I take Tuesdays off from the gym, and since I only walk home in the evenings (only exercise I get on days off from Gym) I don't have alot of calories today after a big lunch, to be exact I have around 266...any suggestions for what I could have?

    how about an egg white omelette with some kind of filling (I like low fat cream cheese, spring onions and pepper) with a side of steamed brocolli or other vegetable you like. Not the most exciting but low cal.

    should have said: due to IBS I can't have wheat, dairy or eggs....

    am thinking I'll have a bowl of special k, with rice milk and fruit on top

    oops there goes our 2 ideas then!! How about a vegetarian stir fry it's healthy quick and easy. You could always have that with a small amount of rice.

    Chicken Stir Fry...

    1 Boneless skinless chicken breast
    Broccoli
    Mushrooms
    Celery
    Onion
    Green, red and/or yellow peppers
    2-3 cloves of garlic
    Season to your liking (just be careful of the pre-made packets/bottles, they have hidden calories & lots of sodium)

    I coat the pan & veges with Pam to fry up the chicken with the garlic.... Add broccoli first, then the rest when broccoli is almost done.

    I sometimes use chicken broth & let the veges simmer until done if I don't feel like watching over the pan.

    Most of the calories here are from the chicken... you can have like 2 1/2 cups of this & stay below 250 cals.
