Thought I'd bump an awesome thread and post my own diet related question.
I have a mad dog and I need to walk him for close to an hour each morning before work or training. As I have to be out the house by 7:45 I need something I can prepare quickly. Therefore I make pancakes the night before, blast them in the microwave when I wake up at 6, eat them and take him out. Ingredients and macros are:
2 whole eggs. (140/12/2-nil/8-3)
200ml/ 5 egg whites. (72/19.6/trace/trace)
75g low fat cottage cheese. (56/8.3/3.5-3.5/1.1-0.6)
40g whole rolled oats. (178/5.6/30-0.6/4-0.8)
Allowance for honey and Fry Light spray (76/trace/12.7-12.7/1.8-trace)
Total= Calories-522/Protein-45.5/Carbs-48.2 of which sugars-17.6/Fat-14.9 of which saturates-4.4
Values for me are pretty much spot on and without adding any protein powders. The taste isn't that bad. Better when made fresh, but time isn't a luxury I have most mornings. It's the texture I'm having an issue with. Can I add something that will make them like IHOP pancakes without screwing up the macros? A lot of recipes say to use baking soda. Would this help? Any pancake recipes you'd like to share that I can eat year round without putting on too much fat?
Thanks a lot.
