    You should try kangaroo meat instead of beef or lamb. Kangaroo mice has about 130 calories in a 125g serving, and almost 90% of the calories are from the protein! I love to have kangaroo mince with tacos (although i dont eat the taco shells, just the salad and mince). But if you substitue your regular red meat for kangaroo you can still have your steak and veg and not worry too much about the calories.

    I bought kangaroo jerky at the outlet last week. Haven't tried it yet though...

    That spaghetti recipe sounds amazing. I wonder wether you could use wholegrain spaghetti instead?

    fish and veggies... that's my go to low cal meal! (usually tilapia or mahi mahi baked with lemon pepper along with spinach or asparagus) You can add a serving of quinoa as well! Filling and tasty!

    Method
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the garlic in a roasting pan. Lay the chicken thighs over the garlic cloves. Top the chicken with the remaining ingredients and season well with salt and pepper. Roast in 400 degree oven, turning occasionally until the chicken is golden and most of the broth/juice has evaporated, leaving only olive oil in the pan. Remove the chicken and garlic cloves from the pan leaving the olive oil behind. Serve the chicken garnished with the whole roasted garlic cloves and additional lemon wedges.



    Notes: The chicken in this dish is succulent and the garlic is soft, mild and delicious.



    Number of Servings: 5-6
