The best volume eating recipes for those times when you’re craving a big plate of food, butstill want to stick with your health and fitness goals.
Since I was little I’ve loved to eat. Literally my mom tells stories about how in order to feed me as a toddler my dad or sister had to hold my hands down while my mom shoveled food into my mouth as quickly as possible. If not, I would go crazy grabbing at the food or would start crying if the food wasn’t coming fast enough.
So it’s no surprise that as an adult I still love to eat. I’m okay with it because “People who love to eat are always the best people.” 🙂 Luckily over the years I’ve found ways tosatisfy my love for food and desire to eat large quantities while still remaining my health. My secret? Loading up on nutrient dense foods like veggies and fruit!
You’ll notice that every one of the volume eating recipes I’m featuring here is made with REAL FOOD and has at least one fruit or vegetable in it. Fruits and veggies FTW!! Just don’t forget the protein and healthy fat because they’re the key for making ameal satisfying. Plus, they will help to keep youfeeling full!
