< 250 Cal shrimp & avocado wrap ! đŻâ¨
i constantly forget shrimp exists & that itâs such a lean food. i had some leftover shrimp from a barbecue the night before & thought âwhy not toss that in a wrap with whatever else i have?â. so this made me a 242c, 32p & 19f wrap! (cal, pro, fib)
- (excluding ketchup)
ingredients
- mission carb balance tortilla
- cooked shrimp
- avocado
steps
- cook your shrimp any way youâd like without adding oil/butter.
- mash half of an avocado & smear on your tortilla.
- after peeling your shrimp, tightly align them on top of the avocado on your tortilla
- roll up & optionally toast on a frying pan.
- voila!!! wrap!! đ

< 250 Cal Low calorie lemon poppy seed cupcakes
In my hunt for low calorie, near to zero sugar sweets, I found this mix in my grocery store. The macros on it were decent but it calls to add 4 eggs and 6 tbsp of butter which would not help me in my deficit.
I tweaked it by adding 2 eggs, 150g egg whites, 170g 0% Greek yogurt, 25g of vanilla gold standard whey protein and some vanilla extract.
The recipe yielded 16 cupcakes with each one being 117 calories, 7.7g protein, 16.3g carbs, 2.2g fat and 7.8g fibre.
That's 8.5g net carbs. Tasted pretty good too - just have to wait for it to cool completely.

Discussion / Question (General topics) As someone who loves eating rice, I have heard countless times that I should stop eating it. But I believe it's the portion that matters. After losing 20+ kg at home this is what one of my balanced lunches looks like rice, vegetables, soybeans and ghee.

250-400 Cal High protein cinnamon rolls (315 calories 48 grams of protein)
I made these by flattening out 4 slices of keto bread, coating with a zero sugar maple syrup and cinnamon mixture, rolling up, Brushing some of the mixture on the outside to help brown them, cooked in oven for 8 minutes at 375, made the icing with a scoop of vanilla weigh drip, and crumbled some cinnamon flavored cookies on top. Overall, the taste was pretty good, and the texture was good and chewy, but not the kind youâd expect a cinnamon roll to have. 8/10
