What to make for girls night where everyone is on diets?
I also posted on the Diet board but I'm going to a friend's house tomorrow and all 5 of us are trying to lose weight and eat healthier. What would be filling, tasty but not fattening? Apps or main meal suggestions welcome! TIA!

How about grilled chicken breast (you can serve cold) topped with chopped tomato and basil? You can drizzle balsamic reduction on top.
Or you can use the chicken to make chicken fajitas or wraps with whole wheat tortillas, onions, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini, avocado, cilantro, lime.... Very satisfying and fun!

I love a good chicken kebab (marinate the chicken in yogurt w/ dill) and then as a side, quinoa salad (you can make it like a pasta salad, but just use qunioa).
You can also make a really yummy greek salad + grilled chicken.

What about a chopped salad bar? You guys can spend some time each cutting up veggies so you're working for your food. I find that when I have to spend a long time preparing my food, I eat less. Then you could assemble your own salads. You could even make really good home made salad dressings! There are a ton of great healthy recipes for them!
Desserts - a can of diet soda mixed with a box of cake mix makes a delicious, yet not TERRIBLE for you dessert!

How about ST greek turkey meatballs with tzatziki? You can serve with a greek salad and maybe ww pita (not sure if the pita is a no no). You could also do a mediteranian quinoa salad with it. Apps could be hummus or white bean dip with veggies.

I was going to suggest some kind of fajitas or wraps as well! I lived on that stuff when I was dieting for my wedding and I lost so much weight. I got it all back now though!

Roasted Veggies - so easy and so delicious!
You can also make a whole wheat pasta salad with a little oil and balsamic vinegar and mix ins of your choice.
Maybe for a small indulgence, grilled chicken parm. Use grilled chicken, make your own tomato sauce and use reduced fat or fat free cheese on top. I love it!

This sounds amazing! I would also put shredded cheese out, but not the whole bag so that people wouldn't feel tempted to overdo it.

I will def use some of these ideas in the future but tonight we went with:
-a veggie platter
-mango and avocado salsa
-shredded chicken & black beans (crockpot)
I brought small tortillas and lettuce to make lettuce wraps. Worked out great!
Oh and some yummy wine
