Welcome back to Wecipe Wednesday. I volunteered to lead a return of this longstanding regular thread at r/loseit at least until the end of March 2021. Since no one has stepped up to take my place yet, I'll keep going until I run out of recipes.
I'll include the ingredients list, nutritional information along with other hints. Some recipes are vegetarian/vegan, others not so much.
Post your favourite healthy recipes here to share with the rest of the loseit community! Recipes don't have to fit this week's theme at all, they should just be something that you can eat reasonably frequently while actively losing weight.
Due to the spirit of the sub, please try to include the calorie and nutritional information if at all possible. MyFitnessPal has awesome recipe calculators you can use!
For the most part, I target my meals to have a component in the 350-550 kcal range. My breakfast and lunch tend to be right around 400 kcal each and dinner can be a bit heavier, or include a side dish to bring the calories up a bit. When I was eating 1650 kcal/day the breakdown was roughly 400/400/600/250 for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks.
Anyhow: enough background on to the recipes!
Chicken Soup
We haven't been trying too many new weight loss friendly recipes since Thanksgiving so I wasn't inspired to post during the holidays.
I love Chicken Noodle soup, but since my partner has celiac disease tinned soup is basically impossible. Gluten free noodles are great, but they don't hold up well in leftovers. So I'm leaning into other ways of enhancing our chicken soup.

¾ cup brown rice [500 kcal] 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves [400 kcal] ¼ cup drained and rinsed black beans [60 kcal] 1 cup diced onion [50 kcal] 5 cups chicken broth [40 kcal] ¼ cup corn [35 kcal] 1 cup diced celery [15 kcal] ¼ cup diced carrots [10 kcal] 1 teaspoon dried sage 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1 bay leaf
TOTAL: 1110 kcal
Divide it according to your dietary needs. Could be dinner for two or three people, 5 lunches or part of a meal with other components.
I made my own stock from the carcass of a rotisserie chicken and used precooked chicken from a can.
What about you, what are you eating?
