What a great flavor ! The honey mop at the end of the grilling makes for a perfectly sweet yet spicy chicken leg.

207 calories per serving

2 t garlic powder
2 t chili powder
2 t salt
1 t cumin
1 t paprika
1 t red pepper flakes
5 medium chicken legs (about 3 oz. each)
6 T honey
2 t cider vinegar
1 t barbeque sauce
High heat grill spray

Heat grill and spray with cooking spray. Mix all the spices in a large bowl and add the chicken. Mix around pressing the spices into the chicken so they stick much like a dry rub. Grill chicken 18 minutes. Mix honey and vinegar and mop half of it over the legs with a brush. Cook one minute. Flip legs and mop with the rest of the honey mix. Cook one final minute and then serve immediately.

Aileen,
Those may be the prettiest legs I’ve ever seen!
I like the low-calories. Excellent idea. (I’m not quite at 40 just yet….but not far from it.) All this metabolism slowing has me scared to death. I’ve never had much of one from the onstart.
But thanks for tasting and testing and tweaking, so we don’t have to do it. We can just make it and eat it!
And kudos to you for not falling prey to the diet industry. They just lie and gobble up our money. We just have to EAT LESS! Hate it or not. (Does seem unfair, but, ah, so is life, as the Brazilians say.)

LOL – yup, it’s a harsh reality, especially for a foodie. And that’s the main reason I did this blog – to share with everyone that you can still eat good yet eat for health and life. Thanks for writing, Jennifer !!

About 400 Calories or Less

What's a foodie to do when she passes the 40 mark and her metabolism comes to a screeching halt? (hint...denial did not work !) So I've put together a collection of everyday meals that are simple to make, under 400 calories, yet so savory and delicious that you won't miss your old favorites and standbys. I've tested and tweaked, tested and tweaked and the recipes yield satisfying and scrumptious home cooked foods, because regular 'diet food' just wasn't going to cut it in this house !

If you are cooking for a family, stick to the 400 calories for yourself, but just give larger portion sizes to other family members. I double up dinner for my husband and it is more than enough. That way you are not spending too much time cooking multiple dishes. The family will love these meals !

I hope you enjoy :)

Aileen
