Want to know a cooking secret health conscientious chefs have known for years? Instead of whole eggs, use organic egg whites in your holiday baking to lighten up. Why egg whites? Egg whites are pure protein and have no fat, no cholesterol, no trans fats, and no carbohydrates. Egg Whites provide the only protein that is instantly absorbed by the body.

Episode 116

Last week I was wandering around the supermarket.  I had bought my fruit, veg, fish, chickpeas etc and was looking at the trashy magazines, planning a quiet evening in with a big bunch of grapes and a catch up of what the celebs were doing.

But the headline that caught my eye was not what Brad and Ange were doing this week, or even the latest celeb diet which promised me I’d lose a stone in a week……..but New Scientist magazine.

The headline read:  These Burgers are identical….but one will make you fatter.

Well obviously I was intrigued.  Horoscopes and celebs out the window, I started reading the article there and then.  When I got a comment about it not being a library I paid for the mag and read the whole thing before I got to the car. 

It was one of the most fascinating articles I have read in a long time.  The basic premise was that the way calories are calculated might be completely incorrect- up to 25% out. 

Now I have long believed that calories are not the key to long-term weight loss and health, as they don’t take into account nutrient content.  I would rather eat a bowl of natural muesli which is packed full of fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals and loads of other goodies, that a bowl of ‘low calorie’ cereal, which might be lower in calories but is low in everything else too.

Well apparently I am right!!

Calories have been calculated in the same way for over 100 years.  The food is burnt in controlled conditions and the energy released from it measured.  However our bodies don’t burn food – they digest it.  And when digesting food many factors can affect the amount of calories we can actually extract from it.  It may also give a fuller explanation of why some diets are effective.

The example used in New Scientist is a great one.  We want an afternoon snack, really fancying a nice chocolate brownie, but decide to be healthier and choose a nut based cereal bar.  However when we check the label, there are 50 more calories in the nut bar…so we choose the brownie.

Now apart from all the other nutrients in the nut bar, the calories are very deceptive. 

Fibre is a good example.  It is very resistant to digestion so we do not absorb all the calories it contains.  It also provides energy for the microbes in our gut so they take their cut before we get our share.  This has lead to estimates that the calories in fibre rich food are 25% lower than listed on labels. 

The calories in protein may be up to 20% lower as it takes energy for our bodies to digest it.  Could this be one of the factors why (despite not being hugely healthy) diets like Atkins do make us lose weight?

Simple carbohydrates (the ones we should avoid anyway) like sugar, white flour and white rice are more easily absorbed and digested than complex carbs such as oats, wholemeal flour and brown rice.  Meaning we get more calories from white bread or pasta than we do from wholemeal.  Even though the labels may tell us the calories in the food are the same. 

These factors may combine to have such an effect than the nut bar is actually lower in calories than the brownie.

Cooking can also have a large effect on the calories we take from food.  Cooking breaks down constituents in the food making them much easier to digest and absorb.  So the exact same steak or serving of carrots can contain fewer calories just by being served rare or raw.  Could this also help explain the success of the raw food diet for weight loss?

Surely that is it?  Well no.  The texture of food can have an impact.  Harder foods use up much more energy in chewing and digestion than softer ones.  So again the brownie loses as it will be softer and easier to chew that a hard or crunchy nut bar. 

So are these amounts really significant enough to have an impact on our weight?  Well yes.  An average woman should have around 2000 calories per day (men around 2500).  If this amount can be out by 25% we could be over or under eating a huge 500 calories per day.  When we consider an over eat of just 20 calories a day can lead to a weight gain of 1kg fat per year that could have a huge impact.

So we need to look at more than just the calories in food.

This new information basically supports eating the sort of food we know we should be eating anyway!  I couldn’t sum it up better than New Scientist – the foods that should make up the vast majority of our diet should be the types of food that don’t come with a label.

Lots of fruit and vegetables which are high in fibre and tend to be harder, crunchier (keep veg steamed or lightly boiled, no over boiled soggy cabbage please!) and take more chewing than other foods, should make up a large part of our diet. 

Proteins should also be consumed regularly.  The best types are lean meats (not processed types like ham, burgers and sausages), fish, tofu, nuts and seeds.

Carbohydrates should be complex and wholemeal – oats, brown rice, bulgar wheat and some wholemeal bread or pasta are ideal.  Simple carbs like sugar, white bread, white pasta and rice should be avoided.

Pulses and beans like lentils, beans and peas are high in fibre, protein and complex carbs so brilliant to include regularly in your diet.

In short exactly what we know we should be eating!!!

So when looking at food labels, don’t read the calorie content, read the ingredients.  Look for all natural ingredients, no preservatives or sugar and ideally as few ingredients as possible.  If it contains anything you have never heard of or cannot pronounce, put it back on the shelf.

Three Section Brownie Pan

Valentines Day is a great opportunity to show your loved one just how sweet you think they are, and there are many delicious ways to do that. Of course, there is the traditional box of chocolates, but if you want to be a bit more creative and unique, you can try something homemade.

A cake is a fail safe valentine dessert, and there are many ways to make it special for the occasion. You can bake your cake with a heart-shaped pan, or use a knife to cut a heart shape out of a circular layer cake. If you choose the latter option, you can do a double layer cake, cut a heart out of the top layer, and fill it with jelly or ice cream. Smaller individual size heart shaped cakes are also popular.

Cupcakes are a fun and versatile way to say “I Love You.” For example, what could be more expressive than chocolate cupcakes with fudge frosting and white lettering on top? You could personalise the message or you could just go for a one word message such as “romance”, “love”, “valentine”, or “mine”. Another cute cupcake idea is brownie heart cupcakes. Make a pan of brownies, and when they are finished using a small heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out brownie hearts. Then make your chocolate cupcakes, frost them with vanilla frosting, and top them with your brownie hearts – simple and elegant.

Cut-out sugar cookies are easy and can be decorated a number of different ways. If you colour your batter with food colouring, you can make them red or pink and cut them out as all different shaped hearts. They can also be layered together with jelly centres or decorated with sprinkles or red dots. Icing and messages could also be added if you so desire.

If cookies are your thing, but you want something a little different, brown sugar meringue cookies could be for you. Baked in the shape of a heart, these can be “brushed” with food colouring or left au natural, but either way they have a classy look about them. Light and delicious all by themselves, they can also be dressed up a bit if you put two together with some ice cream in the centre, and you have meringue cookie ice cream sandwiches.

And of course, you can never go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries. Although they are a bit messy and labour intensive, the results are certainly worth the effort. For the seriously ambitious, you can use both white chocolate and dark chocolate when you are dipping them and make them look like they are wearing tuxedos. You will definitely get an “A” for effort on that one.

Looking for something to take with you on the road, or a snack to munch at your desk? Forget about those awful Powerbars and other various soy bars. Granola bars are OK, but they do not have much protein. High quality protein bars are available at the store, but for $5 a pop! We are looking for something cheap and easy, and here it is. Do-it-yourself, homemade protein bars.

Homemade Protein Bars: The Recipe

3 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 1/2 cups dried milk

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 cup lite syrup

2 scoops protein powder

2 large egg whites or 1 egg

1 1/4 cup orange juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup raisins or dried fruit

Start by preheating the oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper, or spray on some non-stick butter flavored Pam spray. In a large metal bowl, mix all the ingredients until the oats are well coated. Spread the mix onto the cookie sheet and press down to make 10 cutting lines so you can separate them into 10 protein bars later. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, cut them apart and allow to cool before wrapping. The bars can be stored airtight at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Optional Upgrades

Nutty Bars – use 1 cup chopped nuts instead of dried fruit or raisins.

Fruity Bars – experiment with various extracts other than vanilla to change up the flavor.

The Protein Bar Diet – make a whole bunch of these bars with various fruits and nuts, and various flavors of protein powder. Eat the bars for 3 out of 5 meals each day and make the other two meals small. Do this for a month and see if you don’t drop a couple pounds.

Who likes peanut butter?

Who likes brownies?

If you are anything like me or the rest of the bodybuilding / powerlifting / weightlifting world, you answered ‘ME ME ME!’ to both questions. If so, this recipe is for you. I could not post an easier recipe and prepping a meal can’t be quicker unless you are unwrapping a protein bar. That said, on with the recipe!

Peanut Butter Protein Brownies : The Recipe

1 scoop of protein powder; chocolate, vanilla, or peanut butter

1 tablespoon natural peanut butter

milk or water

Mix all ingredients together in a small glass bowl; do not use plastic. If the resulting mixture is too thick add a couple drops of milk or water to loosen it up until it reaches your desired consistency. Since it is already in a glass bowl, microwave on high for 30-45 seconds. Mixture should come out to a cake/brownie like consistency.

Many friends of mine have doubted this recipe, thinking the peanut butter protein brownies would be mediocre at best. Instead what they find is a protein party in their mouths. Give this one a try for a quick high protein, high ‘healthy-fats’ snack.

Today’s Lesson About Plastics

The reason I make a big deal about the use of a glass bowl, is because you do not want to be cooking anything in microwave safe plastic containers. Plastic containers contain trace amounts of phytoestrogens, which seep into food when it is stored or cooked inside such containers. A lifetime of these estrogens can have a negative impact on testosterone levels and they tend to promote cancer in laboratory animals. It might not kill you, but your best bet in today’s toxic society is to avoid anything that could possibly be related to cancer. Every little bit helps.
