This is my first post ever, I've just started "THE DIET" but the dinner I made tonight was so good, I decided to brave the forum. Now.. this is NOT under 300, but it could be if you omitted the steak. Honestly, it was the best meal and I finally felt like I had had enough to eat at dinner -- and I have been really hungry Hope this is helpful to somebody!

Steak & Shrimp Stiry Fry

---

Frozen Vegetables - Asian Medley, 1 Cup 50
Extra Virgin Olive Oil - ¼ tbsp 30
Beef - Sirloin Steak - Lean Only, Grilled, 3 oz 158
Shrimp - 6 medium 38 (I used frozen)
Minute Rice - White Rice ½ cup cooked 100
Kikkoman - Teriaki Sauce, 1 Tbsp 15
Coffee With Skim Milk (3tb) - Brewed @ Home, 8 oz 17 0

Total Calories: 408
Without Steak: 250

Next time I would omit the Teriaki sauce because of the really high sodium content.
This would have been good w/o the rice too.
Good way to use leftover steak b/c you couldn't justify eating the whole thing the night before

We had shish-ke-bobs on the grill tonight. I used beef and alot of fresh veggies, mushrooms, red & yellow peppers, onions, zuchin, tomatoes and they were amazing. Quite low cal and could be even more so by using chicken. I brushed them with a little Chipotle Pomegranate Sauce.......yummy.

This recipe sounds amazing, I was just wondering if the calorie count you listed was for 1 kabob?
Maple Glazed Pork and Apple Kebabs.

Need:
2-3 Mac apples
3 tbsp pure maple syrup
12oz of centre cut pork loin de-fatted
Bamboo skewers.

Cut the pork into approx 1inch cubes.
Add the pork to 2 tbsp of maple sugar in a bowl, coat them and let them sit for a half an hour or so or overnight.
Cut your apples into cubes as well.
Put on skewers alternating apple and pork. (1.5 oz of pork each skewer approx.) - will make about 8
Place skewers on a broiling pan or baking sheet.
Dilute 1 tbsp of maple syrup with approx 1 tsp of water.
Baste each skewer.

Cook at 350 until cooked through, approx 15 minutes.

And then add a nice spinach salad with blueberries, raspberries and some cut up clementines and a handfull of walnuts! Done!

I usually just broil some chicken or pork (3 oz is between 125 and 150 calories usually), have 2 veg as a side, and a small 1/2 cup serving of mixed rice (brown rice and wild rice usually, but sometimes I'll buy the pretty mixed rice). It's always under 300 calories.

Other meats I do... Veal sometimes (usually pan seared), with spaghetti sauce poured over (I'll do a small serving of pasta with this instead of rice). I like to pan sear tuna. Shrimp is low calorie10 medium sized is around 100 calories I think. I'll bake fish in foil packets with veggies and quinoa. Mahi Mahi is very good poached in a pan with veggies softened in 1/4 cup of lite italian dressing and served over quinoa or rice.

With my leftovers... I usually have lunch the next day. Leftover pork and chicken get turned into a skillet meal with carmelized cabbage and onions. Or the chicken gets turned into a skillet meal with black beans, colored peppers, onions, spinach and tomatoes (lots of chipolte and cayenne pepper mmmm).

I go for easy most days, because many times, I'm cooking two meals, one for me and one for the rest of the family. I have allergies that I work around, they can eat whatever.

My diary is open, if you want to look. It hasn't been that solid over this past weekend, but generally I'm faithful about filling it out.

Is there any way to delete the older bumps and clean up this thread to make it more readable?

I agree. There should be an easier system so that you wouldn't have to look through the whole thing to find a recipe. I'm copying and pasting into a word document so that I can just refer to it and if you post you're at the very last page. Seems to me it would be better if the last person to post would be the first person to be seen.

You should try kangaroo meat instead of beef or lamb. Kangaroo mice has about 130 calories in a 125g serving, and almost 90% of the calories are from the protein! I love to have kangaroo mince with tacos (although i dont eat the taco shells, just the salad and mince). But if you substitue your regular red meat for kangaroo you can still have your steak and veg and not worry too much about the calories.
