What Do You Eat in a Day?
-
@oliveoil Sounds great. Do the lamb feet produce a lot of gelatin? Have you tried other gelatinous broths to compare it to?
-
This is a fairly typical day of eating for me:
BREAKFAST (855 cals): Flourless banana crêpes stuffed with strained yogurt and jam, black raspberry & vanilla nice cream, and (coconut) milky coffee with tupelo honey
SNACK (150 cals): White chocolate & cinnamon covered sukkari dates
LUNCH (700 cals): A raw cheddar omelette, spiced white peach compôte topped with raw cream, and peppermint tea with white prairie blossom honey
SNACK (145 cals): Bubbies kosher dill pickle and Maine Root blueberry soda
DINNER (850 cals): Cheesy spaghetti squash fritters with strained yogurt, jackfruit & honeydew melon nice cream, and (coconut) milky coffee with white boreal forest honey
TOTAL: 2,700 calories (65C/20F/15P)

@Snow It’s incredibly gelatinous, the result has the hardness and consistency of gummy bears, so it’s very high in collagen content. Cow’s feet are also great for these broths, it’s all basically connective tissue.
So far I’ve only tried beef and lamb feet broth, but I want to try other options, such as beef tripe/tendon broth, or chicken feet, pig feet and ears…How I do the recipe is as follows:
- Fill a pressure cooker with collagen rich animal parts
- Cover with water
- Close and cook between 2 and 4 hours
- Separate all the connective tissue from the bones, discard the bones
- Blend the connective tissue with the broth
- Strain the broth
- Separate into different containers and freeze them so that it can last you for months.
I like to drink my broth with olive oil, salt and pepper. The taste is incredibly delicious. I like the taste of lamb feet broth a bit better.
The recipe is inspired by @CO3 ’s “master broth”.
While I don’t know exactly how much gelatin it has per cup or 100g, I believe it’s a good amount. I want to do a test where I measure the amount of gelatin in the broth by comparing the viscosity from gummies made with gelatin powder and gelatinous broth made with animal parts.

@oliveoil ill definitely need to try this ive been meaning to start making my own gelatin broths. I usually use powdered gelatin but i thought fresh might be better.

@Jennifer Spiced peach compote
do you make that yourself or is it store bought? I think i remember you mentioning how u made it on RPF -
@Snow, yep, I make it myself. The recipe is just peaches, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla bean powder and some salted butter, simmered until it’s the consistency of pie filling. It freezes well so I make up large batches at a time. It’s delicious reheated and topped with cream or as a topping for ice cream.

@Jennifer
Are the flourless banana crepes made with milk powder?A recipe or just the ingredients would be great.
-
@Jennifer Im making this for sure! Thank you sm
-
@happyhanneke, nope, no milk powder. Just 1 large banana blended with 2 large eggs, and I add a pinch of cinnamon and salt. Below is a recipe video. She makes small pancakes, but I make one large crêpe and then stuff it with yogurt that I’ve strained so it’s thick like cream cheese, and some all fruit jam. It’s essentially a blintz.
And for more of a fluffy pancake, just add baking powder:

@Snow, great! My pleasure. I hope you enjoy it.

A gallon of milk with 1.5 lbs of sugar.
Sometimes fruits, gelatinous seafood, carrot.
-
@psi Is that low-fat or whole milk? How do you feel getting all those calories from white sugar?
-
@Snow whole milk. When I'm inactive, I intake half to 3/4 of that.
I don't feel like I'm loading up on calories with sugar. It goes right through. 2 hours and it's processed. With protein or starch from pasta I get tired for a couple of hours.
I've been avoiding seed oils already but not pufa in general, so I'm metabolically healthy. Ray said he would go through 9k calories a day walking in the woods. FDA ancestor 100 years ago recommended 5k calories a day, and it was seen as more food means more nutrition. The obsession with calories is from physics conservation of energy laws that the nerds love. Sugar gluttony is a religious belief that's fairly recent. I'm not gaining any weight, and I only do a couple of hours of walking a day.

I had a few handfuls of raisins and three slices of Ezekiel Sprouted Grain bread early in the morning. For dinner I'll have my usual plate of boiled yellow potatoes with EVOO. I soak the peeled and halved potatoes for seven hours. I sometimes eat a bowl of defrosted berries afterwards. Decided to incorporate guava paste and the carrot salad -- the latter while fasted -- into my diet a few days ago.
