An easy to prepare low-calorie high-protein dinner - does it exist?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are both high in protien, low in fat, and are a very versitile meat. For "fast food", I would recommend trying grilling one (George Foreman grills are great!) and putting it in a sandwich- lettuce, spicy mustard or pickes, very tasty! I usually use a marinade of soy sauce, olive oil, sage, garlic, and some cayenne (plus red wine if you have access, balsamic vinegar if you don't).

Other high protien/low fat meals are red beans and rice, or tofu (again, marinade is a wonderful thing!) stirfry.

I have this awesome book that is for athletic nutrition. you should calculate the amount of protien that your body needs to maintain it's own muscle, and if you work out, maybe slightly more. it should be around 2 kilograms per kilo of bodyweight per day divided between your meals. It should come from either cold water fish like salmon or cod, or mixing beans, grains and vegis throughout the day. meat protiens are complete protiens, and the others are stored in your system until they are joined with their counterparts to form full protiens, so you can be a vegan and still get good protien intake. I like rice and beans, it is simple and you can make it with alot of different spices to create alot of individual dishes. curry is always a good choice. chicken fahitas are great. simple to make.

soy products are improving in the taste department. If you eat cold cereal in the morning, replace milk with rice milk or soy milk. that cuts out alot of fat. rid your life of all sugar. stevia or splenda is a good substitute. I know I am a little off point here, but I think it can help with a diet. If you drink alcohol, skip the beer and carbonation in general. go for the shots. Try to buy organic foods if at all possible, they aren't as stripped of nutrition as regular foods. switch to sea salt from regular salt. this will regulate your hydration. alot of weight loss is water when you are on a diet.

chicken, turkey, salmon, extra virgin olive oil, beans, whole grain rice, sugar free yogurt, tofu , broccoli, nutitional yeast(not the same as yeast in breads, it can replace grated ramano and parmasean cheese) , wheat germ

and take your vitamins.

My favorite soup recipe and it's easy, and tastes GREAT!

Ingredients:

Boneless chicken (chopped up)

Avocado and tomato (how ever much you want in it)

1 onion and 4 jalapeno peppers (Chopped and de-seeded)

Chicken stock

2 limes

cilantro

Directions:

Take a large pot or deep frying pan. Add a tbsp oil. Med-high heat, cook chopped up onion and de-seeded peppers until the onion gets soft and sort of transparent. Add chopped up chicken.

Cook until the pink is gone.

Add chicken broth (how ever much you want to use to make a lot or a little) and bring to a boil. Cut tomatoes, take out seeds, veins and extra juice. Chop up and add to soup.

Lower stove to med-low. When soup has stopped bubbling, add cilantro (pluck the leaves off of the stem if you buy it fresh which I recommend you do) and chopped up avocado. Squeeze the limes and add the juice to the soup (again, add how much you want... I like it really limey).

Turn off the heat and let the soups heat warmth the cilantro, and you're ready to chow!!!

Let me know if you end up trying it and how it turned out!!

Chicken is the breast. I mean Chicken breast is the best! Beans can be a good source, too.

But, why are you on a diet? You are way hot, and don't need to diet, just eat healthy.
