Eating healthy foods is an important and essential part of life. After all, food is the source of the nutrients and calories that we require in order to survive, while also providing us the energy we require for our daily activities. All of us know that besides exercising, making better food choices is vital for sustaining any weight loss program we may be on. So, here are some weight watchers recipes that are healthy as well as delicious, which will also take care of that waistline:

Spicy Yogurt Chicken

2 lbs chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into 8 pieces

1 cup yogurt, low-fat

3/4 tsp coriander powder

3/4 tsp cumin powder

1 tbsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp juice and zest of lemon

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp salt

Fresh cilantro, chopped

Except for the chicken, put all the ingredients in a large bowl, and whisk them together. Then, add the chicken, stirring it in until coated well. Marinate it for about 20 minutes at room temperature. Next, pan fry or grill, without adding any additional fat, for about 10-12 minutes. Should be served with a salad and a green vegetable dish.

Pork Chops Rubbed with Spice

4 5-oz pieces of boneless lean pork loin

1 tsp cumin, ground

2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground

1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground

1/4 tsp salt

1 spray of cooking spray

Combine the pepper, salt, cinnamon, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl.

Butterfly the pork chops by putting them flat on a cutting board and slicing them into halves, stopping just as you reach half an inch from the edge, hence keeping both the halves joined. Pry the chops open, flattening them on the work surface. Then, rub the mixture of spice on both sides of each chop. Next, put them on a plate, and after covering, refrigerate for about an hour or even overnight.

Use the cooking spray to coat a grill pan or grill rack, and then set the heat on medium if you are using the pan, or heat the grill.

Grill the chops for about 3 minutes, then turn them over and continue cooking for 4 more minutes, until the grill marks appear and the chops become firm. Place them on a cutting board or serving plate, and let them stand for about 5 minutes before serving.

Green Egg Salad

6 eggs, whole and hard-boiled

2 medium sized scallions, chopped finely

1 tsp green chili peppers, canned – drained and chopped

1 tbsp fresh cilantro, minced

1/2 sweet red pepper, chopped finely

1/4 cup mayonnaise, fat-free

1 tbsp salsa

1/4 tsp cumin, ground

1/8 tsp black pepper

11/4 tsp salt

Peel the eggs, and then placing them in a bowl, mash them with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix them in well. The egg salad can be served on top of mixed greens or in a cored bell pepper, or in a bowl by itself.
