a great site for recipes is this http://www.skinnytaste.com/.

hi a few recipes for u. I follow low carb too works for me :smile: This is a piri piri sauce I make and marinate fish/chicken and pork loin steaks in. I use 2 whole chillis or 3 for extra heat. It makes a lot and can be stored in the fridge for a few days.…

Or other low cal soups tinned is fine. I also use this and other recipes from skinny…

According to some members it seems exercise calories can be a bit off so I would advise not to eat all your exercise calories. I eat some of mine but not all. That way u have a bit of a safety net too for those days when u just go a bit over. ( Hey I am not perfect lol). Good luck ! :)

good luck :)

I use this a lot from skinny taste as a side instead of rice. It's tasty filling healthy and low calorie. I omit the avocado cos I not a fan so it becomes even lighter in the calorie count too. I also use tinned black eye beans instead of the black beans. I also use canned sweetcorn. Finally zero cooking involved just a…

i like tuna mixed with a tbsp of low fat mayo and a tsp of english mustard then served with thinly sliced cucumber and a little bit of this delicious salad from skinny taste. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/06/southwestern-black-bean-salad.html I just omit the avocado (don't like it and its less calories) and use black…
