    A serving of lean protein (chicken or fish) with lots of steamed veggies. I consider 250 just a large snack lol.

    I have a recipe that is 258 calories and is very filling, just not sure how to share other than cutting and pasting.

    My spicy veggie wrap:

    1/5 of a container of firm tofu
    2oz of ground hamburger style veggie protein
    2 oz of sliced baby portabella mushrooms
    3oz of broccoli slaw
    1 Flax & Oat Bran Pita Bread or whole wheat wrap (add 40 calories if using wrap)
    1 t margarine
    1 t Sriracha sauce or your favorite hot sauce to taste.

    Melt the margarine in a saute pan and get it hot. Add all the ingredients up until the Pita bread/wrap. Cook the vegetables, protein, and tofu until a light golden brown. Add in your hot sauce and mix well. Let cook an additional 30 seconds and serve in the pita or wrap.
    ENJOY!

    Progresso Light Soups - the whole can is 160 calories plus a toasted bagel thin for 110 - 270 calories and very filling.
    Lean Cuisine makes several that are 250 calories

    I make Bagel Pizzas. Plain Bagel Thin with Pizza Sauce, 4 Turkey Pepperonis on each and Reduced Fat Cheese - each - 109 calories so two 218

    Meat Pizza - (made with lean ground turkey, egg whites, salsa, turkey pepperoni and reduced fat cheese and jalapenos) - Yummy and 275 per serving.

    ENJOY! Yvonne :flowerforyou:
