In this article, I’m going to show you the best low calorie meals for weight loss. I spent tons of time putting these together so I’m sure you’ll get a lot of great ideas.

Weight Loss & Calories

Weight loss can be tricky due to genetics.

Generally speaking, weight loss is just a function of calories in vs calories out. If you burn more calories than what you consume, that triggers weight loss.

However, If you’re someone with low insulin sensitivity, it makes it difficult for you to transfer carbs from your bloodstream into your cells.

The excess carbs turn to fat.

The following recipes are low calories and some are low calorie and low carb. They’ll help you get some meal prep ideas to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
