Weight Loss, Hello Sweet Pea

Add a little pea to your diet and you and your weight loss plan will be feeling like two peas in a pod! Peas are punched with fiber, folate and vitamin C. Just how many calories are contained in your favorite pea? Let's see!

Type of Pea	Calories - Per 1/2 cup, cooked	Carb Grams, Per 1/2 cup, cooked
Sweet Peas	35	5.5
Cowpeas	100	18
Chick Peas	140	27
Green Peas	65	12.5
Split Peas	115	21

Peas also make a spiffy, healthy additive to side dishes. Toss a few fresh peas into a salad. Pop some frozen peas into homemade chicken soup. Add a few peas to your next skinny stirfry.

Low Fat Recipe for Homemade Chicken n Dumplings

Peas compliment homemade chicken and dumplings very well. For a diet friendly version of chicken and dumplings, boil 6 chicken legs until done. Remove and bone. Skim any visible fat from kettle. Add 3-4 chicken bullion cubes to broth.

Take one can of regular biscuits (those that contain 110 calories or less per biscuit) and roll out using just a bit of flour. Cut into strips and carefully add to boiling broth. Use a non stick kettle OR cook in your microwave as dumplings like to stick to the bottom of certain pots.

Cook until dumplings are done, then add boned chicken and 1/2 cup of skimmed milk. Salt and pepper to suit your personal taste. Makes 10 servings for about 150 calories each.

Be sure to serve with your wonderfully healthy peas.
