Diet types

The low-cal diet

Rather obviously, low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you plan to become thinner, it is important to take in fewer calories than you need for exercise.

So what is a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food type contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when your body digests it.

Examples of low calorie foods include brussels sprouts, carrots, guava, steak and burger based meals, and skimmed milk.

Ingredients And Procedures

2 1/2 lb Green tomatoes, sliced verti

-cally 1/4 inch thick 3 Garlic, clove, sliced

3/4 c Flour

Salt Pepper 4 tb Olive oil

Shake tomato slices in a paper sack with salt, pepper and flour. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a black iron skillet. Add tomatoes and garlic. Cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, then, using a stiff spatula, scrape bottom of skillet and turn tomatoes. Continue to cook over medium to high heat, scraping bottom of skillet occasionally to prevent burning. You want the tomatoes which come in direct contact with the skillet to get dark. You should expect some sticking; just scrape hard. Try to resist adding more oil but do so if you must. When most of the tomatoes have turned olive green or dark brown, about 20 minutes, lower heat to low. Continue to cook, worrying the tomatoes around with the spatula until they are all either brown or olive green.
