    Surf and term usually includes a large portion of meat and a lobster tail dripping in butter. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, try a Skinny Surf and Turf with a lean piece of filet mignon and some Lemon Shrimp. Just as good, much lower fat, and a perfect celebration meal.

    Skinny Surf and Turf

    Add in some ham and this is a pretty authentic sandwich – it’s just on whole wheat slices rather than a roll. But for only 285 calories, I’ll give up a little authenticity – and you don’t have to give up on ANY of the flavor ! You can add some mustard if you like, but I like this one plain.

    Cuban Sandwich

    Cuban Sandwich

    1 serving
    285 calories per serving

    2 oz. cooked leftover pork, sliced thin (slices from Grilled Pork Roast are great)
    2 slices whole wheat lite bread (45 calories per slice)
    1 slice light Swiss cheese (70 calories)
    2 sandwich stacker pickles, patted dry
    Pam
    I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray

    Make a sandwich of the pork, cheese and pickles. Heat a grill pan or frying pan and spray with Pam. Spray one side of the sandwich with 5-10 spritzes of ICBINB spray and lay the sprayed side down. Grill 3 minutes pressing down on the sandwich lightly. Spray the top of the sandwich with ICBINB and flip then continue cooking 2-3 minutes.
