    I like this healthy muffin. It works out about 120 calories. I add blueberries or raspberries to it.

    I just made a Spicy Thai Cabbage & Chicken Stir Fry:

    You'll need: A bag of pre-shredded cabbage (Cole Slaw Mix), 1/4 cup of onion, a garlic clove, hot sauce, a teaspoon of vegetable oil, Pam or other spray oil, pureed Thai seasoning, pre-cooked chicken (a rotisserie portion is fine), some chicken stock, a lime and mung bean sprouts.


    Directions: Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil spray, then add a teaspoonful of canola oil, putting on medium/high heat on the stovetop. Add 1/4 cup diced onions and a small crushed and minced garlic clove. Stir around until starting to caramelise. Throw in a cup and a half of shredded cabbage (I just buy the cole slaw mix from a bag in the produce department). Drizzle on a bit of Scotch Bonnet Pepper hot sauce (regular hot sauce would probably work as well) and add a bit of salt and black pepper. Put in a half teaspoon of pureed Thai seasoning (lemongrass, ginger, and coriander). Toss in a bit of chicken stock if it is sticking to the pan. Stir around until cooked through. Toss on 25 grams of pre-cooked shredded chicken (I use the breast from a rotisserie chicken), and warm through.

    To serve: In a bowl, toss in a cupful of mung bean sprouts, then put the spicy cabbage/chicken stir fry on top. Squeeze half a lime over everything. You can clip some fresh cilantro over the top if you are feeling fancy and have it (I wasn't, and didn't.)

    Cals 124, Carbs 9g, Fat 6g, Protein 8g, Fiber 3g

    It was an explosion of tastes on the tastebuds, pretty darned filling, and only 125 total calories! Will definitely become a part of my 100-150 cal rotation!

    A piece of fruit usually falls in that range.
    A great 300 calorie breakfast is one scoop of whey protein (25g protein, 140kcals) and instant oatmeal (160kcals).

    Hey, just realised I left out the mung bean sprouts in the nutritional tally for the Spicy Thai Cabbage and Chicken Stir Fry... should be:

    The bean sprouts have: Cals 31, Fat .19, Carbs 6.18, Protein 3.1

    Still coming in at 155 cals, or if you want to be fussy about it, you can have 2/3 of a cup of bean sprouts instead of a full cup. Had it again today and it was just as tasty as the first time!

    I saw someone else already said lettuce wraps.... but I make my filling a bit different.

    Ground turkey (7% fat tastes better of course, I find it worth the extra calories, but they have 1% fat as well)
    enough hoisin sauce and soy sauce, equal parts to very lightly coat (not thick coat-- just pretty much change color of cooked turkey from white to brown)
    Then as many onions/veggies as you want. I just do onions/red bell pepper. Sautéed until soft with garlic.
    Spices-- I use a little chili powder, garlic powder, can use siracha...

    wrap in leaf of lettuce. You can eat a LARGE scoop before it hits 100 calories.
    I get full from eating 2 as a 200 calorie lunch.

    2 cups of a big batch of vegetable soup comes out to about 120-130 calories

    This is easy and good. Sauté some chopped up onion & garlic in a large pan. Cut up a pork tenderloin into bite size pieces and add that to the garlic and onion. Cook until no longer pink. Cut up a few granny smith apples (I take the peel off, but you can leave on if you like) into bite size pieces. Add the apples to the mixture until they become as soft as you like. After all this you can add a hand full of spinach, cook until done. Add a bit of salt and pepper. It's yummy and great to divide up for leftovers. This is good with any type of rice, but if you prefer low carb, its great by itself. I think I may make it tonight!

    A smallish apple is about 100 calories once you remove the core.

    Yeah, thank you, but I'm not really looking for single food items. I've definitely eaten apples before. I'm looking for a bit of variety. I like trying new things.
    Why is it the only person you respond to is to say uh, I don't like your suggestion I want a recipe? I have had an apple before.

    I sauteed a bunch of kale and spinach with garlic and topped with a poached egg. Toast or crackers or somesuch would probably be good with that but I definitely didn't need it. (PS poaching eggs is super easy and takes about 5 minutes! try googling different methods.)

    OK. NOT a recipe, but I SWEAR by it. Skinnypop Popcorn. 39 calories per cup, so one 4 cup serving is 156 yummy calories. It's the best bagged popcorn I ever ate.

    Now for a recipe:

    1 Full sheet of Keebler Graham Cracker = 60 calories
    1 Tbsp Krema Peanut butter 95 calories
    Total 155 calories


    Strawberry Smoothie
    1 cup frozen strawberries = 50 calories
    1/4 C lowfat vanilla yogurt approx 50
    1/2 C almond milk 30

    Total 130 calories

    Hope those help!

    I usually have an 80 calorie multi grain english muffin with 45 calorie laughing cow cinnamon cream cheese.
    Or Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt Strawberry Cheesecake flavor(80 cal) with 1 T chocolate chips (70 cal).
    1 cup of strawberries with 2 table spoons of light cool whip and 1/2 T chocolate chips.
    Something sweet but filling at the end of the day.

    These muffins are very good and you could use any flavor non fat yogurt-

    Banana Muffins Number of servings 12

    Ingredients
    1 cup mashed Banana,
    1 cup All-purpose Flour
    1 Tbs Baking Powder
    1/4 tsp Baking Soda
    1/8 tsp seasalt or table salt
    1/4 cup Sugar (White Granulated)
    1/4 cup Kroger - Lite Yogurt - Any flavor you want
    1 egg
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in one bowl and in another bowl beat together bananas, sugar, egg, and vanilla, stir in yogurt. Stir banana mixture into flour until just combined. Scoop into prepared muffin cups. Bake 15-20 mins at 350 degrees. They are best if when completely cooled, even better the next day and the day after that and the day after that.

    Once slice of awesome garlic toast (I eat this for a nighttime snack often!)

    1 slice 45 cal bread
    1/2 T butter
    Garlic powder (however much you like)
    1 T parmesan cheese

    Spread the butter on the bread, sprinkle with garlic powder, then parm cheese. Broil til the cheese melts. YUMMY!

    Each serving is just over 100 calories. I usually eat two and cut them up into small pieces. :)

    Easy Chopped Salad .........around 100 calories

    1 Stalk sliced celery*
    1/3 C shredded carrots
    1/4 cup peas (I use frozen peas.....they thaw by lunchtime)

    Stir in 2 Tbl Newman's Light Sesame Ginger dressing


    *Can swap out celery for thawed french style green beans - just the right crunch (not regular cut frozen green beans...too much water).

    peanut butter fingers:

    take first two fingers
    place two fingers together
    dip fingers in jar of peanut butter
    lick peanut butter off fingers

    my kind of recipe. but i bet closer to 400 calories:)

    I guess that would depend on the size of your fingers... :)

    1 100 calorie English muffin split into 2 halves
    1 wedge of Laughing Cow light Swiss cheese spread, spread between the 2 muffin halves
    2-4 leaves of either spinach or basil, spread between 2 muffin halves
    2 thick slices of tomatoes, 1 on each muffin
    Salt, pepper, garlic seasoning, a dash of balsamic vinegar or light Italian dressing on top of tomato

    Bake in oven until tomato cooks and muffin gets golden and crunchy.

    150 calories, makes a great portion amount of food, and DELICIOUS! I eat this every day.
