Does anyone have a recipe that would fit this?

Question

i like pizza and garlic bread or pasta. i like all those things but im on a low calorie diet. what recipe could taste good and be low calorie

Answer 1

You could have all three, not at the same time, if you make sure that you have small portions. Or you could combine the flavors. Pasta tossed with a little garlic powder and olive oil served as a SIDE dish, that means salad, vegetables and protein. The size of the serving needs to be determined by your diet. Ask a professional about it as all diets should be individualized.

Answer 2

Dark Bread Is The Best But Try This Instead Chicken Is Very Good For You !

LOW-CALORIE THAI RED CURRY CHICKEN

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked, cut in strips
250 ml (about 1 cup) Red Curry Sauce (e.g. Sharwood's Thai Red Curry, low calorie, internationally available, and tastes great!)
1/2 large green pepper, cut in strips
1/3 large cucumber, sliced
6 large mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon citrus marmalade (you should aim to purchase a low-sugar marmalade with about 20 cal/tbsp)
1 cup steamed Jasmine Rice
1/2 jalapeno pepper (optional)

In a non-stick skillet or wok, stir-fry the pepper, cucumber, and mushrooms in the lime juice and marmalade at medium-high heat. Do not use oil. Stir-fry for five minutes or until the mushrooms darken in color. Add the curry sauce and chicken to the skillet. Stir to coat chicken and vegetables evenly. (You may also add the jalapeno if you desire a spicier sauce. Press the pepper into the pan while cooking to release the pepper's juices into the sauce.) Let the sauce and ingredients simmer for five minutes on medium-high, then remove from heat. Serve over steamed jasmine rice.

Comments: No oil or coconut milk, and it still tastes great! (The Sharwood's curry, however, includes coconut milk in its ingredients, but it must be a low-cal version because Sharwood's is only 170 cal / 125 mL of sauce.) I recommend baking the chicken breast ahead of time for the healthiest preparation.

It is traditional in Thai cooking to serve cucumber raw on the side or arranged around the plate. My recipe suggests frying the cucumber in the lime juice and marmalade. It is simply a personal preference, and I find it tastes great. Also, you may serve the dish with crushed peanuts on top, but this adds fat, calories and protein (and the chicken breast already provides protein).

Serves 2. Calorie Total Per Serving:

Chicken: 80 cal Curry Sauce: 170 cal (for Sharwood's) Rice: 150 cal Marmalade: 10 cal Total: 410 cal

Enjoy this easy-to-make, great-tasting, oil-free, low-calorie Thai dinner! It's guaranteed to pleas

Greek Chicken Pasta

As is it has 11 grams of fat, which isn't THAT bad. But change the feta cheese to fat free, cut down on the kalamata olives, and use half the pasta and it's really low fat - and delicious!

Use tortilla shells instead of pasta and use low-fat or no fat cheeses and sour cream. Make sure to add lots of spices on your own or an enchilada sauce instead of tomato sauce. You get lots of good-for-you food and you will feel full. - I made this last night for my family.

Answer 6

use flour tortillas, tomatoes, garlic, and low-fat cheese to make a "pizza" in the oven. i toast the tortilla slightly first. you can also add veggies, but be careful - too much will make it soggy.
instead of pasta, use spagetti squash.

Answer 7

It is determined by the fruit or veggie linked to a comparison. If perhaps you compare a n to a carrot, the carrot is the better of the two nutritional. When you compare an avocado to the carrot, then an avocado is better. The two the apple and avocado, are fruits.
