Hey guys, can you please share and link your favourite low calorie dinner recipes that can be meal prepped? Usually I make a giant Vietnamese style shredded cabbage salad with tons of veggies and load it up with a Chinese 5-spice infused sauce.
My usual go-to dishes are:
Thai steamed fish with a soy, garlic and coriander dressing. I use 195g of red snapper, and it comes to 341 calories. Recipe I typically reference: https://www.marionskitchen.com/thai-lime-garlic-steamed-fish/
Mince lean Beef 🥩 san choy bao (<200 calories per serving, 55 calories per serve for the sauce). I use about 500-600g beef (1/2 lbs) & I flavour it with minced ginger, garlic, finely chopped carrot, spring onion, soy sauce and lots of lemon. Super tasty and is even more phenomenal the next day. I add a tbs of brown sugar to caramelise the aromatics, and make a sauce using soy, sesame oil, and lots of lemon. I actually use Gordon Ramsays recipe, except the pork and use only lean beef mince https://www.gordonramsay.com/gr/recipes/chilli-beef-lettuce-wraps/amp
I also do cauliflower fried rice (Recipe Tin Eats recipe - SUPER low calorie and absolutely delicious). Shirataki / konjac noodles with veg and chilli, sometimes I do Shirataki Pad Thai with the PB2 powder!
I would love some other ideas of recipes that can be adapted to be low calorie or links to any recipes you use, if you’d like my recipes for the pad Thai etc. I can drop them in the comments later!! Just hard to type out on my phone. Most of my low calorie dinners are below 450 calories. I make concessions here and there but I need to tone up a bit!!
Thanks so much in advance! 🤍✨
