I know cornbread is majorly bad, but my girlfriends and I had been planning a chili supper at my home long before I started Alli, and it is on friday, does anyone have a good low fat recipe, or any other suggestions, any help would be appreciated,,thanks steph!

I read somewhere that you can substitute yogurt(no fat) (I thought it was on here) for buttermilk in recipes and I tryed it with cornbread and it worked.  The way I make cornbread, I use cornmeal mix, a pinch of baking soda and one egg. The amount of yogurt depends how much you want to make.  If you want to make it sweet, use honey to sweeten it. If I make an 8" pan I use 1 Tbsp of Honey.   I spray my pan with a spray and it has no fat.  Let me know if you do this.

3lildogs,

try using low fat buttermilk and if you want it sweet use about a little spenda (not quite a 1/4 cup) be sure to bake in oven instead of frying.  Have fun at your chili supper!  I notice your Goal weight is 200 as being reasonable, please don't short sell yourself and make it where your BMI is below 30.  I too want to be below 200 but I won't stop there!  Happy Alli!
