Low Calorie, Low Fat Recipe for BLT Sandwich

One slice of microwaved bacon contains a scant 25 calories. For me, I find that the best method for cooking bacon in the microwave is to place it between two paper towels. The paper towels absorb the excess grease as the bacon cooks and prevents splatters in the microwave.

As a note, some paper towels work better than others - so experiment until you discover one that allows you to effortlessly remove the bacon without it sticking to the paper. Another tip: use white paper towels without the cutesy print so that your bacon doesn't absorb such. Another quick tip: use a clean paper towel to clean the inside of your microwave after cooking bacon.

Low Calorie, Low Fat Recipe for BLT

Basically, this is a typical BLT sandwich with a few minor adjustments. Those few minor adjustments serve to adjust the fat and calorie impact. Opting for tangy Miracle Whip Light saves a plethora of calories and fat. Microwaving rather than pan frying the bacon also saves fat and calories. As to the baby spinach, if you prefer lettuce, feel free to substitute. Tom and I tend to opt for baby spinach as it contains more nutrients and the chances of finding delicious fresh lettuce in our area is rare.

4 slices of microwaved bacon (100 calories)
2 slices of whole grain bread, toasted in the toaster (140 calories)
1 Tablespoon of Miracle Whip Light (20 calories)
1 cup of baby spinach, raw (7 calories)
1 small tomato, thinly sliced (16 calories)

Total calories: 283. What a Diet Deal!

Keywords: low calorie recipe for BLT, low calorie recipe, low fat recipe
