Making a low fat meal from scratch is one of the easiest ways of creating delicious yet healthy food that won't add pounds. This article includes three easy, low fat meal recipes, each one almost ludicrously simple to make, yet healthy, delicious, and filling.

Easy Cheesy Broccoli Rice

Per person, this recipe call for 1 cup boiled brown rice, 1 cup broccoli, steamed, and 2 oz. low fat cheddar cheese, shredded. In a saucepan, combine the broccoli and rice. Sprinkle the cheese on top, and mix until the ingredients are thoroughly heated through and the cheese is melted. Serve on a bed of lettuce.

Low Fat Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Starting with low fat cheese makes all the difference in this dieter's take on the cheesy classic. Cut 2 ounces of cheese into four slices, two per sandwich. Use four slices of whole wheat or honey wheat bread. Grill them in a teaspoon of canola oil or extra virgin olive oil, rather than butter or margarine, for a healthier sandwich that's lower in fat than your traditional grilled cheese sandwich. Cut them diagonally and garnish them with sprigs of parsley, or tuck them into a lunchbag for a meal on the go.

Low Fat Casserole

The traditional family Sunday dinner becomes a low fat meal in this healthier twist on an old favorite. Layer 2 cups of chopped, steamed broccoli, 1/2 cup of uncooked oatmeal (in place of bread crumbs), 1/4 cup of chopped carrots, and 1/4 cup of chopped mushrooms. Pour 1 cup of low fat, low salt chicken broth over the casserole, and top with 6 ounces of low fat cheese, shredded. Bake at 350 until the top is brown and bubbly and the oatmeal is cooked through.

Making a low fat meal doesn't have to be a headache of epic proportions. Keep your ingredients fresh and lightly cooked, and start from scratch rather than going prepackaged.
