The chilli was bulked out with finely diced carrot and celery. Turkey mince is very low in calories (this was 7& fat so still plenty of flavour). The chilli was 196 calories.
Stir fried cabbage and leek = 74 cals replaced some of the rice. It also enables you to get more of your vegetable portions in.
Just 40g of brown rice = 140 cals.
20g soured cream = 38 cals (no low fat or reduced fat – the real thing!).
