As you know, I eat several small meals every day. And for late lunch I’ve recently been making wraps on lavash bread. Tasty, high-fiber, and low-calorie – lavash is soft and perfect for wraps. I try to eat fish a lot since it is so good for you, and if I had my way I’d have a tuna wrap every…

Protein ice cream made with frozen bananas is amazing. It’s not only incredibly delicious but also surprisingly healthy. I mean, who would’ve thought that a frozen treat could be good for you? Blended frozen bananas give it a creamy texture without the need for any heavy cream or added sugar. Plus, they’re loaded with potassium and dietary fiber, so you’re…

This is such an easy dish to prepare, but it tastes like I spent way more time on it. And at just 198 calories it supports my plan to eat frequent low-calorie meals. I’ve been having it around lunch time for days now, and if you eat larger meals than I do, it is super easy to increase the servings…

Are you craving something sweet and cinnamony? I’ve got the perfect high-fiber cake for you. Each thick slice comes in at just 49 calories, and the cinnamon flavor really shines through. You can even top it with a simple mix of 2 tablespoons Swerve confectioners plus a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of water to make a lovely…

I think this is the best low-calorie dessert I have ever made! It’s chocolate cake with chocolate chips and a creamy glaze. Sooo good! The melty chocolate chips make it taste similar to a chocolate lava cake. And it’s surprisingly filling too due to the high fiber content, so you won’t end up craving more. I’m going to call this…

I try really hard to cook seafood or shellfish at least twice a week for the health benefits (and because I love it!), but sometimes it’s hard coming up with something that will please even people who don’t love fish. Enter Sardine Pasta. I had been reading about how good for you sardines are, and it seemed like an excellent…

With Winter approaching I’ve been craving heavier fare, and this quiche is a complete, filling, healthy meal that won’t blow up your calorie budget. If you have leftover slices, run them through a vacuum sealer before putting them in the freezer. They won’t get freezer-burn and they’ll stay fresh for ages. Imagine how wonderful it would be to have quiche…

Broccoli is such a basic, simple vegetable, but here’s a recipe that elevates it to a crispy, crunchy marvel! The flavors deepen and I think that even folks who don’t like broccoli may enjoy this side. The crisped parmesan crunches and combines with the balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make this a standout recipe. It does have a few…

As much as I love my traditional Low-Calorie Egg Salad recipe, I’ve been craving a change. Since I also love avos, this recipe felt like a natural extension. Eaten on its own or with some toasted keto bread or a Wasa cracker, it is delicious and filling. Everything I need my lunches to be! The creamy ripe avocado gives a…

Are you ready for a great Chicken Teriyaki? I’ve got one based on a recipe from Kristen Boehmer that’s worth pulling out the Instant Pot for. (Don’t have one? Here’s why I think they’re important for weight loss and maintenance.) And check out the sauce! Bubbly, sticky, and slightly sweet. It’s mesmerizing! Served over rice, this dish is simple and…

I’ve been using Plan to Eat since 2014 (!) It’s no understatement to say that without it I would have no idea what to make for dinner every night, and not having a plan for dinner leads me to hungrily cave and order delivery. So, what is it? 1. It’s a Recipe File I store all my recipes in it…

Ages ago I found a wonderful shrimp recipe at Best Keto Recipes. They say it takes 20 minutes, but somehow for me it only takes 10. Either way, this is a fantastically easy and delicious weeknight dinner. I use flash-frozen shrimp that I get at the market which I thaw overnight in the refrigerator. It takes just minutes to get…

Every Friday I make pizza for the kids. They love it, and it’s one night I don’t have to prepare dinner. Win win. I used to order delivery, but that got to be really pricey, and frozen pizzas have come a long way since we were kids. The ones by Paul Newman are actually pretty tasty. Unfortunately, pizza, frozen or…

Nick’s Swedish Style Ice Cream Swirl Bars are only 50 calories each and are surprisingly delicious, filling, and satisfying. They really taste as if they’re made with full-fat cream and sugar. The Strawbär flavor is just OK. It doesn’t have a decadent flavor like the other two, but at least it does taste like strawberries. The second best flavor is…

I had a big dinner last week (a low-calorie cheeseburger!) and didn’t want a really filling dessert. This little low-calorie berry and spongecake recipe is sweet and delicious, but won’t put you over the edge if you’re already almost full. If you just want a little something sweet after dinner, this dessert is for you. I love this dessert for…
