    i'm a hard-core fan of flat-out pizza. i'm pretty sure i make it every friday. lol!

    i just thought of another quick low-cal meal! its not homemade, but sometimes i pick up a sushi platter from the grocery store on the way home. (i go to costco or heinen's) the whole platter will feed a family (4 or 5 pieces per person), requires no cooking/heating/side dishes, has different ones to choose from, and is balanced. low-cal, and filling!

    the prawn stir-fry idea sounds great! i've made something similar to this before, however it was not a quick meal what-so-ever becuase i had to chop veggies, stir-fry them, thaw the prawns, cook them, and mix some sauce. i'm sure buying already-cooked prawns and veggies would be a lot easier!

    Tonight for dinner I made stuffed zucchini and they were delicious and filling and only 322 calories per zucchini.

    Need:
    2 zucchinis
    8 oz. ground turkey 99% lean
    1/4 onion
    1 jalapeno
    1 medium egg
    1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup Fire Roasted Tomato and Garlic Spaghetti Sauce
    1 Sarah Lee 80 calories and delightful wheat hot dog buns

    Directions:
    Cut the zucchinis in half and scrape out the seeds to make them into boats. Cook the turkey, onion and jalapeno in a frying pan. Take the hot dog bun and break it into crumbs in a bowl, add the egg and stir. Add half of the cheese and the 1/2 cup of spaghetti sauce, stir. Once everything is cooked add it to the bowl and stir everything together. Then stuff the zucchini and bake in a pan for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees, covered. Uncover and add the rest of the cheese, cook for another 5-10 minutes and dinner is done!

    I'm not a cook at all...I once burnt spaghetti but this turned out great so anyone can do it!

    This is my first post ever, I've just started "THE DIET" :smile: but the dinner I made tonight was so good, I decided to brave the forum. Now.. this is NOT under 300, but it could be if you omitted the steak. Honestly, it was the best meal and I finally felt like I had had enough to eat at dinner -- and I have been really hungry ;) Hope this is helpful to somebody!

    Steak & Shrimp Stiry Fry
    Frozen Vegetables - Asian Medley, 1 Cup 50
    Extra Virgin Olive Oil - ¼ tbsp 30
    Beef - Sirloin Steak - Lean Only, Grilled, 3 oz 158
    Shrimp - 6 medium 38 (I used frozen)
    Minute Rice - White Rice ½ cup cooked 100
    Kikkoman - Teriaki Sauce, 1 Tbsp 15
    Coffee With Skim Milk (3tb) - Brewed @ Home, 8 oz 17 0

    Total Calories: 408
    Without Steak: 250

    Next time I would omit the Teriaki sauce because of the really high sodium content.
    This would have been good w/o the rice too.
    Good way to use leftover steak b/c you couldn't justify eating the whole thing the night before :wink:

    We had shish-ke-bobs on the grill tonight. I used beef and alot of fresh veggies, mushrooms, red & yellow peppers, onions, zuchin, tomatoes and they were amazing. Quite low cal and could be even more so by using chicken. I brushed them with a little Chipotle Pomegranate Sauce.......yummy.

    This recipe sounds amazing, I was just wondering if the calorie count you listed was for 1 kabob?
    Maple Glazed Pork and Apple Kebabs.

    Need:
    2-3 Mac apples
    3 tbsp pure maple syrup
    12oz of centre cut pork loin de-fatted
    Bamboo skewers.

    Cut the pork into approx 1inch cubes.
    Add the pork to 2 tbsp of maple sugar in a bowl, coat them and let them sit for a half an hour or so or overnight.
    Cut your apples into cubes as well.
    Put on skewers alternating apple and pork. (1.5 oz of pork each skewer approx.) - will make about 8
    Place skewers on a broiling pan or baking sheet.
    Dilute 1 tbsp of maple syrup with approx 1 tsp of water.
    Baste each skewer.

    Cook at 350 until cooked through, approx 15 minutes.
