Need healthy recipes! (With measurements)?
Kortney asked:
I’ve been trying to lose a little weight. I eat healthy for breakfast and lunch but I’m having a problem with dinner. My mom always cooks unhealthy which is why I’m not losing weight. I need healthy recipes that are affordable for a high school student because my mom won’t help me buy healthy food and that also taste good. I need recipes that have measurements and that can be cooked for one.

Well I am doing exactly the same so I hope I can be of help! I am going on holiday and I know I don’t have to loose weight but I want to tone up and tighten my stomach!
What you have to do is eat 3 balanced meals, and basic excersise. I’ve been doing a workout dvd that is very popular over here (UK) which helps lots and I have already noticed a difference in my legs and bottom! Not so much on my stomach yet but its because I am rubbish at sit ups!
Have yourself a good breakfast. Its like thee most important meal of the day. Like for example I had an orange and one piece of toast.
For lunch I had a tuna sandwich
and for dinner I had prawns, with noodles and pepper and spring onions with only 2 table spoons of black bean sauce. and LOTS of water. I also did 1 hour of my workout dvd.
I hope I can help.

Buy some whole wheat tortillas (80 calories each), some Ragu pizza sauce (25 calories for a quarter cup), and some light, reduced fat shredded mozzarella. Use these to make a pizza for one (cook it in the oven at 425 for about 8 minutes). It’s delicious, and the entire thing is 200 calories or under, depending on how much cheese you use. You could even have two for dinner and still be excellent on calories. Also, there are lots of tortillas in one bag, and the sauce will make lots of pizzas. The only thing you need to buy regularly is the cheese. Very budget and diet friendly.
You could also buy some fresh boneless, skinless chicken and sautee it in a pan with some Pam spray. Spices have no calories, so you can make it delicious, filling, and diet friendly. Just cook one chicken ****** per meal (or if you buy the strips, you can have about 3). 4 oz of chicken = 200 calories of super healthy food.
Steamfresh packets also rock. They come in single serving packets in the frozen veggie section, and they make delicious veggies in the microwave.
You might buy “Lean Cuisine” frozen entrees, which you could microwave yourself and put on a plate and eat with your family. Be sure and have any veggie your mom makes and a glass of non-fat or 1 or 2% milk with it as those meals are only 250-300 calories and you should be eating at least 500 to 600 calories for your evening meal.
You could have you mom buy non-fat turkey type lunch meat and whole wheat bread and you could have a sandwich with the family. Again have a glass of milk and a vegetable or salad.
I’m not sure what you mean by your mom “not cooking healthy.” It’s certainly okay to have spagetti (just measure out 1 cup of noodes and 1 and 1/2 cups of sauce on your plate/no cheese.) Or baked chicken. Just eat 1 piece. (just pull off the skin.) And baked potato with the chicken. (Have catsup or salsa on it instead of butter.) You can eat pancakes if she fixes them: just eat two with jam instead of syrup. Or you can eat peanutbutter & jelly: just measure 1 Tablespoon of peanutbutter and 2 teaspoons jelly onto whole grain bread or bagel or whatever bread you have.
Really, it’s just eating what you have smarter that matters.
