Truly, honestly. Not your most impressive recipe :wink: Trying to get some real-life ideas.

Mine is chestnut mushrooms cooked with olive oil and garlic, some lettuce with balsamic vinegar, and a pitta bread with humous on the side. I've been trying to reduce my bread consumption, but it's Friday night and it's a treat... :smile:

    I'm going out for Italian. I will be eating garlic bread, maybe some minestrone soup, and probably either gnocchi or tortellini, followed by dessert. Most likely tiramisu or chocolate mousse. Oh! & cocktails! :drinker:

    Probably a modest slice of grilled slamon, a green salad, and a streamed veggie.

    Steamed lobster and corn on the cob - both without butter - and some garden salad with homemade Italian dressing.

    Chicken breast baked with greek yogurt, parmesan, mustard and garlic on top. With a side of asparagus sauteed with garlic and a little olive oil. Super easy and super yum!

    I think we're having grilled pork steaks, pine nut cous-cous and corn on the cob...with a glass of wine, or course. :drinker:

    A Morningstar Farms veggie BBQ "Riblet", green beans with slivered almonds, and a baked sweet potato topped with a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar, some cinnamon and a couple hits of spray butter. Probably will have a couple vodka & ginger ales after dinner as I watch a movie or catch up on TV shows for the week. I like chillaxin on Friday nights.

    Not sure about dinner..but I had a fabulous lunch. I have a spiral slicer that makes pasta like strands out of zucchini...so I prepared some of that...sauteed with butter spray and seasonings...then topped it with some shrimps that I sauteed in Cajun seasonings. OMG so spicy...and so yummy...and only 255 cals/4gms carbs/30gms protein! Woot!

    Not impressive or fancy by any means but it's been my favorite this summer - 2 ears of fresh steamed corn on the cob, a fresh tomato sliced with a little salt, and a glass of skim milk. All for about 500 cals.

    50g wholeweat penne pasta, a tin of tuna in spring water (drained), 2 tbsp low fat dressing, a few olives and some salad. Not enormously exciting but filling and less than 400 calories.
