Grilled Cheese - healthy? How about a Panini!

How to make a REAL and HEALTHY grilled cheese:

100% whole wheat bread (Rudi's), 110 calories a slice = 220 calories
Horizon Organic American Cheese, 60 calories a slice
Applegate Farms Organic smoked chicken breast, 60 calories/serving (4 slices)
Naysoya Fat Free veggie-mayo spread - 10 calories/tbsp
Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss - 35 calories per wedge

Amy's Organic Alphabet Soup - 160 calories/can

All you need is a panini maker and you don't need butter! Just spread the laughing cow cheese on one slice of bread, layer on the chicken, put the American cheese on top, then spread the fat free mayo on the other slice. Into the wam panini maker. Just a few minutes and done! Serve with Amy's organic alphabet soup which is low calorie and super tasty, very tomatoey and perfect for dipping the grilled cheese in.

Make it even skinner by doing ONE piece of bread, that subtracts 110 calories and is a filling, cheesy, gooey meal for only 435 total calories. Just cut one piece of bread in half and layer everything on as listed above.

YUM.

Think before you eat!

It's very simple. Eat food. If you don't know what it is... DON'T EAT IT! Food is fuel and your body is a temple. It's like driving a car. What happens to your car if there is no gas in the tank? Exactly. If there is no gas, you won't go anywhere. Be HONEST with yourself. If you feel sneaky when you are eating: PUT IT DOWN. Be your own "food police" and just be true to you - the most important person in your life! Think about what you are eating. If it's a foot long sub... you are eating a FOOT OF BREAD. Do you really think that's low in calories? Instead, try a simple sandwich with a big huge salad. The sandwich - two pieces of "normal" sized bread. Not gargantuan. Better yet, eat half the sandwich.

But EAT. Eat every 2-3 hours and try to eat smart snacks. So many people eat "power bars" and think it's a good choice. Well, not necessarily. Most power bars are over 200 calories and over 10 grams of fat. How about a low fat string cheese and a medium hard boiled egg? Only 110 calories and 3-8 grams of fat (depending). Plus, you will be less hungry after the cheese/egg than the sugary, calorie and fat laden "power bar." Think people. That's all I ask. Think before you EAT.
