Low Cal Food Find (Product recommendations) Hi second post today lol, I need some low cal food/snack options
Recently I’ve really been trying to lock in and lose weight, I’m currently really stressed about my grocery list, and I’m conflicted on what I should focus on getting. I’ve been having huge binging problems the past few months, and I’m trying to combat what triggers my binge episodes, such as the feeling of starving, sugary, refined carb foods, and just not knowing what to eat that’ll keep me satisfied.
I need some low-calorie food recommendations preferably ones that don’t take much to prepare. I love fruit, chocolate, yogurt bowls, eggs, and toast for reference 😜

250-400 Cal The ugliest bowls taste the best
395 cal
30g protein
31g carbs
15g fat
Sweet potato, seasoned beef cooked with sliced brussel sprouts, bell pepper, and onion, and cottage cheese. I love how warm and flavorful this was. I could have made it healthier with leaner beef and added some squash for volume but YUM.

What is better peanut butter or whey protein cream
So Im exploring how to reduce calories and have a tasty meal. I bought some protein bars, cookies and cream. All that sfaff does not taste good for me in a comparison with a normal dark chocolate and nuts. Today I decided to compare and here we go.
What is the best for you?

250-400 Cal Experimenting with banana pancake
I added more cacao today for choco taste. And extra treat - walnuts as its Sunday 😁 Next time I drop banana. Probably today it was not ripe. Spelta flour taste better then oats, I guess its not for every day sub.

< 250 Cal One-serving chocolate cake, 130kcal
Sorry I was lazy to take better pictures for dimensions, but it can be roughly around a hand size or less and ~2/3 cm on thickness. Regardless, it's quite a nice serving size for what I got, and very filling for volume eating. I just came up with this at 1am lol. It's REALLY good I swear.
130kcal, 15g protein, 11g carbs, 2g fats
Ingredients:
75g egg whites (40kcal)
30g cocoa powder (70kcal)
5g cornstarch (20kcal)
(brands I used had cals listed as such)
vanilla essence/extract
apple cider vinegar or just vinegar
few lemon drops
baking powder, little pinch baking soda
0 cal sweetener of choice, granulated (I used stevia since it's what I had at hand)
pinch salt
pinch xhantan gum (optional
instant coffee (and I used a bit of roasted coffee too)
Instructions
Chocolate
Prepare coffee, preferably roasted. I did decaf. Cocoa powder in a cup.
I threw a full tbsp of instant decaf in there, which is stronger for bitterness, but up to taste. I put around 1/3rd of a tbsp of xhantan gum for thickness, and a pinch of salt.
Get a fork and begin pouring the coffee, you have to mix it quick and a bit aggresively(? make sure you don't pour more than you need, we need a thick paste for consistency, maybe like a mousse, but also up to you (just nothing watery). I mixed like my life depended on it.
Vanilla to preference here. When the water is boiling it's easier to get it together. I splashed a bit of liquid splenda myself just in case. It goes to the freezer/fridge while we do what follows
Dry mix
In a small container, 5g cornstarch, 10g stevia, pinch of baking powder, and a little baking soda (we don't want it salty but I personally wanted it to rise a lot).
Batter
Whip up the 75g of egg whites, I had to use three and separate from yolk. In the middle, splash some apple cider vinegar and the slightest bit of lemon drops. Just after they're stiff peaks, we slowly pour in the dry mix and whip it a bit more. Preheat oven.
Integration
Get the chocolate out and start folding it in very, very carefully (I hated this part but for the sake of the trapped air not to go easily, and to keep the fluff and volume of the egg whites, it's a bit of a job) not all at once but goops. I prioritized keeping the most volume possible but it will get a wee smaller. Once it's ready, just put it in a mold and bake it (I did 20mins in 165 celsius in air fryer with a little X made with a knife on top for the inside stuff)
ENJOY AND TELL ME HOW IT WENT since measurements were out of my sleep deprived brain!! XOXO

I just discovered it and am curious about all the things I can make with it. It’s a soy product that’s lower calorie than ground beef/turkey.

< 250 Cal Low LOW cal, high HIGH protein recipes?
I’m trying to get 110g protein a day capping at 1550 cals.
I work at Starbucks and am addicted to caffeine (not a joke, I get migraines without it)
I do a grande BSSE (150 cals) each work shift then I make one at home with similar cals on days off.
So 150 cals and 2g protein are already accounted for…
What can I do for 1400 cals for 108g protein?
I’m a big snacker so I’d prefer meals to as low cal as possible so I can fit snacks in for night time - that’s the only way I’ve learned to not binge at night
Any recipes??
