How I accidentally exceeded my fibre goal in one meal

One of the best things I’ve done was to stop separating my calories into groups of 500. I thought that every meal had to be under 500 calories but one day, I remember eating 1200 calories in one go and I didn’t eat for the rest of the day because of how energised and satiated I was.

Since then, I started to make my breakfast 700-1000 calories and it means I end up skipping lunch because I’m not hungry for it at all. It also means I get to play around with the amount of fat in my meals and I end up eating twice a day.

This breakfast is 770 calories, 56g protein (I ran out of protein powder so this could be higher), 79g of net carbs, 18g of fat and 30g of fibre! Mostly from whole foods.

The pancake is just soaked mung beans and water blended together and cooked on a non-stick pan. I used 150g of it and it made 5 pancakes about 6” in diameter. I also added artificial sweetener, salt and vanilla extract because it tastes like bootyhole if you just make it plain. Not that I know what bootyhole tastes like…

Anyways, I started off by blending a can of mixed beans and separating them into sweet and savoury. In the sweet one I added: half a medium banana, sweetener, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 2 tbsp of chia seeds and honey. Left it to thicken overnight. Used half of it to fill the smaller pancake.

Then the savoury one contains one haddock fillet boiled with fish seasoning. I added the rest of the beans mashed 1/3 of an avocado. . Some dill and cilantro.

If you’re
not cursed with a dairy allergy like me, you can probably skip the beans and just add Greek yogurt and protein powder.
