Hi All

I need ideas.....

What do you eat for dinner when you do not have many calories left for the day?

    How many calories are we talking. If you can give me a range, I can give some ideas. Also my food diary is open to the public so feel free to take a look.

    Veggies.. Things such as carrot, broccoli, beans, sweet potato and cauliflower I love, also zucchini, corn, peas, squash. But any really. Bake them, steam them, how ever your prefer them. And just have a massive plate. It will fill you up and be really yummy! If you want some meat, maybe some chicken or something like that.

    Add flavour with herbs, garlic, chilis etc. vegetables are a great suggestion. Omelette is another.

    A recent thread posted these salad ideas from the New York Times - there's bound to be at least one in there you'll love!

    Personally, I fall back on scrambled eggs, omelette, baked potato, sardines on toast, soup or a small portion of leftovers...
