High Volume Low Calorie Recipe Round Up
Am I the only one that LOVES eating huge plates of food? What can I say? I love to eat. If you’re like me, you’ll love high volume low calorie foods because you can eat a huge plate and still have calories left for dessert 😉
So here are some of my favorite high volume low calorie recipes and foods:
This spaghetti squash lasagna is SO cheesy and delicious but it’s still so low in calories!
More of a spaghetti person? Try these low calorie zucchini noodles! Have it with real meatballs or these nut”meat”balls!
Craving fast food? Slice up some butternut squash and make Butternut squash fries! They taste like sweet potato fries, but you can eat a giant plate of them for a fraction of the calories!
Need a quick and easy breakfast option? These banana bread muffins are just 60 calories each. Yes, 60.
Dreaming of tacos? These roasted cauliflower tacos are vegan, gluten free, and low in calories!
Craving something sweet? Have you tried Halo Top, yet? (I know, it’s not a recipe, but it’s so good, you need to try it.)
Can’t find Halo Top in your area? Whip up some mango frozen yogurt for a sweet, low calorie treat! It’s just two ingredients!
This easy one pan ratatouille is loaded with vegetables so you can have a huge serving for less than 300 calories.
Soup is one of my favorite high volume, low calorie foods. A big bowl of this Parmesan tomato soup is just 140 calories, which means you can totally add a grilled cheese sandwich.

Your website is so covered in ads and pop ups, I can’t see a single word. Even after closing all of them, they popped right back up.
I love your ideas of high volume meals put together in one place! I’ll be trying the butternut squash fries which look really tasty!
i was wondering what is the recipe for the cereal bar you have pictured.
A few goodies to share-large quantities-no guilt: 1. smoothies-1/2 scoop of protein powder, pinch of salt, tsp or less of instant coffee (decaf of course) a bunch of sweetener and then any extract (vanilla? a little bit of crystal light drink mix? tea) 1 c. water and 3 c. ice. Throw it in the blender for a while (2 min or so) and you have about 2 pints of cold, sweet, creamy goodness!
Goody #2 which might make some people nervous…raw (or cooked) meringue-egg whites, pinch of salt whipped for 2 min, add a pinch of cream of tartar OR 1/4 t (a few drops in the cap) of plain vinegar. Whip again. Add sweetener/sugar and some flavoring (not necessary with the sweet-but vanilla is delicious!) Eat it as is, throw it in the freezer or put it in a pan and bake it. Be careful how much liquid flavoring you add since liquid kills the meringue!
#3-U-bet sugar free chocolate syrup tastes great and has zero calories and zero carbs
#4-jello of course, but double the water and add a little crystal light for a flavor boost. You can get more bang for the buck! Same thing with pudding-1 c. milk with 2. water to one package of fat free, sugar free pudding mix and then freeze it. defrost for 30 sec. It is awesome!
Butternut squash fries are the way forward, I’ve been testing out other squash fries too so far enjoying kabocha and coquina squash fries too – the latter are nice and sweet and gorgoeous with a table spoon of maple syrup or a sprinkle of cinnamon!
Great ideas!! I am all about getting the most out of the smallest amount of ingredients!! 🙂
hold. the. phone. those fries look uh-mazing!
I wish I knew all of the U.S. Presidents in order. I think I can name, like, five. Maybe.
Walking down the stairs in heels while texting and holding coffee is a skill that takes years to perfect. Good thing I have been practicing since grade school — minus the coffee part. Replace coffee with Mt. Dew, and that was me.
Sci-fi is stupid.
I don’t sit still. AT ALL.
I couldn’t navigate my way out of a paper bag. Think of Snooki and Ronnie on this past week’s “Jersey Shore” trying to find their way to the gym and cafe, and that would be me on a good day.
… This was a long comment. But you love it. Don’t lie.

Your comments make my day. Mostly because they further confirm the fact that we were made for each other, and we will one day run away together.
