whats everyones 300 calorie, filling, Fav meal?

2 eggs
1 banana

mash banana, mix eggs in & cook like a pancake. 247cals & will fill you up till your next meal.

300 calories is a snack.

Let me know when we're discussing real meals... like 750+ cal ones.

A patty of extra lean ground beef and a HUGE pile of roasted broccoli topped with lemon zest and a bit of parmesan.

A double serving of Costco's chicken and chive dumblings. 280 cals, and probably a lot of salt. But that is what I eat for second dinner.

4 oz of salmon (160 cal)
1/4 cup of brown rice (40 cal)
bunch of stir fried veggies (broccoli, zucchini, carrots, etc...)

asian lettuce wraps

I'm actually having it for dinner!

You'll need:

1 lb ground chicken, turkey or very lean beef
1 tin water chestnuts, diced and drained
1 cup diced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger or ginger paste
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 cup chopped scallions
3 tsp hoisin or stir-fry sauce
Siracha hot sauce to taste
small handful peanuts (about 20 nuts)

6 Boston Bibb lettuce leaves

Spray pan w/ cooking spray and cook meat almost all the way through. Add all ingredients except peanuts and lettuce leaves and cook on med- high till onions are transparent , scallions are slightly wilted and meat is cooked through. Remove from heat, add peanuts, stir and let cool slightly. When slightly cool, arrange lettuce leaves on plate and divide meat mixture evenly among leaves. Drizzle on more siracha if you like!

Serves 3 at 3 300-320 calories per serving, depending on which meat you use!

Broccoli Chowder with Corn and Bacon



When I made it, it came out to be 282 calories per serving and was super yummy.

WOW, I was just going to look up recipes for this (going to make with Boca chick'n). Thanks so much!!! :flowerforyou:

Slainte :drinker:

Any variation of stew (little meat, plenty of veggies, no fat) or chilli bean soup (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/02/turkey-chili-taco-soup.html) can be made to have around 300 calorie... and be filling. I just grab any recipie and make it lighter.

A salad with lots a veggies and 2 egg, or grilled chicken or beef... with 2 full tablespoons of low fat greek yoghurt as dressing.

For the record, I practice IF *most* of the time. Snacking just encourages binging for me. I'd rather just let myself eat a lot when I'm most hungry, after my workouts in the evening. Its easiest for me that way since I am usually very busy at work and below ground most of the day, I don't even really think about food that often unless I'm in an office with the 6lb bag of gummy worms and trail mix staring me down.

Last night I made some awesome shrimp and crab spring rolls

3 spring roll wrappers
Spring mix
Carrots
Crab (2 sticks)
Shrimp (12)
Spicy peanut sauce

Just about any dinner we make! :drinker: We have a lot of Weight Watchers cookbooks and eating light cookbooks. Lots of great recipes and usually a serving is between 275 and 350 calories. And hubby (who does most of the cooking) always throws in extra veggies when he can to bulk up the portion the size.

Some of my favorites... stir fry with any type of meat; skillet mac; and slow cooker lasagna. :happy:

3 egg omlettes. Depending on fillings (usually do veggies with green onion, peppers) can go over or under the 300 cal mark. Lots of protein and filling.
