I do well finding 400 -500 calorie meals/ snack allowances, but if I want to skip the snacks and eat low for lunch to save for a special restaurant or home cooked meal I am at a loss for idea's. Share yours to help cure this "dieters block".

A roast is my favourite, 6oz meat, 100g potatoes, veg and two yorkshire puds comes to approx 800 cals or below.

I was going to say some type of steak or seafood but seriously, this wins

Definitely Chipotle or a couple slices of cheese pizza.

10 ounces of rib eye

dsjohndrow

I eat 3/400 and a couple of snacks. Eating and 800 calorie meal makes i hard to get back on track. But if I do, it prime rib!

12" subway sub with chicken breast and bacon

Some sort of taco dish with full fat cheese and sour cream

Lasagna with garlic bread and a side salad

Oven fried chicken breast with baked potato and sour cream

Or have a smaller meal and add a 300 cal dessert

My daugher loves Chick-fil-a so an 800 calorie meal for me would probably be a Chicken sandwhich with mayo and waffle fries.

Steak, baked potato with butter and corn on the cob for me.

An 800 calorie meal.. I wouldn't say any of my meals have been that large ever, because I eat tons of small meals throughout the day, but if it WERE.. then I'd probably say a 4 Berry Sundae from Sam's, a small 8-12 oz. soft drink, and a 6 inch turkey on wheat, full of lots of onions from Subway...

But that's over 800 calories.. See ^ not ideal, and I'd regret eating all that too hahaha.

I just blow it out of the water and go for a Steak N Shake burger and Double Chocolate milkshake.

Mine would probably be the dinner I had tonight. BBQ ribeye and grilled asparagus with goat cheese and balsamic. omg... so good.

I can get 2 servings whole wheat spaghetti, 10 turkey meatballs, sauce, and Parmesan for 755 calories. I do it often, it's spaghetti and meatball diet!

aquarabbit

A giant steak with lots of Lawrys and Worshtershire and the cheap, fatty Velveeta Shells and Cheese.

Asparagus with goats cheese sounds so good.

12" Subway ham & cheese with bag of baked ruffles cheddar & sour cream
120 (ruffles) + 580 (ham) + 80 (cheese) - 780cals

For 900 a Chicken Pizziola Melt is the most filing thing on the planet (450/half, including cheese.)

For home... usually 4-8oz of chicken, buffalo sauce, greek yogurt (nee sour cream), butter, and sauteed veggies in a wrap.

8.5oz of sirloin (550cal), small potato, baked (120), 1tbsp margarin (50), 2tbsp greek yogurt (20)... 740. That's slightly more than 3/4th a pound of food. Tastes great too.

My eldest sons favorite: curried chick peas. 310 for the can, plus onions, various veggies, butter, milk, yogurt or sour cream... ends up being about 800 for the pan which even without rice ends up being completely filling.

I mix together a drained can of garbanzo beans (420 cal), drained can of tuna (150 cal), and homemade dressing of extra virgin olive oil (2T, 240 cal), vinegar (0 cal), garlic powder, and paprika, for a total of 810 calories. Very filling and tasty, with 61g protein, 32g fat, 70g carbs, and 675mg sodium (mostly from the beans; my tuna is no salt added). Prep time is about 5 minutes.

If you like garbanzo's have you ever tried roasted garbanzos? They make a killer snack... (you can use less than half the oil this recipe recommends with no harm to the flavor.) Especially good with garam masala or curry powder as a spice too.

Not my favourite meal, but last night I found myself in the position of having about 800 calories available for my evening meal. I had baked, breaded chicken, mashed potates, sweetcorn, gravy and salad, then strawberries, meringue, chantilly cream, quark and fruit compote. I almost never have a dessert so it was fun!
