I am a snacker, and eat most of my calories during the day, and would like some lower calorie dinner ideas. Or, higher calories dinner ideas but more food involved....lol.

    Hi I usually do 4 oz. baked chicken, mostly with salad filled with all kinds of raw veggies, usually oz of Feta cheese(my favorite) , I do a steamed veggie or a very small side of brown rice, and lite dressing(under 80 calories).

    I usually alternate between baked fish like Salmon, Talipia, or Orange Roughy. Love ground Turkey and make 3-4 OZ burgers loaded with tones of lettuce, tomatoes etc.

    I usually eat the same things just swith up the veggie sides and starcy foods. Feel free to take a look at my food diary to see if it will give you any ideas. I also try to look at www.allrecipies.com for low calorie meal ideas. I got a spanich stuffed chicken breast recipie off of there that was really good.

    Good luck!

    Low calorie dinner Ideas.

    4 oz tyson chicken breast tenderlions grilled. 100 calories
    1/3 to one cup steamed veggies (no butter) 30-60 calories depending on what kind you eat
    One serving of fruit. Strawberries are yummy and very low in calories. i think 6 is about 30 calories give or take a little depending on the size
    3/4 cup steamed white rice 160 calories

    Total:
    320-350

    Since I am on hcg right now I cant have the rice so with out the rice its 160-190 calories and its still filling.


    I also like making single serving soups
    4 oz of chicken breast
    1 cup mixed veggies frozen or canned
    2 chicken bouilion cubes
    2 cups water
    I boil it all together for about 20 min until chicken in done. its about 160 calories
