Just looking for some good ideas for a fat free supper. I am fasting for bloodwork in the morning! and not really sure what is considered to be fat free but filling for my calories. Any suggestions?

    What about a nice big salad?

    I haven't eaten meat in a long while so forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't believe chicken breast has much fat in it... maybe bake some and add it to a nice big salad? A bit of apple cider vinegar, mustard and a touch of honey is a great dressing.

    Lately one of my favourite dinners has been a mock taco salad. I make TVP with taco seasoning and sprinkle that over baby spinach, lettuce, tomatoes and a bit of salsa. It is fat free as well. I know TVP isn't something everyone likes but I find it just takes on the taco flavour without the calories and fat of beef.

    I make taco "meat" with lentils.

    I'm confused. It doesn't matter what you eat for dinner, you just need to eat nothing for 12 hours before your bloodwork.

    Soup. Beans + lots of chopped veggies +, broth = filling yumminess.

    Last night I had homemade tomato sauce over a combination of whole wheat pasta and spaghetti squash which was very filling and I'm pretty sure it was fat free. I also had a salad but there was oil in the dressing so none of my salad dressing for you :wink:

    I'm going to try this - I have made taco "meat" with chickpeas but never with lentils and I LOVE LENTILS!

    This is my thinking too. That way they get an accurate read. Any type of food would tamper with the results.

    my thoughts exactly.

    and, IF the doc actually did place limitations on what is allowed for dinner, i'd think it'd rather be more along the lines of low GI, not "fat free".

    Here where I live they request a fat free supper. Water till 12 and then nothing. Just following doctor orders. :)

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    I have never tried it with chickpeas or lentils before! I may have to try that next time.
