Two bean tacos in hard shells.

Go without cheese but have avocado, lettuce, tomatoes and black beans (not refried). Top with green salsa and YUM!

It's too late to make this now, but another day. Put 3 chicken breasts in a crockpot with a can of corn (drained), a can of black beans (drained) and a jar of salsa. That's it. Awesome!

Check out Hungry Girl's "3-ingredient" shepherd's pie. When I make it I add a lot more spices and seasonings to all the ingredients. I add some onion powder, gralic powder and cayenne to the crumbles, some Cajun spice to the veggies and then a a touch of chili powder or seasoning salt to the mashed potatoes, depending on how spicy I want it that night. Obviously I like spice, but you can add whatever spices and seasonings you want.

Also, after baking it in the oven for the recommended time, I add a serving size worth of Weight Watchers Double Cheddar cheese sprinkled all over the top and put it under the broiler until it's golden and crispy.

But when you make it in an 8x8 baking pan, with the addition of the cheese and spices, you can have an entire quarter of the pan for about 240 calories. And you get a protein, veggies and your starch in that one easy serving. The hubby loves it and loves that he can have half a pan for only 480 calories. lol I usually eat 1/4 of the pan for dinner and then pack up my other 1/4 to take for lunch the next day.

I go for the eggs (whites) and veggies OR........FISH TACOS! If you use a light Flatouts (90 cal) you can make two by cutting in half! I add coleslaw mix, chopped jicama, raw jalapeno sliced very thin, and then my dressing of choice. Sometimes I go for light honey mustard, sometimes tarter sauce and sometimes coleslaw dressing. It is crunchy and cool all in one! Top it off with a squeeze of lime for that last flavor kick.

Two packs of low-sodium tuna (140cals) 2tbsp light olive oil mayo (70 cal) diced onion/celery to taste (adds cals, but no more than 20) salt and pepper to taste. Then I use a head of romaine, using the leaves (about 150g) as boats for the tuna! Crunchy and delicious and about 250 cals. My 8yo declared it was awesome and at similar (salmon, 1 pack only, less mayo, no celery or onions, but still on romaine boats) as the main part of her lunch today.
