Help A Fat Guy Out

Barley, Shrimp and Saffron Risotto may not sound like a hearty meal but trust me it is.  It's much heartier then a soup and during the winter the warmth of the creamy barley can quickly become a comfort food that this fat guy loves.  Make this and you'll know why all the 4 star fancy restaurants have risotto on their menus.  I've made this dish with and without saffron and while I prefer it with, it's a great dish without.

Great tasting beef and broccoli is a quick and healthy dish that can satisfy your cravings for Chinese food which is often over oily and salting in the USA.

Guys, you can eat beef and still lose weight but you have to choose your beef wisely.  This is a great recipe for cooking a low fat steak and packing plenty of flavor into it.

Egg Foo Yung is perfect for a fat guy like me that's trying to lose weight.  It's packed with protein, cheap, fast and easy (hmmm..... that reminds me of something else)

I love pork tender tenderloin and this recipe rocks.  The other white meat, red meat, this fat guy doesn't really care as it's delicious, low in fat and calories.  A 1 oz. serving has less then 40 calories and 10 from fat.  That means dig in!

Italian Greens, Beans and Bacon Pasta is a very hearty Italian classic dish and this recipe makes it healthier for you too.  You have hearty greens, filling beans and the flavor of bacon added to your pasta.  What more could you want?

I love Korean Barbecue, known as Bulgogi and this easy and healthy recipe should fit into a busy schedule and a reasonably low fat diet.  Traditionally this is made using beef short ribs with about 25% fat but my recipe uses skirt steak with about half the fat and less then 60 calories per oz.

Yes there is such a thing as a low-fat cheese steak and this one packs a lot of flavor and can satisfy me when i want a cheese steak.  Try it, you won't be disappointed.

This is an adaptation of one of my favorite tilapia dishes. By steaming the fish instead of pan frying the flavors combine much better, the dish is much easier to make and you can also cook this on the grill or as a casserole.  You can easily halve this dish or double it depending on how many you're feeding.
