      2 ounces of rigatoni, 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese, 1/4 cup light alfredo sauce from a jar.

      Pasta 210 calories
      Cheese 35 calories
      Alfredo 50 calories

      295 calories for a huge plate.
      Melt the cheese into the sauce
      It only works with rigatoni. Rigatoni has a lot of air in it, and therefore looks bigger on the plate. You eat with your eyes. Nom it slowly with a huge glass of water.

      Last night I sauteed 1 pound asparagus and 1 pound of medium shrimp with some garlic and EVOO and added a medium head of wilted cabbage .. it was pretty good! Low carb and lots of protein!

      It was 6 servings and I had 2 which came in under 250 calories :) Left room for some popcorn while I watched a movie!!

      Again, what alfredo sauce is that low? Even the light ones I know of are like 100 cals per 1/4 cup, and they taste like crap. The alfredo sauce I have is 230 per 1/4 cup...

      250g Minestrone Soup (or any other veggie soup)
      1 grilled turkey breast steak no oil
      1 cup of cucumber slices (don't add any salt because shop bought soups are quite high in sodium)
      and 1 pot of lemon meringue ski mousse (81 cals) if I want a treat.

      All together 329 calories including the mousse :)

      300 calories is a snack.

      Let me know when we're discussing real meals... like 750+ cal ones.

      You are a big help and very supportive.

      sorry, i eat regular meals and snacks, i don't eat big portions, big portion is why people put on weight, ever tried to eat 750 calories of veg, would be extremely hard too do. 750 calories i could eat a whole pizza lol. if you eat 750 tell us what the is and i'll divide it :-D

      loving the positive vibes

      Nope it's this thinking that makes us fat. Calorie dense meals (yes, that means FAT!) eaten only when hungry is what burns off fat (and of course strenght training). I generally eat two meals per day and each one is around 750 cals. Sometimes I eat one meal and it's well over 1000. No, I wouldn't eat 750 calories of veggies because there wouldn't be enough fat and protein to meet my body's requirements. I wasn't meant to graze like a herbivore, so I don't.

      So, no, I don't have any 300 calorie FILLING meal ideas, because it requires nutrients to feel full and satisfied.

      One of my favorites but is probably a little closer to 500 cals given the portion I eat is purdue boneless skinless chicken breast stir fried without oil in asian fortune general tso sauce, and green giant frozen chopped broccoli, served over brown rice. yes you could probably do better with fresher chicken and veggies and mix up your veggies to taste.

      I don't think is a bad idea. If, let's say you had a big lunch and your calorie goal is near the border line, then 300 is reasonable.

      Not everyone can manage to do that and lose. Must be nice. I don't even eat 750 cal meals and I'm pregnant...

      Great idea for a thread. A lot of people like to eat frequently rather than 2 - 3 large meals, so there is some really valuable info here!

      I make a really good stirfry, it comes to about 400 calories, but if you didnt add the sugar and less sauce you could get it down to 300 calories. You can find the receipe in the search, Sarah's Stir Fry. 407 calories per serving. Having this for dinner tonight =)

      Um. I cannot remember. Its got a squarish bottle and a fancy looking sort of logo. Sorry im not brand loyal so basically I just read the back of every alfredo bottle in the store and get the lowest cal kind. It does taste like crap, until you melt in the laughing cow wedge. Oh yeah, and it needs pepper too. Um the cheese is the garlic herb light kind.

      :laugh: I wish I could afford 750+ cal meals. Lucky you!

      Agree! 750 per meal would mean no snacks for me :(
