Thought it might be nice to share pics of our healthy meals - for those who are dieting or just eat healthy anyway!

my lunch today

Pepper Grilled Salmon, with pepper grilled oyster mushrooms and spinach salad and some tomatos. And some hot pepper sauce.

Not including the hot pepper sauce - the meal is 300 calories :slight_smile:

Re: Healhty Food Blog

thos emust be some teey tiny portions :hinna:

Re: Healhty Food Blog

They don't look tiny portions to me.

Re: Healhty Food Blog

I just chose super low calorie ingredients Sara - the portions were pretty ok! It was pretty carb free too hence making it lower in calories.

Like the fish dish was pretty substantial as was the chicken dish which had 150g of chicken breast but all the other ingredients were pretty low in calories - mushrooms, onions, garlic and peppers and spices. The rest of the calories came from the cooking oil (1 teaspoon) and the dollop of creme fraiche even though it was low fat!

Re: Healhty Food Blog

I know…it just seems small to me. but I know my portions are huge… :hinna: gotta work on that!!!

Re: Healhty Food Blog

That’s definitely a good first step to take - taking a look at our portion sizes and trying to reduce them. A good way to put things into perspective is to actually measure in cups the food we put in our plates.

Those muffins look delicious! Mind sharing the recipe, Inspi!

Re: Healhty Food Blog

INGREDIENTS for 24 muffins:

  • 1 red pepper
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • good handful of fresh herbs of your choice - basil,corriander etc - i like corriander
  • 4 spring onions
  • 6 whole eggs + 4 cups of egg whites (large)

Chop all the veges up in one bowl and season with a litttleee salt and pepper. Beat the eggs together in another bowl, add a splash of water and season - I use soy for saltyness and then pepper and paprike - but use whatever you want e.g. chilli poweder or whatever.

In a muffin tin set out cupcake holder things - spoon some egg mixture into them, just a little, then spoon in your veges - then spoon in the rest of the egg mixture to the top.

Pop in the oven at 170 degress C for 30 mins and done.

To make them a little more yummy - sprinkle a little parmasan over each one at 25 mins and turn the heat high to get a yummy topping!

Re: Healhty Food Blog

Re: Healhty Food Blog

Some healthy versus unhealthy options whilst eating out! I ate the healthier stuff - my naturally skinny friends ate the unhealthier stuff :grumpy:

Healthy-er

Not so healthy

Not so healthy

Re: Healhty Food Blog

Oil free chicken karahi - around 300 calories including dollop of yogurt.

because its oil free- its more of like a non salaany dish and I just eat it like that - with a spoon. But with half a roti or whatever it would still be healthy!

Re: Healhty Food Blog

^ Looks great!
How did u make it iwthout oil?

Re: Healhty Food Blog

Thanks Sara :) It tasted alright too! Obvs a juicy oily salaan tastes better but for a diet this is good!

I used a small chicken so it would cook quickly with no skin/fat. I marianted the chicken in shaan masala karahi chicken masala and some ginger/garlic. I then added a little water to the chicken in a pot and cooked it simmered until the chicken was cooked through. I then reduced the water right down until a little was left just to stop it sticking, I added chopped tomoatoes and moti mirch sliced and cooked it on a high heat. When it was all cooked down and I could smell the chilli, I turned the heat off. Added dhania and squeezed lemon juice on it and its done!

Oh i added onions to mine right at the end cos i like the taste of rawish onions. Thats optional of course.

Its tastes good with yoghurt.

The reason I use packet masala is because shaan karahi masala already has that karahi taste in it - so i can cook it without oil in just some water without compromising on flavour.

also check out chef adeel khan I think the name is - he does some oil free desi recipes :)
