I have stated numerous times the importance of having a diet that you enjoy to be able to stick on it long term. That being said, you need coping mechanisms to integrate your favourite treats here and there as well as enjoy social settings without falling off the wagon.
Personally, i really enjoy baking cakes when I have guests or just a rough day. After years into Fitness industry and coaching, I have realized that I can enjoy anything i want, just by swapping calorie dense ingredients with a healthier, more nutritious version without sacrificing the taste.
Today I am sharing with you three cakes I made recently, that blew my mind (spoiler: all of them got vanished within 2 days) and you can enjoy guilt-free. If that sounds interesting, take a (heavy) breath and dive in the food porn below. I have also calculated the macros and calories for you.
The idea: make them with fewer calories, get them packed with protein to keep blood sugar in check and skip refined sugar.
BONUS:
I have also calculated the macros (and some micros) as well as calories for you. Each cake has around 12 slices and the macros are calculated for each serving (1 slice)
