found out about kamut on the weekend(an ancient wheat with extremely high protein and lot of micro-nutrients and minerals, in short very healty/nutritious) so went to the health-store and got
everything from pasta to flour to bulgur to flakes, delighted!
as I'm IFing, as I always do on a cut, I came back from grocery shopping really hungry(fasting window was approaching 17 hours) and needed something immediately.
solution:
protein-bread sandwiches with chicken breast(with mayo and mustard) and light pork sausage, antipasti on the side.
around 600kcal, around 50g protein and almost all the fat = unsaturated.
later I started to try out the kamut with bulgur first(100g = 18g protein, 12g fiber)
mediterranean kamut bulgur with chicken and greek yogurt dip(in the vein of tzaziki)
around 700kcal(voluminous bulgur ftw, only used 60g)
tasted great, no difference to the nutritiously vastly inferior durum.
as a huge pasta fan i'm obviously most excited about trying that out, as I used up all my pesto I had to make a new batch first though.
(yellow)bell pepper pesto, pesto is so easy/quick to make and keeps a very long time(due to the high oil content) so it is something you just have to make yourself as taste is vastly superior to bought ones as well of course.
ok now we come to the pasta(100g = 15g protein, 12g fiber)
kamut whole-wheat spaghetti with bell-pepper pesto and cauliflower
around 500kcal
thoughts? OH MY GOD I'M IN LOVE, these taste nothing like whole-wheat pasta, almost exactly like white flour pasta!
