*** The delicious "cut-friendly" recipe thread ***

[Beacher]

Sweet idea, looks good too, menu doesn't work though

Haha thanks, it's just there for looks until we add that content, the main concern with getting the site live was to allow users to submit recipes while we build up the other areas

[rachelily]

This isn't a specific recipe, but I switch out flour/milk for almond flour and almond milk. I find this usually keeps calories and sugar/carbs down but is still really good

I just got some almond flour today and it is delicious! I too swap out for almond milk, cuts a lot of cals.

[mustsquat]

Not specific recipies... but ideas I have found that are easy to customize:

Breakfast idea: "Egg Cups"
Use cupcake pan - line each cup with a slice of your prefered meat (ie: Turkey, whatever you like). After that fill with things you like (small cube of grain bread, veggies, cheese, etc.) Top with 1 egg per cupcake-cup. Might have to help it wiggle into the nooks & crannies so it doesn't over flow. Leave yolk whole, scramble a little, or remove yolk entirely. Bake at 350 for roughly 20 minutes (give or take, you'll see when the egg looks cooked.) When cooled, remove from cupcake pan and store in tupperware. Easy for an on the go breakfast in the car, or microwave at work etc.

Second... spaghetti squash is wonderful. Chop in half. Place cut side down in a shallow pan. Add water (cover roughly 1/2" up the edge of squash) - microwave for 15 or so minutes. You'll know its done when it is soft and has some give if you squeeze the shell. Use a fork to scrape the strings out of the shell (this is your spaghetti!) and throw in whatever ingredients you want - I like to add different types of beans. You can add veggies, cheese, any sauce you want (pesto, red, chopped tomato etc.) - Its a nice hearty meal minus all of the pasta.

Sorry, I don't really have nutritional info but it would all depend on what ingredients you use!

[CD101]

for my main meal I use a measuring cup of for everything and I only cook with a bit of water and add the longest cooking 1st like

1)potato, rice/barley, carrot
2)then add celery and onion
3)then broccoli , bell peppers, cucumber...
4)then some chopped pork/beef loin or tenderloin, chicken, fish....whatever, combos too
5)sometimes multi dry bean mix that I cook separate and keep in the fridge

or similar veggies, whatever I have

then spices and its like a stir fry, tastes great and very very healthy and filling


I hardly ever eat refined sugars anymore, sometimes I have a slice of bread and jam without butter and add cinnamon on top...Day 1 of day I stopped butter and never even missed it.

#1 Chicken Breasts

1. Prepare brine: salt, white sugar, soy sauce, 1 lemon's juice, handful of chili pepper flakes
2. Place chicken in brine for 2.5-3 hours
3. Pull out of brine - do not rinse off
4. Apply rub of white pepper, a tiny bit of cumin, spicy chili powder, black pepper, paprika, onion salt, granulated garlic and a bit of celery seed
5. Smoke over oak for 30 minutes
6. Grill at ~350 degrees until 165 degrees
7. ????
8. Profit.


I typically bring a pound of this chicken with me to work everyday, makes hitting macros incredibly easy. I change up the rubs and add hot sauce to them on the grill etc. The chicken is so moist and flavorful that you don't need anything with it except some sriracha

I have a traeger pellet grill which allows me to switch from smoking to grilling with a crank of a knob. You can do something similar with a charcoal or propane grill if you soak some oak wood and put it in a tin can and place that near the heat source.

Pizza with Tuna/egg base

-150g canned tuna
-1 egg/2 eggwhites
-seasonings of your choice

looked around in the internet and found this great recipe,which tastes even better than a normal pizza imo.

1. squeeze the water out of the tuna (needs so be really dry,so the base has the desired consistency)
2. combine with eggs
3. Mix everything with a food processor or immersion blender until creamy
4. season with garlic/pepper/salt/whatever
5. put in oven at 200°Celsius for about 10 min
6. top with whatever you like
7. put in oven at 200°Celsius for another 10 min

my favourite toppings are onion/tomato/broccoli and cheese as the base yields alot of taste itself

has anyone made frozen greek yogurt at home using an ice cream maker? I'd like to add in some whey powder for flavoring. Any advice/tips will be greatly appreciated!

no,but my frozen GY bowls always turn out creamy even though i only use a whisk.Try adding some Nut Butter,it really makes the bowl creamy and the constistency is the same as normal ice cream.
try 300g GY,40g Nut Butter,15g Whey,add some water and whip it with a whisk

Fried Chicken on the BBQ (not actually fried)

Ingredients
Chicken Breast
Egg wash (eggs + skim milk)
Coconut flour
Almond Flour (or meal)
Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs
Seasoning (w.e you like)
Extra virigin olive oil


Look into making "fried chicken" on the bbq chicken breast > coconut flour > egg wash > mix of spices/almond flour (or almond meal) plus a little whole wheat bread crumbs (adjust amount of bread crumbs to taste or carb requirements) toss in fridge so it doesnt fall apart (30 min~) little EVOO and right on the grill.**** taste fricken AMAZING and is basically 90% protein/fiber

I seriously think this **** taste better than homemade fried chicken, on top of the fact that its WAY healthier.

pumpkin pie protein pancakes:
1 scoop cinnabun protein powder (vanilla will suffice)
1/4 cup egg whites
1 tbsp milled flax
pumpkin pie spice, I just used a ton of it
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (i'm sure normal milk will work too, but I'm avoiding dairy)
4 heaping tbsp 100% pure unsweetened pumpkin
pinch of baking powder

grease the pan up with a little spray of pam, you don't need much at all or some coconut oil if you want and cook like a pancake. I made them with a tablespoon so they were mini and i could pop them in my mouth. DELISH, you don't need syrup or anything. I tried them with cottage cheese and cinnamon on top and that was pretty good too!

I also tried these subbing the pumpkin with 1/2 an apple and skipping the pumpkin pie spice. I cooked the other half of the apple while I was cooking the pancakes and put it on top of some of them and topped the others with powdered peanut butter. DELISH!

~210 calories, 4 g fat, 9 g carbs, 36 g protein

protein crepes
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup egg whites
2 tbsp milled flax
2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

spray the pan with pam or use some coconut oil and cook them like a thin pancake

~230 calories, 8 g carbs, 7 g fat, 45 g protein

I've tried these 2 ways, the first time i used vanilla protein and put 1/2 a banana in the batter, once i cooked them i topped them with skinny cow chocolate fudge brownie ice cream and the other half of the banana! SO GOOD. that was on my carb up day though, so unfortunately I can't eat that every day

The way I've been eating them now is with myofusion chocolate pb protein, and using unsweetened chocolate almond milk instead of unsweetened vanilla. Once I cook them up I top them with either natty pb or powdered pb. SOSOSOSOSOSO good

Protein pizza crust
6 tbsp milled flax
3 tbsp fat free cottage cheese
1/2 cup egg whites
1 pack artificial sweetener ( i used nutrice (sp?) )

I baked mine in a pie dish for 20 minutes on 300 degrees F

the crust is ~250 calories, 15 g fat, 30 g protein

but it's totally filling and so clean. It can't really compare to REAL pizza, but it's not bad. I made mine at 12 and it's 3 now and I'm not hungry yet

I put 8 oz chicken, a little bit of onion and a little bit of garlic in a food processor, weighed out 85 g of broccoli and then cooked them in 1/4 cup marinara sauce (classico sweet tomato basil) once the crust was done I drained the chicken mixture and topped the pizza with it and then i put another 1/4 cup of marinara sauce in the microwave and topped the chicken mixture with that.
It was pretty good. again, it cant compare to real pizza but it's decent.

hope you guys like them

This looks great, however I am keeping carbs down at the mo....are the oats just for binding purposes or more to fill you up?

mostly for binding purposes, prolly would be fine w/o them. i'd imagine the celery/onions would keep them plenty moist w/o the oats.

I'm sure this isn't anything earth shattering to most people, but I've started making this every day, I love it, beats the protein bar I was having in it's place at work:

1.5 servings Liberte Greek Yogurt (each serving is 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup granola
3 tsp splenda

Mix it all together, tastes freaking awesome, macros work out to:

305 Calories, 3.3g Fat, 41g Carbs, 30g protein

[deutschlove]

20 ounces prepared whole-wheat pizza dough, (see Shopping Tip)
1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon canola oil
8 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, trimmed and diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Place oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out or stretch dough on a lightly floured surface into a rough 16-inch oval. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake on the bottom rack until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk peanut butter, water, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic in a small bowl until well combined.
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add bell pepper, scallions and 1 tablespoon of the peanut sauce to the chicken; toss to combine.
Remove the crust from the oven; spread evenly with the remaining peanut sauce. Top with the chicken mixture, then sprinkle with cheese. Return the pizza to the oven and bake on the bottom rack until the crust is crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 11 to 13 minutes
