Well, my husband is back on his diet, he follows the biggest loser one, it works great!
So dinner's this week----
Baked potatoes and salad. I spray the taters with olive oil no-cal cooking spray, then rub sea salt on them. (pierce all over and then dry before) pop in the oven for about 45 min @ 425* I make several and re-heat for lunches.
Pita pizzas- take a pita, slit it all the way around and pull apart carefully, now you've got two, and half the calories to boot! Top with best choice brand garden vegetable spaghetti sauce(it is the lowest cal/best tasting one I have found so far), low fat moz cheese, and then Hormel turkey pepperonis are really low cal, or top with bell peppers, or your fav veggie. Cook in oven @350* until the cheese melts. We usually have two each, very yummy.
Bacon, lettuce wraps- They have these tortillas in the cold section near the eggs and butter at our store that are only 50 cals for a tortilla. I cook turkey bacon, and then we add lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and other veggies with mustard, or salad dressing. The tortillas are great for wraps, we use them for bean burritos too. They do not heat well though, we tried to once and they get hard and rubbery in the oven, just fyi.
Stir Fry- I will use firm tofu or chicken, the tofu is the least amount of Cal's though. I squeeze the tofu with paper towels to get out the excess water (this makes it more firm), cut into cubes, then add just a few drops of EVO in the pan and cracked pepper, meanwhile I put a tbs of natural peanut butter in the microwave to soften, add a little soy sauce, stir, then add one egg, stir some more. Pour this over the top of the tofu while it's cooking. It coats the tofu, and makes it taste so good!, Oh yeah.....add a bit of cayenne to this mixture, it rocks! When I use chicken, I omit the egg/peanut butter mixture, and just season the chicken with salt, cracked pepper, and soy sauce. In another pan I saute the veggies, I buy the best choice brand of stir-fry veggies. Cover it with a lid so the veggies soften faster, then near the end remove lid, pour out excess water and turn the burner up for a few minutes. Serve with minute rice.....the point is to use as little rice as possible because that is where the most calories are!
This is my menu for the week.
