Tastiest low cal day was a protein shake, hummus platter, and a tofu stir fry for dinner. And of course a small piece of chocolate to keep my sanity 🙂
Does today’s food count?
Bfast-Beyond sausage patty on a Dave’s Killer Bread english muffin with Follow Your Heart chz and mayo.
Lunch- szechuan peppercorn tofu and rice w/ watercress and bell peppers/oyster mushrooms , topped with gochujang sauce.
Dinner- CedarLane vegan chile relleno burrito frozen meal, added shredded iceberg and Tofutti sour cream.
Hmmm my tastiest low cal day recently was having a berry smoothie for breakfast, I love a graze platter of veggies w hummus & nuts midday instead of an actual put together meal, & dinner was a homemade lentil soup. (love homemade soup because I’m lazy & can make a lot at once & freeze it) Then of course my sweet tooth had to end the day with homemade banana ice cream made from oat milk, bananas, & cocoa powder.
All I’ve ate today is a soyrizo chili in the slow cooker! It’s soyrizo from Trader Joe’s, chickpeas, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, corn, black beans, jalapeños and diced chilis. Really full and satisfying.
Thanks! I love vegan chocolate!
Today I ate sautéed tofu with avocados and chickpeas , grilled eggplant, 7 grain hot cereals with seitan, and kale salad! Oh and coffee and tea! I’d so love to win this! 🤎
Omg
Homemade raisin muffins and ice coffee w almond milk
Airfried corn Tortillas with homemade hummus
Shirataki noodles with air fried tofu and a bunch of veggies. Green onions, carrots, bok choy, wakame, tomatoes, and zucchini. Oo and I always add some frozen edamame to help cool down the soup 😆
An apple w cinnamon and sugar free maple syrup
cauliflower rice sushi bowl. I used cauliflower as the base pour some soy sauce mixed with wasabi. then add crushed up nori , marinated tomatoes, daikon, kimchi, and marinated tofu.
This was such a good day of low cal food omg. I want it all again 😭😭
Today was quite tasty: some special k protein cereal with soymilk, a peanut butter strawberry banana smoothie, and Gardein orange chicken with broccoli.
Sauteed mushrooms, spinach and scrambled JustEgg for breakfast, butternut squash soup and greens for lunch, and vegan pumpkin black bean enchiladas that I meal prepped using a recipe from the Minimalist Baker…I am fully embracing those cozy fall vibes ❤️
carrot cake oats with homemade nut butter, coffee with soy milk, tofu stir fry with all my fav vegetables (and mushrooms lots of mushrooms) on rice for lunch, and curry-butternut squash soup with crusty bread 🥖 and nice cream sprinkled with granola or cereal for dessert💌 i could write tons of these haha
Overnight oatmeal with fresh fruit, lunch was a platter of veggies and hummus and nuts, dinner was a homemade ratatouille with bread drizzled with some olive oil. So good. Home cooking fresh veg is heaven.
My Tastiest low calorie day was some oatmeal for breakfast and tofu scramble and jasmine rice with black beans for dinner
Yum, oatmilk chocolate.
Best full day was tofu scramble, a vegan salad with asian veggies and sriracha tofu, and for dinner roasted squash with brown rice and beans topped with a low cal creamy vegan garlic sauce.
Tastiest low-cal day:
Chocolate cherry smoothie in the morning using vegan oat yogurt, frozen cherries, spinach, half a banana, chia seeds, and chocolate precision fermented protein powder (California Performance Co)
Buffalo tofu wrap with lettuce, broccoli sprouts, homemade buffalo tofu, carrots, red onion, garlic hummus, and a high fiber low cal wrap
Red curry soup packed with tofu, bell peppers, sweet potato, onion, cilantro, frozen peas, bamboo shoots, and low fat coconut milk!
The secret to my low cal days is to stuff everything with low calorie density veggies and use no oil cooking. It makes space for the good stuff we all want to eat!
I’d love to top a day like that off with some low cal vegan chocolate 😋
Breakfast: a smoothie bowl with banana, berries, protein powder (pea/rice protein mix) and cocoa powder, topped with some low-cal vegan granola
Lunch: a big bowl of sauteed veggies with a beyond sausage and some rice. And lots of hot sauce!

I’m been wanting to try this brand for so long!
– Breakfast: A serving of rolled oats cooked with a serving of canned pumpkin and some water. Added a teaspoon of sweetened condensed soymilk and chopped pumpkin seeds on top.
– Lunch: “Chick’n noodle” soup made with crumbled tofu cooked in olive oil to get kinda crispy then set aside while the veggies (onion, carrot, celery, zucchini) got cooked in more oil. Used TJ’s vegan chicken-less seasoning plus garlic and herbs to make the broth. Added in shell pasta instead of egg noodles.
– Dinner: King oyster mushroom “scallops” seared in olive oil and served over creamy garlic lemon pasta. Used blended silken tofu as the base for the sauce.
– Dessert: Sweet potato toast with peanut butter
