    We do chicken lasagna rolls and they are under 150 each. We normally eat 3 a piece, so you can add more stuff to the side for veggies, etc.

    appleebees garlic sirloin, spinach stuffed mushroom and roasted potatoes...NOW if I can find that good of a steak at the store..and get that recipe for under 550 calories I'd be eating that every night.


    I like that meal! So good for little calories! Otherwise I do the sirloin steak with double broccoli.

    For breakfast (I know, not dinner.) I had tofu scramble. I had the lite kind of tofu and doubled the portion so it's 14g of protein, and then you put all the vegetables in your fridge in it.

    Pad thai with any kind of protein and broccoli, carrots, onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms...

    Gigantic spinach salad with maybe some black beans and some mango and pineapple or avocado (that actually sounds yummy right now.)

    Soup with any kind of protein, salad, and bread.

    Basically, what my nutritionist told me to do is combine a carb, a protein, and unlimited vegetables for dinner. It's pretty easy.

    i just made a turkey lasagne. i used zucchini for the pasta, and potato flour instead of wheat for the cheese sauce and it comes to under 330 cals. salad with it and that's dinner done.
    the macros break down to 21g protein, 21g fat, 20g carbs. but i did use full fat cheese and 2% milk so you could cut the fat by changing those. i prefer higher fat dairy, tastes nicer.

    Slimpasta bolognese. Hyooj 1lb serve, 392 cal, 38c/18f/42p
    Not to burst your bubble, but 38c/18f/42p = 482 cals.

    I've seen the Applebee's steak, it was quite a bit of fat though so it stopped me from getting it!

    We always have light dinners here (usually under 450 calories), feel free to check my diary, usually nothing fancy though.

    Outback has a nice steak as well. I pair it with green beans and it is very reasonable.

    1-2 cups of roasted veggies (try winter squash, carrots, onions, beets, parsnips, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage quarters...) with salt, pepper, garlic, and about .5 tablespoon of olive oil. 4 ounces of your favorite lean meat, and ~1c of mashed or roasted sweet potatoes, quinoa, rice.

    4oz roasted fish + 1.5c steamed greens + 3/4 of beans.
