Dinner Ideas Under 400 calories?

Jadesfattorment

We need a thread to turn to when we don't have many calories left so I just wonder if anyone has dinner ideas that are filling and tasty for under 400 or so calories?

Thanks for your time!

I buy the frozen cod fillets. They are 140 calories. I will make it with different veggies and sauces. I think it is very good. My husband wont eat it though.
Grilled chicken salad is always a good light meal.
Shrimp stir fry.
A can of light soup and a piece of toast.

am I any help?

Shrimp or Chicken Fajitas- shrimp or chicken, red & green bell pepper, onion taco seasoning, little bit of evoo, Mission Carb Balance Tortillas, salsa (I leave out sour cream, guacamole and cheese) 2 Fajitas is about 360 cal.

Chicken Stir Fry- Chicken Breast, 1 bag of broccoli slaw, snow peas, stir fry sauce, low sodium soy sauce (optional). One serving is about 200 cal.

I guess it depends on HOW you cook these, but they are my 2 new go to meals. They are so good.

Chicken breast with a side of veggies and a roll. Or my favorite go to meal (I love breakfast food for dinner though) is 3 scrambled eggs with cheese and turkey mixed in, that is 380 calories. You could always add veggies in that as well.

There are loads of different soups which are low on calories and are full of nutrition! I usually have a bowl of soup with pork, broth and a lot of different vegetables and a piece of bread. It's usually around 300-400 calories for me
