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!

A couple of weeks ago I posted a Stroganoff recipe, well that led us to think about some Marsala chicken. We made it last week with dried wild mushrooms, but decided to repeat it this week with fresh Cremini/Baby Bella. So good.
- 12 ounces dried fettuccine [1200 kcal]
- 1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese [1000 kcal]
- 5 tablespoons butter, divided [500 kcal]
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts [500 kcal]
- 2 tablespoons olive oil [240 kcal]
- 1 cup dry Marsala wine [170 kcal]
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms [100 kcal]
- 3/4 cup chopped onion [30 kcal]
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic [10 kcal]
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard [10 kcal]
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves, plus whole sprigs, for garnish
TOTAL: 3760 kcal in 4-6 servings = 640-965 kcal
This is not a low calorie or low fat recipe, but it is extremely satisfying even in the smaller ~640 kcal portion size. We made a half recipe and split it three ways. The pasta is a third of the calories. Cut that back or serve over spiralized vegetables instead of pasta. That way it becomes ~400-650 kcal. Grill the chicken and reduce the butter to make another cut. I don't recommend cutting back the mascarpone however.
What are you eating?
