No sugar/ low fat?!
Answers: alright everyone i have been on a no sugar and low fat diet for about 4 months and it is working well for me. i am just running out of things to eat. what is your favorite food that contains 1g of sugar or less and is low in fat. i will give best answer to the best tasting food!!!
grilled chicken marinated in Kraft roasted red pepper italian with parmesan dressing. It only has 2g. of fat per 2 Tbsp and since your only marinading it, it is a very tasty but also healthy food.
hummus ..?
cereal- rice crispies,cheerios, corn flakes, etc; not sure about sugar content, pretty low though
kiwi(yummy) and other fruits and veggies. natural sugar ok?
couscous
I don't know if you use the South Beach cookbook's at all but here are my 3 favs. Also, I don't use reduced or low fat mayo because the use sugar to make it taste better(hahaha) I use Hellman's Canola oil mayo.
Vegetable quiche cups to go
1-10 oz pack of frozen spinach (I use chopped broccoli too)
3/4 c. liquid egg substitue (egg beater southwest is good)
3/4 c. shredded reduced fat cheese
1/4 c. diced bell pepper (or not)
1/4 cup diced onion
3 drops of tabasco (or not)
microwave the spinach for 2 1/2 mins on high, to thaw. Drain excess liquid. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with FOIL baking cups, not paper (they stick), and spray with cooking spray. Combine the egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onion and spinach in a bowl. Mix well. Divide evenly among the muffin cups. Bake 350 for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. These can be frozen and heated in a microwave for a quick breakfast. Any combo of cheese of vegis can be used...as long as you like them lol
