Why This Vegetable Casserole Helps With Weight Loss
1. Low in Calories but High in Volume
Vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, peppers, and cherry tomatoes are naturally low in calories.
You can enjoy a large portion without overeating — perfect for creating a calorie deficit.

This casserole includes:
- Broccoli — rich in vitamin C, calcium, and antioxidants
- Bell peppers — high in vitamins A and B6
- Tomatoes — full of lycopene for heart health

These nutrients support metabolism and overall wellness.
4. Light, Protein-Boosted Sauce
