Low Fat Recipes

Low fat cooking that still tastes great

The key to flavorful low fat cooking is technique, not butter. Roasting vegetables at high heat caramelizes their natural sugars. Citrus juices and vinegars add brightness without calories. Fresh herbs and spices deliver complex flavors with zero fat. Chicken breast baked with lemon and oregano. Cod steamed with ginger and soy sauce. Turkey meatballs in a fresh tomato sauce. These low fat recipes prove that reducing fat does not mean reducing flavor.

Lean protein meals under 10 grams of fat

Chicken breast, turkey breast, white fish, shrimp and egg whites are the leanest protein sources available — all under 3 grams of fat per serving with 25 to 35 grams of protein. Build your meals around these proteins with steamed or roasted vegetables and a small portion of complex carbs. A grilled chicken breast with steamed broccoli and sweet potato. Baked cod with roasted asparagus and quinoa. These meals deliver maximum protein with minimal fat.

Heart-healthy low fat dinners

Reducing saturated fat is one of the most effective dietary changes for heart health. These low fat dinner recipes use olive oil sparingly instead of butter, lean cuts instead of fatty meats and fresh ingredients instead of processed foods. Baked salmon with a light herb crust. Turkey chili with beans and vegetables. Chicken and vegetable soup with whole grain bread. Every recipe includes full macros so you can track your fat intake precisely.
