whats everyones 300 calorie, filling, Fav meal?

ClementineGeorg

Any variation of stew (little meat, plenty of veggies, no fat) or chilli bean soup (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/02/turkey-chili-taco-soup.html) can be made to have around 300 calorie... and be filling. I just grab any recipie and make it lighter.

A salad with lots a veggies and 2 egg, or grilled chicken or beef... with 2 full tablespoons of low fat greek yoghurt as dressing.

For the record, I practice IF *most* of the time. Snacking just encourages binging for me. I'd rather just let myself eat a lot when I'm most hungry, after my workouts in the evening. Its easiest for me that way since I am usually very busy at work and below ground most of the day, I don't even really think about food that often unless I'm in an office with the 6lb bag of gummy worms and trail mix staring me down.

As much of any salad stuffs as you can add to a couple of veggie sausages. Works for me.

Just about any dinner we make! :drinker: We have a lot of Weight Watchers cookbooks and eating light cookbooks. Lots of great recipes and usually a serving is between 275 and 350 calories. And hubby (who does most of the cooking) always throws in extra veggies when he can to bulk up the portion the size.

Some of my favorites... stir fry with any type of meat; skillet mac; and slow cooker lasagna. :happy:

I don't cook. Small Wendy's chili is 210 calories, yummy and filling, though probably high in sodium. Subway salads = 50-110 calories without dressing or cheese.

3 egg omlettes. Depending on fillings (usually do veggies with green onion, peppers) can go over or under the 300 cal mark. Lots of protein and filling.

300 cals is not a meal, much closer to a snack.

And that's lovely for you but that's not the topic of this post.

Costco sells a large pack of Garden Lites - Grilled Vegetable Souffle. One souffle (about the size of a pot pie) is 150 calories, so I eat two slathered in mustard. (Like quiche). Filling...not so much (is ANYTHING at 300 calories "filling?"), but quite alot of portion for 300 calories.

And for the people saying 750 calories is a meal...I wish I only get 1300 cal a day, lol

And to play along, although I usually double this for my meal, this is in the ball park of 300 cals, very satiating:

My New Go-To Meal
Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 20 mins
Serves: 1

Ingredients
1 cup brussel sprouts, cut into fourths
1 Applegate Chicken Apple Sausage, sliced
1 piece of bacon, cut in half
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons Tessamae’s Zesty Ranch (I replace with a tsp or so of Hidden Valley ranch seasoning mix)
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 4 tablespoons of zesty ranch to the pan along with the minced garlic clove. Then toss in your brussel sprouts.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the brussel sprouts and let them sit for a couple minutes until they begin to burn just a bit.
Use a spoon or a flip of your wrist to turn the brussel sprouts over to cook on the other side.
Once the brussel sprouts have been flipped, add in a tablespoon of water and cover the pan with a lid. Keep an eye on them, being sure to move them around once more so the little guys don’t stick to the pan.
While the brussel sprouts finish cooking, add a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
Add your piece of bacon that has been cut in half to the pan. As soon as the fat begins to render out into the pan, add the sliced chicken sausage.
Once your bacon is ready to flip, flip the bacon along with the sausage to cook on opposite side.
When your brussel sprouts are soft enough to stick a fork through, remove from heat, salt and pepper once more, then place in bowl.
Top with your cooked bacon and sausage.
Done and done.
