Hi Jason and emoticon to SparkPeople!

As an Air Force veteran I completely understand how important it is for you to lose the weight. With the help and support of the people here you can succeed. I see you've already been using the nutrition tracker. Fantastic. I also recommend the Fitness, Nutrition and Motivational articles. There is so much helpful information in those articles. Getting involved with a team or two is also helpful in your success. Learning to live a healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be difficult - SparkPeople makes it fun! Here's to a successful weight loss journey. Best wishes to you Jason, and thank you for serving.

Chicken Breasts with Red Wine Sauce (Chef Meg's Makeover)
Submitted By: CHEF_MEG

Chef Meg made over a classic dish, which is sometimes called "Hunters Chicken" or "Chicken Cacciatore." ("Cacciatore" means "hunter" in Italian!)

She reduced the fat and sodium in the recipe and cut almost 60 calories from each serving! She also added quartered mushrooms to bulk up the recipe and increase the serving size.

NOTE: In choosing a wine for cooking, always use one that's good enough to drink. Never buy "cooking wine," which is full of additives and sodium. Keep a four-pack of small wine bottles on hand for cooking.
