So if you are anything like me you may have realized by now that calories pack a real punch when trying to maintain weight. The problem here is that calories are delicious. Trying to eat well and actually enjoy a meal seems to always come down to walking the line with the calorie count!

Feta

Now we all know that there are far more things to consider in the grand scheme of eating on a diet than simply just calories. The amount of trans fat, sodium, cholesterol and so on all play a large factor. But for finding a delicious meal on a fat friendly diet the calories are the real barrier to entry.

What tastes as good as its nutritional value?

Let me give you a cheap jerseys hint, it rhymes with kickin’. Yes the famous chicken comes into play! Grilled chicken is one of the most delicious foods that carry a low Banana calorie count. Along with that you also can find very lean chicken breast (good on you skinny chicken) to help drop the fat levels and create an extremely healthy option!

The main hiccup in this strategy is finding ways to make chicken varied enough to eat often. Anyone can throw a chicken breast over rice and call it a meal but imagine eating it every day! The 85 many options are out there to research and discover. Here is one of my favorite chicken dishes an just how to make it (the way that I like!)

Basil Feta Chicken

the basil

Put simply this is a grilled chicken with sauce laid over it. But great grilled chicken. And fantastic sauce! First off if you can try to avoid the crumbled version of Feta cheese. The cubed Feta is much fresher and the brine it soaks in may look gross but keeps a much stronger flavor profile in the cheese, trust me!
