Making changes to my favorite foods seriously helped a ton. I never feel deprived and I have tweaked all kinds of things. If you have time I highly suggest HungryGirl.com. I get so many ideas from her site.
Pumpkin pie:
PER SERVING (1/8th of recipe, 1 slice): 144 calories, 0.5g fat, 110mg sodium, 30g carbs, 2g fiber, 26g sugars, 5g protein -- PointsPlus® value 4*
Prep: |
Cook: |
Chill: 2 hours or more |
- One 15-oz. can pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling; the kind by Libby's is best)
- One 12-oz. can evaporated fat-free milk
- 1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar (or HG Alternative!)
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 2 sheets (8 crackers) low-fat cinnamon graham crackers, finely crushed
- Optional: Fat Free Reddi-wip, cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a deep-dish pie pan with nonstick spray. In a bowl, combine all ingredients except graham crackers and optional ingredients. Whisk thoroughly. Transfer to the pie pan.
Bake in the oven until partially firm, about 45 minutes. (It will firm up completely once chilled.)
Refrigerate until completely chilled and firm, at least 2 hours (the longer, the better).
Top evenly with crushed graham crackers. Serve and, if you like, top with Reddi-wip and cinnamon!
I love, love, love pumpkin anything so I have been living off of a pumpkin quinoa for breakfast since my surgery....a high dose of fiber along with protien...I will have to get that out of the cabinet when I get up again :)

Sounds like a step in the right direction by health-ifying your favourite foods/recipes. I read on one of the Ontario OH forum that someone found a high-protein bread at Metro...may be worth trying for your tuna melt.
I love egg sandwiches...salad, fried (non-stick pan w/Pam), or scrambled but instead of toast I have it on half of a Haddad high-protein pita...it's 50 calories for the pita with 5g of protein. And I sprinkle 1/8 cup low fat tex-mex cheese and a couple tablespoons of salsa (or ketchup in a pinch).
I'll also make tuna or chicken salad for my pitas...lots of chopped celery for crunch and I use calorie-wise Miracle Whip. Very tasty and satisfying. I have that for lunch at work or my latest "addiction" of sweet potato/butternut squash/carrot soup with ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Or I'll switch it up with ginger, curry and cumin. Num num!

It just means I was the 35th person to like the page and Deb was 37 :)
I do not have a facebook account. What's the story with these people posting numbers?
