Mexican Stuffed Chicken With Red Rice

Calories: 479

Serves: 4Cooking time: 25 mins

Our Mexican stuffed chicken with red rice is packed with jalapeño peppers, spinach, and Lancashire cheese. This mouth-watering recipe is ready in 30 minutes and is perfect served with fresh salad.

Chicken breasts are much lower in fat and calories than thighs for example, which is why they make a great choice in this recipe. Choosing to make flavoured rice from scratch is also a good way to cut calories and fat as some packet rice has high nutritional values.

As this dish is predominantly made with chicken, it is a high protein option keeping you fuller for longer. The spinach, tomatoes and peppers total three of your five a day in just one portion.

Low Fat High Protein Taco Soup

Lentil and cauliflower pilaf (low

Looking for a healthy alternative to Taco Tuesday? This is it.

Now, one beef taco can contain as much as 9.0 grams of fat. And goodness knows, you cant stop at just one, right?

This taco soup has all the flavors of a taco, without all the fat. It has nicely browned meat, chili beans, corn, and kidney beans.

The green chiles add a nice heat, while the tomato sauce adds some tang. Meanwhile, the fire-roasted tomatoes add smokiness.

The key to keeping it low fat yet high in protein is the meat. Instead of ground beef, you use ground turkey breast, which drastically cuts down the fat.

This dish is a meal in itself, but if you miss the cheese, just sprinkle some on top. Just make sure that its low-fat cheese.

    One serving of this vegan chili comes out to less $1.50 per serving. Thats about the cost of one cup of coffee.

    This chili is hearty, chunky, and filled with deliciousness. And it doesnt skimp on nutrition either.

    One serving provides 18 grams of protein. It also provides 18 grams of fiber, which is more than 70% of your daily fiber needs.

    Its packed with kidney beans, sweet potatoes, and bell peppers. So, it contains lots of vitamins A and C, which are good for your immunity.

    What I love about this dish is that it tastes like its been simmering for hours. But it hasnt.

    In fact, it takes only 5 minutes to cook. Thats because you use an Instant Pot.

    Instant Pots are great for making food quickly, including foods that take longer to cook like dried beans. So, they save you both time and money.

    Creamy Kabocha Squash And Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

    Low
    • Black pepper

    Directions:

  • Soak the cashews in water overnight. If you do not have time to, you can also bring a small pot of water to a boil, remove it from heat and add in the cashews. Allow them to soak until you blend the sauce together .
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and position the rack to the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Wash and dry the kabocha squash, place it on the baking sheet and into the oven for 18-20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool until the squash is easy to handle. If the stem of it is protruding, use a knife to carefully remove it. Slice the squash in half vertically, then scoop out the seeds and fiber using a spoon. Slice the squash into 1-inch wedges, trying to keep the slices uniform for even cooking. Place 6 or 7 the slices of the cooked squash onto your lined baking sheet. The remaining kabocha squash can be cooked on an additional baking sheet with the same baking time and directions below. It can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Using your hands, remove loose skin from the outside of the head of garlic. With a sharp knife, cut 1/4-inch off the top of the garlic, or enough to expose the tops of the cloves. Place the garlic head onto the baking sheet along with the cauliflower florets, onions, celery, and carrots. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place back into the oven for 40 minutes, flipping/mixing halfway through.

    Beef In Black Bean Sauce

    Calories: 243

    Serves: 4Cooking time: 5 mins

    This version of the Chinese classic is so low in calories you can add a serving of rice or noodles to it and still come in at under 500 calories. Infused with soy sauce, fresh ginger and red chilli, this is one of our favourite midweek low calorie meals.

    In this recipe, weve used a readymade sachet of black bean stir-fry sauce. When purchasing your sauce, make sure you look for a sauce that has a low fat and salt content otherwise the calories will differ. You could also swap the beef in this recipe for chicken instead, this will reduce the calorie count even further as chicken is much lower in calories than beef.

    This dinner takes just five minutes to cook and is ideal for sharing on a Saturday night instead of your average takeaway. It takes just two steps to make this low calorie meal making it a super easy option.

    Baked Sausage And Gnocchi Gratin

    Calories: 457

    Serves: 6Cooking time: 25 mins

    This hearty baked sausage and gnocchi gratin is infused with fennel, chilli flakes, and fresh herbs. Gnocchi is commonly thought to be a high-calorie food but in this recipe, weve limited the amount per person to around 80g each thats 131 calories and 0.2g of fat per portion of gnocchi.

    Claire says Gnocchi is an ideal substitute for high-calorie pasta options and is perfectly suited to mixing in vegetables and grain. Fennel is a high fibre contribution that makes you feel fuller for longer and has been shown to help moderate blood sugar release as part of a meal. To reduce the calories, swap out the sausage for super firm tofu substitute, which is rich in protein.

    This hearty family meal takes just 25 minutes to bake and serves four to six people. A portion of this mouthwatering dish also counts as one of your five-a-day.
