I'm trying to keep the weight off. My favorite foods are of course, high calorie. So I'm looking for recipes that are low in calories that are actually good. Have any you've made and would like to recommend?
LOVE kale chips, dehydrated tomato chips (no seasoning needs to be added, the sodium in the tomatoes concentrates so they are salty), roasted chickpeas, airpopped popcorn with nutritional yeast.KALE CHIPS! So good for when you want something crunchy and salty. They are so healthy for you too! Lots of iron and fibre.

I've been on a grilled vegetable kick lately with my grill basket.
Last night I mixed up a marinade in a zip lock bag of evoo, white balsamic vinegar, a tablespoon of Italian spices and salt. To the bag I added whole white mushrooms, sliced zucchini, onion wedges, 3" pieces of asparagus, and wedges of green, red and yellow bell peppers. Let the veggies marinate for at least an hour, and then dump the whole bag into your grill basket over an open flame. Keep the veggies moving with a long spatula till they're done to your liking. Along with a grilled piece of chicken, it makes a wonderful low calorie meal !
