Maintaining a healthy weight or trying to lose a few pounds ultimately revolves around the science of counting calories. ItÍs a tedious task to tabulate every morsel you put in your mouth, but thereÍs a simpler and much more flexible strategy: Start a file of skinny recipes. We think our 300-calorie main dishes are the perfect indulgence for the conscientious, gourmand weight watcher. Taste always comes first in our 195 top-rated recipes and tips included in our 300-Calorie Main Dishes bookazine. Whether you need fresh breakfast ideas, satisfying lunches, or easy family dinners, weÍve got a delicious meal in mind. For breakfast, we can suggest making a Spanish potato and spinach tortilla with Red Pepper Sauce. Lunch could be shrimp tacos with green apple salsa, followed by a dinner of pork medallions with whisky-Cumberland sauce and haricots verts. Sometimes, one lower-calorie meal a day is all you need to get back on track; let us help you in the most delectable way.
How often do you find yourself wishing there were more hours in the day? With Cooking Light 20-Minute Meals you can set the table with a healthy, filling dinner in less time than it would take to pick up fast food!
