Holly’s Spaghetti and Meatballs
Holly’s Spaghetti and Meatballs: Approximately 550 calories for this entree. Boil approx. 2 oz. of whole wheat spaghetti (this is about one cup when cooked, and approximately 210 calories). I add salt and a drop of olive oil to the water. Microwave six small frozen meatballs (I like the Trader Joe’s frozen Meatless Meatballs; six are approximately 140 calories, and they have a lot of protein) and place into a sauce pan with spaghetti sauce (1 cup is 160 calories)....

Holly’s Grilled Salmon
Holly’s Grilled Salmon: Approximately 245 calories for the serving of salmon. This is a really simple and nutritious meal. I bake 1 marinated salmon fillet (I use Morey’s Marinated Wild Alaskan Salmon that is pre-seasoned, which I buy at Costco. There are 6 fillets in a box.) The serving is prepackaged, so it is easy to ensure the calorie count is correct. I serve this with a small yam sprinkled with cinnamon and artificial sweetener (I use Splenda), and my Roasted...

Holly’s Rotisserie Chicken with Salsa: Approximately 250 calories for a serving of chicken and salsa. Buy a pre-cooked large rotisserie chicken from Costco or your local grocery store.

I love the Garden Fresh Gourmet Jack’s Special Salsa from Costco (10 calories for 2 tablespoons, so I use as much as I... Read More

Holly’s Shrimp with Thai Noodles: Approximately 460 calories. Prepare Trader Joe’s Garlic Rice Noodle Soup Bowl according to instructions (this is a dry soup to which you add boiling water).
