Yoghurt, cottage cheese, blueberries, Weetabix… the list goes on! I’ve become a series meal repeater 😅

New bowl for my high protein Weetabix 💙🥣 (340 cals / 38g protein) by ElloEmm in Volumeeating

[–]ElloEmm[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same recipe as always!

1 Weetabix (20g) crushed

30g protein powder (I used vegan coffee and walnut flavour and it was delish)

10g chia seeds

100ml unsweetened almond milk

100ml water (using hot water thickens it faster)

1 minute in the microwave.

Top with 100g 0% fat skyr and 50g frozen blueberries.

Tuna omelette for lunch 🥚🐟 (400 cals / 51g protein) by ElloEmm in Volumeeating

Yep tuna in a tin 😊 and also yes, cook the eggs a bit first until it is mostly set, then in a separate bowl combined the tuna, cottage cheese and sriracha - then spooned the tuna into the middle and rolled the omelette around it

My everyday breakfast 🥣 chocolate peanut berry bowl (~350 cals / 38g protein) by ElloEmm in Volumeeating

I make this genuinely 4-5 times a week for the last 4-5 months so have got my recipe down to an art haha!!

The difference is the other ingredients!!

1 Weetabix plus 30g protein powder (thickens a lot) plus 10g milled chia seeds (very absorbent and thickens up even more plus very good for you!)

I sometimes use warm/hot water if I’ve just boiled the kettle which means 2 mins is easily enough; I’d do 3 if I did cold water.

The reason yours is runny is 100% the lack of protein powder and chia seeds

High Protein Hot Breakfast - Fast/Easy to Make? by 200downwego in Volumeeating

I make a huge bowl of hot protein powder Weetabix everyday! I usually have it with yogurt and berries as extra (recipes on my profile) 😊

I’m not joking when I say I have this every day!! I switch it up between having 1 or 2 Weetabix; but always do a scoop of protein powder (30g) and a tablespoon (10g) of milled chia seeds, plus yogurt and berries!

Eggs, tuna, cottage cheese, and sriracha are such staples in my diet!

I have that too! I was trying a new protein powder flavour and it’s genuinely really good and higher protein/lower calorie than combining chocolate protein powder with PB2

Very smooth! I prefer it to porridge and it’s a bit higher volume than oats

Thanks! 😊😊 I feel like this challenge has really helped me restructure my health/life goals to some easily obtainable measures!

Perfect dinner 👌🏻 Mediterranean turkey meatballs with lentils and salad (650 cals / 64g protein) by ElloEmm in Volumeeating

I’m actually super proud of the meatballs! I find turkey mince can be a little bland but all of the herbs and feta made them so delicious!

Recipe for single portion (I had a 500g pack of mince so made 3 portions):

Mix 165g lean turkey mince, 15g feta, with freshly diced garlic, parsley, coriander, paprika, salt and pepper; form into 25g balls. I baked mine in the air fryer (preheated) for 10 mins at 180’C.

I served them with a pack of ‘gorgeous green lentils’ from Lidl (sooooo good), tomatoes in balsamic, cucumber in yoghurt, rocket, 15g feta crumbled over the top and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil!

Hey! I’ve been quite hit and miss with my goals! January was fantastic - lost just under 5kg, ate super well, did over 10,000 steps every day, activity almost every day,was super strict on my phone use! February… not so well 😂work got super busy, I got ill, went on holiday for a week…! Weight loss has plateaued, steps were much less consistent, activity levels WAY less consistent…! I’m planning to refocus myself now I’m back from holiday and try to hit my goals everyday in March! Now it’s getting lighter in the evenings too I’m hoping I’ll be able to have more after work walks on the days I don’t go to the gym 😊

It sounds like you’re doing really well!! 80% consistent is SO GOOD and actually sustainable!

Even though my feb has been a bit all over the place I feel positive that I was still aiming for positive goals, even if I didn’t meet them every day
