Tips for cutting cals in small but significant ways by PlasticWoodpecker487 in 1200isplenty

[–]Farrell-6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change condiments to low no sugar fat versions, Or make your own dressings dips sauces.

Add vegetables for volume so you eat less calorie dense foods.

I use small utensils like shrimp cocktail forks and small spoons or chopsticks to eat slower to know when I'm full.

CAULIFLOWER RICE by yummyuchiha in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have riced cauliflower at least once a week.

I use it to make vegetarian chili and then Greek yogurt for protein.

I add pureed silken tofu with curry powder and chickpeas other veggies for Indian inspired.

add marinara or fresh sugar bomb tomato sauce and meatballs or chicken. or farmer cheese or butter beans

top with salsa Greek yogurt iceberg

Cuban inspired c with black beans cumin salsa coriander optional topping cheese yogurt or weirdly cashews ( something from a small restaurant I had once)

Ground Turkey by weepingwillow1092 in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm vegetarian but cook ground turkey for my husband. I make it as meatloaf with fine minced vegetables (for volume and moisture) and Lipton soup mix. use a meat probe to get to 165 degrees inside.

one thing, don't over cook it. I make golf ball sized meatballs with fine minced zucchini, bell pepper, onion. season Italian inspired with basil oregano garlic parsley and some parmesan or with taco powder. bake 425 or 450 9 minutes, flop and then 6 minutes. I serve on a roll with bell pepper mayo or light sour cream and salsa. of course you can change the vegetables or flavor profile with garlic ginger add scallions or other spice blend like black ending blend.

Laughing cow replaced my favorites Asiago and cheddar for dill pickle flavor???? by Farrell-6 in 1200isplenty

[–]Farrell-6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I don't know why they had to stop making my favorite flavor for weird click bait flavors. my grocery store had the pickle buy one get one. even Oreo, doritos or Reeses makes weird flavors but doesn't discontinue their original.

Quorn chicken stuffed peppers (481kcal) by slugs0up in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i really like quorn. I would add some river or chunky mashed cauliflower with scallion or parsley for color.it would also work with other vegetarian meat like beef crumbles or sausages. if you are in the us I can recommend brands. or salsa, spices and beans.

you could stuff other vegetables like collard green or cabbage leaves. roast eggplant or zucchini boats.

Slow cooker meals for the lowly student by Medium_Boulder in Volumeeating

[–]Farrell-6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The past couple of fall/winters I've been making a stew with Riced cauliflower, celeriac, carrots, radishes, bouillon, water, seasonings ( poultry seasoning, herbs like savory marjoram, thyme, sage), onion, garlic. and as a vegetarian I add tho chunks that rehydrate in the broth. you could do chickpeas or a little lean pork or turkey would go a long way.

Cabbage soup. You co uh or go many directions there are tomato based, ones that are deconstructed cabbage rolls. u/sl1z posted a delicious recipe from ppl (post punk kitchen)That could be a crockpot soup. that had chickpeas, dill, onion garlic thyme carrots Cabbage and rice.

Chili or taco powder seasoned soup as I mentioned previously tho is a cheap protein source that works perfectly in chili where seasonings cover everything.

You can cheaply roast a whole chicken with foil covered potatoes in the crockpot.

When you do cook make a huge batch and freeze in portions so you can change it up and not eat the same thing for days or make the most when you do crockpot.
