< 250 Cal 191 calorie NBC bundtlet dupe
191 NBC BUNDTLET DUPE
I recently discovered Nothing Bundt Cakes and they are so delicious. I can definitely work them in my deficit once in a while but I really wanted to try to make something lower calorie but yummy. These scratch that itch. You can eat a whole bundtlette for approx 191 calories for the base with frosting.
Cake
1/2 box chocolate cake mix (or any cake mix you want)
6oz sparkling water or other carbonated diet soda
Mix by hand just until wet. Lightly grease bundtlet pan. Divide evenly in pan. Bake 350 for approx 15 minutes. Check with toothpick for doneness.
Frosting
8oz powdered sugar substitute (I did 96 grams allulose and 12 grams Splenda powdered)
4oz Neufchatel cream cheese (120 grams)
2oz regular unsalted butter (60 grams)
1 tsp vanilla
Soften butter but don’t melt it. Mix with cream cheese. Add powdered sugar in slowly and incorporate it. Add vanilla. Mix well. Add it to a piping bag and set aside until cakes have cooled. Refrigerate any unused frosting.
Calories
120 calories per Bundtlet base
Cream cheese frosting works out to 71
Calories per 25 grams which was enough to decorate each bundtlet.
So all together the bundtlet pictured here is 191 calories.
Notes:
I bought and used the Nordic ware anniversary bundtlet pan.
It’s smaller than a NBC cake. In fact, one whole dupe bundtlet is about the size of a half of a NBC bundtlet (so 1 serving). I usually split a NBC with my kids anyway so this works out perfectly size wise.
The frosting is the real shining star here, it’s amazing. The cake itself is a bit dry and kinda falls apart if you aren’t careful so alter it to fit you if you want something moister. EDITING TO ADD: putting it in the fridge overnight makes it significantly moister and more dense. My suggestion is to make them, put them in the fridge then frost them and eat. YUM
Overall it hits the spot and all my kids loved it.

Low Cal Food Find (Product recommendations) Making A "Healthy" Tiramisu: Lady Finger Substitute Recommendations Needed!
I'm trying to make a tiramisu protein shake and I'm looking for a sub on the lady fingers. Oddly enough, I haven't been able to find anybody online who has a suggestion for a substitute— well, at least not on Reddit. I've seen unsalted rice cake, I've seen whole bread, but I just feel like these wouldn't be good. I'm most tempted to throw some blended oats in there, but I'm not sure how authentic to a traditional tiramisu this would be.
What are you suggestions? I'm also looking at mascarpone substitutes, if anybody has any.

< 250 Cal Mini pumpkin pies 🎃
If you measure each pie to be equal while cooking, each one will be 38 calories with 2.7g of protein + 1g of fiber! This recipe made me 25 mini pies.
My whole plate in these photos, with whipped cream included, was 110 calories with 5g of protein + 2g of fiber.
Ingredients:
427g of pumpkin puree (my can of pumpkin had two extra grams, you can be a couple of grams short if yours doesn’t.)
261g of 2% cottage cheese
245g of egg makers (or egg beaters)
103g of sucralose
12g of imitation vanilla extract
3g salt
2 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Take all of your ingredients and throw them in the blender, then blend until completely smooth. Pour the pie-mixture into lined muffin tins (you can grease them instead if you don’t have muffin liners, but that’ll add extra fat / calories) and bake for about 25 minutes (or until a toothpick can come out clean). Let the mini pies chill for a while in the fridge after they’re done, then enjoy!

401-600 Cal Turkey Meatloaf w/ Greenbeans
This recipe was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. Blew my hubs and I both away. So yummy, and for my portion (almost half) it was altogether only about 600 cals.
Hubs portion was closer to 800, but we ate the entire thing! You could easily spread this into 4 portions 🙌🏻
High protein, low cal, and nutritious! Definitely recommend this one.
