Need easy recipes.

Hi, I live on my own and cook for myself. I find I often take the unhealthy
option on snacks and meals in general. I am not a member of a weight
watchers group and only want to drop a few excess kilos.

I have made an effort to stock the fridge with some fruit and am unsure on
the fat content of pasta, rice or fish.What are the good foods and what are
the big no no's.

I would really like to know what are some favorite and easy recipies. I
don't mind turning over a new leaf and trying something new.

Cheers
Lynne

Here's a few hints. AVOID all sugary foods, fried foods, junk foods and
high-carb foods. Practice portion control. Weigh and measure everything
you eat. Try and get some exercise every day.

Why not join WW and learn about portion control or find out how many
calories a day it would take for you to lose weight? Snacking on fruit
alone wont do it.

Tonight we're having baked Tilapia fish, microwaved small white potatoes (1
each) and a low-carb veggie mix. Altogether about 400 calories per serving.
