    I keep my meals around 300-400 calories by making tortilla or pita wraps that usually consist of 2-3oz of chicken breast, chopped up sweet mini peppers, onion, tomato and sometimes guacamole. I usually cook the veggies in a pan.

    Otherwise my list usually looks like this:
    3 large mangos
    cucumber
    mini peppers
    apple
    pear
    bananas
    grapes
    strawberries
    tomatoes - i love putting the little ones in the oven/grill with a spray of olive oil and seasoning
    pineapple
    eggs
    hummus
    avocado or guacamole
    milk
    small tortillas or pita
