Anyone have some great recipes to share?

No one mentioned until later in life that most vegetables can be cut into small cubes, coated lightly with oil and spices, then roasted in one layer at high heat in a convection oven, stirring now and then until browned and tender. Summer squash, potatoes, peppers, radishes, and root vegetables all work well this way. A carton of plain yogurt mixed with crushed garlic, dill, and salt makes a quick topping for anything and doubles as a simple slaw dressing.

A comforting yet lighter option is a baked sweet potato loaded with rice and black beans. Add a bit of shredded cheese, a spoonful of Greek yogurt, and salsa if desired.

It is barely a recipe but mixing vanilla Greek yogurt with a spoonful of peanut butter gives a taste close to peanut butter pie filling. I have it several times a week to finish daily protein and fat targets before bed. It also helps settle the stomach in the days leading up to the weekly injection and keeps me satisfied until sleep.

Bean chili is worth making. Plenty of online recipes deliver hearty, high-protein, high-fiber meals packed with antioxidants.

I smoke a large pork butt for many hours and eat smaller portions because I want the flavor.

Green beans tossed with a light spray of olive oil and chosen spices become crisp bean fries in the air fryer.

For weekday lunches I prepare a taco salad using ground turkey. Brown it with garlic, chili paste, coriander, diced green chilies, salt and pepper. Skip the seasoning packets to keep sodium lower. Serve over a spring mix and spinach blend with fresh pico made from red onion, tomato, cilantro and lime. Top with a little light sour cream, mashed avocado and taco sauce. Each portion gives roughly 40 grams of protein and stays under 500 calories while keeping me full.

Certain zero-calorie drinks help curb sweet or alcohol-like cravings during a cut.

Three people, a hotel room, and some party powder is an absolute favorite of mine. Give it a try and report back.

To reach a protein target quickly, drain and shred two cans of chicken and mix with buffalo sauce. That gives close to 100 grams of protein.

Chicken thighs baked with a simple seasoning in a glass dish have been my recent go-to. Pair with a microwaved potato and yogurt on the side.

I will skip posting the idea out of consideration for those aiming to lose weight who might not appreciate it.

My long-time favorite since school has been elemental potassium mixed in water.

Zoodles work well if you enjoy pasta; simply swap them in for the noodles.

Not exactly a recipe, but my usual meal uses three low-carb tortillas warmed up with a small portion of sliced meat such as turkey kielbasa or lean beef, plus greens and a few toppings from a bagged salad kit. A thin drizzle of whatever dressing came with the salad finishes it. The whole thing assembles fast and tastes good every time.

Turkey meatballs bound with a little light mayo instead of egg, served over bell pepper and zucchini strips in place of pasta with regular marinara, make a lighter dinner.

Another easy item is lightly breaded chicken breast pieces cooked in the air fryer and eaten plain with a fork. They are surprisingly moreish at about 210 calories and 22 grams of protein per serving, though the salt level may explain the appeal.

A rice cooker with a steamer basket lets me cook rice in broth while broccoli steams above it and a chicken breast or tuna cooks in the air fryer. Everything starts in about two minutes for a quick lunch.

We keep a freezer stocked with discounted whole turkeys, chopped vegetables, and beef from a local source. Thaw ahead, roast a full bird with potatoes and vegetables once a month, then portion the leftovers for quick reheating. Steaks can be thawed and grilled or broiled fast. Growing fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme makes seasoning easy each day.

The slowed stomach emptying is the cause. Some people get strong effects at low doses while others feel little even at much higher amounts. Appetite dropped sharply within the first day for me. Earlier higher dosing left me exhausted, so I hope a slower increase works better this time.

The slower digestion has been helpful for me and ended long-standing digestive trouble that started years ago. Energy stays steady all day and appetite remains normal. No medical tests ever identified the earlier issue.

Those ingredients sound great. Thanks for sharing.

I usually cook proteins and vegetables separately in the air fryer and combine them differently each day. A current favorite is a southwestern ground beef and sweet potato skillet. Another staple is a hearty meat-and-vegetable mixture that resembles chili; the original source is no longer online but copies of the recipe still circulate.

Protein coffee popsicles are a current favorite. Start with brewed coffee, add half-and-half, chocolate peanut butter, a scoop of protein powder, and a little coffee concentrate, then freeze.

With smaller appetites it helps to choose meals that produce good leftovers. Soups, stews, and chilis keep for days or freeze well and often taste better after sitting. Organic produce can taste better, encouraging more salad eating. Rare steak reheats poorly but slices nicely cold over greens. A favorite is a meatball soup from Latin America that simmers gently and reheats nicely.

Lately I keep coming back to a mix of chopped cooked shrimp, small cucumber pieces, garlic, red onion, Greek yogurt, and dill. Italian dressing works in place of the yogurt if preferred. It packs protein and sometimes gets half an avocado stirred in.

A certain hot sauce brand makes a taco seasoning packet that works well. Brown the meat, add the packet for every two pounds, pour in about a cup of water, simmer briefly, and serve. An extra packet increases the heat.

Beef stew in the slow cooker is popular with my family. For an 8-quart pot use one to two pounds of stew meat, jars of gravy, powdered stew seasoning, barley, and canned mixed vegetables plus corn or peas if space allows. Season with pepper and onion, cook on low until it bubbles. Leftovers disappear quickly.

A green smoothie with spinach, kale, avocado, lime, kiwi, frozen pineapple, broccoli, chia, flax, and psyllium husk blended with water makes about four servings a week. It seems to have helped cholesterol numbers.
