    I am ALL about preportioned freezer meals!

    Spinach cakes 70 cal per cake http://www.eatingwell.com/print/7426

    Veg and TSP tomato sauce - I would put noodles in so it's a full meal but my guy and I eat different noodles.

    Zucchini casserole http://www.skinnytaste.com/2008/07/zucchini-casserole-25-pts.html

    Granola Bars - I switch up the ingredients to suit what I have or to make different ones http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/06/low-fat-chewy-granola-bars-with-pecans.html

    Full pot roast dinner - portion pot roast, pan veg like mushrooms onions carrots golden beets) then all you have to do is steam some fresh green veg and dinner is ready

    Chili - I eat as is or hollow out a zucchini and bake w cheese on top so many options!

    Scallop potatoes - I mix cauliflower and celery chopped very small and layer that mix w potato slices and sweet white onion. The sauce is up to you, to make it super easy I use a can of condensed cream of whatever (chicken, celery, broccoli etc) thin it w a bit of milk or white wine and mix in cheddar and parmesan. Bake it up and portion it up!

    lots of different soups! I make it easy by making chicken stock in slow cooker and freezing in 2 cup bags. Because the chicken stock is homemade, it's way tastier than canned stock so just a few veggies and stock make great low cal soup. All you have to do is steam veggies like a butternut squash (or what about cauliflower and sauteed leek w 1 pc bacon) and puree w the chicken stock.

    I saw people posting about mexican food and I like to premake quesadillas. Heavy on the sauteed mushroom, peppers and onion, sprinkle of corn, black beans, chicken and cheddar.

    I really hope that helps you! Sharing the knowledge helps me remember I know how to do this and stay on track :)
