Last night I made another delicious meal that was low-fat. You can have a cup and it's filled with tons of veggies!
In a 9x11 sprayed dish at 350 for 40 minutes you will combine: 2 cups cooked chicken, 1/2 cup diced carrots, 3 cups zucchini, 1 60 oz. box low-sodium stuffing, 3/4 cup margarine ...

I will very shortly be on maintenance and I've had a lot of questions about what foods I eat while on it. If you have been reading my posts since day one then please disregard this one. My consultant wants to make sure I have a cup of whole milk, a fruit, starch, and 3g or more of protei...
