Your favorite healthy food/meal

bump, I am looking for suggestions, my diary is open if you would like to look as well. I shoot for 150 grams of carbs and do okay, i am almost always under protein

Being a single mom on a tight budget I can't usually afford to stock up on and keep fresh veggies when I want a variety. I love the frozen steamer veggies(i won't ever do canned), my favorite being Picksweet Spring Blend. It has carrots, asparagus, yellow squash, onions, zucchini and red peppers. I put it with a piece of bakedc or grilled meat for a dinner. 30 calories for 3/4 a cup.

try boca burgers! they have many different kinds, the vegan boca burgers are 80 cals and 10g of protien! the others are all under 160cals and have 8-15g of protien. they dont take to long to cook and arent that bad. i also like the lite n fit dannon yogurt. if you like jerky, try health stores for a variety of them. some of the flavored ones taste really good and come in soy, turkey, etc in a variety of flavors.
for meals, stir frys are great! lots of veggies and then chicken or tofu. What i do is cook the mushrooms first. when they are cooked in the pan they release a ton of water and then i dont have to add oil! just a light coating of pam before i put in the mushrooms. If you add lite sodium soy sauce and use spices there is no need for oil

My go-to meal is a curry. I have this amazing curry powder that goes with everything.
I always include onions, garlic, chilli and ginger, but the rest is whatever I feel like. I usually throw in a whole bunch of veggies (whatever I need to eat before it goes off) and often some lentils or chickpeas to bulk it out, though not always. Meat if I feel like it, maybe some tinned tomatoes or tomato puree and coconut milk if I want it saucy. A squirt of lemon juice, some coriander maybe. Peanuts or cashews.
I rarely accompany it with rice, but I do if I have company.
Its great. Completely from scratch, no recipe to follow, absolutely foolproof and tastes different (and delicious) every time.
Plus there is ALWAYS leftovers.


My friend also introduced me to a greek-inspired dish her mum taught her, which is basically sliced onions, boiled potatoes, turkey, green olives and lemon juice shoved in a casserole dish, baked, then some feta cheese crumbled over and put back in the oven until brown. I no longer eat potatoes, so i tried it the other day swapping potatoes for slices of green pepper and tomato, and it was DELICIOUS!!!

Fish.....Lemon Butter Tilapia Baked with 80 Cal Mashed potatoes and Veggies! Yum Yum

I made me a wrap last night that consisted of the following:

1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
2 Cups of Fresh veges (lettuce, purple cabbage, cucumbers, green bell peppers)
1 cup of boiled beetroot cubed
2 slices of Turkey Ham
1 slice of cheddar cheese
Mustard

I assembled my wrap and placed into the Toaster Oven for a couple minutes.... got the wrap slightly crispy and melted the cheese in there.

Yummy!!

Of course, you can substitute any of the ingredients to incorporate things you like!

Enjoy!
