If you're looking to shed a few pounds, it's important to fuel your body with nutritious foods that are low in calories and high in nutrients. Here are three healthy recipes that are perfect for anyone looking to lose weight:

1. Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Skewers

• 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped into bite-sized pieces

• 1 red onion, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp. dried basil
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and thread onto skewers, alternating with vegetables. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Brush the mixture onto the skewers. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
