f the words “low-calorie meals” makes you think of sauceless chicken breast with bland vegetables and brown rice, we totally hear you. Low-calorie eating has become all too synonymous with boring, fat-free, or underseasoned—aka, joyless. Luckily, there are a million and a half ways to eat well (and stay satiated) while also keeping an eye on the calorie count.
"Load up on colorful veggies and other fiber-rich ingredients like whole grains to help keep you full and provide a rainbow of nutrients," says Good Housekeeping Nutrition Lab Director Stefani Sassos M.S., R.D.N., C.D.N., NASM-CPT. "Lean proteins are also important to make the meal satiating. A little healthy fat, like avocado or olive oil, can go a long way to help keep you full too."
In keeping with those guidelines, this list features recipes like Roasted Shrimp Scampi and Seared Salmon with Charred Green Beans, which pump up the protein while leaning heavily on fresh veg and bold flavors. Dishes like Zucchini Linguine include spiralized zucchini alongside—not instead of—pasta, so you can indulge in your favorite carb while keeping the calorie count under 500.
So go ahead: Take a look through, choose your favorites, and relax knowing we’ve done all the math for you already.
