Check out www.foodtv.com and look at Rachel Ray's 30-minute meals. She just had a show about a great low-fat meal. Plus, they'll have other ones too. If you're looking for a site that has many low-fat meals, go to www.epicurious.com and go to the "cooking light" section. You'll find tons of ideas!

I often find that using "regular" recipes and substituing lower fat items (cheese, milk, broth, leaner cuts of meat) helps in lowering the fat and calorie content. I mean, we know by now what is good for us and what isn't, we can easily amend any recipe.

Answer 3

This sounds weird, but everyone I have told loves it....

I can of water packed Tuna
1 tart apple such as Fiji or Mcintosh cut into small cubes
1 baked potato with skin cut into small cubes..
Mix with fat free Wishbone Italian Dressing to taste.

Its quick, easy and great!

I also cube 1 cooked chicken breast, mix it with chopped romain lettuce, banana pepper slices and homemade italian dressing and eat it in a wrap or pita.

(I don't like to make time consuming meals ! )

Answer 4

try to eat boiled stuff like boiled chicken and boiled vegetables or grilled things are not very fattening too and they taste good
