12 Healthy Dinners Under 350 Calories

New Year’s resolutions to be more healthy, lose weight and eat better meals are all well and good, but actually following through with them is harder than our optimism can make it seem. If you’re throwing out years of more indulgent eating, that means you’re throwing out the less-healthy – and sometimes just plain unhealthy! – recipes you used to make, and the prospect of replacing them can be daunting and time-consuming. Daunting and time-consuming, that is, if you don’t have us to help you! Skinny Mom recently put together a list of dinners that all top out at only 350 calories per serving, and it inspired us to do the same. Check out these TWELVE recipes that all fall under that 350-calorie mark, and get inspired to eat healthy every dinner of the week.
