    What i do for myself, cause my family isnt doing this with me, i would take one serving of hambuger meat and cook it up. I have a no salt seasoning i use and garlic powder, not garlic salt. Get one serving of lettuce or spinch, which ever you like. So then I would add about 1/3 cup of rice, one serving of cheese, and mix it all together. I would then top it with salsa. Depending on your calories, some pinto beans would work good instead of the rice. Either way, you have a nice mexican salad and it really does make for a big serving. its one of my favorite things to eat. I've even made this with ground turkey and ground turkey sasuage.

    This is just one idea. Enjoy your dinner tonight :bigsmile:

    Taco salad? You could season the meat up with some cumin and chile powder for a tex mex flavor that wont add sodium. Eat it over your favorite salad fixings with some sour cream flavored with the same spices. Crunch up a few tortilla chips on top as well. Add in some rinsed black beans and it is super yummy! Not a whole lot of calories if you don't use too much meat.

    Yup. Taco salad, or similar. If you can keep your beef seasonings very low in sodium, you're good to go! Fry up the beef and season it to your liking. Garlic powder, chili powder, maybe some onion chopped up in it.

    Chop up some lettuce, dice some tomatos and peppers. make a nice big salad with your greens and throw on a serving of the prepared beef. Put some grated cheese on top, a dollop of low fat sour cream and fresh salsa. YUMMY!!! You can have a huge salad for around 600-700 calories. Just be careful what seasonings you use to control your sodium. Otherwise..enjoy!!

    I'd either do taco salad or grill some burgers and serve with whole wheat buns and sweet potato fries (unless that is too many carbs, then I'd do a side salad)

    I would just make it into a patty and broil it, and then eat it with mustard like a bunless burger, and then have salad...I do that like once a week
