    You could take a brisk jog around the neighborhood and earn some extra calories. :)

    Or, make yourself a salad with baby spinach, diced peppers, drained canned tuna, and a little dressing.

    Chicken breast. 4oz is almost exactly what you have left. Flavor with some no-salt seasoning, and you're good to go!

    Try a cup of spinach or 2 and some egg whites with whatever other veggies you got in the fridge and top with salsa instead of dressing! A little of that avocado won't hurt.

    i can't take a jog as i had abdominal surgery 3 weeks ago, but i did go for a 3 mile walk already. :)

    I agree with cacrat. My quick easy protein is always a grilled chicken breast. Sprinkle some spices on it first, or stuff it with some cheese and/or some spinach, and/or wrap it in a slice of bacon... whatever you have on hand.

    My go to high protein low cal meal is sauteed mushrooms and chicken breast. You can have 8 oz of mushrooms for just over 50 calories!

    i had chicken for lunch, so i checked the package of bacon and i could have 4 slices for 70 calories, which is the same as 2 ounces of tuna. (we use microwave bacon for convenience.) i crumbled the bacon over 4 cups of spinach and added tomatoes and mushrooms. i forgot about the salsa as a dressing in between the computer and fridge (hello ginko biloba, i think it's time we became friends) so i poured on some lemon juice and pepper. i also had one cup of steamed cauliflower and broccoli.

    thanks for all the ideas. i was *this close* to having an egg white omelet with veggies.
