    I only watch the calories. The rest so far seems to take care of itself. Egg Beaters are quick and are good for low calories good in protein :smile:

    I love a quick wrap.....
    flat out wraps, chicken or flank steak, sauteed peppers, portabella mushrooms, onions.....sprinkle goat cheese or blue cheese; or spread lite alouette on the wrap first....very filling yummy meal.......

    i'll saute the meat pepper,etc in a large batch so all i have to do is assemble.....

    Hard boiled egg whites. Also, turkey jerky, but you have to watch the sodium on that one.

    not a meal idea, but cottage cheese is a great protien. I add it to my smoothies (I just have to make sure I blend it enough to get rid of the chunks)

    Fish ___ there are tons of different kinds that you can bake or grill. Very low in calories and high in protein. Add a tossed salad or some grilled veges for the side.

    You can even make a salad and add tuna to it for protein and to fill you up more.

    I got this from HG

    1 can Amy's Chunky Tomato Bisque Soup
    1 pouch Chicken of the Sea Clams
    4 oz cooked shrimp

    Mix together and warm.

    2 servings 185 calories 17 gms protein

    I also like

    Weight Watchers Smart ones Chicken Santa Fe. I cook 2 zuchinni in a skillet sprayed pam until about 5 minutes until they are brown and add the Chicken Santa Fe. It's a ton of food for less than 200 calories and 21 gms protein.

    Good luck
