Beloved and I are heavily into Weight Watchers right now, and I fully expected to be miserable. However, we’ve found a few great sources for low-carb, low-fat recipes, and in fact (though we are occasionally VERY HUNGRY), we’re actually having fun with it! I figured we’re probably not the only ones on the weight struggle bus, so I thought I’d include some dinner recipes we’ve tried and loved alongside some I look forward to exploring. Enjoy!
- Southwestern Goulash from Simple Nourished Living
- Greek Salad Pasta from Hungry Healthy Happy (we add baked chicken breasts and double up on the veggies to cut calories)
- Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup from Delish
- Vegan Bolognese from Olive Magazine
- Chili Beef and Broccoli from Weight Watchers
- Egg Roll in a Bowl from Recipe Diaries
- Rosemary Roasted Salmon from Eating Well
- Low Carb Cauliflower Mac & Cheese from The Protein Chef
- Lightened Up Shrimp Scampi from Pound Dropper
- One-Pot Bucatini Amatriciana from Weight Watchers (swoon!)
- Low-fat Turkey Chili from The Spruce Eats (this one has gotten us through many chilly nights!)
- Halloumi Mediterranean Vegetable Tray Bake from Olive Magazine
- Healthy Orange Chicken from The Clean Eating Couple
- Rosemary Grilled Pork Skewers from Carrie’s Experimental Kitchen
- Air Fryer Avocado Black Bean Taquitos from Have a Plant
- Winter Beef Stew from Weight Watchers
- Low-fat Ratatouille from Simple Nourished Living
- Udon Noodle Bowl from Eating Well (I’m not a fan of tofu, so I replace it with sliced hard boiled eggs)
- Honey Garlic Chicken Stir Fry from Delish
- Low-fat Spinach and Ricotta Pasta from The Spruce Eats
- Air Fryer Salmon from Downshiftology
- Bang Bang Cauliflower from Healthy Seasonal Recipes
- Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken from Delish
- Tomato Eggplant Puttanesca from Weight Watchers (this one is deeply satisfying, and we’re making it for dinner tonight!)
I’d love it if you’d share your favorite low-fat/low-carb recipes as well. Happy cooking!

In hospital. Pneumonia any where from two to six days. Depends on how my body responds to the meds. I will try and keep but that might be a problem. At home I use a table top computer. In hospital the best I have is a cell phone. I will go over the recipes after I get home

I guess it would be bad form for us all to show up at the hospital, right?

HAL!!! Oh, honey, I’m so sorry you’re sick. My dad had pneumonia last summer, and he was miserable for a bit, but he did recover nicely. Wishing you as speedy a recovery. My poor friend! Sending you love and healing thoughts.
