Delicious-Tasting Recipes That Make Following A Low Fat Diet Easy AF

Nothing quite compares to cooking up a meal that's healthy AND hearty (and most importantly, low fat). But, what are those kind of meals? Well, when following a low fat diet you can eat everything from beans and legumes, to fish and chicken. It's just about what else you pair with the meal. Low on inspo? We've got LOADS of delicious-tasting low fat recipes including Sweet Potato Salad, Spinach Lentil Soup and Grilled Balsamic Mushrooms.

Mushrooms can get sidelined at a barbecue as the lame side dish for vegetarians, but when tossed in a balsamic-soy glaze, they'll get all the attention.

We love lentil soup for its versatility. We add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic as a base, plus canned tomatoes and fresh thyme. Lentil soup of course also needs lentils. The 18 minute wait is the time the lentils take to cook.

There is no need to think ahead with the Instant Pot. You can cook dried beans in 35 minutes, meaning you can still use them in that Nacho Soup you were planning on making tonight. Easy peasy.

When it comes to cooking mushrooms, there are really no rules for me. Take a fat of your choice, a couple of aromatics of your choice, and your mushroom of choice, season with salt and maybe pepper and let it cook until slightly golden—and that's pretty much it.

These little guys are scary addictive. Just as the courgette becomes tender, the cheese is getting melty and delicious. If you want a little extra colour on your bites, switch the oven to grill on medium and cook them a couple minutes more. (Just keep an eye on them.)

We love this salad warm, straight from the oven. But it's also very good at room temperature one (two or three) days later. You can bulk it up with leafy greens like baby spinach, put it in a wrap, or even top it with a fried egg. The sweet potato salad is your oyster?
