodles have 0 calories! They don't have much of a taste of their own, they're more known for soaking up the flavors of what you add with it due to their texture. I believe they also have good health benefits! Check them out!

BUFFALO/HOT/TABASCO SAUCE-These are great additions to anyone's diet who are looking to cut calories. Not only do most hot sauces have 00000 calories, but they taste great! I substitute hot sauce for bbq sauce or even mayo etc...things that have like 200 calories per usage.

Try some fresh choped ginger and a little cayenne pepper w/ some tomato slices, just dont squeeze all the water out so its kinda moist still..

[Loseitripit]

MRP (meal replacement bar) yummm, but not too sweet.

made this recipe up myself today.


you will need:

2 cups of rolled oats
vanilla whey of your choice (4 scoops)
2 Tblsp sweetener of your choice
2 Tblsp pure cocoa
1 cup of water


blend the dry ingredients in a normal blender (i know your not meant to blend dry, just be carfulnot to breath in the dust)
the oats my be a bit chunky then or you can make it a very smooth power, by preference i left it chunky.

then put them in a large bowl and slowly stir in the water to make a very most putty, make sure therer are no dry spots.

fill this into a container and cover with cling flim.

place in fridge over night,

take out in the morning and cut into 3 bars if cutting, 2 if on a bulk each bar would be a meal.

enjoyyyyy

[IsabellaBobby]

Hey girl thanks for these awesome recipes! i tried the banana ice cream just now, way delicious!!

[IsabellaBobby]

RIm 21- I add salsa to my tuna! I got some really good "organic" salsa from whole foods, salsa is good for you but just make sure you pick one that is low in sodium ... & its also good with some celery & carrots...
orrr you could try tuna with apples and walnuts/almonds... i know you dont like mayo but 1tsp makes it so much creamier and better haha

This thread is pure gold! Thanks to all the contributors. I'll be adding some of my own recipies soon!

Ok I finally have something I feel is good enough to contribute to this thread. It's my new breakfast of choice. So to start we need to make our biscuits. I took a recipe for Soy Flour Biscuits I found on this forum and got a little more detailed with it. Credit goes to Tdogg2k8 for the basic soy biscuit recipe.

Soy Flour Biscuits (makes 6 biscuits with 1 biscuit containing 14.7g(P),7.42g(C),5.95g(F) for 142.03 calories)

Ingredients:
1 cup soy flour 56g(P), 40g(C)
1 scoop protein powder 26g(P), 3g(C), 2g(F)
1 teaspoon baking powder 0
1/4 teaspoon salt 0
1 tablespoon Splenda 1.5g(C)
1 large egg 6g(P), 0 , 5g(F)
1 teaspoon olive oil 4.7g(F)
1/4 cup light butter 24g(F)
1/2 cup water 0

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift the dry ingredients together(I do it twice). Cut the butter into small pieces and freeze for 5 minutes to harden. Using a pastry mixer(or fork) cut(mix) the butter into the dry mix. Then cut in the egg and oil until the mix is in small lumps. Now add the water(you may not want to use the whole half of a cup, just enough to bind all the dry mix) and use a fork to make sure there isn't any dry mix left(don't over mix). On a clean surface(I use a big sheet of foil for easy cleanup) spread out enough soy flour to keep the dough from sticking to the surface. Place the mix on the flour and sprinkle some more flour on top of the dough so it won't stick to your hand as you knead the dough a few times(it still will most likely). After kneading the dough you want to pat it out into about a 1 inch thick circle. Using a round glass the size you would like your biscuits to be(I use a 3 inch diameter glass) press into the dough without turning and place the biscuit onto a baking sheet. Once you run out of room to make clean circle cuts then you can ball the excess dough up and pat out to make a couple more biscuits. You might have a small amount left over you can pat out into a smaller biscuit(I end up with about 6 and a half biscuits). Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown. I wouldn't recommend eating the biscuits by themselves but they are great with a small amount of butter and some sugar free preserves.


Now, my favorite part is the turkey sausage. I found the recipe online and added the crushed red pepper because I like my food spicy. This recipe has fennel seeds in it which gives italian sausage it's flavor so if you don't like italian sausage you could leave it out or even substitute it with some sugar free maple syrup for a more traditional breakfast sausage.

Turkey Sausage (makes 16 patties with 1 patty containing 6.8g(P), .48g(C), .41g(F) for 32.8 calories)

Ingredients:
1 pound 99% ground turkey 108g(P), 0 , 6g(F)
2 teaspoons garlic powder .67g(P), 4g(C), 0
1.5 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed .5g(P), 1.5g(C), .5g(F)
1.5 teaspoons Splenda 0 , .75g(C), 0
1.5 teaspoons salt 0
1.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper 0
1 teaspoon dried oregano 0 , 1g(C), 0
.5 teaspoon black pepper 0 , .5g(C), 0

Directions:
Combine all the dry ingredients. Then mix into the turkey meat(I pour 1/3 the dry mix into the turkey and then mix and repeat to help evenly mix the blend). Let it marinate in the fridge in a tupperware over night. Now the fun and messy part. Roll the meat into 16 equally sized balls. Then flatten them into round patties. To store the patties I use saran wrap by taking a portion big enough for three patties. Place the patties far enough apart to leave room to cut into individual sections after you fold the wrap over a few times. You can freeze whatever you think you wont be able to eat in a week.


Time to make breakfast! Fry your sausage and then fry a large egg white. While the egg is cooking you can microwave the biscuit for about 20 seconds. I use a half of a slice of 2% american cheese when I build the biscuit. I also like to put a tablespoon of sugar free strawberry preserves on the plate to spread on each bite. I could eat at least three of these but I'm on a never ending cut it seems so for now I just eat one.

1 soy flour biscuit 14.7g(P), 7.42g(C), 5.95g(F) = 142.03
1 turkey sausage patty 6.8g(P), .48g(C), .41g(F) = 32.8 cal
1 large egg white 4g(P) = 16 cal
1/2 slice 2% american cheese 2g(P), 1g(C), 1.5g(F) = 25.5 cal

total = 27.5g(P), 8.9g(C), 7.86g(F) = 216.33 cal

optional, but highly recommended is the tablespoon of sugar free strawberry preserves with 5g(C) for 20 cal

I may go a little overboard with details but I can't help it. If anyone has a better alternative for the biscuits let me know.

nothing revolutionary here but delish.

Spicey chicken over fresh veggies

dinnah.jpg

Cut Chicken breast up and cook with 1 red bell pepper cut into slices and 1 chillie pepper cut into pieces, a touch of soy sauce and a splash of your fav hot sauce.
Steam a bag of veggies.

Lay veggies out on a plate place chicken on top and enjoy. I gotta keep mixing up the way I eat chicken before I go nuts.

Nice thread, Will be trying recipes!

I makes some turkey cups at the beginning of the week to have as a quick breakfast in the mornings during the work week.

1. Spray a muffin pan with some olive oil pam
2. Line each hole of the muffin pan with 1 or 2 slices of deli turkey meat.
3. Fill each hole with chopped goodies (I use bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, and mushrooms)
4. Crack on egg on top of each one, leaving the yoke in is optional based on your diet. If you leave the yoke in, I tend to pop it and mix it up a bit.
5. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes at 400.

I add some fresh pepper and cholula hot sauce on top...yum!

With the yoke in the macros for each turkey cup are
127 calories
3g carbs
7g fat
10g protein

You can figure out what it would be with the yoke gone

See attachment for an image of final dish.

Interesting. Looks very good. Will try these out. Might try topping the veggies with some cheese. Cholula is awesome too. Not very spicy but the flavor is great, my go to hot sauce.

[John2285]

I Love pasta with sauteed vegetables but used to put a load of oil in with the veggies so it'd become unhealthy. Now I sautee garlic with just 1 tables spoon of olive oil for a few minutes than add whatever veggies and sautee for a few more minutes. At this point I add chicken stock and let it cook on high and reduce for a little bit and it comes out delicious.This also works if your making tomato sauce. Ex. yesterday I made broccoli with garlic and the one tablespoon oliveoil but the chicken stock made it delicious.

I made these today there really easy and quick to make and you can keep changing up what you put in them so that's a plus. Good job man for posting these, I like them alot!

[korvix]

Cottage + Berries = the ultimate cutting dessert/treat/meal

[Enriquefranco]

1 pita bread
1/3 cup marinara sauce
1 cup fat free, shreded mozzarella cheese
1 slice 97% fat free ham

Pour marinara sauce on pita's bread, then spread the cheese and cut the ham into slices, so it will be:

Protein: 17g
Carb: 19g
Fat: 4g
And around 300 calories

[KeepItRREAL]

I'd like to give a big thanks to the people who posted tuna patty recipes I just made some for the first time and they are AMAZING. They fill me up and taste awesome. I cheat a little and put a little bit of melted cheese on top and eat with pickles, but that doesn't add too many calories.

When I make wings I steam them first for 45 min then put them on a cooling rack in the fridge for an hour then bake at 450 for 20 min then add sauce. The steam takes allot of the fat off, you'll see it in the pot. The baking makes them crisp and the cooling is so they don't get over cooked

[BackToBasicks]

Solid recipes in here.. Will be using a few to change up (those chillis)

[haleyb77]
