In my quest to eat healthier I ended up discovering a new favorite [and healthier] way to make a grilled cheese! You eliminate soooo many calories by not using butter or oil !
Grilled Cheese-
~2 slices of bread (mine were only 100 calories each!)
~1 slice of orange american cheese (only 70 calories!!)
~Instead of loading on the butter on the bread [or oiling (and dirtying) a pan], simply take your slices of bread, and stick them in the toaster!
~When your toast comes out, place your slice of american cheese on it, and cut off the crusts (or keep them on, but I've found that when you cut them off, you save calories, the bread fits the shape of the cheese slice better and you're not left with any non-cheesy bread!).
~Simply press down on the sandwich with a spatula (or like device) to secure & melt the cheese.
~Lastly, pop your sandwich into the microwave for about 15 seconds to make sure the cheese melts!
I've found this recipe super satisfying, especially since I know I'm being healthier! I like to pair this with a chocolate chip cookie to cure my last bit of hungriness & my sweet tooth! The cookie [when using hannaford brand pre-made cookie dough roll] was surprisingly only 120 calories for every 1 & 1/2 inch cookie ball!
So, basically, I've had a satisfying lunch for a satisfying amount of calories! (290!!!)
One last tip, I suggest that you do something while you eat! Whether it be reading, blogging, writing, talking with a friend/family, or anything else! Studies show that it takes your body a full twenty minutes to register that it's full, so by doing something in between, you're buying time, and you eat less, while still being full !
That's all for now!
