Low calorie meals

Do you cook? You also aren't getting enough vitamins that way.

If you like carrots, you might like this:

- 3 large carrots
- A bit less than 1/2 cup of split red lentils
- 4 cups of chicken or veggie broth
- 1 Onion
- Assorted herbs and spices (I used dashes of salt, pepper, coriander, sage, parsley, and a bay leaf)
- A dab of olive oil

Dice the carrots and onion. In a pot, pour the olive oil. Saute the onion and carrots for a while. Pour in broth, herbs, and lentils. Bring to boil. Remove bay leaf, and blend with immersion blender. Enjoy. Tastes very delicious the next day as well.

If you want to stick with pasta, try replacing noodles with spaghetti squash. I used this recipe and it was tasty: http://low-cholesterol.food.com/recipe/properly-prepared-spaghetti-squash-162765

Try to get more veggies in. Carrots, celery, snow peas, and cucumber dipped in hummus is a good one. I'm also a huge fan of giant piles of steamed broccoli topped with a bit of soyaki and general tso's sauce. Salad is super delicious. Last week I ate SO MUCH salad that consisted of mostly spinach, an egg white, a couple crumbled candied walnuts, a tablespoon or two of feta, a teaspoon or so of parm, a tablespoon or so of dried cranberries, small handful of sugar snap peas, and either balsamic vinaigrette dressing, or papaya poppyseed dressing. Super tasty.
