1. smash ground chicken into a low carb tortilla (I used 2/3 of a pound of chicken between three mission carb balance tortillas).
2. Season the chicken with your seasoning of choice.
3. put tortilla chicken side down on a medium-high heat sprayed with oil for a couple minutes (it is done cooking when the side of the chicken touching the tortilla is no longer pink).
4. Put any toppings you like (I used dill pickles, tomato, red onion, and a drizzle of barbecue sauce).
5. Fold and enjoy!

get mission carb balance tortilla, spray oil and sprinkle salt. air fry for 7-8 minutes at 350 F. get a can of white albacore tuna. drain it, mix it with half a lime, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, taco seasoning, paprika, and finely shredded cilantro. put the tuna on the air fried tortilla, squirt lime juice. 220 calories, 38 grams of protein (recipe courtesy of my starved, Mexican food desiring body on a calorie deficit :/).

All this for right around 600 calories. Huge portion and leaves room for dessert!

The over easy egg is a must for this one - the yolk makes a sauce which makes you forget it‘s chicken breast. I paired it with Habanero Yellow Bird hot sauce but any hot sauce would do

I’ve been experimenting with vegan cheeses using cashew based, cauliflower, tofu riccotta and my favorite is silken tofu mozzarella that melts using carageenan. I use sauces from primal kitchen as well as plain tomato and fresh basil cashew cream sauce. Some other toppings I enjoy are seitan pepperoni, spinach, artichoke and tomato.

The ingredients make us believe it is healthy, do you think it is really healthy? What snack is healthier than this ???

I tried out a recipe i made up with zucchini cocoa powder and coffee. The taste and the texture was like chocolate puding :0 it was pretty good but a bit too heavy chocolatey after a while xD i would do it again if we have any leftover single zucchinis again (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

RECIPE
12 grams whisked egg
20 grams stevia
15 grams flour
8 grams cocoa powder
2 grams baking powder
3 grams melted butter
15 ml of 6 gr coffee + 100 ml water
97 gram zucchini

1- mix the egg stevia and melted butter then add coffee and mix again
2- mix flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in a separate bowl
3- add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix by folding
4- add shredded zucchini and fold again
5- bake around 25 minutes at 170 celsius (make sure to check cus every oven is different xD )

Notes!!
when u first mix dry with wet the batter will be very dry but dont worry cus adding zucchini makes it really wet and moist
It has a dark chocolate puding taste so if u like it sweeter u can lower the coffee and cocoa amount or add more sweetener. Adjust to ur taste basically xP

Idk what to call this. Reminds me of that dessert they make in Hispanic cultures, but, I can’t think of the name right now . It just tastes good & is low in calories . Tastes like a orange creamsicle dessert 😋

just popped a salmon fillet and a sliced sweet potato in the air fryer for 18 minutes at 400°. i then mixed just the salmon meat with some greek yogurt and added parsley for color. i put that over a low cal english muffin that i split in 2. ended up not using the sauce on the plate lol

Started counting calories after a failed keto stint (due to not counting calories). Wanted to lose 10 lbs a month at 240 pounds. Apparently that meant I would need to have ~900 calories a day. But I did some Reddit scrolling and discovered that 900 calories is definitely not a healthy calorie deficit and I wasn’t feeling full anyways.. so I’m trying my hand at volume maxxing instead at 1300 calories with light activity. What do we think? 🙂

I’ve perfected this recipe to the point where if calories didn’t exist I would still choose this over a typical dessert. It tastes way too decadent to be under 250 cals, super rich!! The full thing was about the size of an iPhone and thickness depends on how much you spread it out/pan used, honestly larger than the pics show.
