whats everyones 300 calorie, filling, Fav meal?

If you started eating more and fueling yourself while you exercised you would lose weight faster and maintain that weight loss for life. When you eat too little you lose weight, but it's 50/50 muscle and fat..... if you want to lose fat then eat more and workout.

If you are tired of yo yo weight loss over years...... stop doing what you did before...it didn't work. Do something different !

If she is like me, she probably is eating back work-out calories with snacks as she is able to work out. That adds 200-300 cals per day. You still have to have a deficit to lose some needed weight. That's what a diet is. I am measuring gains in muscle areas and loss in fatty areas...sounds all good to me. Have lost 10.7% of body weight since Christmas. I think I'll stick with diet and exercise the best I know how. ANY-HOO:

IDEAS:

-Sandwiches with "Healthy Life" bread (70 cal per 2 pieces), turkey, spinach, banana pepper, 1 slice tyson precooked bacon, a piece of fruit, finish with low fat cottage cheese or something crunchy (pretzels), whatever you prefer.

-Any crock pot meat with veggies (chicken, pork loin, roast, turkey), just measure your meat. Watch additives, meats rarely need them in a crock pot or pressure cooker.

-Pork loin and leftovers: bbq sandwich on healthy life wheat bun (not my fav Healthy Life bread, but decent heated up a bit in the micro) with half a baked potato covered in green bean juice seasoned, green beans.

-White Chili with leftover chicken breasts

-Salads

-Omelets

-turkey

-oatmeal

-lowfat Kroger Granola cereal with berries and skim milk

-Breakfast "Egg McMuffin": liquid scrambled eggs, 1 piece tyson precooked bacon, on a wheat Healthy Life English muffin with 1 T. 2 % milk shredded cheese and hot sauce

-Low Fat Wheat Tortillas with your choice of mexican fillings and measured sides of rice, lettuce, salsa.

-Japanese Rice, Lean Meat, Veggies (Measure rice portions)

-Chinese: Rice (measured per calories you want to devote to it) with veggies and lean meat

-Egg McMuffin and coffee

-McDonalds fruit parfait and coffee

-Oatmeal with dried berries + 1 slice Healthy Life Wheat Toast and coffee

150 cal in-between/pre-workout
-Protein Frap (like McDonalds, but healthier and low cal), ice, instant coffee, light hershey's, protein powder, honey, YUM!, lowfat ice cream or yogurt (fresh or frozen)

-Berry Smoothie: similar idea as about with frozen berries, vanilla protein powder, splenda, ice, yogurt

- Low Fat Wheat Pita Pocket apple dumplin with yogurt + splenda + cinnamon for filling

-Italian: Minestrone + Salad + Fish and veggies (300 + a bit)

-Wheat pasta + Lean spaghetti sauce + salad

-Fish (Salmon, Tilapia, catfish in olive oil and seasonings) + Rice + Veggies

With a 300 calorie meal, I need a 100 calorie controlled snack available in 2.5-3 hours. If it's a 400 cal meal, I can usually make it to the next meal without a snack, but I feel like that's a risk in case I get the munchies, so I try to keep breakfast and lunch to about 550, and that saves enough for the evening at 450-500 and 2 snacks. If I workout, I add a protein supplement, banana, carb snack, or yogurt, depending on where macros are lowest for the day.

2 eggs
1 banana

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

Never heard of such a thing. I am SO trying this today!

This sounds interesting...I will be trying this! Never heard of anything like this

94% fat free popcorn is under 300 calories for a bag and it is super filling! Not exactly the best tasing food out there though, I usually put some hot sauce on it :laugh:

300 cals is not a meal, much closer to a snack.

this

Holy crap my calories per meal are like a roller coaster lol 300 isnt enough most of the time....but the lowest calories for the most fill is def fish and 2 veggies....nom nom nom

You bet!! I actually just gave a friend the "boca crumbles or lentil swap" recipe- basically just swap the meat for something meatless! enjoy!!

asian lettuce wraps

I'm actually having it for dinner!

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

Slainte :drinker:

Look at Amy's Meals. They are mostly vegan, but sometimes vegetarian. They never contain meat! I am vegan, and they completely fill me up! All of the "microwavable" meals are 180-340 calories. Look at target, sprouts, Market Street, or any local healthy store. They are also completely organic. Cost is $3-$4 p/meal. Not bad for a lunch or a dinner, and worth it if you want to really be healthy and eat right!!

mine is Iceland - Oriental Vegetable Mix, 200g with Iceland - Frozen Diced Chicken, 100 g fryed up minimal oil for the chicken cooked up quick in a wok together yummy and filling

Wow! I wish I was able to 750+ caloric meals!

Why don't you? How many calories are you eating in a day? Even if I was only eating my BMR (1365), I'd still be able to eat a 750+cal meal... But I eat more like 2000 cals/day and still lose weight.

it's not really a meal but sometimes i eat a whole 450g tub of fat free yoghurt, 333 calories in total

it's a whole lot of sugar but better than a tub of ben & jerry's i guess?

250 gr of mixed veggies (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower)
100 gr tofu
1 HB egg
1 apple

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

1/4 cup of rice is 4 tablespoons. How is that filling?

Blackened tilapia & broccoli.

Thanks for starting this thread.

One I like is 1 cup of aspragus, 1 cup mushrooms, 1/2 cup black beans and 6 oz shrimp, stir fried together with my favorite seasoning salt, Sneaky Salts. This is 318 but could reduce the shrimp a bit to get to 300.
