Miso Soup with Tofu and Wakame (Authentic Japanese Recipe)

Viral Cucumber Salad (TikTok)
The smashed cucumber salad that took TikTok by storm: cucumbers are smashed to create craggy, sauce-trapping pieces, then dressed with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and chilli oil for a cool, crunchy, bold side dish ready in under 15 minutes.
Gazpacho (Cold Spanish Tomato Soup — No Cook Recipe)
Spain's iconic cold tomato soup: a smooth, intensely flavoured blend of ripe tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar. No cooking required — just blending, chilling, and serving. The perfect summer soup.
About Healthy Recipes — Under 400 Calories
Eating well doesn't require calorie counting apps, restrictive rules, or bland food. It mostly comes down to cooking real ingredients — vegetables, lean proteins, legumes, whole grains — without overcomplicating things. Meals that are genuinely filling tend to be naturally lower in calories: a chickpea curry, a simple fish dish, a grain bowl with good seasoning.
Every recipe on this page comes in at 400 calories or under per serving. They span a range of cuisines and prep times, so keeping your meals calorie-conscious doesn't mean eating the same thing every week. Whether you're managing your weight, recovering from a heavy stretch, or simply want lighter meals that still satisfy, you'll find solid options here. All recipes are fully tested and include step-by-step instructions.
