    Chicken stew with green onions, tomatoes and some potatoes, 427 calories (guilty, I sauteed the green onions in some butter, so it could get less calories).

    Salad with breadcrumbed chicken and cocktail sauce, 388 calories.

    Raw spinach, bacon, croutons, roasted chicken breast, light cream dressing and some grana padano... 360 calories of pure pleasure.

    I just realized that this thread seems to be a continuation of the other one? It's a little confusing as to which one is supposed to be used but I thought I'd post here as well, just in case.

    i made a lentil stew, served it into individual ramekins, and baked it with a polenta and cheddar topping. the stew on its own is 156 calories a bowl. with the polenta and cheese it's 329 a bowl. super filling low calorie meal with protein and fiber. definitely going

    Lentil Soup

    2 cups dried lentils (i used spanish brown lentils)
    4 cups water
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1/2 onion, diced
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 serrano chile, minced (could use a jalapeno as well)
    1 cup shredded carrots (i coarsely chopped them so none of the pieces would be too long)
    1 large celery stalk, diced
    1 can diced tomatoes (i used garlic and onion petite cut but fire roasted would be a nice spin on it too)
    3 cups vegetable stock
    1 bay leaf
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 tablespoon chili powder

    Put the lentils, 4 cups of water, and a decent pinch of salt into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes. At that point the lentils should be softened up a bit and they will have absorbed most of the water.

    In a large pot heat olive oil, then saute the garlic, onions, and pepper in it. When softened add in the carrots and celery, cooking for a few minutes.

    Add in all of the lentils (with any remaining water) and all of the other ingredients into the pot. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. Depending on the sodium content of the things you use, feel free to salt and pepper more to taste.

    When the soup is done cooking stick an immersion blender in the pot to puree 30-50% of the soup in order to make the "broth" nice and thick. If you don't have an immersion blender just transfer some of the soup to a regular blender and then puree it that way. You could skip the step all together if you're just eating the stew, but if you want the polenta topping you'll need it thick enough to bear a little weight - otherwise the polenta would probably just sink :)


    Polenta Topping

    1 cup polenta
    3 cups water
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 cup shredded cheddar

    I like to cook my polenta in the rice cooker but you can do it on the stove top as well. Cook this while you are simmering your soup, as it will take the same amount of time.

    Combine polenta and water in rice cooker, along with a pinch of salt for flavor - I used a little less than a teaspoon. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the polenta is a soft porridge-like consistency. Stir in a tablespoon of butter at the end.

    You could spoon the polenta right onto the soup, but I actually filled mine into a piping bag and squeezed it into the bowls that way. Once the soup ramekins are topped with polenta, sprinkle a bit of cheese over each one.

    I baked them at 400F for 15 minutes, but popping it under the broiler would work just fine too I think :)
    This sounds totally delicious! The pictures make it look soo good

    Another seafood night!
    IMG_20130117_184353.jpg
    Made shirataki pasta again, with a sauce that's partway between vongole and alfredo, with mushrooms, onions, manila clams and one big tiger prawn! Poured on top of steamed broccoli and cauliflower, with a broiled parmesan yam on the side!
    In all, it was a very filling 585 calories!

    Do not have a photo. But you need to fill the bottom of your plate with boiled, steamed or cooked veggies. This replaces the rice or pasta or bread that you would normally have. You then put the small serving spoon of the main meal e.g. pasta, carbs on top.

    Dinner tonight was another massive omelet with roasted veggies, spinach, some pico and loads of sriracha. Probably unnecessary but I felt like squash too, so I had it on the side. And by probably unnecessary, I mean way too much food to consume in one sitting :blushing: sounds a bit crazy but I think omelets like these are my comfort food.

    Why would I want to replace rice, pasta, and bread?

    None of my recent meals have been pic-worthy.

    I think my goal for the week is to have at least ONE meal interesting enough to post!

    I just had the nicest snack, fresh mango with roasted coconut chips. Yummo!

    These coconut chips are so good, I've had them in salad as well (surprise!!) and in yogurt with chocolate chips.

    Why would I want to participate in a thread called "What do your meals look like, show me pictures" ... If I had no pictures?
