300 Calorie Dinner Ideas?

bump......mmmmmmmm!

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.

mmm bump!

Thanks to amillionmegs ... I am having my first bump, and it is SUCH good one.

Thank you all for all these great ideas!!!

I usually just broil some chicken or pork (3 oz is between 125 and 150 calories usually), have 2 veg as a side, and a small 1/2 cup serving of mixed rice (brown rice and wild rice usually, but sometimes I'll buy the pretty mixed rice). It's always under 300 calories.

Other meats I do... Veal sometimes (usually pan seared), with spaghetti sauce poured over (I'll do a small serving of pasta with this instead of rice). I like to pan sear tuna. Shrimp is low calorie10 medium sized is around 100 calories I think. I'll bake fish in foil packets with veggies and quinoa. Mahi Mahi is very good poached in a pan with veggies softened in 1/4 cup of lite italian dressing and served over quinoa or rice.

With my leftovers... I usually have lunch the next day. Leftover pork and chicken get turned into a skillet meal with carmelized cabbage and onions. Or the chicken gets turned into a skillet meal with black beans, colored peppers, onions, spinach and tomatoes (lots of chipolte and cayenne pepper mmmm).

I go for easy most days, because many times, I'm cooking two meals, one for me and one for the rest of the family. I have allergies that I work around, they can eat whatever.

My diary is open, if you want to look. It hasn't been that solid over this past weekend, but generally I'm faithful about filling it out.

Is there any way to delete the older bumps and clean up this thread to make it more readable?

Nope. Sorry.

bumping for later! :happy:

I agree. There should be an easier system so that you wouldn't have to look through the whole thing to find a recipe. I'm copying and pasting into a word document so that I can just refer to it and if you post you're at the very last page. Seems to me it would be better if the last person to post would be the first person to be seen.
