Amazing Low Calorie Dinners

It’s easy to grab takeout when you’re busy, but these recipes for low calorie dinners are as quick as fast food. With a little ingenuity, you can have a healthy dinner on the table in no time! These amazing recipes are quick, delicious, and low calorie – posing a challenge to the practice of getting fast foods as a convenient alternative.

Shrimp Po' Boy

Tip: Enlist your pet's help to get you to exercise. If you have a pet, you have a very useful tool.

When people think of shrimp po’ boy they automatically imagine rich, high-calorie sandwiches that are strictly forbidden for people on a low calorie diet. This low calorie dinner takes a traditional high calorie delicacy and transforms it into a low calorie treat. Moist grilled shrimp and creamy-dressed are piled onto a crusty bun in this exotic Louisiana offering. This goes well with corn.

Ingredients:

Tip: Try to get rid of one pound every seven days. Make sure that this is done in moderation, to give you the chance to succeed and to stay healthy.

2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
1 pound peeled and deveined raw shrimp
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 whole-wheat hot dog buns, or small sub rolls, split
4 tomato slices, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Procedure:

Tip: Sugar is one item to drop from your diet when losing weight. You can stop eating sugary foods without losing foods that are nutritious and filling.

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Combine cabbage, relish, mayonnaise, and yogurt in a medium bowl.
3. Toss shrimp with 2 teaspoons oil, chili powder, paprika, and pepper in a medium bowl. Place the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a small bowl. Dip a pastry brush in water, then in the oil and lightly brush the inside of each bun (or roll).
4. Place a grill basket (see Kitchen Tip) on the grill. Add the shrimp and spread in a single layer. Grill, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Open the buns and grill, turning once, until toasted on both sides, about 1 minute total.
5. To assemble the sandwiches, divide tomato and onion among the buns. Spread about 1/3 cup cabbage mixture down the middle of each and top with about 1/2 cup grilled shrimp.

Turkey & Tomato Panini

Tip: Avocados are a wonderful weight loss food. Although avocados may be high in fat, the fat they contain is unsaturated, which is actually good for you.

This is one of those low calorie dinners that would be welcome in any gathering – regardless of whether it is a party for dieters or not. Here you have a creamy spread full of Parmesan and fresh basil, turkey and summer-ripe tomato slices for a savory hot sandwich. It is good for a brunch with company but is also a totally amazing stay home lunch that allows you to enjoy a good meal without breaking your calorie limit.

Ingredients:

Tip: Select a friend that will stay dedicated to exercising with you. This can help make your exercise feel more like socialization than hard work.

3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 slices whole-wheat bread
8 ounces thinly sliced reduced-sodium deli turkey
8 tomato slices
2 teaspoons canola oil

Procedure:

1. Have four 15-ounce cans and a medium skillet (not nonstick) ready by the stove.
2. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, Parmesan, basil, lemon juice, and pepper in a small bowl. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the mixture on each slice of bread. Divide turkey and tomato slices among 4 slices of bread; top with the remaining bread.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 Paninis in the pan. Place the medium skillet on top of the Panini, and then weigh it down with the cans. Cook the Panini until golden on one side, about 2 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, flip the Panini, replace the top skillet and cans, and cook until the second side is golden, 1 to 3 minutes more.
5. Repeat with another 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining panini.
