Re: Gaining?

So what is in pizza toppings?

Hi Liv,

This is the recipe as it was posted-you are on your own as far as amounts. Since it is a pizza, you can put whatever you want and how much you want. I looked at this as a Basic recipe to be tweaked as you like.

Pizza Cassarole

Ingredients :

1lb Jimmy Dean Regular Pork Sausage
Pepperoni
1 jar Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce
diced Onion
diced Green Pepper
sliced Green Olives
sliced Black Olives
Mushrooms
Mozarella Cheese - shredded
Cheddar Cheese - shredded

Instructions :

brown 1 lb Jimmy Dean Sausage , just about when its finished cooking throw your onion & green pepper into the sausage for quick heating. Is not necessary to cook veggies fully. Place sausage, onion & green pepper mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 cake pan. Cover with 1 jar Ragu Homestyle Pizza sauce. Cover with shredded Mozarella & Cheddar Cheese.
Next, cover cheese with pepperoni slices, then adding your green olives, black olives and mushrooms. Cover again with another layer of shredded Mozarella and cheddar cheese.

Bake uncovered for approx. 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees , until the top is golden brown.



These are the amounts and ingredients I used.

Pizza Casserole

Ingredients :

1lb Jimmy Dean Regular Pork Sausage
Hormal Pepperoni 1 oz little rounds (1/2 of 1 oz package)

2.5 oz diced Onion
1.5 oz diced Green Pepper
1.5 oz sliced Black Olives
3 oz canned Mushrooms

This is one way I would make a topping for a crusted pizza as well.

Re: Gaining?

I didn't use pork...I put in some lean ground beef, grn pepper, onion, mushroom and some pizza sauce with only 2g carbs! I used about 2oz of cheese!
I only had about a fist full in portion because I made a big salad! Sooooooooooooooo I dunno ladies! I think in the next few days I will leave cheese out?

Re: Gaining?

On fit day its saying 18g I know I'm suposed to be in the 25g mark now...so how do I up my veggies if Im rarely even hungry these days?

Re: Gaining?

I started OWL just a couple of days ago. I had been losing in the first two weeks and feeling amazing. Now just 3 days after starting OWL I feel as though something is wrong...Im bloated, and gaining! Maybe I am not doing this right??? I'm eating pretty well the same, only adding more stuff like spinach.
Today is my menu:

breakfast:
2 eggs scrambled
3 asparagus stalks

lunch:
Pizza toppings with a caesar salade

Dinner:
4oz cod baked in butter with garlic
broccoli and grn beans steamed

This is a typical menu (give or take chicken or beef for supper)
Normally I dont have pizza toppings, this was leftover from a pizza caserol I made last night (recipe from this website)
Im frustrated and wondering whats up!

Anyways,

Thanks in advance for any answers!

Depending on what you put in the pizza casserole, If you made it as the recipe suggested, there is 1# of sausage, pepperoni, cheese, olives, all foods high on the sodium side, and that could cause a temporary wight gain.
And I do not know how much you ate, but I found it to be very high in carbs, calories, fat, and to eat a reasonable "portion", it was not very filling.
It was very tasty, but not worth eating/wasting all those calories and carbs and fat, if you don't feel full. And actually, both days I had some, I had some problems as well. Much worse than "bloat!"

As good as it tasted, I don't think I will make it again.

Re: Gaining?

How much water have you had?

When was the last time you had a good poop?

Sometimes bloating happens because the day of the week ends in "y".

How many net carbs from vegetables do you have?
