Got leftovers?

I am sure like me, many people have some left over chicken, beef, fish, veggies, etc from all the holiday cooking. Whether  fried, boiled, roasted or burnt they must be used one way or the other abi? Well since i love to experiment with my cooking, i decided to try some things with mine. Eating healthy and trying to lose weight doesn't have to be boring and dry you know. Even though I often have veggies at home, i think this can help you do something with yours for the weekend.

1. My Veggie and Noodles meal:

    A serving (raw) of Chinese noodles

      Ingredients:

• Carrots
• Cabbage
• Onions
• Green beans
• Green pepper
• Shrimps (half a cup or about 15 small pieces)
• Noodles (i use plain Chinese noodles) 150 calories per serving.

               

The finished product.

This is basically a stir fry, i use a table spoon of canola oil (100 calories)to fry the shrimps with some basic spices, and seasoning, then add the veggies chopped, then i add a bit of water to help steam the veggies for about 2 mins. The water also helps to form a bit of extra sauce because i hate dry noodles. After you must have boiled the noodles in a separate pan, pour all the veggies on it or stir in the pan if you like. i love to have this for Lunch or dinner, its very filling and yummy. This meal totals about 360 calories, which is very ok. try this recipe pleaseeeeee.

2. My Home made Shawarma:

     Ingredients:

• 1 Flat arabian bread (about 150 calories) Lebanese stores sell them for about N250

• Chopped Carrots, cabbages, etc (about 30 calories)

• Chopped chicken or fish bits. or both (about 50 calories)
• a tea spoon of low fat mayonnaise, or plain yogurt. (about 29 calories)
• I like adding a bit of hot sauce to mine. Lol

I'm a big shawarma fan, but i'm always scared of what they mix in it, so this inspired me to make mine this way, i can be sure of how many calories i'm consuming. I mix the veggies with the mayo, then spread on the flat bread, spread the chicken bits, and add your hot sauce or a spoon of ketchup if you like. (please remember that your portion is key, if you want to maintain weight loss, so everything must be done minimally abeg oooo. So fold the bread and enjoy. I press mine a bit in the toaster so its hot. This meal can me eaten as breakfast, it contains about  270 calories which is fab for breakfast, because it means you can add a cup of tea or coffee to make it about 300 calories. Remember portion control guys.

                                                          My roll. Yummmyyyyy!!!

These meals are healthy, but shouldn't be eaten on a daily basis. For those on a detox diet, please don't attempt this for now until you have fully cleansed, else it will affect your results. Enjoy your weekend y'all.

God bless.
