I been on a health kick lately. And I did some research and found out that a lot of the foods I eat are not only high in fat, but high in calories. OUCH. My favorite Chinese food is nearly 1300 calories alone!
I was wondering if any of you had some healthy recipes for your favorite foods. Or how to make your favorite food (such as pizza, noodles, etc) be a bit more healthy (if you cook it at home).

To help make food a bit more healthy you can use wheat and whole grain pasta's, rice, and bread. Use fresh or frozen veggies. Lean meats. Eat ground turkey instead of ground beef. Do not fry your foods. Bake, steam, grill or broil. Chose a healthy oil if you must use oil. Do not add sugar and salt to foods. Try herbs and spices instead. And above all else use portion control. Read labels to find out portion sizes and go by that. If you must have seconds, make it veggies. Try this site for healthy recipes: http://www.dlife.com, it is a diabetic site, but you can search recipes by what you are looking for.
