Broccoli Chowder with Corn and Bacon



When I made it, it came out to be 282 calories per serving and was super yummy.

Recipe please!!

lithezebra

Chopped cucumber, tomato, and red bell pepper with baba ganoush, a spoonful of yogurt, and lean ground meat cooked with some garlic and salt.

The reality is that some of us need low calorie meals, because we're small, female, and have to spend part of our day sitting at a desk.

eating 300 calories for a meal is absolutely ridiculous...

You need to pick better options......8 oz lemon pepper tilapia, 2 cups cooked spinach, and 1 cup cooked cauliflower around 330 calories. I only made it half way through this meal and I was full so I guess my 165 calorie meal of PURE nutrtion is just absolutely ridiculous HA! PPL really should research stuff before they post

Yeah, that comment is absolutely ridiculous. Most of my meals end up being around 300 calories without me even intending for them to be. Some of my favorites are: tacos, stir fries with rice or noodles, soup with bread, risottos, and vegetable-based casseroles or pasta dishes.

Thanks for this thread! I like having lots of meals a day, many of my "meals" in my diary consist of two meals, some hours apart. This will be very useful.

Oh, mine are:
- a bowl of chili (white bean and chicken or red bean w/ground meat or veggie chili)
- salmon on top of lettuce with tomatoes and a couple of crumbled up triscuits
- peanut butter (1 tbsp) and banana on a piece of whole wheat bread

If I eat a 750+ calorie meal, I feel like complete **** afterwards. I could not imagine "fasting" for like 8 hrs and then gorging myself with an 750+ calorie meal.. talk about no energy. I prefer smaller meals b/c by the time your energy level is getting low.. its time for another 300 cal. meal. Keeps me going all day!

my favorite is either a mission tortilla w/ pb and banana or a naked protein smoothie!! YUM! Also a baked sweet potato with sugar free caramel drizzled on top.. omg so good! And under 300 cals

Recipe please!

If this is meant for me here it is.....

1 lemon
black pepper
Frozen Tilapia filets (I buy the indiv. wrapped ones because I am solo)
Fresh Spinach
Fresh Cauliflower

Slice lemon in semi thick slices, squeeze the ends of lemon on your baking pan/pie dish (I hate to waste anything)
Preheat oven to 425
Rinse thawed Tilapia and place on pan/pie dish
Squeeze lemon slices on all the filets. Pepper filets. Place lemons slices on the filets. Add little scoops of minced garlic (optional) on top of lemons.
Cover with foil.poke some vents and throw in oven (cook to preference)
Spinach is easy...boil it to your preferred texture. I add minced garlic and pepper to boil. Drain almost all water out ( I add very finely chopped onion to it and a little bit of lemon juice and let it simmer for a few more minutes I like the flavor and crunch in the spinach)
Boil the cauliflower (garlic optional as well)
I really watch my sodium intake so sometime I will season the plated cauliflower with Badia all seasoning only 60mg sodium per 1/4 tsp I will use like 4 servings of it .
Also you can forget the lemon pepper and just season the fish with Badia for a change up. Badia is def the bomb and a life saver for me as far as flavor it makes everything come alive. I never add it too food unless it is plated so to not dilute the flavor.

If you wanted to add more to this you can have a side salad depending on what RDI you are trying to reach you can use the salad as the kicker.

I just had 2 eggs over easy with a little salsa on the side, an applesauce cup, and a Sargento provolone/mozerella stick and that was 305 calories. I'm surprisingly full!

Thank you for sharing the recipe, very nice and helpful.

asian lettuce wraps

I'm actually having it for dinner!

You'll need:

1 lb ground chicken, turkey or very lean beef
1 tin water chestnuts, diced and drained
1 cup diced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger or ginger paste
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions
3 tsp hoisin or stir-fry sauce
Siracha hot sauce to taste
small handful peanuts (about 20 nuts)

6 Boston Bibb lettuce leaves

Spray pan w/ cooking spray and cook meat almost all the way through. Add all ingredients except peanuts and lettuce leaves and cook on med- high till onions are transparent , scallions are slightly wilted and meat is cooked through. Remove from heat, add peanuts, stir and let cool slightly. When slightly cool, arrange lettuce leaves on plate and divide meat mixture evenly among leaves. Drizzle on more siracha if you like!

Serves 3 at 3 300-320 calories per serving, depending on which meat you use!

Small, female, with a desk job, and I like to have snacks during the day. Three meals that average around 300 calories each, plus a couple of 100 calorie snacks, is perfect for me.

Most of the time, my snacks and meals are all about the same calories. 250-350 per meal or eating time. I'm not set on that, and things adjust here and there but having that mind set helps me stay on track for the day. I eat 1800 calories a day.

When I make a sandwich, I load it with veggies. Yesterday, my lunch was an olive oil wrap, with a quarter of an avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, a slice of chicken, cheese and spinach. Yum! Then a few hours later (for a snack) I had a salad with avocado, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and balsamic vinaigrette. Each "meal" came to about 300 calories. Together they came to 612 calories. I personally can't eat that in one sitting, I NEED to spread it out into two meals or a meal and a snack.


Another snack of mine, was pasta and alfredo sauce - 350 calories.

Lately I've been eating a lot of quesadillas. Last night I had one with avocado, cheese and tomatoes. It came in at 390 calories. Mostly because I used more cheese than I normally do, it was the end of the bag and I didn't want to put back half a serving. Otherwise, it would have been 350 calories. I couldn't even finish the whole thing.

You could make a random skinless chicken soup with leeks, potatoes, onion's, carrots, swede, hint of chili flakes, thyme etc etc. Soups are great because they are quite filling. Make loads of it, store some in a freezer so when the time arises again when that 300 cal meal comes up (and it will), you could say 'oh yes, my trustee soup in the freezer'!

Bowl of turkey chili made with 99/1 ground turkey, kidney beans, tomatoes, bell peppers (1.5 cups), and 2 tbsp of light sour cream.

That being said, I guess I am often doing IF during the week, as I have two real meals and coffee, and I frequently have meals at 750 or even more. The "eat six small meals" doesn't work for me. I'm usually one medium, one big, for a total of 1500 or so.

Stealing this sounds amazing! TY TY TY

A cup of black beans with the liquid (heated on the stove), a spoonful of salsa, a spoonful of sour cream, and shredded cheese on top. Super quick and filling black bean stew!
