Give me your easiest low cal recipes

Easiest? I sometimes eat lettuce that I shred by hand, and 1 slice of deli meat that i shred by hand. Personally, I like it

I put a chicken breast in the George Formen grill. I don't have to do much to it for about 20 minutes when i cut it in half (to make sure the inside is done), turn it over and put bar b que sauce on it and cook for another litle bit...I like mine really done.

I cut up cucumbers, onions and radishes for a salad. Chicken breast and salad ..yummy.

I, also, make a bit skilliet of brown rice with tomatoes and veggies on Sunday, divide into bowls for the week so I don't have to cook it during the week.

Also, if you like crab, its the easiest thing in the world to cook. Slice up some potatoes and throw them in a large pot, then add the crab to boiling water. Wait 20 min, and you are done

I refer to this recipe as ghetto meals on the go!

I love using Ziplock Zip and Steam bags. I just throw in some chicken breast or salmon, and broccoli and/or carrots usually some sort of seasoning like garlic and throw them in the microwave for a few minutes. Super healthy, yummy, and easy!

I love the Birds Eye Voila frozen meals in a bag. It's sooo easy and most are only about 200 calories for 1 cup (cooked). I usually eat 1-1/2 cups (300 cals.) I work 10 hour days and am tired when I get home. These have protein, pasta or potato, and veggies all in a bag. Voila!

This is probably one of my favorite (and easiest) meals when I've got to make something quick: Spicy tilapia fillet served on a bed of rice and a side of steamed veggies.

-Ocean Jewel 4oz frozen tilapia fillet (I get mine from Food Lion)

Make sure it's thawed before you try cooking.

Drizzle a bit of olive oil on a pan, coat the fillet with flour then throw it on the stove. For seasoning, use lemon pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if you like your fish spicy

Let it cook for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on whether you like it a bit blackened or not. It'll start to smell smokey which is normal, just means the fillet's getting a nice crispy coat.


In another pot boil some water and make 1/2 cup of instant white rice (adding chicken stock will give it a bit more flavor)

Steam 2 cups broccoli/any other kind of vegetable on stovetop

The result is a 15-20 minute dinner that's healthy, filling, inexpensive, and delicious
