    sorry, i eat regular meals and snacks, i don't eat big portions, big portion is why people put on weight, ever tried to eat 750 calories of veg, would be extremely hard too do. 750 calories i could eat a whole pizza lol. if you eat 750 tell us what the is and i'll divide it :-D

    loving the positive vibes

    I just ate a whole med pepperoni pizza for lunch not 10 min ago....
    And I eat "reg meals and snacks" I eat 6-8 times a day

    good for you I hope you are proud of yourself.

    Breakfast:
    2 slices of French Toast made with 35-calorie whole wheat with fruit -
    1 egg + 2 TBSP skim milk + vanilla/cinnamon to taste. Cook on skillet with Pam, not butter.
    I eat it covered in chopped strawberries (4-5) and blueberries, and sometimes a banana.

    6g protein
    9g fiber (12 w/ banana)
    5g fat (from the egg)
    27g carbs (58g w/ banana) (that's a lot, but it's fruit!)

    Lunch:
    Homemade tuna salad
    1 can tuna, chopped green onion, 2TBSP Miracle Whip (not mayo), pickle relish and/or sweet pickles (I use both)

    198 Calories

    I'm 49. I've been diagnosed with low thyroid. I have instability in my knees and ankles. I'm sedentary, partly by choice. I've eaten loads of 750 calorie meals. THAT'S PROBABLY HOW I GOT TO 200 POUNDS!

    And yes, I'm sure I could find some sort of exercise that I could do 10 hours a day that wouldn't bother my knees, but I don't want to. Eating under the daily prescribed calories - right now it's 1290 and that's losing ONE FRIGGIN' POUND A WEEK, is working for me.

    I'm having one of my favorite under 300 calorie meals tonight. Taco Salad.

    Costco chicken tenders - cooked in the crock pot with low sodium taco seasoning and low sodium chicken broth
    Salsa
    Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese
    Tomatoes
    Tons of lettuce

    I'll have plenty of room for a snack later, which works well for me.

    If you want to have a 750 calorie meal thread, why don't you make your own?

    I dont know if this has been covered before, but will list it anyway:

    Half cup of oatmeal (mixed with spices and salt.i dont like sweet oatmeals) + 3 egg whites + big toast- rounds up to around 300
    OR
    2 toast + 2 eggs + laughing cow cheese wedge - yumm
    OR
    Vegetable hummus wrap - around 370 calories

    there are too many..these are just from top of my head

    My dinner tonight was 1,183 calories. And I'm still hungry. :frown:

    I can have a 300 calorie or less breakfast. Sometimes a 300 calorie lunch. But not dinner. I'd chew my arm off in my sleep if I only at 300 for dinner.

    Old thread is old.

    I agree with Lorina, though. I have to eat more than 300 calories at dinner or there would be no stopping me from eating my entire pantry before bed. Between 500-700 is a good target for me.

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

    make that one egg, and one egg white...and add a quarter cup oats, and puree the whole thing. now make your pancakes. About the same calories, and more filling, and adds some fiber. yum. my go to breakfast when I have some ripe bananas.

    I just made this yesterday for the first time....not really original or anything...and I did it for breakfast at work today.

    1 Bagel Thin-110 cal (can do a sandwich thin, as well)
    4.5 T Egg Beaters-52 cals (equiv of 1.5 eggs...even that would be 105 cals)
    Slice of Cheese-45-90 depending on type/thickness

    Total (max on the cheese): 252...even with whole eggs, it's less than 300 cals.

    Also, yesterday, I put on a Turkey Sausage Patty (50 cals)....but did ultra thin cheese.

    300 calories is a snack.

    Let me know when we're discussing real meals... like 750+ cal ones.

    :laugh: I wish I could afford 750+ cal meals. Lucky you!


    me too!!! I cant go over 300-400 calories or im screwed!

    Agreed. I can do greek yogurt + fruit or cottage cheese with tomatoes, cucumbers and sunflower seeds for under 300 as breakfast or lunch, but generally, dinner is 800+.

    I put on weight because my meals were (unwittingly) in the 200-400kcal range. I would think I must have eaten enough, because my plate was full of food, so when I was hungry later I would refuse to believe it. I would resist for so long, and then binge on Ben and Jerry's when I couldn't cope any more.

    So, if any of my meals are around 300kcal, I add a 50g chaser of nuts.

    300 calories is neither filling nor a meal.
