Those of you looking to achieve a leaner look can incorporate the following foods in your meal plans. They are low in calories and high in volume, thereby producing a "full feeling". An added benefit is that they tend to be high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Bear in mind that margarine, cheese and salad dressing will negate any calorie saving benefits. Steaming or microwaving are the preferred methods of preparation. Give yourself a chance to adapt to eating these foods without condiments.
Broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, green beans, spinach, zucchini, cucumbers, mushrooms, cabbage, asparagus, tomatoes
Recipe ideas for pasta:
1) reduce amount of pasta in your serving and add in an equal volume(or more) of broccoli , chopped zucchini, mushrooms or cauliflower.
2) used canned crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce
