The following foods and methods of preparation are likely your best choices to help you stay within your healthy eating plan.
* Clear broth-based soups like Chinese won ton or hot and sour soup, consumee, tortilla soup, or minestrone.
* Lettuce or spinach salads with vegetables and dressing on the side. Go easy on the bacon bits, croutons, cheese, and mayonnaise-based items like macaroni salad or tuna salad (1/4 cup tuna salad = 190 calories).
* Raw vegetables (crudités) with a small amount of low-calorie dip.
* Steamed vegetables with a slice of lemon; grilled veggies if not drenched in oil.
* Meats that are grilled, broiled, roasted or baked without added fat. Choose seafood that is broiled, baked, steamed, blackened, or poached—think tender sole poached in parchment with broth, savory vegetables and herbs.
* A reasonable portion of steak–3-6 oz.; other lean meat cuts served au jus, with a piquant fruit sauce, or stir-fried with vegetables. Again, go easy on the rich sauces.
* A baked potato with a pat of butter or small amount of sour cream. Top with broccoli, low-fat chili, or salsa.
* Sandwiches on whole wheat, pita, multigrain breads; with low-fat deli meats and cheeses; mustard, relish, ketchup, or low-fat mayonnaise. Add flavor and vitamins with roasted sweet peppers, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos, and chopped olives (small amount).
* Fresh fruit, sherbet, and angel food cake are good choices for dessert.
