    Well I went out to eat for dinner tonight and was way over 400 calories, but for dinner tomorrow I'm making (a slightly altered version) spaghetti squash lasagna from dashingdish.com. I love spaghetti squash but I've never made it this way, so I'm actually pretty excited to try it :)

    I had over 800 calories for lunch so I had an ounce of cheese for dinner. :/

    We went to our favorite salad restaurant to pick up dinner. You select what you want, and they chop everything together with the dressing and include a chunk of foccacia. Mine had romaine, chicken, a little bacon, bluecheese, dried cranberries, mushrooms, cauliflower., and a little barbecues ranch dressing. Yummy.

    Sugar is sugar. I use it cause it tastes good. The fitness pal database lists one packed teaspoon of brown sugar as 17 calories. No reason to be lacking it!

    Some of my go-to dinners are:

    - Baked sweet potato with black beans, salsa, tomatoes, spinach on top
    - Stir fry veggies with a little teriyaki marinade, on brown rice with baked tofu
    - Quinoa with broccoli, roasted red peppers, feta, chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano
    - Vegetarian chili with corn, tomatoes, peppers, black beans
    - Black beans and rice bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, avocado
    - Black bean burger with baked sweet potato fries on the side
    - Corn and tomato lettuce wraps tossed with a little olive oil, salt, cilantro, cumin (add chopped bacon if you're not a vegetarian)
    - Salad with roasted sunflower seeds, avocado, boiled egg, or chickpeas
    - Grilled veggies like eggplant, tomato, corn, etc. with vegan potato salad (boiled potatoes tossed with lemon juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, chives)
    - Breakfast for dinner! Veggie omelet with feta on top, or scrambled eggs with potato/bell pepper/corn/tomato roast
    - English muffin topped with tomato, spinach, poached egg, avocado, salsa

    I am by no means skilled in the culinary department, so all mine are super quick and easy (and under 400 cals):

    yesterday i made mini pizzas on gluten free english muffins (non-gf could also be used obviously =)

    they worked out to 194 cals per pizza HOWEVER you could definitely decrease this as I used ham (had some leftover i needed to make use of), feta cheese, and basil marinara.. all of which could be eliminated or replaced.

    tossed them in the oven for 10-15 mins at 350F and voila!


    2 nights ago we had halibut which i smothered in lemon juice, garlic, and basil before oven baking that as well. sided this with a salad made from spinach, feta, and almonds.
