Are you trying to lose weight? You’ve probably heard the saying that “Calories in, equals calories out.” So, you’re probably trying to eat fewer calories. But typical everyday meals are loaded with calories.

Today, I’m sharing 20 low calories meals. They’re not only low in calories, but good for you too.

1. Chicken Pozole Recipe

Soups are a great way to help you lose weight. That’s because they’re packed with fluid, so they help you feel full. So, it’s a great idea to add soups to your diet. Soups like this Chicken Pozole.

In case you don’t know what it is, Chicken Pozole is a Mexican soup made from hominy.

Hominy is dried corn, which has been softened using a lime or lye solution.

Traditionally, you use pork in the Pozole. In this Pozole, however, you’ll be using chicken breast.

Like pork, chicken breast is packed with protein. Unlike pork, it is lower in calories.

The Mexican tomatoes add a nice acidity to the Pozole, while the hot pepper sauce and jalapenos add some heat.

Besides adding heat, jalapenos may help you lose weight by increasing your metabolism and quenching your appetite. So, pack on those jalapenos!

Making this Pozole is pretty easy, especially if you use an Instant Pot. Just saute your onions, spices, and jalapenos in the Instant Pot.

Then dump the rest of your ingredients in, and pressure cook. Ten minutes later, it’s ready…it’s that easy. If you don’t have an Instant Pot yet, there’s a good deal right now on this high-quality Instant Pot.

Now, this Pozole is a meal in itself. But, if you like, you can garnish it with veggies like radishes, shredded cabbage, and green onion. Yum!
