Low Calorie Recipes and Foods
With all of the information being spread across the Internet and airwaves, through print, audio, and video with conflicting data related to what is the best kind of diet, low calorie diets have just about been left of the list, even though, in all actuality low calorie recipes and low calorie foods are very important to anyone trying foods.
Whether your preferences are leaning toward the low carbohydrate diets or the low fat diets, the Atkins diet or the Hollywood diet, there is one thing that must be understood.

You can’t eat just as much as you want to, with no thought of calories, and still lose weight – unused calories turn into fat. Regardless of how the calories are taken in, if they aren’t used as energy, they will be turned into fat and stored on the body.
So, whether you want your low calorie recipe to be low in carbs and high in protein, or low in fat and high in carbs, you still need to pay attention to the number of calories you take in, and expend, in a day’s time.
As most of you probably already know, it takes 3500 calories (parts of energy) to make a pound of either muscle or fat. It is also well known that muscular people have a higher metabolism (rate of burning calories – energy) than do people without a lot of muscle.
But even then, if you take in more calories than you are burning you are going to gain weight. Weight loss occurs when you take in fewer calories than your body needs to burn in a day’s time, on a daily basis, consistently, over time.

Super Smoothie
The low carb / low fat smoothie is one of my favorites. Put
- a scoop or two of fat-free, sugar-free ice cream (1/2 cup)
- a cup of ice cubes
- a quarter cup of your favorite berries
- with a quarter cup of fat free milk
in the blender. Whir…Whir…Whir and voila! You have a pretty, delicious, sweet-craving satisfier with about 140 calories.
Super Sub Substitute
For those of you who are missing your sandwiches, here is a great alternative.
- Pick one of your favorite low-carb veggies, something like eggplant or zucchini.
- Cut two nice slices about a quarter inch thick.
- Or, you could use two leaves of romaine.
- Layer your sandwich fixings on one piece and add the top.
It’s not bread, but it gives the feeling of sitting down to a nice sub, and meets both the low calorie and low carb requirements.
