2 servings. 170 kcal/11g protein per serving
2 large zucchini, cut into noodles (3 cups of zoodles) see prep tip below
2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
12 large shrimp, shelled and deveined (about ½ pound), I used frozen and defrosted
2½ tablespoons white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
1. Prepare zoodles, see prep tip below. Place zoodles in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave for about 2 minutes, until softened.
2. In the meantime, in a large nonstick pan, heat butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
3. Add shrimp to pan and cook, stirring often, until they are cooked throughout and pink on all sides, about 2 minutes. Season shrimp with a little salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.
4. Increase heat to medium. To the same pan, add white wine and lemon juice. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Add the softened zucchini noodles and cooked shrimp. Toss to combine and heat about 30 seconds.
5. Divide the zoodles among 2 plates and spread out over the plate. Top each with 6 shrimp. Sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings. Each serving 6 shrimp and ½ the zoodles.
How to poop again
Y’all my pro tip if you can’t poop is to eat dried apricots if you are not afraid of them or buy Macrogol. It’s a different kind of laxative and it doesn’t work instant but takes 1-3 days to work but it’s way more safe than regular laxatives. Also it doesn’t cause crazy diarrhea and stomach pain. They just soften your stool. You can take them for 2 weeks straight with no harm. Then you just need to take a break for a few days and after that continue taking them for 2 weeks etc. Even babies can take this.
I restrict a lot but still take a shit thanks to both BUT don’t overdo both or take them together bc then you WILL get diarrhea and stomach pain and you don’t want this. Maybe do this if you haven’t pooped in a week. But otherwise NO.
Also buttermilk is very good for you digestion. It’s filling and both low in calories and fat.
Please tell me if it worked for you and have a good poop! 💖
NOTE: Sorry for the long introduction, in some ways in contains an addendum which explains the gaps and breakdowns in my undergraduate performance. Also I’m sorry that notes are not a traditional way to begin a critical essay
There are many reasons why Nabokov is not a household name in the same way that classical lyricists such as Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and T.S. Eliot might be to your average college graduate. For, Vladimir Nabokov once wrote the most morally questionable book of the 20th century. Plastered around Spain you might notice the sardonic ire that taints storefronts labeled Lola, Lolita, and worst of all Sweet Lolita. For a second I imagined myself capable of writing a thesis on the history of the book, but as I dove deeper into the subject my frustrations boiled until I quite literally lost my mind.

Low cal starbucks drinks!
Also, a almond milk latte! No sugar too. It has to be low because it’s just steamed almond milk on black coffee and it’s so good
i gathered all my favourite snack ideas (mainly for myself lol) hope you enjoy<3 ofc calories may vary according to different ingredients.
i know it's hard, but still - eating small portions is better than not eating. i don't want my brain to be eaten by my body and feel dead all the time (although i still do lmao/).
ingredients: -20g sweetener (you can add more or less, it's up to you) [0] -20g flour [73] -10g coco powder [23] -2 egg whites [34] -10 blueberries (optional - i like adding them) [8]
1. whip egg whites to the point when they are kinda stiff, then add dry ingredients. 2. mix everything. add blueberries on top. 3. put in the oven for about 20 minutes (170°C or 338°F) 4. leave for a few minutes, so it stiffens.
ingredients: -1 banana [depends on size, let's say 90] -2 egg whites [34] -10g flour [36] (if you want them to be better consistency, add more)
1. whip egg whites, like in the last recipe 2. mash bananas and add them. 3. add flour and mix. as i said, if you aren't satisfied w consistency, you should add more flour 4. put some oil on pan and make some small pancakes (they will be kinda tiny, so this means they will cook faster) 5. after they've cooked, serve them with chosen toppings.
ingredients: -30g flour [108] -1/2 tsp baking powder [0] -1 tsp salt [0] -4 tbsp water [0] (you might want to add more or less, depends on what consistency you want to achieve)
1. mix everything together 2. cook like pancakes from last recipe 3. voilà!
ingredients: -pita [108] -tbsp of tomato sauce [40] -spices like oregano or basil [0]
1. just add sauce and spices on one side of pita. 2. cook some more time and again, voilà!
ingredients: -2 bananas [180] -80g oats [300] (you could also add things like cinnamon, raisins or peanut butter, it depends on what you like)
1. mash bananas, add oats. 2. on baking paper form small cookies, don't forget about spaces between them. 3. bake for 20 minutes (180°C or 356°F) to calculate calories from this one you have to do bit of math but dont worry i got you 480 (+ cals from your own ingredients, but only if u added them ofc) : (number of cookies) = calories for one cookie so if you baked 10 cookies w/o any extra ingredients, one cookie is only 48 calories :)
~Not my recipe (obvi)
~I imagine you can sub out blueberries for other berries
~You can substitute the agar agar for gelatin but it may add a few calories
