I lost track of the time tonight so I’m doing a quick and dirty post.  I did 45 mins on the treadmill this morning as it looked like rain.  Of course it didn’t rain so tomorrow if it’s not actually raining I’ll go outside for a quick walk (30 mins).  I did a little shopping today and baked some chocolate zucchini cake for the freezer.  Oh, and I had this inspired thought while I was waiting for the cake to bake.  The eggs in the cakes seem to overcome the fact that I’m not using any actual flour.  I have an old recipe for a cheesy batter bread, which uses both yeast and eggs for the rising.  So I put together a half batch (supposed to be baked in a bundt pan or ring pan) and divided it between two small pans.

Instead of ~2.5 cups of white flour I used a combination of white flour, soy flour, and unflavoured protein powder.  I also cut back the butter and sugar a bit as well.  It turned out fairly well, with probably only one change for next time - make the full recipe in the bundt pan.  I forgot that it tends to rise quite high, but fall slightly.  Since you normally bake it in a bundt pan you turn it over to serve it (so it doesn’t matter).  The macros turned out as: 31% protein, 32% fat, 37% carbs, which is pretty good considering it had a nice soft texture.  It’s still not a really light bread, but neither was the original.  Too much butter and cheese for it to be a low-cal bread, but it’s not really high cal either.  When I make it again I’ll take a picture of the completed bread and put up the recipe.  I’m really quite happy with it.  I made it because tomorrow I’m going back to having soup for lunch and wanted a bread to go with it.
