    Konjac root noodles. Sorry but I can have my noodles all day & still be so far in calories it's not funny. 2 servings (fill you up kind) and it's only 11cals. I have pasta, stirfry.... hell I can have mac & cheese made from it & eat that about 10 times a day

    ohhh sounds delicious! will have to try this :)

    The noodles are not tasty at all & are kinda chewy if you dont cook them a little longer. They are already 'cooked' but they need the extra so you can eat it...well at least for me. You do need to a flavor though.

    Can't live without my oatmeal. I have it for breakfast EVERY morning. I did however discover that it gives me horrible gas :blushing: my poor husband needs respirator to be near me :bigsmile:

    cannot agree more about the oatmeal... you may be onto something here haha!
    thanks all for the amazing ideas.. adding them all to my shopping list :)

    My favorite meal is Yogurt, sliced up banana and a protein powder. Ohhh and I can't forget the cinnamon♥
    I don't have it as often anymore but it is delicious and an easy way to get 24g protein without having meat haha. I use LeanFit Whey Protein Shake - Vanilla. I also agree with oatmeal. I like the steel cut because it still has some texture and I just cook it in the microwave. Just pop it in with water and walk away for 15 minutes...bam! Steel cut oats : ) I add my protein powder to this as well. It gives it enough flavor so I don't usually add brown sugar or anything.

    I like all the ideas on here, it is goof to have variety so you don't get bored.

    So this is oddly specific, but my favorite healthy dish I would not want to live without is wholewheat orecchiete pasta with italian turkey sausage, lots of garlic, and broccoli rabe. Sprinkle with a little pecorino romano or locatelli cheese and toss in the pan with a little chicken stock. Freaking delicious.

    This salad that I make. It's bibb lettuce, carrots, radishes, green onion, cheddar cheese, and 4 oz dijon mustard baked chicken breast, with Hidden Valley light ranch on top. It's my favorite meal.

    Definitely oats, natural yoghurt, cottage cheese and tuna. They're all foods I et basically every single day.

    I'm just about to order one PB2. I can't have peanut butter in my house because I WILL binge on it so I'm pretty excited that there seems to be a lower calorie alternative!

    Spaghetti squash lasagna - can have a huge plate full for less than 400 calories! Hershey's dark chocolate kisses - I have at least 2 a day....every. single. day. And pretty much any frozen fruit - makes a great "I-think-I'm-hungry-but-probably-just-bored-so-I'll-go-check-the-fridge/freezer-to-see-what-I-can-munch-on" snack!

    Roast brussels sprouts and pan fried fish (whatever fish you fancy-i like salmon, but tilapia, turbot and sole are good too).

    Slice sprouts in half, toss w/2tsp olive oil & salt & pepper & roast at 400 for an hour-hour & a half. Check em at 30 mins & turn them when they start browning. They end up so sweet and roasty... Omg, heaven.

    Then grab a piece of fish, sprinkle both sides w/ Weber Beer Can Chicken seasoning (so good-i put it on lots of stuff). Put a half teaspoon of fat of yr choice (i use organic grass fed lard-NOT the shelf stable store bought kind) in the pan & heat, the put in the fish & fry til golden brown on the outside & the inside is just done.

    If you use an 8 oz piece of tilapia, the cals on the fish are 270.

    Sprouts are around 150 cals for a big serving.

    Tastes amazing, is healthy, fills me up-i feel satisfied after eating it-BUT-i dont feel heavy or weighed down or sluggish after i eat this. Been having it twice a week or so for months...its just so good :)

    Salad - so many kinds. Sometimes I have it twice a day. I don't get how people don't like salad. There are so many varieties, quick and easy to prepare.

    Hard boiled eggs - easy to prepare, dairy free snack.
