One of my go-to breakfast recipes: high-protein ba

One of my go-to breakfast recipes: high-protein bagels!

These are so unbelievably good and SO easy.

I’ve been adding a scoop of unflavored protein powder to these lately, but these are still protein-packed if you leave that out, since I know it’s not a common ingredient people have.

Heres what ya need:
- 150g All Purpose Flour
- 28g / 1 Scoop Unflavored Protein Powder (or use 180g total flour if leaving this out)
- 2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 180g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- Seasonings of Choice

That’s all ya need! These take 8-10 minutes in the air fryer at 350 degrees F, but you can easily make these in the oven as well.

I can only fit so much in one caption, so all of the info you could possibly need is available at the link below. Recipe card, notes, tips, etc.

We’ve all been asked these questions before. Us

We’ve all been asked these questions before.

Usually they’re from the people closest to us (grandmas are particularly fond of the first question). And in most cases, they mean no harm.

But these questions can be very triggering for people. If you’re someone who tends to ask these questions- stop.

If you go out with friends and they’re all getting pizza and burgers, you’re allowed to order a salad. Someone is almost certainly going to ask you “that’s all you’re gonna eat?” Just answer them with a simple “yes.” The end. You’re allowed to eat whatever the hell you want!

On the flip side, if the people you are with are all ordering salads, but there’s a big ol’ steak on the menu that you’ve been dreaming about, order that damn steak! “You’re gonna eat all that?” Yes, yes I am. And I’m going to enjoy every last bite of it.

If you want to order a salad, don’t let someone pressure you out of it. Only you know your reasoning, and it’s nobody’s business but your own. You might be ordering a salad because you have specific caloric goals. Or maybe you had a huge lunch and want a light dinner. Or maybe you just LIKE SALAD.

People are going to ask you these questions. All. The. Time. There’s nothing we can do about that. But we can control how they affect us (or in this case, how they don’t affect us)

Eat what you want, not what someone else wants you to eat. Brush off these silly questions as nothing more than ignorance and enjoy your food.

What you choose to eat should not affect anyone else’s life. Eat some Oreos if you want ‘em. Enjoy some fries, or swap them out for a side of steamed veggies. Skip dessert…or enjoy a big ol’ slice of cheesecake.

Keep doin’ you, and don’t let the misguided judgements of others affect YOUR choices.

If you’re counting calories, condiments are one

If you’re counting calories, condiments are one of those things that are very easy to ignore.

A little ketchup on the side? No biggie. Some ranch to dip your pizza crust in? Sure.

But if you don’t account for those calories, they can sneak up on ya.

Don’t misinterpret what I’m saying- there’s nothing wrong with condiments! They’re delicious, and I welcome ‘em all. But, many people will use them them and discount the calories they’re consuming, and in certain cases that can mean 100s of extra calories unaccounted for.

We have two guides here: 2 tbsp, and 2oz. Why these sizes?

2 Tbsp is the gold standard for sides, and it’s roughly equal to 2 of those little paper ketchup cups, assuming you fill them up like a civilized human being and not like a monster.

2oz is double that, and it’s the size of a standard side at restaurants. If you get a side dressing, that will typically come in a 2oz container.

All condiments are certainly not created equally. Some contain very minimal calories and are nothing to sweat. Others, like aioli, can really sneak up on you with nearly 400 calories.

There are many different brands of each condiment, and SO many variations/flavors of each, so this guide certainly doesn’t cover it all.

For example, I almost always go with a no-sugar-added ketchup or a sugar-free BBQ sauce, which brings the calories down from what is listed here. So, there are definitely other options.

A quick note on mustard: most mustard lists 0 calories, but the FDA says that anything under 5 calories can be listed as 0. Most mustard has 3 calories per teaspoon even though it lists 0, which is where that number is coming from.

The same goes for hot sauce, which will have a minimal amount of calories even though it lists 0. Sriracha will sometimes list 0, but most should have roughly 5 calories per teaspoon.

Now let’s put the calories to the side. You can only have ONE condiment for the rest of your life, what are you choosing? Give me hot sauce, forever and always.

Churro. Donuts.

These donuts do it all. They’re crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and packed with cinnamon flavor.

Oh yeah, and they have protein, too.

Each churro donut has just over 100 calories and includes a sneaky 6g of protein to boot.

If I were ranking my favorite donut recipes, these would be sitting firmly at the top. I cannot recommend them enough!
