A low fat sauce for pasta or veggies?

I have been boiling my whole wheat pasta in Instant Chicken Bouillon (gives it a little flavor). Then I sprinkle on the following: low fat grated parmesean cheese, cracked red pepper (or Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning blend), juice from a lemon wedge (or you can leave this one out for variety), couple of sprays of I can't believe it's not butter and a small handful of diced grilled chicken. It's a very yummy combination and very filling too...

Tomato/marinara sauce is easy to make and low in calories. Pesto is a little higher in calories due to the olive oil (and optional cheese/pine nuts), but it is so flavorful that you only need to use a little bit. Also, you might try adding in some more flavorful veggies, like mushrooms, red peppers, onions and garlic.

I don't think that I could force myself to eat plain olive oil knowing the fat content. It has been so long since I have used any kind of grease that wasn't in a spray can. LOL

I bought a pump at williams sonoma for 15 dollars. you put in 4 oz of OVOO and pump it. I have had the same bottle for a month. I pump it and spray my pan, cook garlic and onions till soft, throw in my presteamed veggies and toss. Then i put this over my ww pasta and sprtz with the OVOO again. It cant be more than a tspn of OVOO.

My dr told me we need good fats to keep our bad cholesteral down. Also NO perservatives or cfs in the bottle-and the added benefit of cardio while you pump it up LOL

I have been eating A LOT of steamed broccolli, cauliflour, and whole wheat pasta. But everytime that I eat it I spray Parkay butter spray (just like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray). I have been going through a bottle a week and I am kind of getting tired of it. Fat-free cheese tastes bad and I can't think of anything else to top it with. Any suggestions?

Oh, and Amber, it looks like you're pasting your ticker code directly into your posts each time--is that correct? If so, you don't have to do that. YOu can add it to your signature line, and it will be added in automatically each time. Here's how to do it from the FAQs--

Q. How do I add a ticker to my forum signature?

A. Here's a quick explanation of how to add a weight loss ticker to your forum signature:

1. First, click on the "Tools" tab, then click on "Tickers" in the light blue bar below the tabs to reach the section of the site where you can create your ticker.

2. Follow the steps to create your ticker. They should (hopefully) be self-explanatory.

3. When your ticker has been completed, you'll be shown two boxes with code in them to display your ticker. Click on the box on the left (BBCode) - this is the code you need to use on the MyFitnessPal message boards. Highlight all of the code in that box (most browsers will do this automatically once you click on the box). If the code is not all highlighted, you can right-click on the box and choose "Select All"

4. Once you have highlighted all of the code, right click on the code and choose "Copy."

5. Now click on the "My Home" tab, then click "Settings" in the light blue bar below the tabs, and finally, click on the "Change forum signature" link.

6. Right-click in the box where you can type your forum signature and choose "Paste."

7. Finally, click "Save Changes."

Once you've saved your new forum signature, every post you've ever made should now display your ticker at the bottom of it. You don't need to create a new post to test your ticker - just look at any previous post, and the ticker will be displayed there if you've followed the steps properly.
