Dinner: Big Mac in a bowl recipe with 2 cups cauliflower popcorn
I had the Chhole Masala, aka Big Mac in a bowl, actually, my family had it for dinner, they loved it. I tried the cauliflower popcorn last night, it was good but the cauliflower shrank down so much that there was hardly any there.....is it supposed to be kinda crunchy, because mine wasn't.

Big Mac is so good that I actually had it twice last week!!
And yes, the cauliflower does shrink down quite a bit, so I make sure to throw about 2 cups of lettuce into the meal to add volume (and more fiber!!)
You have to bake the cauliflower until it is brown and almost black in my experience and let it cool a bit before it becomes a bit crunchy, but I just enjoy the different texture and slight caramalization from baking it.
Glad to see your family is supporting you in your IP eating ways!!! Keep up the awesome work
I am not a coach, nor do I play one on 3FC. I do however, hate to see others struggle and get frustrated because this program WORKS! Some of you may have seen my responses to those struggling in the past and have asked them to post a menu - that's to spot things we as a group can see that you cannot.
I am seeing some posts with 2 restricteds, most with no salads, some with not enough food in general and comments about being hungry. These are my thoughts: If you are hungry, you're not eating enough. If you're not losing or are 'stuck' you may not be eating enough or having too many restricteds.
You may not have mentioned in your posts having some of the following issues - constipation, headaches, no energy, etc. These are signs you're not following protocol.
Per IP - Serving size must be respected with no more/no less than indicated. This is speaking to salad and veggies. That means 4 cups of veggies a day.
So, without judgment or scolding, cuz I luvs my I PEEPS on this journey, take a look at the Protocol sheet for your Phase. Are you really following protocol? Really? Your restricted should be early in the day, not as your night time snack. Some call the night time snack a 'repair' snack as it helps keep your body fueled overnight while you rest.
I am FAR from perfect, but this is what my menu looks like. This is very simplified - I do use the recipes, too. This is more to show protocol.
B: Puffs, coffee, water
S: 1 cup cucumbers
L: Pudding/shake, 1 cup veg, salad
S: 1 cup celery
D: 8 oz protein, salad, 1 cup veg
S: Jello
Water throughout the day.
I have 4 cups of veg a day and 2 salads. I'm never hungry and don't have the Big C issue (anymore!), nor do I have headaches. I had ALL those things at some point - all because I wasn't following the plan, although I thought I was!
When you post in this new thread (which I LOVE, BTW!) include your Phase. That way we those who have gone through that Phase can see potential issues.
Love ya!
