Why not gives this a go? Its a simple twist on the classic Shepard's Pie, I found with using the sweet potato instead of regular potato it adds more flavour with out using the ingredients that some if the best mashed potatoes use, such as cream etc. with this meal serving 4 people it only totals to a small 143 calories which is great for us people trying to stick to a certain calorie limit, or not. Who said the word "diet" had to be mean? Lol try it before you judge healthy meals again
