Paella is a traditional Spanish rice dish that features different protein sources (often meat or fish), a variety of veggies (including green beans, peas and peppers) and spices like paprika and saffron. I cut the calories and carbs by making a version using "cauliflower rice." You can enjoy a hearty two-cup serving for less than 200 calories.

Crunchy, salty potato chips are certainly delicious…and admittedly, hard to stop eating. Although a 1-ounce serving is only 150 calories, it’s easy to munch through several servings—or an entire large bag. Yikes!  Instead, try making baked chips at home using root veggies like carrots and parsnips. You’ll get the same addictive flavor while scoring more fiber and antioxidants—and cutting way down on calories. Get your fix with this simple recipe for just 70 calories per serving.

Most “creamed” soups are prepared with heavy cream and cheese, causing calories to soar. A traditional cup of cream of broccoli soup clocks in at 230 calories per cup—and most of us slurp down two cups at a time.   To lighten things up, I traded the cream for cannellini beans—you’ll get the same velvety texture but with an added nutritional boost…all for just 85 calories. With a calorie count that low, you can go ahead and enjoy a second helping!

Anything fried is usually a diet disaster but eggplant can be particularly problematic because its spongy texture ends up soaking up much of the oil. Finish it off with a couple of cheeses—mozzarella and Parmesan—and we’re talking calorie overload! Instead, give this new spin a try; you’ll get the same flavors for a fraction of the calories and fat. Dips, Eggplant Fries, Baked Eggplant Fries, Eggplant Parmesan, Eggplant, Parmesan Fries, Fries
