hey there - I have found this great resource for low cal and healthy quick recipies... it's one of those "grocery store" magazines - a small square one called everyday food... they also have a show on PBS and a website through the public television website.

Each month they have quick recipies, always include calorie information, and the past two issues have focused on healthy entrees... I'll post some of their recipies, b/c they are fantastic!!!

2 LBS seems alittle excessive. are you sure its not 2 shallots?:confused:
 
well - that one does serve 12 - so maybe it is 2 lbs... that's only 1/6 lb per person! The recipie would have to be chopped down a bit for serving fewer =)

This is a meal I go to a lot. It is cheap and healthy!

Bacon wrapped chicken
Garlic Red potatoes
Green Beans

Recipes can be but I'm sure those are foods everyone has made before.

You are looking at about 615 caloires, 30% protein, 50% carbs, 20% fat. Maybe a little carb heavy, but cut down on the potatoes or add more chicken if you are worried about that.
 
Cereal products are great resource for low calories and healthy recipes and you can cook it very easy and cereal products are the first choice of busy peoples
