Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet !

I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc

So just egg whites in the poacher, then sliced?

I added whatever spices or sauces. This one was asian so I did:

5 spice powder

ginger powder

garlic powder

Walden Farms Asian Dressing (1tbsp)

1/2 tsp Sriracha

Pepper

1/8tsp sesame oil

egg whites

*****

the other day I did mexican so I did:

1 tbsp salsa (your choice)

cumin

coriander

garlic powder

pepper

*****

I also did italian

1 tbsp marinara

basil

oregano

garlic

And then either poach em or nuke em in 20second intervals until done. It takes me about 3 intervals in the micro and about 7-9 minutes on the stove top with a lid and barely simmering water.

Made this for the Kid’s breakfast this morning...it was so pretty I had to take a picture of it AND take a bite as well. Broke my no-regular-bread-unless-on-vacay-rule...it was definitely #yum, but I probably would have been just as happy eating the avocado part sans the bread...

Avocado Toast: 1 slice 12-grain bread + 3/4 an avocado + lime juice + onion salt + pepper + smoked paprika.

*No nutritional info this time...I only ate 1 bite of this so am probably just gonna log 1/8 serving of some generic avocado toast entry in MFP.

You gotta! World Market has tons of em right now.

You're gonna go coo-coo for them. Use my recipe or the link in my post here. It tastes just like bread and isn't eggy since there is no yolk in it. I never use yolks in my low carb bread analogues cuz it makes them taste burned and eggy. Yuck. I do use them in Rev Rolls, but protect how brown they get.

Lunch: Today is was chicken parm. Its not the healthiest or lowest calorie meal but i didn't have breakfast so I guess its ok. Actually I haven't even had dinner yet, Ive been running around all day. My bf ate the rest.

ps: I know its weird to put the cheese at the bottom instead of on top of the sauce but I like it sticking to the chicken lol

I hate shopping. There is no amount of money I would save that would make Black Friday worthwhile! (online is a different story, of course)

Ok, so this is a meal that filled me up. Actually stuffed me. I should left 1/4-1/3 on my plate or stopped with having 1oz of avocado rather than 2oz and leftoff the bacon.

I haven’t tried tofu since surgery but if it doesn’t sit well I'm definitely going to try this out! I wonder if it would hold its shape in a stir fry?

yummm hot and sour soup sounds good right about now lol

Yes, I think it will hold up in a stir fry, just make sure it's the last thing added and toss gently.

The texture is almost like a japanese omelette. Very delicate and silky.

If I didn't already have a ginormous salad on my lap right now that I'm working on (we are watching TV!) I would totally make that, dash waffle maker or not! Seriously, that looks effing delicious.

P.S. @FluffyChix...is that a MUG WARMER ?!?!!?!?

You can make these in a normal size waffle maker. Just put 1/4 of the batter in the center of it and press it down. The will make a cute little round shape. It doesn't spread cuz the batter is very thick. Have fun watching TV!!! (It was seriously honking good and 2 hours later I'm still full. Miracle.

Yes. I keep my hot tea and hot coffee on it all day. Also great to keep my broths warm!

*hangs head* I don't have one of these either.

You know, I had one for years and never used it. As we were moving 4 years ago, I put it out for the recycle bin. And didn't have one til the chaffle craze hit. Now I only have my new little Dash but will look for a big one in the thrift stores for $5 or $10 bucks. It's well worth it cuz these taste incredibly like crisp bread (toast) with crevices for "things" to sink in. If i was eating mayo these days, I'd go cray for these. But the avocado was perfect as are the nut butters or even cream cheese or cinnamon bun cream cheese, etc.
