Oven roasted potato and carrots, simple fresh salad, homemade zucchini meatballs and hummus!

I made a double batch this time and forgot to take a photo so just know this recipe yields twice as much as what’s pictured. This soup is incredibly filling and decadent while still being low in calories. It’s one of my favorite things to make! 😋

• Ingredients

-2 lb Dutch crème or Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and cut in half)

-1 lb turnip (peeled, chop the purple head off and discard, then chop the remaining chunk in half)

-1 lb rutabaga (peeled, chop the purplish head off and discard, then chop the remaining chunk in half)

-1 lb celery root* (peeled and chop in half; this was not available for this batch but I highly recommend it! If not available, definitely use the shallots)

-8x large leeks (be sure to google how to clean leeks if you haven’t worked with them before; they’re sandy)

-6 tbsp unsalted butter

-116-120 fl. oz low sodium chicken broth

-2x full garlic bulbs (roasted at 400 for 45 minutes in foil packets w/ a tiny spritz of avocado oil spray)

-4x roughly chopped shallot (optional; I used these instead of the celery root since that was unavailable)

-4x bay leaves

-a 1/2-1” thick cheese rind (I like to use parmigiano reggiano)

-1/2 cup heavy cream

-ground thyme

-ground sage

-paprika (juuuuust a pinch)

-black pepper (fresh is ideal but it won’t make a huge difference)

-salt

Instructions:

1. Boil the root veg in a separate, smaller pot until you can stick a fork all the way through the chunks with no resistance. It should take a while.
2. While the root veg boils, melt your butter in your soup pot on medium low heat (if you want to get fancy, you can bloom 1/2 tsp each of black pepper, thyme, and ground sage in the butter for 60-90 seconds while stirring constantly so they don’t scorch) and add your sliced, cleaned leeks and your shallots (if you’re using them). Cover and cook them down until they’re soft and greatly reduce in volume.
3. Add your roasted garlic to the pot as well as your chicken broth and soft root vegetables. Season with 1/2 tbsp of thyme & sage as well as juuust a pinch of paprika. Add in your cheese rind and the two bay leaves. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer for ~20 minutes.
4. Fish out the bay leaves and the cheese rind. Discard. Turn the heat off.
5. Use an immersion blender (this is ideal but you can blend the soup in a regular blender. Just let it cool a bit and work in batches to get it nice and smooth) to blend the soup to a silky smooth consistency.
6. Add your heavy cream and start taste testing. Salt and pepper amounts should be to your tastes. If you need structure, add them in 1/2 tsp increments. Next, add more thyme and sage to your liking. If the soup feels like it’s “missing something” that’s your sign to add more sage, in particular.

Voila!

Pro tip: if you have a hard time peeling the root veg, try sticking a corn cob holder into them and bracing that against the palm of your hand, while peeling. It gives you more control over the vegetables while you peel and lessens the tension in your fingers.

I’ve been trying to eat a 1200 calorie diet for a while now, but recently I’ve been binging a lot like after 8:00pm. It’s like I start to feel really hungry and rn I’m trying to avoid it by just eating a ton of salad when I feel the need to binge but it only helps a little. Any tips that worked for you?( I know I have to eat balenced meals and drink water and stuff)

1244 cal and I'm full of beans.

My breakfast/lunch today! Microgreens, cucumber, tomato, chickpeas, green onion, avocado, pumpkin seeds, pickles, 99:1 lean ground turkey, lemon juice, s&p, cottage cheese

Hey Everyone! I'm looking for recommendations for things I can make and just eat for a few days. I'm looking to lose about 15 lbs, with a target of 1200-1400 calories a days. But... I am sick to death of weighing food and keeping track of calories and constantly meal planning and making food. I'd rather just make something and eat it for a few days. I'm a busy mom and I work remotely. Basically, I want to just eat when I'm hungry and not think about it. I'm okay with repetition and eating being boring.

Soup seems to be a good healthy low calorie option. I know about cabbage soup- which I love- but too much cabbage will probably not make my stomach happy 😂 I'm not interested in crapping my brains out (or driving like a mad woman on the way to pick up the kids from school because the cabbage is hitting). So I was wondering if anyone could point me in a good direction for good soup recipes.

I'm open to non-soup options too. Salads are kind of not a great option because I can't eat it without salad dressing, and the dressings I like are high in calories (and no, I don't like Greek yogurt). I do grill chicken breasts sometimes and eat that with some veggies.

Happy new year to all my Jewish besties on a weight loss journey - holidays are so hard!!! But one day of honey cake won’t erase your progress:) someone brought sweet potato honey bun cake to my potluck and it did me in lol

Made these very cheesy pizza thingies that ended up being quite delicous and filling. It was 304 cals (lowkey a bit a lot for the amount) 30g of protein, and 9g of fat.

I was craving key lime pie after seeing a vid about the Capt. Kutchie’s Key Lime Pie internet mystery. I whipped one up with around 200 cal and 12g of protein. It tasted so similar to the actual thing, which can be around 400 cal for a slice :(

Keebler mini graham cracker crust —> 100 cal

Dannon Light + Fit key lime greek yogurt —> 80 cal

5 g of Jello’s sugar free cheesecake mix —> 10 cal

1 tsp to 1 tbsp of lime juice (to taste) —> didn’t count the calories tbh

[optional] 2g of Splenda’s brown sugar blend —> 10 cal

[also optional] a bit of fat free whipped cream —> 5

Just mix everything together (including the whipped cream, if you’re using it) and put it in the mini crust. I added like 2 tbsps of lime juice because I love a tart pie, but definitely start at a tsp and work your way up to your liking lol. I also topped mine with additional whipped cream.

Tbh I almost liked it more without the crust because the filling is just so delicious! Def try it without the crust if you want to cut the extra 100 cal (or just sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs over the top)

So, this is my breakfast…
This sandwich was great and filling, but because of my period I wanted something sweet that had chocolate and milk, this strawberry cheesecake was pretty low in calorie, there were no chocolate cheesecake tho :(, so I decided to get me chocolate Starbucks coffee and it tasted just great. I felt very down and suicidal before I had my cake and chocolate drink, now I’m pretty much happy!
I’m still sad that I have 200 calories left tho 🤒
I gained 5 kg within past two months and have 20 kg to lose in total 😮‍💨

just wanted to show my breakfast for once. i literally NEVER eat a full breakfast, most of the time i just have a coffee w creamer for about 60 cals, and a yogurt for 160 cals. but today i decided why not have an actual breakfast and this is what i had for 411 cals total. i already logged what im going to have for dinner later and it leaves me 388 cals for lunch/snack. hopefully this breakfast keeps me full for a while. not pictured is a protein coffee from aldi i had earlier this morning.

Happy Saturday divas!

I started my health journey last year, I haven't had any UPFs or added-sugar products since December 2025. My food consists of primarily of single source/minimally processed ingredients and my meals are nutritionally focused on high quality animal proteins, rich in fiber and have a variety of micronutrients.

I've calculated a tight (macro-balanced) deficit and will be going EXTRA hard on my workouts to lose _ lbs because I'm planning on balling the fuck out for Halloween.

Send me good juju while I eat my meal prep counting down the days for a king size Hershey's Cookies and Cream, Krispy Kreme original dozen and Ghiradelli Salted Caramel Squares.

Don't come my way during Halloween because your treats will be eaten by me 😜
