Oat flour pancakes. 40g protein and no protein powder!

I just love oats in all forms. This whole plate (including toppings) is only 450 cals if anyone cares and made from “real” ingredients. Turned out better than expected!!

Recipe:
makes 10 large pancakes which I split into 2 serves (5 pancakes each serve)

-200g egg whites ,
-110g cottage cheese,
-1 whole egg,
-90g oat flour (I use store bought but could easily blend your own, im just lazy and have a terrible cheap blender) ,
-Pinch of baking powder, salt, cinnamon

Teaspoon of vinegar (apparently it helps activate the baking powder and helps make more fluffy, they were very fluffy so I think it works?)

Sweetner to taste (I only added about 1/2 tbsp)

Cook on a pre heated non stick pan (I didn’t use butter or oil) until little bubbles appear and flip.

Topped with plain Greek yogurt, microwaved berries , sugar free maple syrup. 10/10!!

Not sure if this is classic volume but a super decent portion with really good macros !! Made from whole foods + “normal” ingredients

I’m lazy in the kitchen so I didn’t bother blending anything, just mixed it all in a bowl . First time trying cottage cheese pancakes and thought it might be lumpy but once cooked I Couldn’t taste the cottage cheese! Made about 4-5 large fluffy pancakes per serve.

Not listed in the ingredients was about 3G baking powder, pinch of salt, vanilla essence + sweetener drops (I would probably use a bit more next time or granulated sweetener as well)

Cooked on a pre heated non stick pan with no added butter/oil. Really impressed!

When you say you did “cardio” after your workout or in general, at what intensity are you referring too?

I often hear ppl say they do a strength session and end with “cardio” but the cardio they’re referring too is just a walk on the treadmill or something and while I’m not disputing that’s cardio, I personally wouldn’t consider it as part of my cardio. When I say I do cardio I’m referring to something that’s probably more intense like ski/air bike intervals or stair master at a high level (14-16 for me) where I am to get my HR into at least zone 2 or 3. I wouldn’t consider walking as part of my cardio sessions but I want to hear others thoughts and how sustainable a “hard” cardio session is daily

Has anyone tried these?

Mainly concerned about them causing gut upset..? I’m used to a lot of fiber but have heard horror stories about konjac!

If ur making low cal pints, would you rather a better creami base with higher cals or better mix ins for higher cals.

Curious! Not sure whether to make my base more indulgent but would then sacrifice my mix ins..

If you dare brave the stair master, what level are you doing and for how long?

Also do you do it the same day you lift or separate it all together? I’ve been doing 40-45 mins alternating between level 14-16. Hr 140-50. (I’m overall pretty fit and just use the stepper after strength training to cross train with running) and it low key kills me. I find the 45 mins much harder than even a 90 min run at a 5:30/km pace. Any thoughts/experiences with the stepper? I’ve only recently started incorporating it and it’s brought my zone 2 HR (same pace) for my runs..

Chocolate apple oat squares💩

Kinda looks like a plop but turned out so good in terms of taste and texture. So fudgey and a really good snack post gym with a side of Greek yogurt and berries . Just microwaved the apple till soft, mashed it and then added the other ingredients in the slide. Was too lazy to turn the oven on so just chucked it in the air fryer at 160° until a knife came out clean. Was still slightly wet when I took it out but it firmed up in the fridge overnight:)

Fractured my wrist. Alternative strength training exercises?

Freaking out as I’m in a muscle gain phase (surplus) and have been following a strict build phase workout plan. 2 x upper body days, 2 x lower. My minds gone blank on exercise alternatives that I can do without the use of my wrist (in a splint) what would u do?

Cheats version of congee? First time making it and I’m intimidated!

Any quick “cheat” versions of a congee inspired dish? Preferably something quick and easy ! I could buy raw rice but I have packet rice on hand which would make things easier.. obviously wouldn’t be an authentic version but something along those lines!

I tried it. Fropro lava cake. 6/10

It’s good. I enjoyed it but nothing special. Just tastes like a regular cake but softer. The caramel is good but could just add a low cal sugar free sauce to a normal slice of cake and it would be just the same. 15g protein but 37g carbs which personally I’m not bothered by but I know others would. Decent size and a nice treat but not worth the money in my opinion! I had it with a dollop of Greek yogurt and some strawberries which definitely made it better!

My weekend savoury oat pot. This time with a soft poached egg instead of tofu .

Same recipe as last week. My pretty chilli flake decoration got ruined by me trying to get a yolk shot. 10/10. Stuffed

Prawn dumpling miso noodle and veg soup. Ultimate volume.

Okay so this whole meal including the salad is roughly 950 cals but most people wouldn’t be able to eat this in one sitting. It also has 80g protein. This meal could easily serve 4, my house mate saw me cooking and thought i was making dinner for us all. Nope, just for me. The noodle soup bowl in itself is about 750 calories including 90g (raw weight) of real soba noodles + added the black bean noodles for even more volume . Mixed together I couldn’t tell a difference. I then added about half a kilo of veg + 70g edamame beans+ these dumplings which are 120 cals per 100g (about 5 dumplings) . I added 125g prawns. Sauce was 20g white miso paste, 20g soy sauce, 15g fish sauce, 10g rice wine vinegar, a pinch of sweetner, a squeeze of lime , fresh ginger, garlic and onion.

Salad has more veg/leafs, beets, avo, pickles, tomatoes, can of corn , raw coleslaw , sesame dressing + sweet chilli sauce

*I’m currently eating in a surplus but coming out of a restriction phase the hunger is still wild so this much food is a dream*

130 cals 18g Protien lemon jelly (jello) yogurt parfait

The actual jelly yogurt part is only 30 cals per serve. I added 50g fresh strawberries, another 100g non fat Greek yogurt and 5g soy crisps on top which added another 100 cals.

I used lemon sugar free jelly or jello for the Americans . Made as per packet in-structures, allowed to cool then added the yogurt . Poured into 4 jars and set in the fridge. When I was ready to eat I added my toppings. Good meal prep lil dessert option. In future I think I would add some more sweetness to the Greek yogurt I put on top. I was expecting the jelly to be sweet enough which it was but I wanted a lemon pie type vibe and the tartness of the Greek yogurt didn’t cut the vibe so will add some sugar free maple syrup or vanilla protein powder to sweeten the yogurt topping in future!

150> protien cheesecake jars . 17g protein

My little post gym snack . One graham cracker sheet per jar. Mixed the yogurt/cream cheese and protien together + sweetner which I didn’t track but about a teaspoon (to taste) . Super easy and simple. Obviously not a great serving size especially as someone who loves volume eating but definitely hit the spot.

I was the only one in my gym this morning for about 40 mins. Got me kind of anxious tho?

So it’s a bank holiday weekend but I like training early regardless so was in there at 6am for my usual session. I was the only one for the first 40 mins and honestly I didn’t like it. I go to a 24hr gym so it’s only staffed during certain hours. I kept thinking “what if I drop this weight and cause injury myself , what if I passed out” like possibly irrational fears but it just felt weird and uncomfortable being the only one there! I felt such a sense of relief when someone else showed up. Anyone have a similar experience?

I’m a female 22, that may be part of my concern of being alone

Doesn’t look pretty but 1000% delicious and wholesome. Savoury egg white, miso , tofu and veg oats

Made on the stove top for the first time in months ! (Usually always just microwave but went the extra mile today) eaten straight out of the pot because why waste more dishes. Absolutely huge portion for ~500 cals + 45g protein

Air fried a silken tofu blob to go on top, normally I’d use an egg but the tofu was about to expire and needed eating. Also added nutritional yeast for more flavour. Veg added was zucchini, tomatoes, spring onions + kale/spinach .

Moving to just one swim a week. Can I maintain?

So it’s coming into winter here in Australia and my local pool is outdoors (heated year round but I’m still finding the motivation to get it extremely hard especially on really windy and rainy mornings, I’m cold even tho I’m swimming continuously and incorporating sprints but the cold breeze really hits!! )

I currently swim 2 x a week long swims (90mins 5km) and then 2 x a week shorter swims (just 1km 20 mins after my runs as a cool down )

I run 2 x a week and also strength train 3 x a week and was thinking of moving this to 4 times a week instead of one of my swims however I don’t want to regress in my training.

Any opinions would be appreciated, also how to stay warm during rainy cold swims??!
