Dietitian Who Lost 100 Pounds Shares The Easy Meatloaf Recipe That’s Perfect For Slimming Down: ‘Nutritious And Delicious’

When you’re trying your hardest to eat well and lose weight, it can be super hard to resist hearty comfort foods that feel like an indulgence. With this dietitian’s recipe, you’ll be able to enjoy a homemade classic dinner without worrying about hindering your weight loss.

Registered dietitian, mom of three, and TikTok creator Ilana Muhlstein has been making accessible and straightforward weight loss content after losing 100 pounds over the years. Last week, she posted a video sharing her easy recipe for a “veggie-packed” meatloaf that’ll satisfy your comfort food cravings while giving you added sources of fiber and protein, two essential dietary elements for weight loss.

In her video, Muhlstein states that her meatloaf is “so nice and tasty” and contains healthy ingredients that won’t hinder your weight loss progress. Plus, it comes with a glaze on top, making it even more reminiscent of the meatloaf you may have been served as a kid. Check out how she makes it below.

Muhlstein, whose username is ‘Nutrition Babe,’ begins making her meatloaf mixture by grating one entire zucchini and a large carrot. She uses cheesecloth to extract moisture from the shredded vegetables before adding them to a pound of ground beef along with other healthy meatloaf ingredients, such as whole grain bread crumbs, an egg, a diced sauteed onion, salt, fresh parsley, Italian seasoning, and ketchup.

She does have a tip on ketchup, instructing her viewers to make sure they purchase a bottle of ketchup that’s “organic or not made with any high fructose corn syrup.”

After putting on gloves and using her hands to combine the beef, seasonings, and vegetables into an evenly blended mixture, she shapes it into a meatloaf and places it in a parchment paper-lined baking pan. Finally, she simply places her meatloaf in a 350°F oven for about an hour until it’s cooked through.
