Grains add oomph to any diet plan. They are filling and can be easily partnered with healthy foods such as skim milk. On the flip side, they can also be partnered with fattening foods such as butter, secret sauces (that are no secret to your weight scales), cream and sugar.

As to calories, they are reasonably low when enjoyed in moderation but it's ultra easy to go overboard when it comes to rice and pasta.

Speaking of rice, a little can go a long way in producing delectable meals for the dieter. Add a bit to canned soup for a zippy addition. Add a bit of wild rice to saulteed veggies and lean fish or chicken - and you've got a dynamite meal for a handful of calories.

Let's not forget breakfast. Cold rice is delicious when topped with skim milk, a bit of sugar substitute and just a pat of butter. Simply warm in the microwave and call in the Queen and King!
