Im from Poland and I love this pottery 😉 and BLE of course ❤️
Can’t wait to try!
This was awesome! so helpful. Thank you!
This was very helpful! Thank you 😊
I am so glad I saw you with a banana! I was doing the very same thing because I’ve never had a banana, and adding blueberries just to make up the difference. And then I thought that maybe I was cheating by adding to the banana. So thank you. I appreciate that!
You're welcome, Michele! Glad you gleaned something of use here. 🥰
This was AMAZING!! Thank you! I do have a question - for the cottage cheese and plain yoghurt, it's 0% fat right?
That is up to you! Any type is fine. Low-fat tends to be best.
Fat-free is also fine, just be sure to check the ingredients. Sometimes manufacturers will put other "stuff" in to make fat-free products taste better.
Higher fat content (such as 5% or 10% Greek yogurt or whole milk products) are also ok. Just know that they can slow weight loss, especially if you're closer to Maintenance. On the other hand, they can help with satiety if you're struggling with hunger. 🧡
This was great! I have nut allergies so I will just use 8 oz of milk for my protein. Can't wait to try the new puff cereal.
Awesome! We're so glad this was helpful. 🥰
8 Oz of real milk is only 8 Oz of protein,
Adults need 25-40 gm of protein per meal
These are all great recipes. What types of milks are allowed? (Flax, Oat, et?? ) Thank you!
All types of milks, though we do caution against non-dairy milks. All milks are all counted as a protein. We recommend splitting your protein serving of milk with nuts and/or seeds if the plant-based milk is lower in protein.
Check the protein content because they range from 1 gm to 8 gm per cup 8 mg for cows milk, goat milk
For some reason I've never been able to access the FAQ database to search if certain things are compliant. Just curious about some things like chickpea pasta (probably a no lol but I've seen some ble people eating it), balsamic reduction/glaze, also wondering if I can have a tablespoon of sour cream as my fat at dinner or tiny bit of parm cheese as the fat.
Hi Jasmine, thanks so much for reaching out! Our support team can assist you further with getting access to the FAQs. Please head to brightlineeating.com/en/contact-us/ and send them a message and they'll get you taken care of. Have an amazing day! 😊
I eat blueberries (lower glycemic index as well as antioxidant) but have an issue with other fruit. It’s fructose and glucose! I’m confused. Please advise?
Hi there! Whole, natural fruit is 100% wonderful and can be consumed at meal times according to your Bright Line Eating food plan. The fiber in the fruit slows down the absorption of the fructose.
Additionally, in Bright Line Eating, we always eat fruit with a meal-never alone, so the protein, vegetables, and fats blunt the effect of the fructose in the fruit.
Take care to avoid forms of fruit that artificially concentrate the sweetness (such as dried fruits like raisins or dates), and avoid anything that messes with the fiber of the fruit (like fruit juice or all-fruit jams). 🧡
how much protein is there actually in that almond yoghurt?
Wouldn't the shredded wheat and fruit spike glucose levels?
Hi Becky, is there added sugar in the canned pineapple?
Hi, Stella! You'll want to look for pineapple that is canned in 100% pineapple juice. The easiest way is to look at the label and make sure there isn't any added sugar or sweetener. Enjoy! 🍍
Is this the Oxo 5 or 11 lb scale? Thank you 😊
This is the 11 lb. scale! 🥰
What scale are you using?
Hi Diane! Becky uses an OXO scale. There's another episode of Bright Line Bites Live where she demonstrates multiple scales and the features, pros, and cons of each: 🧡facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=watch_permalink&v=135756135320296
How come shredded wheat is allowed isn't it made with flour?
Hi there, the ingredient of shredded wheat is whole grain wheat. 🧡
Are you sure that milk is 4 0z dry weighted instead of 4 fl oz in a measuring cup? Or is it the same?
How much protein are we to measure?
Coconut milk has 0 protein
Almond milk has only 1 G protein in one cup
Cow milk has 8 grams of protein in 1 cup of milk 8 FL Oz
Goat milk has 9 G of protein per cup
Pea protein milk 8 G protein per cup
Soy milk 8 G protein
Cashew/almond milk 10 G protein per 8oz fluid cup
Hi there, you can measure milk with a measuring cup or use your scale--whichever you prefer.
Also, all milks are all counted as a protein. We recommend splitting your protein serving of milk with nuts and/or seeds if the milk is lower in protein--which is what was done here with the Banana Nut Cereal Bowl recipe. Hope this helps! 🧡
Can I just have two eggs and some yogurt maybe.
I found this video very discouraging. I'm on a very restricted diet for health reasons that will not go away with the weight, unfortunately. Every single one of those recipes included ingredients I must avoid. I want to do BLE, but none of those breakfasts are going to work for me. How flexible ARE these ingredients, really?
Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling discouraged. In Bright Line Eating, you can find many different people who are on different types of diets or eat , like vegan, whole food plant based, vegetarian, medically restricted, etc. It is very easy to make ingredient swaps either simply due to preference or necessity! Please keep in mind that the recipes/meals featured here on our UA-cam channel are not exhaustive. I hope this helps 🧡
If you just want recipes go 5:00 in. Lots of idle chatter…
Weighing looks just as annoying as counting calories.
The registered dietitian says to get 25-40 grams of protein per meal and especially for breakfast to get closer to 30 gm
1 large egg = 6g protein
1 oz or 30g weighed chia seeds is 3 TBS =
5g protein
1/4 cup of raw steel cut oats is 40g and once cooked and grows = 5g protein
One serving of plain Bulgarian whole milk yogurt (3/4 cup) has 6g protein
I had two eggs, oats with 1/2 banana
And it’s still not enough protein
