I was really wanting a parfait, but the ones here are 250-300 cals and as someone who saves most of her calories for nighttime, for dinner with my family/sister/friends, that reaaaally didn’t work into my cal budget. So I made this low cal one!
I was craving apple crisp like HELL. It’s what my grandma used to make for me as a child and I’ve been really missing it.
So I made this, it’s pretty filling! Super warm, cozy and tasty.
Here’s what you’ll need!
-an apple (calories may vary)
-0 cal cooking spray
-oats (calories may vary)
-low calorie ice cream of your choice (calories may vary)
-cinnamon
-milk (calories may vary on brand)
I will show you all the brands I used to make mine so low cal! What I like about this recipe is that it’s so versatile. (:
First step is I chopped my apple in cubes, added my cashew milk, sprinkled some cinnamon and microwaved it until it became all gooey and soft. Then I added some zero cal cooking spray to my oats and microwaved them acting as the “butter” on a plate I scooped up my apples, and placed them down. Then I added my oats on top, and microwaved it again for about 45 seconds. I added ¼ cup salted caramel ice cream on top (arctic zero, SO GOOD.) it’s really good for this. Then I added the rest of the mixture from the cooked apple and drizzled in on top. This was SO yummy and filled me up. It’s a really satisfying dessert for only 121 calories (rounding it up to 125 for the cinnamon sprinkle) which is half the amount of a protein bar (my weakness) and a pretty good portion size!
Before my ED, I never drank coffee. If I did I’d dump a lot of sugar and milk. I’d dip my toast in it. It was my favourite. Over time I drank it black, I hated it. I see old videos of myself when I was overweight or had just started to lose weight and I see myself holding coffee cups. I hated the taste and at the moment I’d scrunch up my nose and wish it was a chai latte, or white hot chocolate.
Then after a while I started adding Splenda, it became more bearable. I liked it more that way, then once I was on vacation in my grandmas small down and in the diner there, they had no Splenda. So I started drinking it black again, and began to like it. My palate was still sensitive though, so I’d have a list of places with the black coffees I’d prefer.
I started to LOVE black coffee, I can even drink a&w coffee black and I don’t even notice how strong it is. If you didn’t know, the black coffee at a&w is apparently very strong to my friends, my mom even has to water it down with warm water when we go for breakfast there.
Now, I can’t imagine myself drinking the old sugary drinks I used to. Hot chocolate is a big no unless I make it myself with cocoa powder and a little bit of Splenda but even then I barely add any because now I just really like strong, plain coffee.
I also learned to love almonds, i could eat a whole bag. When I was little I’d avoid them like the plague, i thought it was the most bland disgusting food, EVER.
My ED has caused me a lot of problems, a lot of pain. Don’t get me wrong I fucking wish I could make it vanish. Complete HELL.
The only thing I suppose I’m kinda thankful for that it has given me is that I’ve learned the lesson to appreciate food. No matter how bland, I’m not picky and greedy anymore.
My taste buds have changed a lot.
My view on food has changed even more and I’ve changed the most.
I added salt, cinnamon, which i don’t count! Also you can add Splenda and such but I hate the taste of Splenda in baked goods so that’s why I used the honey, that and the banana will make it naturally sweet!
Total for the whole recipe: 620 calories
I separated into 4 because I wanted a big piece (155 cals and it’s HUGE) and added vanilla halo top! So good
This tastes exactly as if the pumpkin pie blizzard from DQ and a banana shake had a love child. I’m REALLY craving pumpkin spice flavoured things so I made this!
- ½ cup almond milk (15)
-¼ cup pumpkin purée (17.5)
-½ a small banana (45)
-butter extract, optional! (0)
-cinnamon and pumpkin spice (calories will vary but I don’t count cals in spices)
The pumpkin spice is also optional, but the cinnamon makes it REALLY good. I added a lot because I’m obsessed w cinnamon but adding a lot makes it amazing.
So, I tried making a low cal peanut butter cookie with pb2, pb fit, etc but it was just TERRIBLE and not satisfying at all. I was about to just give up and eat like 5 tablespoons of peanut butter straight from the jar but then I found THIS GEM and I am IN LOVE. It tastes indentical, literally identical to a normal peanut butter cookie you’d have on Christmas. Kid you not. The best part is that it’s low ingredient and SUPER easy and fast. I’m so exited about this guys
You’ll need:
-1 tbsp peanut butter better Crocker cookie mix (I also put it on my food scale it ended at 53 cals)
-2tbsp oat fiber (maybe 1 and a half if you’re sensitive to the texture easily but when I made it with 2 it tasted AMAZING. Than again I really don’t mind the textured oat fiber)
-pinch of salt
-pinch of baking soda
Usually when I make cookies that are low cal I add stevia so at the end it has that fake sugar taste but for this, the ready made mix already has sugar so no fake stevia taste. BLESS. (We deserve real sugar, even if it might be scary! I promise it’s okay.)
Anyway!! Mix all dry ingredients, I added give or take 1 tbsp of water. Just eyeball it that’s what I did! But make sure it’s not too watery.
Microwave for one minute and let cool for three minutes ish and
We need a blueberry emoji. Seriously but anyway! I’m sure many of you have heard of or seen this and I always kinda pushed it to the side but PLEASE try it!
All I used for this is blueberries and low fat yogurt, I plopped the blueberries in and then put it on parchement paper to freeze!
-1 container blueberries (78 cals)
-1 container low fat yogurt (35 cals)
Whole recipe= 113 cals!!
This is so good and refreshing. It’s also like a really yummy version of frozen yogurt!! Only much more satisfying. It took me an hour to eat tbh because it gave me brain freeze a lot and I took my time. Also blueberries are really good for you and the yogurt has protein, so even though I wasn’t hungry I didn’t feel bad. I HIGHLY suggest this if you feel like you’re going to binge, but it was so filling i would consider this two portions if you’re just looking for a snack. If you have half it’s only 57 cals!! Say safe loves.
I just made the best THING EVER. THIS WHOLE PLATE IS ONLY 152 CALS.
So ive tried to like angel hair/zero/shirataki noodles for ages but I can’t. Call me dramatic but It makes me want to cry and I just cannot get past the gross texture so I looked into RICE NOODLES. But my secret for bulk is bean sprouts, boiled!! Mixing them with the noodles (and the best part is you don’t need many noodles just keep them long and don’t break them apart for it all to mix together nicely!) and BOOM. Big bowl of cozy and normal texture noodles!! As you can see I added other things for bulk and flavour like veggies, sauces (these are my low cal ones I mix them!) and of course siracha thing (in my opinion it’s better ) it’s also really good wth crunchy veggies like cucumber, carrots and Kimchi!! It’s also super filling!! You can see how much it fills a plate next to my hand (: anyway! Enjoy
omg i just found out why my ex best friends dropped me! it’s because i was being too “negative” all the time (aka depressed and literally suicidal) and she didn’t want to deal with me! because it’s not her responsibility! (her exact words btw) But when she was “depressed” i would talk with her for 2+ hours on the phone to make her feel better. the other one dropped me because me and my family “treated her like a pet” ???? what does that even mean. does she mean when we drove to her house at 10 at night to pick her up because she was having a panic attack? or does she mean the trip i took her on for my birthday? maybe she means when we took care of her for a week when my mom cleaned up her dogs shit and piss all over the floor. It’s like i treat people with the utmost respect and love. then they treat me like i’m some disgusting freak of nature. :P
just asked my guy friend if he wants to hang out with me for the first time (as friends) and he said “ew never” he knows i have no other friends. not gonna eat for the next 3 days. that shit burned. i’m not even attracted to him or anything. i’m just that repulsive i assume.
Thank god for those diet pills man. I barely ate anything during Thanksgiving!! All I had was like to small pieces of ham and a couple spoonfulls of cream corn then I went to work and probably burned most if now all the cals!!
I’m also starting adhd meds that r suppose to make me lose helllllla weight so ya cant wait for that~
I am surprised by how many people are following me and I just hope everyone here sees me as relatable and just trying to cope. To all of my followers I’m so sorry for the shit we gotta go through but I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YALL! If yall wanna dm and rant about binging hella ya I’ll rant with you! If u wanna tell me your thinking/going through recovery TELL ME!! I’ll hype you the fuck up!! I am not here to promote ed shit but I am here to make sure no one goes through it alone.
