Weight Loss vs Weight Gain with Shepherd’s Pie and Sweet Potato Chips
This is one of the better meals to show you how to make it more weight loss/weight gain friendly because it has so many different areas you can add or subtract calories. On the weight loss side we used ground turkey instead of ground beef. In meals like this where the meat is covered in a sauce it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the two types of meat. The weight loss side also uses mashed cauliflower as the potato topping saving even more calories and carbohydrates. Lastly there is a smaller serving of sweet potatoes. You could just as easily increase the amount of vegetables in the meat mixture and lessen the quantity of meat. .

The weight gain side uses ground beef instead of turkey and the serving of the meat mixture is larger. Inside of the meat mixture is a combination of mixed vegetables. One way that helps disguise vegetables in your food is to include them in sauces and make sure they have similar texture and size to the good tasting components of the dish, in this case the meat. If they all have similar size, texture, and flavor from the sauce then your mouth might not be able to tell the difference. The potato mixture on this side is part cauliflower and part real potatoes. You can certainly go 100% potato but it’s nice to get an easy source of vegetable in too. Being less conservative with oil used during cooking can also increase the calorie load by a wide margin!!
