Finding recipes that are both accessible and tasty is difficult enough. Add that they need to be low in calories and it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. But while counting calories can be a chore and frustrating, having a general pulse on your calorie intake can be helpful when trying to maintain a healthy weight.

To get the best nutritional bang for your buck, it’s wise to choose foods that are low in calories – or foods that provide a nutritional boost for relatively few calories. Because foods, like many fruits and vegetables, contain fewer calories, you can eat more of them while keeping your daily intake within a healthy range. This means that you will often find that recipes with low calorie foods are more satisfying than those that use up your calorie budget too quickly.

To make it easier for you to get started, we have put together 12 recipes that you can try out in your own kitchen. All of the recipes listed here contain less than 500 calories. Bonus? Plus, they’re packed with essential nutrients and delicious flavors, so meals are anything but boring.
