Hi!! I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for some yummy meals for either lunch or dinner that were under 200 calories. The only problem is that I don't eat vegetables or meat so I'm really in an odd situation there... any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks{:

    A 27g (weight of oats before adding liquid) serving of porridge (oatmeal) plus 200 ml of skimmed milk and a teaspoon of sugar to sweeten it woud be around the 200cal mark, and it keeps you feeling full for a long time. I use the Quaker 2 minute microwave packs.

    No vegies?? Do you eat fruit?

    A good 200cal snack that I do is a banana smoothie... just banana, skim milk and honey blended up.

    Yes, fruit smoothies are a way to go. 70g raspberries, 100g of low-fat Greek yogurt, a cup of water, and either a tablespoon of oats, or high-fiber cereal, or protein powder.

    Or a 2-egg omelet made with 3 g of butter and a HEAP of mushrooms (not a vegetable - do you eat those?). Or instead of the mushroom, a sprinkling of low-fat grated cheese.

    Sliced apple with peanut butter.

    2 slices of Ryvita pumpkin seed crispbread (use something similar available where you are from: for this brand, one slice is 45 cal) with a bit over a TBSP of peanut or other nut butter. Or with cottage cheese. Or with 3 or so wedges of light laughing cow cheese.

    Do you eat lentils?
