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 healthy, low calorie vegan recipes?
Sarah
I'm trying to lose weight and remain vegan. I'm going food shopping this coming weekend. What are some good recipes, snack foods, etc?
Answer
hay on a plate
many vegans claim humans are herbivores.. horses and cattle are herbivores and like hay so it should be just fine for "we are herbivores" vegans

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
