    I love spaghetti squash for this. And it is so easy to make, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, place it cut side down in a flat bottomed microwaveable dish, pierce the skin with a fork a few times then microwave for about 8 minutes (it'll vary depending on the size of the squash). Test doneness by trying to pierce the skin again with a fork. If the fork goes in without too much trouble it is ready. Try not to overcook so if it is a small squash microwave for 5 minutes then test it. If the fork tares at the skin then it is too mushy and you probably won't like it.
    Anyway, I cook up a chicken sausage link and some tomato sauce and I feel like I'm really treating myself. Yum.

    Raw veggies and a piece of fruit. Today I did about a hundred grams each of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, tomatoes and mini peppers for less than 200. Add in a sliced apple and a chia seed tea (1 TBS/ 6 grams milled chia seeds)and you should be right at 300.

    My favorite go-to dinner is baked salmon with a tiny bit of lemon juice which comes in at about 120 calories per serving, 1/2 cup brown rice and 1 serving of mixed veggies. Comes in at a bit under 300 cals :)

    I found this website the other day and it has a section of recipes devoted to 350 cals or less. A little higher than what you were looking for, but you could always modify the recipe if need be:

    Hope that helps :flowerforyou:

    "Calorie-free noodles?" Forgive me, but are you being facetious? I love noodles but haven't eaten them for over a year.

    Chili

    165 calories per ladelful (well, for the size of my ladel. It is a bit larger)...total 10 servings

    1lb 85/15 ground beef (can use turkey for less cals)
    1 46 oz can tomato juice (I used GV brand)
    1 14.5 oz can chili ready diced tomatoes (I used GV brand)
    1 10.75 oz can Campbell's healthy request tomato soup
    1 cup diced onions (or more if desired)
    1 8 oz package white mushrooms (or more if desired)
    Chili powder to taste
    Salt and pepper to taste

    Brown hamburger with onions. Halfway to three quarters of the way done on the hamburger, add the mushrooms. Do not drain the small amount of excess fat as this helps to cook the mushrooms. When mushrooms have turned soft but are still somewhat firm, add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on high to boiling and then turn down to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally. I wait until there is a small amount of film on the top when simmering before it is ready to serve.

    With how low the calories are in the soup, you could either have more soup or add many different toppings.

    Enjoy!
