looking for 400 calorie meals

Hi and welcome!! Here's a site to get you started: http://400caloriesorless.com/

:drinker: 4 ounces of grilled chicken breast or fish plus a ton of vegetables (steamed, with no butter or sauce) like broccoli, cauliflower, green beans will come in around 400 calories and fill you up.

1 large slice of papa johns pizza.

i usually have 3 at a time, 1200 calories. but still under my daily calorie intake.

For breakfast I eat this:

1 egg
1/2 slice american cheese
english muffin
1 sausage patty
I can't believe it's not butter spray (0 calories)

=250 calories

Or

1 Dannon light & fit yogurt
1/2 c. Kellogs Granola
Piece fruit

=350 calories (appx)

Or

Quaker Oats weight control Oatmeal
Piece fruit

=250 calories

I find it's more about getting your portion sizes under control than it is about finding meals w/certain number of calories per serving.

it's not really more fat and sodium than you need depending on your weekly diet. i eat fast food once a week for dinner usually on Wednesday nights . 3 slices of pizza or a Double Quarter Pounder a week isnt going to do anything. eating fast foods onces per week is still doing better than 90% of Americans who eat out several times a week and over eat their calorie intake by thousands per day.


My Doctor took my blood work 2 months ago during a check up and im perfectly healthy internally. ive dropped 37 pounds in 5 months trying to make my body look healthy lol. ive eaten fast foods once per week for 5 months with no set backs. most people on diets really go overboard. you gotta be able to relax and not go overboard with your diet. your body would love a high dosage of fats,calories and carbs at least once per week. it helps break up the pattern in your diet.

It's more- I find- than just eating 400 calorie meals... it's eating six or seven meals a day.

For example. I'll eat a serving of Honeynut Cheerios with skim milk for breakfast with a half of banana. Two hours later, I'll eat a snack that is between 75 and 150 calories such as reduced fat Wheat Thins, a Dole pineapple fruit cup, a cheese stick, a banana, a hard boiled egg- you name it.

Two hours later, I'll eat a lunch that is no more than 300 calories. A peanut butter and jelly sandwhich (only one tablespoon of peanut butter) and a glass of skim milk, or more cereal, or oatmeal. But you could just as easily do a 4 oz serving of grilled chicken or steak with a salad made up of lots of greens, tomatoes, cucumbers and olive oil and vinegar- no croutons or such!

Two hours later, I'll repeat my snack of 75-150 calories. Then two hours later I'll eat dinner, and two hours later, I'll have a snack.

My wife and I do the Leslie Sansone 4 mile walking DVDs (several for variety) each night.

That's what really has worked for me. I lost 25 pounds that way, got derailed and put back on 15, and now I'm back working it off. Hope that helps some.
