What is your favorite low cal recipe?

  • What is your absolute all time favorite low cal recipe?
  • Hmm--I'm not much of a cook so I don't really have a recipe. There are several things I like, such as chicken breast marinated in low fat italian dressing and grilled or baked, also black beans with salsa. I also happen to like cooked carrots and baked sweet potatoes. Again, no real recipes here so I'm not much help on this one.
  • i don't cook much either...well recipe cook. i usually will have tilapia baked in the oven with onion and celery on it. chicken breasts. a couple things i have been doing is subsituting things... like i had a grilled cheese yesterday... i had 2 pieces of wheat bread sprayed both sides with spray butter (0 cal 0 fat) fat free cheese and a pickle. so it was total 200 calories with some healthy choice soup. it was so good! i also make a linguini salad with noodles, fat free italian and salad supreme. its nice to be able to sub with healthy things and still eat what you used to!
  • My favorite low calorie recipe is to cook a boneless skinless chicken breast with some cilantro and cumin. I then shred it and put it over shreded lettuce with lime juice, black beans and grape tomatoes. If I want to add a bit more calories to it I will add a few slices of avacado and some fat free shredded cheddar.

    This is my absolute favorite dinner. Sometimes I will make it without the chicken and just have it with the beans.
