My favorite fasting day meal is 100 grams cottage cheese topped with 4 sliced strawberries. The 100 grams full fat cottage cheese is 107 calories and the 74 grams of strawberries is 24 calories for a total of 131 calories.

I use http://www.myfitnesspal.com to calculate all the simple foods, how many calories they are and how much of each I’m able to eat.

I also don’t like packet foods, though I make an exception for the ‘La Zuppa’ brand soups! Most of them do not contained added sugar and the ‘Spicey Lentil’ variety is very tasty and easy for a fasting day when I want something fast and I haven’t cooked ahead of time.

Also, here’s a recipe from one of the threads on this forum. I know this is something that one might want to cook ahead of time, though it’s great to have the calorie count aspect to the recipe:

MEDITERRANEAN VEGGIE CHILLI

190 calories
Serves 3

• 1½ tbs olive oil
• 1 red onion, diced
• 1½ mixed peppers, deseeded and diced
• 1 courgette, diced
• ½ large aubergine, diced
• 2-3 tsp Cajun spice mix
• 400g tin cherry tomatoes in juice
• ½ x 400gm tin kidney beans, drained (= 100 gms beans!)
• 125g bag of young spinach

Put olive oil, diced red onions, mixed peppers, courgettes, large aubergine and Cajun spice mix in a large saucepan.

Cook over a medium heat for about 10 mins. Add tomatoes and kidney beans and simmer for a further 15 mins. Finally, stir through spinach.

Hi again, I’ve added my cauliflower rice into Myfitnesspal and it comes out at 124cal – food is enough for two serves (62cal each) or a good hearty single meal at 124cal. I use a non-stick pan and if needed drizzle a little water in if it looks like it might stick (you don’t need oil to fry veges). You can reduce quantities a little to bring it down to 100cal as a single serve if you like and add in any other veges that are your favourite, peppers would be good too, 100g is about 40cal, so you could easily adjust it to suit.

Dice the onion and sautee in pan.
Finely chop the cauliflower, add to pan to fry
I microwave frozen veg and carrots for 1min and then add them to pan
Lastly add in the soy sauce just before you serve making sure you mix it through thoroughly.

200 g, Cauliflower – Raw
20 g, Australian Corn Kernels – Frozen
5 ml, Dark Soy Sauce
50 g, Carrots
0.50 cup, Snap frozen peas
1/3rd, Brown Onion – Medium

Hi people,
Some lovely veggie recipes here. Thanks! The curry sounds good. I used to eat konyaku in Japan. Somehow I hate the taste as it’s like fish… They used to make konyaku desserts which were handy and the fruit taste made it palatable. Tofu is lovely, must get some.

I like steamed green veggies, with 30g of mozzarella cheese (75 cal in the cheese) and 2 ml of garlic oil (18) cal. I don’t know what the cals are in the veggies. I suppose in total it’s 100 cal for this meal. Mozzarella is chewy!
Also cottage cheese with freshly chopped onion, salt and pepper. You could add other things eg sometimes I put chilli flakes in. 160 cal for a big 300g pot. (This is low fat cottage cheese, and v tasty!)

Hi Mark, here is a favourite, simple 2 ingredient recipe.

Super filling cookies:

2 overipe bananas – mashed =180 cals
1 cup rolled oats, (not quick or instant oats) =300 cals

Stir the oats into the mashed bananas and let sit for 5 mins. Spoon onto a parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 mins for a soft,chewy cookie,or 25 mins for a crisp cookie. This will make 12 good sized cookies = 40 cals each.

You can fancy them up by sprinkling with cinnamon, flax or chia seeds, if you like.

😊
Thanks for starting this thread👍
