How Do You Like Your Onion? - Low Fat, Low Calorie Vegetable Recipe for Dieters
300 Calories 17 Fat Grams OR 30 Calories 0 Fat?
My oh, my. How did my little Vidalia onion get thirty times heavier? Could that smidge of oil and flour really pack that many calories and that much fat onto my recipe? I'm afraid so…
The 'quantity of food' and 'type of food' are both very important issues in weight loss. But 'how your food is cooked' may have the biggest bearing on your diet and your success in achieving your weight loss goal.

Let's use our sweet little Vidalia onion for an example.
- 10 Rings when deep fat-fried pack a whopping 300 calories!
- ½ cup of chopped or sliced onion that's been saluted in non-calorie spray, or grilled contains only 30 calories.
Does this mean that you should totally give up fried onion rings? Does this mean that you can never have another onion ring as long as you live? Are you destined to be onion ringless for life? No!
Yes, you can have onion rings. BUT (I know), BUT we must allow for the added calories and fat grams in our diet whenever we indulge. Also, we must be aware that too much fat - as well as the wrong type of fat - isn't healthy. We must also be aware that during weight reduction time (the diet word) we need to stay away from evil, yes I said EVIL fried onion rings.
However, if you're dieting and you find yourself experiencing a Fried Onion Ring Attack on the corner of 5th & Main, then enjoy your 10 onion rings to the fullest! Next, mark those calories down either mentally or physically with a 'non-invisible' pen. If you neglect to account for those calories, don't worry because you're hips or waist will.
So before you fire up that deep fat fryer, or before you tell the waitress you'll have the 'Fried Platter Sampler', consider the healthier, low-calorie, vitamin rich alternative - grilled, saluted in non-calorie spray, boiled, broiled or baked!
The following recipe for Sky's Acorn Squash is 'to live for'! The next time you feel like fried squash, try this instead. Your heart and hips will kiss you for it!
