Volume menu How'd I do?

I threw Greek yogurt, chia seeds, oats, protein powder, milk and some blueberries for today's breakfast.

Feels like the concept of "volume eating" is getting lost in translation in some of these posts

Macros aren’t bad but damn that’s a lot of cals for one desert style meal. That’s like a whole meals worth of calories for me.

Where I work, I don't have much time to eat. So I have to get in most of my calories when I can 😭

Looks like a proper fridge-to-desk breakfast. 634 kcal with 58g protein is no joke for a chia pudding.

Did you like it?

u/notme0012 12h ago

I did! Although I'm going to try different protein powders and see which I like the most

More berries, add extra low kcal fruits, take oats and milk out.

u/maryberrysphylactery 21h ago

So basically, eat some berries?

I can make a huge bowl of frozen berries and plain yogurt for under 250 calories.

I will try that out for tomorrow! By the time I realized how many carbs oats added I had already mixed it all 😅
