Hello!

I just really really enjoyed 2 of my low-cal meals today and wanted to share and learn about other people's fav things to repeat in their menu!

Breakfast...
plain nonfat greek yogurt (I like Greek Gods brand)
1 tbsp PB
1 tbsp jelly
small handful of honey roasted peanuts...

nummy and doesn't taste low fat! and I love PB&J anything ;)
*I also like plain greek yogurt with honey and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice ;)

Dinner... (2nd time this week)
Great Harvest Bread Company Nine Grain bread slice toasted
1/2 Avacado mashed, with a little salt
6 slices of deli ham (I had honey or brown sugar)
1 small persian cucumber
tomatoes
topped with more salt/pepper..I like seasoning!

both meals are around 300 calories, delish, and make me enjoy my "diet" ;)

Can't wait to hear yours!

    Here are my go to meals, yes they are all carbs but that happens to be my favorite kinds of food. They aren't that low cal either.

    Breakfast:
    1 bowl of grape nuts cereal served hot with 2 tsp of brown sugar and 1 glass of 1% milk. (340 cal)

    Lunch:
    1 hoagie roll with a slice of cheddar cheese for a cheese sandwich (290 cal)

    Dinner:
    spinach and cheese ravioli with tomato sauce (410 cal)

    All together it is 1040 cal

    I also love to eat fruit and plain greek yogurt with jam mixed in :)

    Lunch:
    Sliced Boar's Head ham and roasted turkey, fried a little in a pan to heat it and give it some smokey flavor.
    Whole wheat wrap
    One THINLY sliced Boar's Head lacey swiss
    Tomato
    Lettuce
    Two slices of avocado, cucumber, or sauteed zucchini (usually leftover from a dinner)
    Hummus instead of mayo
    Grey Poupon
    Salt and pepper
    Around 350 calories.

    Dinner:
    Two boneless skinless thighs, pan sauteed with onion, garlic, saffron, paprika, white wine
    One cup of Vigo yellow rice cooked with Goya black beans (other brands have more cals) peas and one diced rep pepper
    600 calories

    Pesto-roasted chicken
    Mashed cauliflower with McCormick's brown gravy mix
    Roasted zucchini
    Around 500 calories.

    Half pound of shrimp, sauteed with onion, garlic, white wine, and lemon
    One cup of basmati rice

    Not at your 350 cal level, but each of those dinners have less calories that one McDonald's cheeseburger.
