Summer is just around the corner and although we try to take care of ourselves all year round, this time we tend to pay more attention, practice more exercise and eat low calories recipes.
We have included in our diet more vegetables, salads, and low calories recipes that help us take care of us both on the outside and inside. Having a healthy diet is a matter of changing some eating habits and thus achieving better health. A low-calorie diet consists of switching foods that can have more fats to low-calorie ones, eating five times a day in a balanced way, and including fruits and vegetables in the food, among other things.
How can we make these recipes low in calories?
Very simple with these 3 tricks and cooking recipes that Bonduelle brings you. Take note!
1- Low calories recipes in the oven
Of course, bread is great, but you don´t need to wrap them in breadcrumbs and dip them in olive oil. They can alternate grilling them with some natural seasoning like tomatoes or aromatic herbs. And the day you decide to bake the steaks, which is also an option, you can make them in the oven. A trick for your recipe to be low in calories and also tasty.
A baked chicken breast has a total of 416 Kcal, while the grilled has 120, that is, fewer calories than with the chicken. Be that as it may, bread is not bad if you eat it from time to time and it does not become habitual. In addition, making it in the oven is crisp and healthier. Do not dirty the kitchen so much and the clothes do not smell so much like fried. Need more reasons? Here’s the recipe. You can use meat, chicken or fish. Ours is with chicken. One trick to having more flavor is to let the chicken macerate overnight in a bowl of beaten egg, garlic and parsley. Never fails!

2 – Healthy recipes. How? With no sauces!
Do you prefer mayonnaise or ketchup? It is best not to prefer either. The best sauces are the natural ones, without saturated fats or added sugars that only harm your body.
As always, we say it’s a matter of habit, and nothing happens either by consuming them from time to time … But if you gradually eliminate them from your diet, your body thanks you! For this we have several alternatives: do not run out of sauces, just replace them with other low calories recipes.
If you make a salad, an extra virgin olive oil is the best seasoning, and if you want it to taste, even more, make a vinaigrette dressing. It is very easy to make and healthier than any sauce. Do you want to know how to prepare or vinaigrette? Here is the recipe to accompany a meat or a fish. You can also add it to your salad recipes with some fresh cheese, tomatoes, and oregano. Enjoy it!
