I Smell Fish! Copyrighted by Diet Bites Do you find a trail of cats following you down the streets these days? On a diet again, eh? Tuna, tuna, and more tuna, right? If your diet is sounding sounds a little bit fishy perhaps it's time to open up a new can of worms.... Fish is one of the foods lowest in calories and fat - a dieter's dream. Well, almost. If you'd like to hear the downside of Toxic Tuna, click here. But for now, we'll focus on our fishy diet. Actually, fish has a lot in common with eggs. They are both proteins, but their relationship is actually much cozier. Dieters seem to love to fill their diets with fish and eggs. And although these goodies are fine in moderation, the day-in/day-out fish & egg menu gets old. In fact, it's actually where the words, 'Sorry, Charlie' originated.... Meg had been feasting on a fish diet for two weeks straight and when she opened up a can of light tuna for lunch, she found that she just couldn't do another can, so she eased out, "Sorry, Charlie," which happened to be overheard by a smart tuna marketing person. Tender little story, isn't it? One of the reasons that dieters choose fish and eggs is because they feel comfortable with them - in that they know they are low in calories and make a pretty awesome diet choice. One can dine on a very large slab of grilled fish compared to a tiny round of steak. Or one can dine on FOUR boiled eggs compared to one candy bar. So by far, fish and eggs make a couple of the most popular protein choices for people when dieting. But since these goodies must be used in moderation to avoid future health problems, let's investigate a few other protein alternatives when dieting - some of which need to also be used in moderation. Remember: a good diet is one filled with variety!
On that note, is it just me or do people flat out pass gas in the stores these days? It seems that every time that I go to the market lately, I innocently walk into a wall of butt-belched flames. And I usually hear a grocery basket rapidly racing down the isle, then see it turning the corner while I am left in the silent, but deadly, stench. Oh well - back to the Beanery....
Another great thing about beans is that you can steam them as suggested above, or boil them, bake them, stirfry them, crockpot them and so forth. Peanut butter - Though high in fat and calories, peanut butter will definitely stick to your ribs. A serving generally contains about 190 calories and is about the size of a golf ball. Try mixing about 150 calories-worth with a few packs of Equal or Splenda, then spreading it on fresh bread (70 calories each slice). Place one-half of a sliced banana inside your sandwich with a couple of Tablespoons of whipped topping - the 15 calories for 2 Tablespoons variety. You'll have a sandwich that contains about 350 calories but it will carry you through the afternoon without the hungries. Or, enjoy it for breakfast! Cheese - We all know that cheese has more fat than protein AND is in the Dairy Family AND it's considered taboo for anyone dieting - but not at Diet Bites! One ounce of most cheeses contain about 100 calories and 8 grams of fat. Your best diet choice for REAL cheese is skimmed Mozzarella - bold taste, smaller calories/fat - about 70 calories per ounce. Try enjoying a plate of fresh fruit with a couple of ounces of thinly sliced cheese for lunch or dinner. Toss a few of your favorite crackers on the plate, too. A fabulous mix is 1/2 a sliced apple, 2 ounces of cheese, 1 cup of sliced strawberries, a kiwi, and a few grapes from the vine.
Rest easy because YES, you can have bacon while dieting. Microwaving will save you even more calories and fat than the frying method. Three medium slices contain about 100 calories. Toast a couple of slices of bread (70 calories each), spread a bit of LIGHT Miracle Whip onto the bread, then top with the bacon, a few slices of tomato (vine-ripened tastes best!) and lettuce. For about 275 calories, you've got a sandwich fit for a king! French's has a product called, "GourMayo" that's divine! The 'sun dried tomato' version contains 50 calories per Tablespoon with 5 grams of fat. (The total fat calories are 45 - eeek!) Therefore, you may wish to add HALF the recommended amount. You'll be surprised how far a Teaspoon will go and the recipe is extremely tasty, so you need less anyway. There is also a roasted pepper version - and Chipotle. Some other great mentionables that you might like to consider for your main meal entree include baked potato and tasty soups. Weight Loss Information & Dieting Advice
