Whats everybody having for dinner?

I like to pre-plan my days (less chance of slip-ups) so this is what I am having copied from my food diary:

High Liner - Salmon, 1/4 pack (100g)
Organic Brown Rice - Brown Rice, 0.5 cup
Spinach - Raw, 1 cup
Bertolli - Classico Olive Oil, 4.95 ml
Omega Nutrition - Apple Cider Vinegar, 7.5 ml
Generic - Almond - Raw, 10 almond
Grapefruit juice - Pink, raw, 1 cup
Carbonated Water - 1 can

For a total of : 433 calories, 16 grams fat, 50 carbs, 25 protein, 17 iron, 3 fibre

    I usually pre-plan everything, but today is my evening class. So I will probably get a healthy sandwich from a cafe.

    Today is my evening class too! What are you taking? I'm working on my Accounting Certificate, so tonight is Financial Accounting II. Luckily my husband is home to make me dinner tonight or I would be eating something quick too.

    SUSHI tonight :)
    Very excited.
    I LOVE Edamame and tuna, salmon and octopus sashimi. Most raw assortments are quite low in calories, until you get into oily fishies like makerel and eel.
    I can usually eat a very satisfying sushi dinner for less than 600 cal.
    :love:

    I have "business for non-majors". It's a great class with 3 modules: org theory, marketing, & finance. At least we get a 20 min break to eat :happy:

    Unfortunately I very rarely am able to preplan our dinner's:tongue: (saying that I have taken a pheasant out of the freezer for dinner tomorrow):happy: roasted pheasant yummmy.

    We had Lamb steaks, almost :blushing: dry fried with mushrooms, a small mixed salad with olive oil and balsalmic vinegar , baked potato and philedelphia light.
    It was a lovely filling meal :drinker: and all for under 620 calories :bigsmile: yeah space for pudding :laugh:

    I had a hard time deciding because I have an exam today and then straight to work so I really had to make it in advance since I hate buying fast food or something like it. My dinner is:

    1 maple lodge farm teriyaki chicken breast
    1 package of green giant garden medley vegetables
    1 package of green giant steamed broccoli and carrots

    That sounds good - how do you make the chicken? I just took some boneless skinless thighs out of the freezer!

    1 clove garlic
    1/2 t salt
    1 t grated lemon zest
    2 T lemon juice
    2 t olive oil
    2 t chopped fresh herbs of your choice
    1/4 t pepper
    2 chicken thighs
    fresh veg of your choice ( I am using butternut squash and green beans, the recipe I got this from uses 1 sweet potato and 1/2 bunch asparagus)

    Preheat oven to 450. Coat baking sheet with nonstick spray.
    Chop garlic, sprinkle with salt and use the side of your knife to mash into a paste. Transfer to bowl and stir in lemom zest, oil, lemon juice, hebs and pepper. Add chicken thighs and sweet potato slices (if using that) and toss to coat.
    Place on baking sheet in one layer. Scrape any mixture in bowl over top, cover with foil and roast e0 minutes. Uncover, add other veggies and roast another 10 minutes, or until chicken is done.

    This is really good, and quick to make...maybe about 30 minutes total.

    2 wholemeal pitta breads
    20g mature cheddar
    20g wafer thin ham
    1 tablespoon tomato puree
    1 large mushroom
    Heavy dusting of oregano
    YUM!!!

    You can cut calories and fat down by using half fat cheese but I didn't have any left.
