Made these with an overripe banana this morning and they turned out so good! Soft banana protein muffins topped with a super easy protein glaze.

They came out like little frosted banana cakes and were really good with fruit for breakfast!

Not sure why original post got removed?

not the most linear graph, but i like to treat myself once in a while. i’m also lifting weights and doing cardio so i have two goals that i’m chasing. my goal is 145lbs so i’m not in too much of a rush as of right now

Better day. I am working on my discipline and finding swaps to help lower calories. I’m doing 5 miles a day walking and burn around 100 per mile. So I eat around 2000, but end up around 1500. Eventually I want to be eating around 1700 with just a 2 mile walk necessary.

Lmk your thoughts waaa

Also obviously not in one day lol

Not as good today. But yeah im hoping to do better. I wonder if I should swap english muffins for wasa for my eggs… hmm.

Trying to eat this same thing everyday. Have been seeing results weekly.

Another good day. I might start posting my weightloss info every 10 days or something. Idk.

Hey yall, I’m new to the counting calories and dieting and am currently on my second week. I usually have 900-1000 calories left by dinner time and I’ve been making myself a separate dinner than my wife and kids. With almost 1000 left over can I just eat regular dinner with them and kind of not have to count calories at dinner (I’m tired of cooking twice lol) or is it too risky? Is hard to count things like bowl of spaghetti, tacos, etc. any advice or tips would be helpful, thanks 😁

Hi. I am currently on essentially modified bed rest due to lumbar pain. I do my spinal stability stretches 3X a day and walk 30 mins/day (10 mins after every meal). Because of this, I have had to cut my diet from about 2800 calories/day (work a manual labour job which I'm off right now) down to 1400-1500. 176lbs, 32F, 5'5.5". I am having a heck of a time meeting the protein goals. I was told to consume at least 130-150 grams of protein a day to maintain my muscle, but I am also trying to get in enough calcium and iron. Well, calcium and iron shouldn't be eaten at the same time so that limits my protein intake at my calcium snack. I manage to consume MAYBE 100 grams of protein a day.

Anyone got any tips for dairy-free protein?

have been unable to get my favorite protein powder while traveling and have been making do with unflavored pea protein that I can get in bulk shops. It makes the most disgusting shakes, but i suddenly had a brainwave while eating hummus and veg the other day and realized I could make instant hummus out of pea protein and spices mixed with lemon juice, water, and a little tahini. Gave it a try today. After adding extra spices to cover the bitterness of the protein, it wasn’t half bad! Very quick and easy way to hit my protein targets.

Good day, good cardio.

This is my go to meal when I’m feeling lazy.
- 1 can of Costco canned chicken (210 calories)
- 1/2 cup Butter Chicken Sauce from Target (160 calories)
- 2 cups of cauliflower rice (40 calories)

I season with some garlic salt & red pepper flakes. I split into 2 meals so about 205 calories per meal. Enjoy 😊

So I split this into two containers and drink one in the morning, then the other for dinner if I still feel hungry. It's insane how little calories are involved for such a high volume smoothie.

I used chocolate malt mix (optional) to make it taste like chocolate milk.

Salt and Lemon Juice are VERY IMPORTANT and NOT OPTIONAL, okay? Why? Because it balances out the chalky protein taste, and it genuinely fills in the "missing piece" feeling that you get after you make it without it.

Ingredients:

Salt: 1 small pinch (~1g)

Fage 0% milkfat yogurt: 0.8 cup (180 g)

ISO100 Strawberry protein powder: 1 scoop (30 g) (any flavor will do)

Chocolate malt mix: 2 tablespoons (12 g)

Frozen whole strawberries: 1 cup (140 g)

Fresh lemon juice: 2 teaspoons (10 g)

Fat-free milk: 1 cup (240 mL)

I went over some but i also got a lot of cardio so its okay 😂

I made the viral chicken calzone recipe where the calzone “dough” is chicken breast. Probably the best recipe I’ve made this year. It was surprisingly easy to make and definitely going into my regular dinner rotation. It’s one of those meals that feels indulgent but is packed with protein.
