Inspired by the ridiculous/ disgusting/ hilarious website www.thisiswhyyourefat.com I am presenting "This is why you're THIN".
Post your BEST under 300-cal per serving meal or under 120-cal per serving snack/ appetizer/ dessert for fame, love and glory! Every week we'll name a winner who'll get bragging rights (and maybe a badge to put on their page/signature).

Pineapple Pizza
Ragu - Pizza Sauce Homemade Style, 1/4 cup (63g) 30 cal
Sargento - Shredded Part-Skim Mozzerella Cheese, 1/4 cup 80 cal
Trader Joe's - Middle Eastern Flatbread, 1 Slice 130 cal
Dole - Pineapple Chunks In 100% Pineapple Juice - No Sugar Added, 1/2 cup (122g) 70 cal
Per Serving: 310 cal
Prepare, cook 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
I know, it is 10 cal over 300, but come on! Do squats while you're making it, viola, 300 calories! And you can add/change toppings. I bet a veggie one would be less than 300 cals. Add some green peppers, mushrooms, olives. BAM!0 -
My favourite "treat" is granola bars and I got this recipe from a friend for White Chocolate Cranberry Granola Bars. They are super yummy and at about 109 calories per square, not terrible for the diet either. I bring them for potlucks at work and they are always one of the first things to go. I like that the ingredients are all things I have around the house.
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp. reduced fat peanut butter
1 egg white
1 Tbsp. fat free evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1/3 cup vanilla or white chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Mix together the first 7 ingredients in a big bowl. In another bowl, combine well the powdered ingredients and add to the first bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
Press into a 13x9 inch pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 until golden brown (about 18-20 minutes). Score the surface of the bars - cutting into 24 pieces. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cut along score lines.
To make these extra special for the holidays, I'll substitute walnuts for pistachios and add a drizzle of white chocolate over the top - making them red, green & white.0 -
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oats
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar
1/3 cup chocolate chips
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
and Pam or similar for spraying pan
Mix the dry ingredients then add wet ingredients. Stir until thoroughly mixed and drop by 1/3 cup on pan over medium heat so the chocolate chips don't burn.
This is a good basic healthy recipe, so if you want to get creative, don't hesitate! Instead of chocolate chips or in addition to them, you can always add other items like dried fruit and nuts. Enjoy!

My favourite meal is super simple and the star of the show is balsamic vinegar. Before I leave home in the morning, I'll put my pork chops into a balsamic/olive oil marinade. The marinade has chicken broth, minced lemon zest and capers in it also. This portion of the meal is about 250 calories. I pair it with zucchini and carrots sauteed in a the same marinade (but not the one you used).....If you're willing to go over 300 calories, you can add rice to the dish, but most times, I find that I don't need it
Mmmmmm - you have to like Balsamic for this, but it reduces beautifully, makes a great sauce and gives the pork a beautiful colour....0 -

Nothing like a sweet treat that's only 25calories!! Edys fruit bars have no added sugar (all natural, only 2g), had NO fat, cholesterol, or sodium, it also doesn't have any protein, it does have 6 carbs, but it also has 20% Vitamin C . They taste great and are my new fave summer-end of summer-I'll probably eat in December just because frozen treat
Om nom nom!

As the moderator, I can't be *in* the competition, but I thought I'd be REALLY nice and share my secret recipe for the best-ever tortilla soup. This serves 4 at 277 cal per large serving. DO use low-sodium broth or you will KILL your sodium for the day!
Liberally spray Pam in a medium-large soup pot
1 chicken breast
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 fresh jalepeno peppers (remove the seeds and/or reduce to one pepper if you don't like spicy)
1 tbs lime juice
1 tbs cumin
1 dash of celery seed (or 1/4 chopped celery stick)
3 dashes pepper
Sautee above ingredients in soup pot until chicken is white and cooked through.
Add:
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 can diced tomatoes in juice (or 2.5 cups fresh tomato, diced)
1 sliced yellow summer squash or zucchini
1/2 c. corn (1 cob if fresh)
10 small mushrooms, sliced
1 cup cilantro (less if you want, but it REALLY makes the soup)
Cook to a boil. Simmer another 5 minutes.
Dice one avocado and set aside. Tear up corn tortillas into bite size pieces and put 1 tortilla in each bowl. LAdle soup on top garnish with 1/4 avocado per bowl. For extra naughty yumminess, sprinkle a little bit of cheese on top (about 1/8 cup). BUT this will take you up about 50 calories.
Enjoy!!!0 -

Nope, doesn't have to be a recipe.... maybe we'll have 2 awards, one for best recipe, and one for best tip!
But we can't cook for ourselves ALL the time, so a time-saving, calorie-savvy entry is ALWAYS welcome!0 -

Pork Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker
1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix (A good alternative to this is just chopped onions)
1 cup water
3/4 cup red wine
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons soy sauce
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Place pork tenderloin in a slow cooker with the contents of the soup packet. Pour water, wine, and soy sauce over the top, turning the pork to coat. Carefully spread garlic over the pork, leaving as much on top of the roast during cooking as possible. Be sure to turn the pork halfway through or half will have a different taste than the other. (And the bottom soaking in the juice turns out to taste the best.) Sprinkle with pepper (if wanted), cover, and cook on low setting overnight. Serve with cooking liquid on the side as au jus.

300 calorie meal
2 slices of 45calorie and delicious bread, grilled (like grilled cheese) in a frying pan, with 1tbsp of light butter, in between the bread put 1tbsp fat free mayo, and a piece of fat-free cheese, and 2 slices of ham, put it in the oven for about ten minutes. You still have enough calories to take some apple slices, put them in the same frying pan (add some cisco if needed) and just fry them, putting 3 tsp of Brown sugar if you'd like. You STILL have enough calories to have a small garden salad with any fat free or yogurt made dressing.0 -
Lots of good stuff!0

I just saw this on the Dr. Oz show, but it sounds PERFECT for me, and I am sure others will appreciate.
Graham cracker - two squares
Cool Whip, Fat Free (if you want fat free, regular is fine but it ups the numbers)
You create a cool whip sandwhich and freeze it! That's it all done and only 80 calories!0 -
