    vege stirfry. miracle noodles with veges and a bit of some manner of low calorie sauce, home made soup - pumpkin, sweet potato etc will keep you full. steamed veges with hummus.

    Something like this ^^

    I make something similar almost every day during the week for lunch. Get some shiritaki noodles (miracle noodles, etc) they are usually sold by tofu and are UH-MAZING! They have virtually NO calories... you can find some that actually have none, I can only ever find the 8oz. pack for 40 cals. But seriously- 40 cals for 1/2lb. of pasta! I 'dry fry' it up which just basically means I toss it around in a pan first to get rid of a lot of the moisture-- then I add a HUGE amount of veggies to it --broccoli, cabbage, mushrooms, onions, carrots, red pepper, snap peas...whatever! By this point you're still under 100 cals. Throw in a tbs. of your favorite sauce, and you can be done! Or...if you need a little protein with it - boneless skinless chicken breast is only 40 cals/ounce. You can easily have a HUGE plate of food for just under 200 cals - noodles, veggies, meat and sauce. It's my go to!! Check the RECIPES section here on MFP-- I uploaded this recipe and photo there- you can see the calorie breakdown. But.. I have to agree with some others- EAT!!!

    It may not for into your calorie goals, but I love turkey 'chili".
    I brown ground turkey, add chili beans, a few other beans, lots of spices, carrot, celery, any other veggies we have on hand, diced tomatoes, some tomato sauce or chicken broth. It's like a veggie stew/turkey chili. VERY filling and so nice on winter days.

    This!!!! Chili is awesome to make on a cold winter day. Low calorie and filling. Throw all the ingredients in a crockpot for the day and you will have enough to last through the week! Plus with it cooking all day, it makes the house smell yummy.

    Chicken is high calorie? Hmmm. Eat egg whites. Complete protein source and not many calories there. Make egg white omelettes with vegetables I guess. I just never thought of chicken as high calorie... :huh:

    I use steam bags to heat sweet potatoes, squash, potatoes, green beans, corn, etc. I will go with any frozen vegetables heated. Warm brown rice and beans. Tea. Popcorn :) I have found that popcorn with cayenne pepper and chili pepper is my new replacement for hot Cheetos yummmm.
