    Depends on how many calories you have left. There is not a universally right or wrong dinner size or number of calories. I would need more protein myself but you may be going for filling with low calories.

    ETA: If you shock your green beans in ice after cooking they will stay a nicer shade of green. Doesn't change the taste though.

    We'd need to know the calories/macros of the meal.

    Wrong question.
    Are you easily hitting your calorie total per day - not going under, not exceeding?
    Are you eating balanced and varied through the day and from day to day?
    Do you like what you eat, are you happy and energized?

    For whom? (stats, activity level, exercise burn, goal, what else did you eat today)

    if it will keep you satiated i guess.
    looks boring to me, but thats me
    iceburg lettuce has next to no nutritional value. i opt for mixed greens or spinach as my salad base.

    It loos like something I may have and enjoy for lunch - or though personally I would choose fish or egg. Handful of spinach and perhaps a few seeds - but as everyone says, depends on what else you're eating that day.

    How many calories do you need your dinner to be?
    What is everything and what are the amounts? Log the components and find out how many calories.
    It looks pretty low calorie to me... maybe 200- 300?

    I usually eat 400-500 calories for my dinner so this would probably not be for me. Some people eat more and some eat less.
