Molten brownie made in a coffee mug.
Sometimes you just need a treat, but oh so evil... (571 cal)

I made up this mug cake today when I wanted to try making something chocolately for dessert out of bisquick. The result was a light and fluffy chocolate cake without the density of other mug cakes, and as a bonus it can be made in a normal sized mug. It's also very yummy when topped with fresh berries, chocolate sauce, caramel, or ice cream and chocolate chips can be added to the batter if you don't want to eat it plain.

This is the same recipe as the one submitted by 27SANDRA, but the ingredients have all been calculated correctly. I did not include the bun in this because the calories in buns vary greatly. This recipe really tastes great, but It doesn't hold together in patties very well. I would recommend pan-frying instead of grilling.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie with very similar nutritional information to the cookie suggested in the meal plan.

Low calorie & low fat but still filling makes this a wonderful addition to any fitness plan.

Low in fat

I used to LOVE ice cream floats when i was little, and this one is awesome, but without most of the sugar and all of the fat!

A filling breakfast or post-workout recovery drink, this protein-packed smoothie tastes just like strawberry cheesecake! You can also substitute any other fruit for the strawberries, or add half the strawberries and half a different kind of fruit. (We love the classic strawberry banana combo!)

Cool and Sweet. Perfect for a summertime snack or a breakfast on the go.

This is the same recipe seen elsewhere on this site (see Moist Pumpkin Cake). The only difference here is that this is 18 servings instead of 12, to make adding this to your food tracker easier if that's the serving amount you choose.

Plan ahead, marinate

I love this dish, a litle sweet, a little sour and just tastes of summer! Could easily be served as lunch, entree or main course. I first tried it years ago, from a low fat cookbook by Garth Hokianga and always remembered it.
