Why This Recipe is Great for Weight Loss
This chili is a great option for weight loss because it’s high in protein and fiber while staying low in calories. The chicken and beans help keep you full longer, reducing the urge to snack between meals. Plus, since it’s made with whole, real ingredients and no added sugar, it helps keep blood sugar stable.
Portioning is easy, too. Since it all cooks together in one pot, you can divide it into meal prep containers for the week. If you’re following Weight Watchers, using low-fat cheese makes this a low-point meal that’s still hearty and satisfying.
