steel cut oats (oatmeal) 150 calories per 1/2 cup dry. Add on an apple for 60 and maybe a protein shake or something. Thats just under 350:)

The 35 calorie wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese with 2 slices of sara lee 45 calorie wheat bread makes a killer grilled/toasted cheese sandwich. If you make the grilled cheese version, you can use non-stick canola cooking spray or a light oleo spread and it would probably be less than 150 calories. Add some grapes or grapefruit or apple or even apple sauce and you would still be way under 350.

i don't have a photo but i found this recipe in my "clean eating" magazine a couple of months ago and i have made it a couple of times on the weekend and it is wonderful!

Blueberry Cheese-cake stuffed french toast casserole

spray 9 by 13 pan and line with whole wheat bread slices

in food processor make filling...
1 c low fat ricotta (i used cottage cheese because that is what i had and it was fine)
1/2 c neufchatel cheese
1 lg egg
2 T brown sugar or evap can juice

process until smooth and spread over bread

top with 1 3/4 fresh blueberries

top with more bread slices

in another bowl...
mix 3 lg eggs, 1 T brown sugar, 2 egg whites, i cup skim milk, 2 t vanilla, 1 t cinnamon, 1/4 t salt and pour over the bread

put 1/4 c unsalted almonds slices in a baggie and add 2 T brown sugar. crush with rolling pin and sprinkle on top

cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 min, uncover and bake for another 15 min or so.

with the leftover blueberries i made a blueberry sauce by simmering in just a little bit of orange juice til it was reduced down and spooned a lttle on top.

it says 285 cal for 3'by 4' slice but you can have a little bigger than that because the recipe called for 13-14 slices of bread and i only used 12

This is really to prepare:

2 grapes and a glass of water.

Silly. You forgot the pictures for the recipe.

Here they are.

TDGee

Place a raw egg in a pan.
Add enough water to the pan to cover the egg.
Add enough heat to the bottom of the pan to boil the water.
Let the egg remain in the boiling water for 6-10 minutes.
Remove the egg from the pan.
Peel the egg.
Eat the egg.
Yields one serving, approximately 75 calories.

Or.
Go to Denny's.

wow im sure that took more time than ACTUALLY providing useful information. If I wanted to search for something I would have done it. A recommendation for a peer is far more valuable than advertisements from a generic search engine. SO how about this next time... http://tinyurl.com/yec5txt

I really like www.skinnytaste.com. Lots of the recipes are already in the database here. My family has enjoyed the Sante Fe chicken, carnitas, lasagna roll-ups, and several soups.

. Good for you! I've noticed people being more catty in recent days than when I first got on here. I know people like to have a sense of humor, but if someone is asking for help or advice, we need to give it. Support is basically the whole point of these forums. Why cut someone down just so you can amuse yourself? Especially when its a decent question. I can google with the best of them, but I've gotten some of my best meal ideas from people of this site. Again, I know people like to joke and everything, but some things definitely seems unnecessarily catty to me.

Except my link did provide exactly what the OP requested.

Someone needs a sandwich.

I have tried a couple recipes from skinnytaste.com & they were great, particularly the Healthy Chicken Nuggets & Chicken Cordon Bleu. My whole family will eat them, even the 16yo.

hmoss619

Yea, with an unrequested dose of sarcasm. And you just proved my point again

Where was the sarcasm? The OP asked for suggestions for recipes. She got what she asked for.

What is the difference between http://tinyurl.com/3kvy9n8 and people posting skinnytaste.com? Both are just links on the internet, the only difference being that one is a specific website and the other is a search engine that returns numerous websites.

There are many forms of humor, why attack someone? Why not let it go? I didn't see anyone go after the grape and water comment.
Seems like there is more than one bad outlook in this really great topic!

toasted whole wheat english muffins (100 calories) with 1 wedge Laughing Cow cheese and 2 pcs. Canadian Bacon. yummy! I love this.

It came across sarcastic to me "I've got a great site for you!", and it obviously come across that way to the original poster as well. Like she said, she is entirely capable of googling, she was asking her peers on here for help. It didn't seem a sincere effort to help , but I could be wrong. There were also several other posts that clearly were not taking the op seriously and provided no help. I was also taking the opportunity to post about the cattiness trend I have seen in general on this site recently. You know, posting a graphic telling the original poster she had no sense of humor..just seems unnecessary. I don't come to this site for entertainment, I come to gain knowledge to aid my weight loss battle.

hmoss619

I didn't attack anyone, I just expressed support for the original poster in case SHE was feeling attacked. I don't want anyone to feel like they can't ask any question they want and get support. And after that I was defending my position. But this convo IS now contributing to the negativity..so I'm done posting..I hope everyone has a great night! Gonna go eat my sandwich now

And is complaining about what other people post helping you gain knowledge to aid your weight loss battle? :flowerforyou:

The OP's question came across as lazy to me. If she is not going to put forth any effort to actually find recipes (and pictures of food herself) than why should everyone else be expected to? MrsCon was not being catty, she was showing the OP a place where she can find what she is looking for. The forum is a great place to find answers to questions people have that they are unable to find elsewhere and share personal opinions. OP's request is neither of those.

Actually, you will get more ideas from a quick Google search, and it will be faster. No need to overreact.
