Always Won

I've been searching for some good recipes online, but I can't seem to find any with low enough calories. I want to take them to school with me (and use the remaining calories on fresh fruit).

I'd like them to be under 200 calories each and preferably vegetarian.

Any ideas?

Answer
my suggestion is Hummus and grilled vegetable wrap

i'm not so sure about how much calories this wrap roll has (i guess about 300 per serving) but its one of my favorites and is very easy to make and tasty too..

Ingredients:

2 medium courgettes, cut lengthwise into slices
2 tsps olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
240ml store-bought hummus
4 pieces wholemeal wrap bread
¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
1 medium red pepper, thinly sliced

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced into half moons
¼ cup fresh mint leaves

so now i'm quickly gonna tell you how to make it.. :)

1) Preheat a griddle or griddle pan over medium heat. Brush both sides of the courgette slices with the oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Griddle until tender and slightly browned, about 4 minutes per side.

2) Spread 2 tablespoons of the hummus over each piece of bread. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of pine nuts on top. Top with three slices of courgette, two pieces of red pepper, 1/2 cup of the spinach, a few sliced onions and 1 tablespoon of the mint.

and its ready :)

this wrap role is an Excellent Source of Copper, Fibre, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Thiamin, Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Protein, Niacin, Potassium, Riboflavin, Vitamin K and Zinc.. :)

have fun :)

Q. Post the nutrition info if you can! Thanks. :)

Answer
I know this. This is my favorite recipe ever, and normally chicken parm that you find in a resturaunt is 600 calories.


Ingredients:
5 oz. boneless skinless chicken breast (raw)
1/3 cup Fiber One cereal
1/4 cup Egg Beaters, Original
3/4 tsp. reduced fat grated parmesan cheese
1 oz. (approx. 1/4 cup) shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup canned tomato sauce
Optional: garlic powder, basil, oregano, salt and pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One cereal to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add parmesan to crumbs (if desired, season crumbs with optional spices, as well). Place crumbs in one small dish and Egg Beaters in another. Next, pound your chicken so it's a bit flattened. Coat raw chicken on both sides with Egg Beaters, and then coat with crumb mixture. Place chicken on a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Spray a light mist of nonstick spray on top of chicken and place in oven. Cook for 10 minutes, and then turn chicken over. Add another light mist of nonstick spray and cook for an additional 10 - 12 minutes (or until chicken is fully cooked and coating looks crispy). Meanwhile, if desired, mix tomato sauce with your seasonings of choice. Remove chicken from oven, top with sauce and then cheese, and return chicken to oven until cheese is melted. Enjoy! Serves 1.

What are some (healthy, low calorie) recipes that have either canned tomatoes or sour cream, or both?

**

I have a lot to use up but I'm unsure what to make with either of these. I want them to be low calorie.

Answer
Penne (Arribiata)

Makes 2 servings.
Bring water to boil in a large pot for pasta. Salt the water when it comes to boil. (1 Tbsp)

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
2 large clove garlic, minced (not pressed) DO NOT USE JAR GARLIC!!!
1 14 oz can (petite) diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley
Salt/pepper to taste

Heat a 8" frying pan, or 10" saute on med/med hi heat. Pour in oil. Add red pepper, saute for about 45 secs. Then put it minced garlic. Stir to saute. Do not brown the garlic! If it's too hot, lift the pan off the heat. Takes about 30 secs and that's it. Add diced tomatoes, pus liquid. Bring to simmer, lower heat.

Toss the penne in the boiling water. Cook to al dente/directions on package.

Stir the tomato mix while the pasta is cooking. It should take about 15 minutes to cook the tomatoes (the mixture will get a darker red.)

Drain the pasta, plate or bowl, and pour on sauce. Garnish with additional Italian parsley, and Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve with good hearty bread and a salad.

You can experiment with the amount of garlic and red pepper that you prefer. If I don't have Italian, or even fresh, parsley, I just use dried. (I dry it in the oven)

What are some good, healthy, low calorie recipes for side dishes?

Half Crazy

I have lost 30 lbs in 3 months, but it is getting boring - I eat mostly grilled veggies, grilled chicken and fresh frult.. anything to jazz it up - something that has worked for you.. THANKS!

Answer
I use a lot of the Ground Turkey - the one that is like 85/15 or something - it has very little grease but just cook it, drain it, rinse it to get the most grease out if you can and than put back in pan to warm up again
Turkey Salad w/ Salsa, tomato's, GREEN lettuce (not the white) Onion's if you like, Grated Cheese (just a little) & Blue Corn Chips (optional) I used Flax Seed Chips and crush them up mix w/ the salsa and other ingredients if you choose or eat like a normal salad

I used Fish a lot as well and most people don't believe this but Crab Cakes are very good for you and make a nice Mesculin Salad w/ grapefruit slices and a lil lemony type dressing - use organic w/ NO SOY

Take non processed shaved meats or raw type salmon cut a cucumber 1/4 to make a long cup - make sure to shave off rind (it isn't good for you) fill w/ cream cheese, meats, veggies like diced tomatoes for a cucumber bread roll type sandwich

Eat more veggies and less fruits - Fruit is fine but it is loaded w/ sugar and carbs - natural of course but it is better to eat more veggies than fruit - you most likely know this but just putting it in

Egg Whites or Lentil type Beans are another great option - good source of Fiber

Congrats on your 30lb weight loss

Low calorie foods that work well with salsa or spinach dip?

nike_adebo

Don't tell me tostitos because each chip is 20 calories.

Answer
You can get wheat or soy pita bread, cut into wedges, and bake until crispy (usually 10 minutes at 400 degrees). They might have calories, but it's good calories, not fried oil calories. If you're willing to sacrifice a few more calories you can drizzle olive oil on them and sprinkle with salt & pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, herbs, etc., and then bake. Yum!!

Answer
Sugar-Free Jello with Low Fat Cool Whip is one of my favorite desserts when being healthy. Plus you can add fruits or almost anything into it...YUMM!!!

Also it is really good to just cut a pear in half and put into the oven for 3 1/2 minutes in an oven at 350 and then when you take it out put some Cool Whip in the middle. It is relatively healthy and delicious

I'm losing weight in a sensible manner, counting calories and exercising and all that but I'm beginning to get bored. I've lost 15 pounds so far and have another 28 or so to go before I get to my goal weight and don't want to fall off track because I'm bored with the food.

Answer
Oh I have a bunch of good ones I found in a recipe book...
Low Calorie, Low Carb, Low Sodium, Low Sat Fat, Heart Healthy...
Grilled Orange Chicken Fingers
The simple, sweet orange glaze for the chicken can be whipped up fast; marinating time is just 15 minutes and the marinade caramelizes deliciously on the grill. Serve this with carrot sticks and baked potato wedges, tossed with herbs and olive oil.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cut chicken crosswise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Whisk mustard, orange juice concentrate, honey, sesame oil and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the chicken and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare grill or preheat the broiler. Oil the grill rack or coat a broiler pan with cooking spray. Remove the chicken strips from the marinade, discarding remaining marinade. Grill or broil the chicken until no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Season with salt and serve.
Per serving: 173 calories; 4 g fat (1 g sat, 1 g mono); 63 mg cholesterol; 10 g carbohydrate; 23 g protein; 0 g fiber; 341 mg sodium; 249 mg potassium.
Selenium (28% daily value), Vitamin C (15% dv).

Lemon-Pepper Catfish
Though catfish is tender enough to be quickly sautéed, its firm flesh also stands up well to the grill. This recipe works best with thicker fillets.
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1-2 teaspoons finely crushed black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 catfish fillets (about 1 pound total)
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
Whisk together lemon juice, oil, pepper and salt in a shallow nonreactive dish. Add catfish and turn to coat with marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat grill or broiler. Grill or broil fish on a lightly oiled rack, turning once, until the fish is opaque, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Serve with lemon wedges.
Per serving: 223 calories; 16 g fat (3 g sat, 9 g mono); 53 mg cholesterol; 2 g carbohydrate; 18 g protein; 0 g fiber; 351 mg sodium; 363 mg potassium.
Selenium (20% daily value), Vitamin C (16% dv).

Smoked Salmon Salad Nicoise
This twist on a classic salade Niçoise uses smoked salmon in place of tuna and adds extra vegetables in place of hard-boiled eggs and olives. Lovely served as an untraditional brunch, special weekend lunch or light supper.
8 ounces small red potatoes, scrubbed and halved
6 ounces green beans, preferably thin haricots verts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
6 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 small cucumber, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
12 small cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
4 ounces smoked salmon, cut into 2-inch pieces
Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place potatoes in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover and steam until tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Add green beans to the steamer, cover and steam until tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the green beans with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Transfer the potatoes and beans to a towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, dill and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and green beans, salad greens, cucumber and tomatoes; toss gently to coat. Divide the salad and smoked salmon between 2 plates.
Per serving: 291 calories; 7 g fat (1 g sat, 2 g mono); 17 mg cholesterol; 40 g carbohydrate; 19 g protein; 9 g fiber; 651 mg sodium; 1,092 mg potassium.
Nutrition bonus: Vitamin A & Vitamin C (120% daily value), Potassium (31% dv), Iron (25% dv), Calcium (15% dv), high omega-3s.
2 1/2 Carbohydrate Servings

Chicken Paprikash
Brilliant red paprika, the main seasoning in Hungarian cooking, gives this light version of chicken paprikash its color. Vary the heat by using hot, sweet or a combination of paprikas. Serve over whole-wheat egg noodles with a side of steamed broccoli and a cool fruit salad for dessert.
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large green bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons hot or sweet paprika
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

I have celiac disease and im going out to eat at Legal Seafoods. What is the lowest calorie meal on the....?

Q. gluten free menu? im on a diet and dont want to mess it up thanks

Answer
First of all, I envy you going to Legal Seafood. What a wonderful place to eat!!

If you go to http://www.legalseafoods.com you can look at their menus at each location and they do have a gluten free menu online. They don't have calories posted but you can get an idea ahead of time anyway and then when you get there, ask for the gluten free menu.

Enjoy!!

what is a good tasting low calorie meal from a seafood restaurant???

ellieeee

I need the lowest calorie fish and sides :]
Thank you!!

Answer
Any white fish that's not fried (i.e. baked anything). Shellfish like shrimp or even lobster, if you hold all the melted butter are fine. Sides might be harder to tell. Anything that is fried or has a creamy sauce would be out. Steamed veggies and rice would be low cal. Hope this helps. :) However, splurging once in a while isn't going to hurt you, I promise!

What to eat at a seafood restaurant that's low in calories?

Q. Tomorrow I'm going shopping with my family, and we have decided on going to Landry's to eat. I have never been there before. I only know that Landry's is a seafood restaurant. I would like to eat something with not too many calories, but not something that's noticeable. What I mean by "something that's not noticeable" is that I don't want to be eating a salad or anything like that. If you know any of the calorie counts, I would love for it to be under 500 calories. Also, if there's nothing under 500 calories there, then maybe you could suggest a different restaurant, please? Thank you for taking the time to read this. I will give ten points to the best answer.

Answer
Most seafood is healthy as long as it's not covered in butter, cream or oil. You can check out the menu on line and see what they've got before going.

What are the best healthy cereals to eat for breakfast? Low calorie high fiber? But tasty?

Sassy Shut

Answer
Two good choices for breakfast cereals are that are tasty and high fibre are grits and oatmeal. Both are simple to make and more importantly, they don't have add the added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc. that so many other cereals have. To jazz up grits, I usually add some oven roasted asparagus or kale for a morning dose of green vegetables. With oatmeal, I like to add fruit, like peaches or bananas and sweeten things up with a little agave nectar.
