Meals Under 500 Calories

Just because you're watching your calories, doesn't mean you have to eat sad restriction food! Bust out some kitchen magic and make one of these tasty low calorie meals under 500 calories.

Soups and stews are a great way to feel full while dieting. Chicken and leek or chicken and chickpea are also good sources of protein and filing fiber.

Beans and legumes are also a great way to eat more protein and fiber - try 30-minute spiced red lentil and cauliflower stew or smoky Romanian bean stew.

Or go full protein with Shepherd's pie stew or slow cooked pork and beans with smoked ham hock.
