Having a bottomless appetite, my life has been characterized by great “bellyfuls” and months of diet. The diet by its nature should be temporary instead for me it is seamless.
One of the suggested ways to maintain a healthy weight is to change the everyday “diet”: it seems easy! But how? Cooking low-calorie dishes.
Gratinated baked anchovies do not have more than 250 calories per Serving and therefore are a good and nutritious meal.

Tips to ensure the success of the dish:

- Anchovies should not be cooked for too long or they will dry out becoming crumbly.
