I live with my older brother, who is very concerned about his weight. We eat a lot of traditional Italian meals, but many of them are heavy in fat and calories.

Does anyone have some meal suggestions for us?

He doesn't like any fish, which makes this harder. But he also wants to find some new meal ideas.

One of my favorite quick and easy dinners is a little delicious twist on grilled cheese. Use real Mozzarella cheese instead of processed, Sprinkle some Oregano on top, sliced tomatoes and toss it between 2 slices of whole grain bread. Use Olive Oil to grease the frying pan instead of butter. It's a beautiful thing! :D

A wok is the key to wonderful, healthy, low fat dishes.

Rather than a recipe there are just general guidelines. First the flavorings go in a little oil. I use an olive oil for health, but it burns when it get very hot so other oils are easier, then add bits of garlic and ginger. Careful not to burn the garlic. Take seasonings out of oil and set aside.

Next add whatever meat you want like beef, pork, chicken, or even white fish, all sliced very thin. A little meat in this dish goes a long ways. Sear this quickly in very hot oil. Set aside with the garlic and ginger.

Have the vegetables ready on squares of waxed paper. How they are cut makes a big difference in the taste of this dish, the only rule is they need to be larger than a cube. A matchstick cut tastes wonderful, but not too small. Choose almost any except starchy vegetables like potatoes. Onions, carrots, mushrooms, green beans, bean sprouts, celery, broccoli, or cauliflower, are good examples. Add the vegetables, adding the ones that cook longest first. Add the meat back in. Taste and add any flavorings you like or none if you like. Soy Sauce, chili paste, oyster sauce, or sesame oil are suggestions. Taste vegetables and serve dish when vegetables are done to your satisfaction. Serve on rice.

Ah, the wok! A tool of trade. Might have one somewhere around here.

That's very helpful, thank you! So much one can do there.

Replace vegetable oil with olive oil. It is healthier and brings out natural flavor instead of just greasy taste. I use olive oil in mac and cheese or spagetti to keep the noodles from sticking and using a whole weat noodle is healthier as well. Venison is also a leaner meat than beef. I slow cook deer steaks on a drizzle of olive oil. It brings flavor and reduces gameyness. I toast bread with olive oil instead of butter a lot of times to. I fry eggs in olive oil. Its biblical and good.
