Lovely snack or side for a salad, quick to whip up, and store well in the fridge for a few days.
Guinness gives this stew a really rich indulgent flavour. It's perfect served with roast potatoes and parsnip, mashed swede, brussels sprouts, and my olive oil dumplings.
Gorgeously messy folded pizzas, full of goodness.
Use low-fat cheese for an even healthier lunch or dinner!
Delicious beef, pasta sheets, rich creamy sauce... A great traditional lasagne will always be a bit of an indulgence, but I've reduced the calories in mine by using lean beef, using double-concentrated tomato puree and a beef stock cube for a rich flavour, and using sauce flour for a butter-free white sauce. The portions are generous ; )
I love a cheesy sauce on top of my lasagne, but if you wanted to skip the cheese you could knock a further 80 calories off each portion.
A really delicious, filling, high protein lunch, much better than ordinary baked beans!
(You could cut the calories even lower of course by using low-fat cheese.)
Not getting your vegetables? You can't fail with this tasty super-low-fat recipe!
Delicious and easy supper. Low sodium, high fibre, vitamins, good fats, and just 400 calories!
You'll never believe these brownies have less than a gram of fat each! Don't eat them all at once - they taste EVEN BETTER after a few days!
If you don't have applesauce, peel and core an apple, cut into chunks, and stew in a little water on a medium heat (with a tiny dash of nutmeg and cinnamon if you like) until soft. Then puree with an electric whisk or blender.
These falafels in pitta with salad and houmous are full of goodness and really tasty!
This recipe makes six falafels - you will probably want two or three for a filling meal.
Anyone can stir fry! This quick fuss-free recipe uses less ingredients than other versions, and still has incredible flavour! It's easy, healthy and delicious, with 46g protein, lots of fibre, a good dose of healthy fats, and heaps of potassium, vitamin C and vitamin A.
Easy and delicious one-pot dish. Super-high in fibre and vitamins!
The sodium is a little high - feel free to use a low-sodium stock and/or make your own curry paste if you prefer - this will bring it down considerably.
A great traditional addition to stews and casseroles. Great with my "Awesome Beef Stew"!
Also delicious with a big pinch of thyme added (or other herb as appropriate for your stew).
Wrap this chicken in tortillas with whatever extra fillings you enjoy. Delicious! (And much better than that fajita seasoning you buy in packets!)
Try my recipe for Refried Beans with this too!
Great for all the family. High in protein and full of vegetables too!
Also great to reheat the next day!
Most of the fat comes from the cheese so pick a low-fat variety if you prefer.
Easy and so delicious.
Serve with a green vegetable such as broccoli or beans.
I serve this as a side dish with my Lovely Chicken Tikka Masala and rice or naan, but it's got enough goodness in it to double up the servings and make it the main part of the meal if you prefer.
An easy and delicious recipe for all the family. Surprisingly healthy with 7g fibre and 31g protein per serving and plenty of vegetable goodness hidden in that creamy sauce and crispy topping!
Traditional pizza will never be diet food, but here's me giving it a good go!
You could reduce the calories even more by putting some of the dough aside and rolling it even thinner, or by finding a good low-fat cheese (I haven't yet) or using less cheese.
I love this recipe because it's so quick and easy to make, only takes one pan, it's filling, and it packs plenty of protein from the tuna and vegetabley goodness from the beans.
This isn't a risotto in the true sense of the word - it's much easier! And delicious too!
(This is not in the calculations, but I recommend some extra toppings for this dish if your diet can take it - sprinkle around 15g toasted sunflower seeds and around 25g grated cheddar cheese on each portion for an additional 190 extremely delicious calories!)
Super high-protein, super low-fat, super low-calorie, super healthy!
Flavoursome lemon and garlic chicken on couscous with chickpeas and red peppers, served on a bed of greens. This is a low-fat lunch or light dinner to die for served in the garden in the sun after a good workout!
This is really delicious - aromatic and filling and so easy. Feel free to add more spice to taste.
This is an old favourite - my signature dish as far as my family is concerned! The flavours are really good and the calories low considering how luxurious this tastes!
Serve with pasta or bread to mop up the juices (not calculated).
Not a dieters food at all, in fact it's utterly sinful, but I made it, I ate it and I need to track it, and you just might like to treat yourself some day...
Caution, this cake contains raw eggs, which are not recommended for some people (pregnant women etc.)
Not great on the nutrition this one, I admit, but it's one of my go-to recipes when I'm pushed for time or fresh ingredients.
If you DO have fresh ingredients, this is great with green veg like green beans or brocolli, or a green salad.
This dish is full of great flavours and so easy. It looks - and tastes - really summery, and I love it as a light al fresco lunch or dinner.
Serve this with my fajita chicken, some chopped tomatoes and avocado (or salsa and guacamole) and some corn tortillas.
Sunflower seeds can really help boost your energy levels. This tasty 'cheese' is great as a dip, an alternative to cream cheese or mayo, or served on a lettuce leaf or cucumber slices.
