Abs Diet Recipes
Enjoying delicious, healthy foods. If you don’t believe healthy, low-fat abs diet recipes can be wildly delicious.
I have found that diets fail is because of lack of planning. People, or at least me, have a tendency to eat bad food unless they have taken the time to prepare the meal themselves ahead of time. The is why I suggest the you take the power foods and make yourself an Abs diet menu at the beginning of every week, or at least every couple of days.
The hardest part of defining abs is finding them. In order to see your abs, you must lose the body fat. After your fat is gone, you still have to build up muscle tissue, and that requires protein.

4. Abs Diet Recipe - Spicy Turkey MeatloafWritten
This one is spicy turkey meatloaf.
This recipe is loaded with disease fighting nutrients lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin.
This recipe is also a great protein source.
You can also adjust the level of spiciness by adding more chili powder or less (down here in Texas, we like our meatloaf spicy!!)
1 package (10 oz) frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tsp oregano, dried
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 cup canned corn, drained
1 1/4 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
1/4 cup chili sauce or ketchup
1/2 cups rolled oats (not quick cooking)
2 large egg whites, beaten until frothy
2 tsp garlic, minced
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, using a fork, mix together oats, egg whites, and tomatoes. Blend in turkey, chili powder, oregano, garlic, chili sauce or ketchup, and pepper. Mix in spinach and corn.
Pack mixture firmly into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan that has been lightly coated with cooking oil spray. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until juices run clear when meat loaf is pierced with a knife, or internal temperature registers 165°F. Remove from oven and let meat loaf sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
Yummy. This is making me hungry.
