    I do well finding 400 -500 calorie meals/ snack allowances, but if I want to skip the snacks and eat low for lunch to save for a special restaurant or home cooked meal I am at a loss for idea's. Share yours to help cure this "dieters block".

    carrots and hummus, but holy **** you have to eat an insane amount to hit 800 cals

    I make up a triple decker Reubens Sandwich when I want a real treat:

    8 wafer thin cut slices of Pastrami (we can't get decent corned beef in the UK)
    Hot Sauerkraut
    Thousand Island Dressing
    melted, grated Emmenthal Cheese
    3 slices of Rye Bread

    Layer the Pastrami, cheese, hot sauerkraut and dressing on slice of bread 1, add slice 2 and repeat. Do it this way so that the heat from the warm pastrami and the hot sauerkraut melts the cheese for you. Press, heat a bit more in a dry pan, serve and enjoy.

    880 calories but SO worth it!

    Failing that anything with a large amount of Reese's... well Reese's anything actually!

    Beef stroganoff
    Lasagne with all the extras
    Curry with naan
    Some garlic breaded mushrooms

    I love rich food, anything with cream in takes the calorie count high, so so delicious :)

    Well if I COULD have the past meals.. it would be:

    Kelseys: Chicken Wrap & Side Caesar Salad
    Salisbury House: Double Cheese Nip, Fries and a Shake
    Subway: Oven Roasted Chicken Breast, Cheese, Bacon, loaded with veggies

    Now?

    Pizza Hotline: Gluten Free Crust, New York New York! or - Meat Pizza
    My Aunts Ribs, Whatever Rice (and if past - Garlic Bread)
    Shrimp Scampi (now with) Gluten-Free Pasta

    Moral of this... WE NEED MORE GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS FOR BUNS, SANDWICHES, ETC. :(
