An enormous amount of quick hot oatmeal for brunch that contains a calorie count of 771 - but after my 5.75 mile brisk walk this morning...it's well deserved.

Add-ins are 50g blueberries, 20g vanilla isolate whey protein powder, two Zespri SunGold kiwis, 20g raisins and cranberries, tablespoon chia seeds, nutmeg and some honey😃

... and being a 69 year old female I think I did OK 🚶🏾‍♀️

This was so filling and contained 51g of protein 😋

MY BACKGROUND:

Age 69 female 5ft 6ins / HW286lbs-20st6lbs in my 40s / SW160lbs-11st6lbs in Nov 2025 / GW 131lbs-9st5lbs in Mar 2026 / CW124lbs-8st12lbs / 2.5mg on maintenance taking every 25 days (never had to go higher than 2.5mg)

I live on my own and sometimes can't be bothered cooking meals from scratch...so I shop mainly at Aldi, Sainsbury's and Iceland as they stock really tasty healthy ready-made made meals that you can bulk up by adding loads of vegetables to.

Entire calorie content was 510 / carbs 64g / fat 13g / protein 31g

Female, age 69 and living in the UK🚶🏾‍♀️

One for breakfast and one for dessert after my evening meal.

BLUEBERRY & APPLE BAKED OATS

Preheat oven 175⁰C

Lightly grease 2 small OR a medium oven proof dish (mine are 640ml /127mm x 82mm / 5in x 3¼in)

I USE TWO DISHES as one is for my breakfast and the other one a dessert after my evening meal which I'll top with Greek fat free yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds and peanut butter.

INGREDIENTS:

60g rolled oats (blended to flour)

1 tsp nutmeg

20g vanilla isolate whey protein

powder

½ tsp baking powder

160g 0% fat free Greek yogurt

2 tsp runny honey

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

GENTLY FOLD IN:

130g apple grated

70g blueberries + 16g chocolate

drops (keeping some for the top)

Let it stand for 15 minutes

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until brown and a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Leave to cool as the longer you leave to cool the more it sets.

ENJOY😃

...turned out delicious again 😋

F69 in the UK - got out early this morning for my daily morning brisk walk before it gets too hot 🚶🏾‍♀️😎

...and thought it was brilliant. The ending had me at the edge of my seat.

I've got Cineworld Unlimited membership so yesterday watched Michael for the second time with a friend and didn't realise that Michael's father played by Colman Domingo is also in Disclosure Day.

This recipe was provided by another Reddit poster (PinkandTwinkly) and it's delicious.

I added a few more things...125g of grated carrot INSTEAD of 100g as I didn't want to waste it 😃, 30g dried raisins and cranberries INSTEAD of sultanas, 2tsp of desiccated coconut, 20g of vanilla isolate whey protein powder, vanilla extract and a bit more extra nutmeg, 2 teaspoons of runny honey INSTEAD of Stevia.

My extra ingredients has made the calorie and protein counts a bit more higher.

I'm having one for breakfast and the other for a dessert with a vanilla greek yogurt and chia seeds topping.

The nutritional table is for the TWO dishes.

BACKGROUND

68/F - gone past reaching my 'goal' weight (achieved in March this year) and now I'm 9st/126lbs on maintenance. Trying very hard to up my daily calorie intake as my food suppression is still high even though I'm taking 2.5mg every 25 days (I've never had to go any higher than 2.5mg) and soon to dose once a month...and eventually stop.

Had one of these for breakfast (345 calories) and will have the other one as a dessert this evening (345 calories)

CHOCOLATE PROTEIN PUDDING RASPBERRY COCONUT OVERNIGHT WEETABIX

DRY INGREDIENTS:

3 crushed Weetabix biscuits mixed with ½ tsp ground nutmeg + 20g raisins and cranberries + 25g isolate whey protein powder + 7g desiccated coconut + 1 tbsp chia seeds + 12g chocolate drops (keep some to scatter on to topping) - if using 2 dishes, spread this mixture evenly into each one.

THEN POUR OVER:

110ml skimmed milk mixed with 1 tsp vanilla extract and pack down (add a little more milk if not enough)

LEAVE IN FRIDGE WHILE MAKING TOPPING

TOPPING:

Gently fold in 40g of raspberries (frozen or fresh) with 200g Chocolate Protein Pudding and then spread on top of Weetabix mix - scatter over remaining chocolate drops - cover and place in fridge for at least 5 hours...or better still overnight.

I've also made this with 0% fat free Strawberry Greek yogurt.

I had one for breakfast (437 calories) and I'll have the other one as a dessert after my evening meal with a topping of more Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder and chia seeds.
