Was bored last night and tossed this together.
Easy Cold Oatmeal

1/2 cup whole grain oatmeal
1/2 cup skim milk
1/4 cup blueberries
2 tbsp Natural (low sodium) peanut butter


Heat peanut butter and blueberries in microwave for 30-45 seconds. (softens the peanut butter and gets some of the blueberries easier to mash up)

Pour oatmeal and milk on top of peanut butter and blueberries and mix together, try to smash some of the berries.

put in fridge overnight (or eat it then if you choose, it gets a much thicker consistency overnight, the oats/peanut butter absorb the milk).



Add other/more fruit/nuts if you choose. That was all the blueberries I had

Pretty filling meal for me this morning. Next time I make it, I may add a banana or more blueberries or some nuts.

2 slices of bread, slightly toasted under the grill.
Whack on a tin of tuna and cover in cheese
Put back under the grill until the cheese is melted

Tuna and Cheese melt

[allansbl]

protein mash-up

mix slash of low sodium hot sauce, half cup of low fat cottage cheese and tablespoon of your choice of mustard, with cracked pepper to taste.
Add two chopped up hard boiled eggs and a can of tuna. mix.

It sounds nasty but it comes out like a meaty egg salad without the mayo. great for putting on any bread/ wrap/ lettuce/ or eating plain. Stays for 3 days in the fridge for ready made meals.

I think the way i made it was kinda loaded in carbs but was something like this according to myfitnesspal.

660 cals 91g carbs 17g fat 48g protein

really the rice was the most carbs id probally use 1/4 a cup and be fine and you could always add more chicken.

Its pretty comparable to chipotle just less calories less fat and less carbs and sodium pretty awesome if i must say so.

I have only made steak with it, But I'm sure It would be great on chicken or even on turkey. it might work for fish too. (I'm not a fan of fish) but yea just get creative, Add it to some meals you think would taste good with it. If you find something great, please come back and share!

Making my own macaroni and cheese would be healthy right? (want to start cutting)

I could use whole grain pasta, add own cheese, etc.


Anyone have any recipes for making mac n cheese?

Fruit/vegetable smoothie

1 whole orange
1 whole banana
1 cup grapes
about half of a pear
about half of a mango
1/2 cup-1 cup kale
1/2 ice cubes
1/2 cup water

and any other fruit/vegetable you'd care to add/subtract from the recipe, but this is my favourite.
you'll need a pretty stellar blender for this one though... i guess that's one of the benefits of having a $500 blender.

Crispy Chicken Nuggets

- 3 x 6oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/4 cup of wheat germ
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- Garlic powder (pinch)
- 1/2 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 large egg white

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F. Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper or coating lightly with best-quality olive oil.
2. Cut chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches square. Set aside.
3. Next, combine all dry ingredients in a large container with a tightly fitting lid. Shake well. This is your coating mixture.
4. Combine water and egg in a medium bowl. Dip each piece in the water/egg-white mixture. Then dip each piece in the coating mixture. Make sure each piece is well coated.
5. Place on the baking sheet. When all of your chicken has been coated and your baking sheet is full, place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.

One tasty meal or snack i like when you want to start getting cut is rice cake.

mix some tuna with finally choped jelapenos, little mayo as it contains omega 3 and omega 6 oil..

spread it onto the rice cake and you have a high protein very yummy snack.

you can add a pinch of ginger too as ginger and chilli are good fat burning ingrediants,..

I don't count specific macros, but I can estimate that this particular batch was around 45P/20F/60C. Bout 600 calories.

These are GREAT, and real simple to put together.

Oh, and I highly recommend a griddle for day to day cooking. I do chicken, toast, eggs, anything on that thing!

Happy T-Day guys and girls,

tuna/chicken/salmon salad

2 slices of multi grain bread
1/4-1/2 of an avocado

gut the avocado into a bowl, microwave it for 30 seconds to soften it, throw it in with your the chicken/fish and mash it up. a lot of healthy fats and great source of protein, avocado sweetens it up

1 sandwich (salmon):
~400 cals
10g fat
30g protein
45g carbs
12g fiber


sunbutter and egg whites on a 100% whole grain bagel (wegman's brand)
SO delicious, and provides:
500 cals
20g fat
55g carbs
25g protein
8g fiber
have with a glass if skim milk and you're set.

[PiercedGamer411]

Might have been posted already as I got this in some magazine but its one of the best recipes Ive had and I sadly dont know the nutritional value.

3 or 4 boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cups mustard (try one cup first, if you think it needs more mustard add just one more cup.)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
10 packets of Splenda (could use Stevia too Im sure, just posting what the original recipe called for)

Throw on the grill or in a frying pan, dont need oils for the pan, the sauce kind of coats it and your pan will look terrible afterwards but honestly extremely easy to clean, the burnt sauce pulls/falls right off if using a Teflon pan. You will have plenty of sauce left over for dipping and I do recommend dipping.
