Sweet Potato Chips

Sweet Potato Chips 

INGREDIENTS

Japanese sweet potato (medium) 200g 264cal 

1 teaspoon of olive oil 40cal

1 tablespoon of curry powder 21cal

TOTAL CALORIES: 325cal 

STEPS

1. Boil sweet potatoes for roughly 15 minutes till slightly soften. 
2. Slice the sweet potatoes carefully into wedges. 
3. Place them on the baking tray lined with baking cloth/paper.
4. Coat them with olive oil and curry powder.
5. Bake at 180 - 200 degree Celsius for 15-20 minutes/until cooked. 

In comparison to regular potatoes, 200g of potato has 154cal. I wonder why it's lower. I thought sweet potatoes should be lower? People always claim that potatoes are not really a healthy choice.

Basic Garlic Olive Oil Pasta 

Created by me

1 serving 

INGREDIENTS

1 teaspoon of olive oil 38 cal 

50g fussili 178 cal 

36g prawn (2 large) 36 cal 

1 chicken hotdog 73 cal 

1 lime (extract juice) 2 cal 

3 cloves of minced garlic 12 cal 

little sea salt for seasoning 

dry chili (small chunks) 2 cal 

TOTAL CALORIES: 341 cal 

STEPS

1. Boil fussili till cooked. Strain water and put aside to be used later. 
2. Marinate prawns with lime juice. Cook on stove without oil till the colour turns red indicating cooked. Put a side on the plate. 
3. Make slit cuts to the hotdog to check whether it is thoroughly cooked. 
4. Heat olive oil in pan. Stir fry garlic and dry chili chunks together with hotdog. 
5. Put in fussili and continue to stir fry for a while. 
6. Place hotdog on the plate and dash a small pinch of salt for seasoning. 
7. Serve. 

All recipes can be adapted very easily according to calorie plus and minus. So basically this dish's hotdog can easily be replaced with real meat. I didn't have time to thaw the meat so I just used the hotdog for a quick choice. All I can say is - I love limes lately. They are so lovely in marinating meat. What's more, it is so low in calories! And it is free. Grandma's house has a lot. 

Lydia's Chicken Tomato Fussili

I'm so excited to come up with a pasta recipe which is low in calories. The accuracy for this recipe should reach at least 80% since I measured almost all ingredients.

Lydia's Chicken Tomato Fussili 

Per serving: 375 Kcal 

INGREDIENTS

50g fussili 

50g stir-fry green pepper chicken breast (pre-cooked, without skin and bone, taking only the meat)

123g tomato (medium-large size)

8g garlic (3 cloaves) 

a small pinch of salt

a big pinch + a small pinch of mixed herbs 

STEPS

1. Boil the fussili till soften. Set a side on a plate.
2. Blend the peeled tomatoes and garlic with some water (just enough to blend).
3. Pour the tomato mixture into the pan for 1 - 2 minutes. 
4. Put in the chicken breast and let it simmer in the sauce until the sauce thickens. 
5. Add in the fussili to coat well with the sauce.
6. Serve. 

I didn't jot down all the ingredients' individual calories as I keyed in everything in my Fitness Pal's app. So I only came up with a total of 375Kcal. 

I can't believe the amount of oil in this pasta is near to just 1/2 teaspoon of oil at maximum and what's more.. It could actually taste quite good!! It tasted better than I thought! This is just awesome!
