reference back to this page at any time for my personal
notes and substitutions. PLEASE NOTE THAT COOKING TIMES
MAY SLIGHTLY VARY DEPENDING ON THE SUBSTITUTION.
egg whites can be bought by the carton at the
grocery store, and are one of the leanest sources
of protein. Although yolks in whole eggs contain
a number of vitamins, they are high in calories.
For weight loss, I would recommend using less
whole eggs and more egg whites in your diet.
Strategically combining the two will provide
you with more protein and volume of food while
keeping the calorie count low.
sugar-free (SF) maple syrup will help tremendously
with your calorie intake. Keep in mind that it's
perfectly normal to have natural sugars, but it's
hard for people to consume them in moderation.
They're addicting and extremely high in calories. SF
maple syrup is my favourite calorie-f ree sweetener
and I use it for almost all of my sweet recipes. You
may also use stevia, monkf ruit, or any other
calorie-f ree sweetener (when appropriate). Pure
maple syrup, honey, agave, and brown sugar are
some of my other recommended options that you
are more than welcome to use. However, they are
higher in calories so be mindful if you choose to
use them instead of a calorie-f ree alternative!
oats are cheap, incredibly nutritious and
versatile. You will see them in almost all of my
desserts. They are whole grain with a high amount
of fiber that will help give you a feeling of fullness.
You may use coconut flour, almond flour, or
chickpea flour in recipes that require you to blend
oats into a fine powder. In every other case, use
either rolled or quick oats.
unsweetened apple sauce has been a great lowcalorie option for me that I have used in baking to
replace some oils and butter (depending on the
recipe). It has a natural, light, sweet kick to it and
helps keep foods moist. Mashed banana or canned
pumpkin may work as substitutions.
protein powder will be used in all of my desserts.
olive oil substitutions:
There are so many options and flavours to choose
avocado, coconut, sesame oil, butter

the standard chocolate and vanilla flavoured whey
protein powders. I go for something that is mainly

Protein helps with a lot of things including energy
levels, weight loss, and muscle gain. However, the
fresh or frozen veggie substitutions:

problem is that most people aren't getting enough
of it in their diet through whole foods. That is why

you to find times where you can moderately

liquid aminos, coconut aminos, tamari
almond, cashew, pea, or any other low-fat milks.
extra lean ground meat (beef, chicken,
turkey, pork, lamb) is a very similar conversation to
dairy. For weight loss, try to find the leanest meat
possible (90% or higher). Otherwise, be mindful
that your calorie intake will be higher. All ground
meats are interchangeable within each recipe,
including tofu crumble as a vegan option which
you can find on page 126.

Greek yogurt and/or any nut butters are a great additional topping here.
The trick is to never overcook your brownie bowl. It should be slightly undercooked
with a creamy center. However, if you do slightly overcook, have no fear! A little greek
yogurt can help revive your brownie bowl and give you a softer, chewy texture.

•
For the sauce, pineapples can be substituted for mango.
From my experience, boiling 12 wings before baking renders off approx. 12-14 grams
of total fat (104-126 calories). I've calculated this is by placing the pot of water in the
fridge to let the fat cool and form. Then, I drain the water and weigh the fat on a scale.
In comparison to other methods, this one is one of the lowest calorie (and super tasty)
options. Numbers will vary below!

NOTES
•
Avocado and cheese are great additional toppings but will come with extra calories.
•
Make this in batches so you don't get lazy or too busy to make it through the week.
It's a calorie and budget friendly option in comparison to store-bought burrito bowls.
However, only serve the sour cream, hot sauce and lettuce until after you reheat.

If you have extra calories for raisins, they make a great optional ingredient.

If you like to keep your shredded carrot to longer strands, add them in after blending.

You may add more sweetener if you have a sweet tooth. However, use a powder such
as stevia rather than maple syrup to keep the batter consistency the same.
