I eat stuff like this all the time..Instead of spaghetti with meat sauce, I have a burger patty slathered in spaghetti sauce over shredded and steamed cabbage.
I bake up chicken breasts and strip it down, chop it, pack it in snack sized bags (4 oz each and freeze it) and put that on a bed of romaine lettuce with tomatoes or spinach with cucumber and some full fat dressings..by the time my lunch time comes around, it's ready to eat.
I can also do the same thing with a nice can of tuna instead of the chicken breast.
A sammich made of turkey pastrami, swiss cheese, thousand island dressing wrapped in romaine lettuce leaves instead of bread. In fact, lettuce wraps are really good. splurge on the lettuce and get romaine hearts..yummy..or raw spinach..great stuff.
I also make sugar free baked goods with protein powder. Protein waffles are one of my favorites (2 eggs, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup soy milk (plain, not vanilla), 1 scoop soy protein baking mix and 1/3 cup carbquick low carb biscuit mix)..that makes 4 waffles. the worldaccordingtoeggface.com has a BUNCH of protein recipes for protein ice cream, protein mini cakes (made in a cup in the microwave) and such..
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!
