    Low-Calorie Chicken & Cabbage Teriyaki

    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…

    Low-Calorie Cinnamon Silk Cake

    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…

    Low-Calorie Double Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Glaze

    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…

    Low-Calorie Sardine Pasta Recipe

    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…

    Low-Calorie Rustic Shrimp Quiche with an Almond Flour Crust

    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…
