    I love that breakfast thing! YUM!

    Ok.. Now I wish I hadn't eaten dinner already. LOL

    All of it looks DELISH except the cottage cheese.. I can't stand that stuff.. the rest looks amazing!

    I don't know how to post pictures but I make my own breakfast burritos

    1 egg scrambled with mushrooms ( i cook with butter), heat a small tortilla in the microwave with a dash of cheese on it, put eggs on tortilla and top with avocado, lettuce leaf and salsa (and scallions) It will spill out of the tortilla. less then 300 calories

    My new favorite salad under 100 calories. spinach, tomato, watermelon, feta balsamic vinegar. Sounds weird, but it's so good!

    my blog has 2 low calorie Chinese food recipes and they are amazing. I make them all the time.

    Weird, I don't see how you post a picture.

    Curried Kale and Tofu Soup

    Broth (I make veg from reduced-sodium base) = 5 cal in 1 cup
    Fresh chopped kale = 68 cal in 2 cups
    Extra Firm Tofu, cubed = 70 cal in 3 oz
    Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar = 10 cal in 1/2 tbsp
    Curry Powder = negligible

    I usually make at least a double batch (306 cal) but only eat half (153 cal)

    Add a whole-wheat carb of your choice and a fruit and you're still WELL under 500 cal for the whole meal

    I do a taco salad too, I just add nonfat sour cream, avocado and a lot of salsa. Sometimes switch the chicken for black beans (I'm having both tonight though). So good.

    I post pictures of all my meals with calories content and links to recipes (if I have them) on my food blog... ameliasfooddiary.wordpress.com :). The majority of them come in at under 500 calories or around that figure :)
