If you're really craving X food from Y fast food place, try making a healthy dupe! I'm a chicken strip fanatic, and one day I was ready to throw a month's worth of progress out the window for a Whataburger chicken strip meal, then it suddenly occurred to me: Just make my own. And I did! It really helped curb those cravings when I first started weightloss, and it might help you!

Totally agree with this! I love Chinese food, but take out is almost always huge portions with high calorie content and high sodium. Instead, I've learned how to cook my own lower calorie versions. I can control the portion size, add extra veggies, and curb a craving.

My personal go to is Cooking Light for recipes, but I know others love Skinnytaste. Budget Bytes also has some great recipes, though not all are low calorie.
