Shrimp with Mac & Cheese a great combo. Shrimp with Mac & Cheese under 400 calories a fantastic combo! I used Gorton's Homestyle Shrimp. They come in breaded seasoning and baked at 425 degrees for 18 minutes. These are the best tasting boxed and frozen Shrimp I think I've ever had. Delicious and good size Shrimp.
Now for the Mac & Cheese, this is where it gets good! I used TOFU SHIRATAKI (Yam Noodle with Tofu) MACARONI SHAPE which is only 20 calories and 3 carbs! I added a half a serving of Velveeta 2% Cheese, 1 slice Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss Cheese, and 1/4 teaspoon Kraft Shredded Parmesan Cheese. Seasoned with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. Mix it all together and microwave on high for 1 minute and 40 seconds. After the first minute stop it to stir and continue with 40 seconds, this time can vary according to your microwave. This came was the first time I tried this and it came out delicious! I'm starting to really like using Tofu as noodle substitute. Huge difference in calories and carbs between the two also. A thank you to Hungry Girl for the ideal. I left the recipe and the link to the Housefoods Tofu at the end of the post. I also had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later something new a Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothie. i seen these on Biggest Loser and they looked so good I had to try it out and glad I did! Easy to make and a nice thick and tasty Smoothie. Only 130 calories and 18 carbs! I'll leave the write up and nutrition on the post below.
