Diet Recipes

Two things always seem to top dieters’ “No” lists that really don’t have to: creamy soups, and cheese. Using frozen vegetable side dishes available at the store and readily available leftovers, however, means you can have creamy, cheesy soup guilt-free! It’s healthy, filling, satisfies that need for cheese, and at only 104 calories per cup, you could have seconds and still not go off track. Continue reading “Creamy Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese Soup”

When dieting, creamy soups are usually a no-no, but in this case, at less than 150 calories per cup, you have all the more reason to say YES! Hot, thick and creamy, packed with chicken and veggies, this is the perfect soup for chilly days and how to get rid of leftovers without making another stir fry. Continue reading “Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup”

One of the things I miss about California is fish tacos, but I know how easy it is to take something as healthy as that and overload it with fat and calories (Helloooooo ranch). This tuna burrito is flexible in that it can make two small burritos or one big one and still be a guiltless lunch, as well as covering the major food groups in one go. Feel free to swap the tuna out for cod, whiting, tilapia, or any other low-calorie white fish and just adjust the calories you’re taking in with them; same can be applied to your wraps. I just used what was handy, but if you can find lower calorie wraps go right ahead and use those instead. Continue reading “Tunarrito”

This low calorie meal is colourful, aromatic, and massively satisfying. And for only 143 calories per serving that’s packed with protein and vitamins, you couldn’t ask for more in a healthy lunch! Sweet and tangy light brown chicken breast with colourful tri-colour bell peppers, onions and carrots are visually appealing and very good for you, and all sauteed together before cooking down in balamic vinegar and honey. It sounds indulgent and tastes it, but really it has fewer calories than a grocery store chicken chef salad. Continue reading “Honey Balsamic Chicken & Veggies”
