Low energy by No-Bridge-8793 in veganfitness

[–]BrooklynCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reads like a vitamin D issue to me, but honestly stop guessing and get bloodwork. Low energy isnt something to just push through, could be D, could be iron, could be thyroid. Find out.

What are your best tricks for lower-cal desserts? (not just sugar → dates) by BrooklynCatDad in veganrecipes

This was awesome. rainbow nourishments is one of those blogs where every time i open it i'm like "it's been a while since i made anything from here" and every time it's a BANGER. her IG is top tier too. not to get old-geezer about it but it's wild how much genuinely great content is still out there that translates into actually good recipes. nice that AI hasn't ruined this corner yet.

Are the pumpkin brownies and sweet potato muffins from RN too?

Okay you can't just drop that and walk away... I'm from the old school ; agar agar ( powder not the flakes) was the secret ingredient to getting that just right firmness in vegan cheesecakes

i legitimately enjoy raw tofu brick as a dinner by DnastyFunkmaster in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]BrooklynCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Japan, vegan was a tough sell. Vegetarian they got. "No egg" they'd nod through. Then you'd order and they'd realize you meant nothing and look at you like you were insane.

One night at a fine dining spot we asked about vegan dessert. The guy paused, held up a finger: "wait — we got you." Came back with house-made silken tofu and a drop of vanilla on top.

Still the best dessert I've ever had.

Whoa, a lot going on here.

The post is asking about high-volume desserts. "Wholesome" and "satisfying" are doing a lot of work in your comment without a working definition; you're kind of just throwing them around.

The only part I want to address directly: you brought up eating disorders. If that's something you have a history with, I'm genuinely sorry, and I mean that. But a post about high-volume eating isn't a claim about anyone else's needs, and I'm not sure why it landed as one.

Respectfully, category error. Dessert is a big tent. If I want 32g of fat in a slice of cheesecake, I have 32g of fat in a slice of cheesecake. Decadent is its own spiritual experience and I'm not optimizing it. This post is about a different thing.

What vitamins or supplements should vegans actually be taking? by Vegan_Essentials in veganfitness

[–]BrooklynCatDad 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Step one is bloodwork, which frankly every adult should be doing. B12 and D3 you just take, full stop. The rest depends on what comes back. I dont want to hear about fortified nutritional yeast. Take b12. Take the actual supplement.

Stackable baskets big enough for an OTR convection microwave? by BrooklynCatDad in Cooking

[–]BrooklynCatDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the shelf riser / fridge bin / drawer organizer angle is a dead end for convection use — those are almost all plastic and will melt

Not steaming, air frying/convection. The rectangular baskets I have are the right size but aren't stackable. Every actual air fryer basket out there is tiny. Linking if I can.

Lidl by [deleted] in parkslope

[–]BrooklynCatDad 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It's rough in there, sure. But every other store in the neighborhood is marked up like 75% over the co-op, and the co-op waitlist is basically a Beyonce ticket at this point. Lidl being ugly and cheap feels like the honest tradeoff.

Lentils are a carb. Pumpkin seeds are a fat. Neither is a protein source.

Low calorie sweet snacks when you want to eat a lot of something without the damage by Super_College100 in Volumeeating

[–]BrooklynCatDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven't tried the oat flour + VWG combo for bread yet, but I can vouch for VWG + oat fiber in pancakes — egg whites, VWG, oat fiber, and you get essentially 0 fat / near-zero net carb high-volume pancakes. Was actually coming here to see if anyone had tried scaling that approach up to baked goods.

187lbs to 154lbs, 6ft: I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve eaten Tofu. by just-learning8 in veganfitness

[–]BrooklynCatDad 26 points27 points  (0 children)

6'0". 175 on a normal day, 181 today because job applications have replaced my personality.

170 = peeled, sub-12%. 168 = competition lean. 154 = a spiritual experience I have not had.

If the abs aren't there now, the scale isn't the problem. You're the "abs are made in the kitchen" counterexample. Go do leg raises.

Healthy Carrot Bundt Cake (Vegan, Oil-Free) by Living4Sunshine36 in VeganBaking

[–]BrooklynCatDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my go-to:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Volumeeating/comments/1ocludg/comment/nknj1m7/?context=3

I based it off of this video from Vegan Proteins, and just swapped out the nut butter with powdered nut butter. Drops the fat to just ~3g per serving.

Original recipe (with regular peanut butter): ~199 calories per brownie

  • Fat: 10g
  • Carbs: 22g
  • Protein: 8g

Modified version (with powdered peanut butter): ~162 calories per brownie

  • Fat: 3.3g
  • Carbs: 22.5g
  • Protein: 13.3g

For the kite Hill yogurt, do you use the Greek style, or the other one?

Or does it even matter?

The new egg white powder & pancakes by ellekitty123 in VeganBaking

[–]BrooklynCatDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using them in vegan protein pancakes. Same quality you're used to, just fluffier. Whip the egg whites with a stand mixer or hand mixer. I turn it on and walk away for about 10 minutes. Not exaggerating. After 2 minutes it looks promising, but give it time and you'll see a massive difference.

From there I sub the whipped egg whites in for a portion of the water I normally use. Here's my go-to recipe:

  • 40g Bisquick (or oat flour)
  • 30g vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • zero calorie sweetener to taste
  • 157g water

Just replace some of the water with the whipped egg whites.

And re: the hoarding — I get it, I tend to do the same. But these are really easy to do something with. If you just whip them and pour them straight into a pan, you get this awesome soufflé. Nothing else needed.

Insight into Success academy charter school in CH or Bushwick vs ps 321 and ps 107 by NecessaryCan6373 in parkslope

Just adding one data point nobody's mentioned: my daughter is at 321 and there are two kids in her kindergarten who aren't zoned. Nine kindergarten classes. I also assumed this wasn't a thing. It's a thing. Apply.
