I make egg-white scrambles on Monday mornings and divide by 5 for the week: steam lots of veggies (red peppers, onion, squash, mushroom, tomatoes, spinach, chard - whatever you have on hand), pour in EggBeaters, sprinkle on a small amount of lite cheddar cheese, cook covered. Eat with salsa.
apple slices with almond butter
ThinkThin bars about 240 calories each
salad mix, smoked salmon, beets (already steamed from Trader Joe's) and Trader Joe's Pear Gorgonzola Vinaigrette0 -
I buy frozen individually wrapped tilapia and other fish. I made some yesterday in salsa and red wine, with instant potatoes and peas and it was about 250 calories. With rice it is under 200 calories. I was lazy and it was quick. Tasted good too.0

I consider these more snacks than meals, but here you go
Parfait my way:
1 Dannon Light & Fit® Carb & Sugar Control 4 oz. Vanilla Yoghurt - 45 calories
3/4 cup Kashi GoLean (original) cereal - 100 calories
A mix of chopped strawberries, blueberries and raspberries mixed together in a cup
Red pepper egg sandwich:
2 slices of red pepper
2 Laughing Cow Lite Blue Cheese wedges spread evenly 35 calories x 2
2 slices of lean ham or turkey 30 calories x 2
2 eggs fried sunny side up 70 calories x 2
For a light lunch and convenience, I love picking up one of the Ready Pac Bistro Salads at our local grocery store. They're anywhere from 210 to 290 calories each. I'm sure you can recreate them at home for a similar nutritional combo:

220 calories, but...quick breakfast is 1 Chobani fat free yogurt with fruit (any kind) and 2 Tablespoons Flax seed meal (mix them)0

Here are a couple of my favorites at or under 200 calories:
- Apple slices with either peanut butter or string cheese
- Salad with olive oil & balsamic with 4 oz grilled chicken
- Steel Cut Oats with Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract and Dark Cherries (frozen unsweetened and let thaw before adding them)
- KIND Bars - Especially the Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew
- 1oz of fresh buffalo Mozzarella cubed with diced fresh tomato drizzled with a little EVOO and balsamic topped with fresh basil and cracked black pepper.0 -
Take some of those prepackaged grilled chicken strips you can buy at the deli counter (or make your own) + add some salsa and some low fat shredded cheese and throw it in the microwave. Eat as is or put it in a tortilla wrap.0

Stuffed cucumber:
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Combine the cucumber mash with diced tomato, some fresh avocado, (optionally add diced lean ham and cubed low fat cheese). Add a dash of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put mixture back into cucumber half.
Egg Salad:
2 hardboiled eggs chopped and mixed with a little bit of relish and 1 tablespoon of greek yogurt. Spread on wheat bread or bagel thins.0 -

My morning normally starts with either 1 serving of Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal (1 serving = 3/4 cup and 100 calories) with 1/2 cup of 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soy Milk (1 serving is 8 oz and 60 calories) or 2 egg whites (17 calories per whites of 1 egg) and 2 pieces of Butterball Turkey Bacon ( 25 calories per slice).
I have replaced all milk intake with the 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soy Milk and no longer eat regular bacon and that alone has helped a lot along with LOTS of fruits and veggies.0 -
Tortilla chips and salsa. I have my own home made salsa that I use. There is a recipe I posted if you search for it.

Yesterday's breakfast was:
