Your best cutting food hacks/ ultra low calorie meals & snacks

I get plain 0% Greek yogurt, throw some ranch seasoning in it, and dip vegetables. I use Greek yogurt for so much shit when losing weight. Takes the place of pretty much all my dairy. Throw feta in it and make a ghetto 'bleu cheese' for chicken, throw it on turkey burrito bowl in place of cheese/sour cream, I've even made a low calorie hollandaise sauce with it. Nonfat Greek yogurt is a divine substance for weight loss.
Low-fat Greek yogurt in general is a wonderful product. You can make sweets from it, you can make salad dressings and sauces from it. And the amount of kcal is minimal. You help me out too when I find kcal at a deficit.

Eating it as we speak. 4oz chicken breasts, half a green pepper, half a red, 1/4 of an onion. Half cup of 0% yogurt and some low sodium taco seasoning. About 370 calories. You can throw some brown rice in with it if you want a bigger meal, too. I prep like 10 of these bowls in like 30 minutes, premix the taco seasoning into the yogurt and you can reheat and scoop the shit in whenever you need a high protein low calorie meal.
Looks delicious, can you elaborate on the recipe and how you cook it?
 
Agree that fat free plain greek yogurt is incredible, as another person said. Take a spoon and mix it with some whey and you have a 40g protein snack/meal! I love it because it is very filling, is basically pure protein. If you wanna add a little extra you can add some blueberries and stevia. Makes for a really nice treat :)

Sweet potatoes are an awesome treat and very versatile.

Frozen peas, still frozen. I like to munch on some frozen peas!

I also use Greek yogurt in place of mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, and sometimes cream cheese. It is extremely versatile. I out greek yogurt on my tacos instead of sour cream. Both sour cream and mayo have always grossed me out. I think they taste bad, lol gross, and are just disgusting. Just weird fat calorie additions. My girl has made deviled eggs with greek yogurt and they were amazing. Potato salad with greek yogurt and it was amazing. Lemon bars/ cheesecakes/pies with greek yogurt. It just ends up being extra protein and tastes the same or better IMO.

Also greek yogurt mixed with baked sweet potato or pumpkin and whey protein isolate and maybe some hydrolyzed collagen is really good too. Especially with some cinnamon and a few raisins in there. It's a great dessert.
You describe it so deliciously that you really want to eat and eat. I was just passing by a supermarket, I refrained from not going in.

Whole chicken breasts in a covered skillet until cooked through, remove and cube.

Cut up as much onion and bell pepper as you want (I go heavy on this) and in the same skillet drop a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the veggies for about 7 minutes. 5 for crunchy veggies, 9 for more fajita-like. Throw a teaspoon of dried oregano on the veggies for each vegetable you cut up (3 peppers and an onion, 4tsp). Salt as needed.

Then I just weigh it all out into portion containers and I have lunches for a week.
 
Good thread. Anytime I want a low calorie sweets binge I pull something off this site. Good recipe hacks.

Nice share, those search sliders let you get real specific, never seen anything like that.

Thank you, I already wrote it down in my notebook and I think today - tomorrow I will try to cook it. Thank's man.

What a great resource, I have a lot of options that I want to try right now.
 
Which ones do you recommend? There’s soo many
The last one I made was the PB/strawberry French toast. It was a couple months ago. But honestly what I normally do is put dessert in the meal type and refine my search. I’ll pick something and make it once as the recipe calls for. And then tweak it to my to my taste and wear it out for a month lol.
 
Just a quick additional for anyone lurking.

Post workouts I'm eating beans with a little chicken, covered in sugar free maple syrup (has like 2 calories per tbsp)

If you throw in fava/broad beans you even get a dopamine increase from them, which is always good on a cycle and when in a defecit.

Very filling and cheap, covers tons of nutrients. (If you don't eat beans start with a small amount, you'll adjust to the fiber and high fiber is good for your health).

The only point from beans fart level can be high. And there is a chance to turn into a farting machine.

And as a result, everything that I didn’t do for baking. Where I put the protein, the product always comes out with the taste of burnt protein. Which is not very tasty.
