Answer 1

Chicken Kiev

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine, softened
1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
6 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups Cornflakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup skim milk

Mix margarine, parsley and garlic powder and shape into a rectangle (3 x 2 inches). Cover and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Remove excess fat from chicken and flatten each to 1/4-inch thickness between waxed paper. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut margarine into 6 pieces and place 1 piece on each chicken breast. Fold sides of chicken breasts over margarine and secure with wooden toothpicks.

Mix Cornflakes, parsley and paprika. Dip chicken into milk and then evenly coat with Cornflake mixture. Place chicken breasts seam side down on a baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake uncovered about 35 minutes or until chicken is done.

Stay away from carrots and corn for a couple of weeks because they are loaded with carbs. Try spinach, tomatos and onions. ALSO you may want to use regular oil and vinegar dressings instead of the low fat ones because those replace the fat with sugars and carbs and thats no good either.

Buy boneless skinless chicken breasts and sprinkle all purpose seasonings on the.

Add a tbsp of oil (any kind veggie or olive will do) to a sauce pan and sautee. Top the breasts with chopped onion and tomatos and you can serve that with whole grain rice or uncooked baby spinach with a vinegratte. Enjoy!

Soups (broth-based ones, not creamy ones) are great because they really fill you up without a lot of calories and fat; also they're an easy way to get a variety of vegetables into your diet. I like to make mine from scratch when I can, and it's easy, but if you read labels there are a lot of decent canned soups out there too.

Another thing: many of the things you may already love to eat (like pizza and pasta and French bread) are now available in whole-wheat or multigrain versions. If you haven't tried them yet, you can make a lot of your favorite recipes with them and hardly notice the difference in taste (really!) And since they have more fiber, a smaller portion is as satisying as a larger one, saving you calories.

When our son was born, my husband and I replaced the candy dish that always used to be on the side table with a bowl of fruit. Over time, we all learned to reach for the fruit instead of sweets or chips. My favorite during the winter are those little tiny Mandarin oranges; they're almost like candy.

Oh, and did you know that if you don't drown it in butter, popcorn is a whole-grain treat that's good for you?

Answer 5

What kind of foods do you like? I've heard that you should eat a salad a day because it takes more calories for your body to digest it than what is actually in the salad. This is probably an old wives tale, but it sounds good doesn't it? :-)

One of my fav low cal dinners is fish, steamed veggies and a little rice. Very satisfying, healthy and low cal. Don't forget to work out! All the diet in the world doesn't make a bit of difference unless you work out!
