Help! I need some simple dinner ideas that are easy to make. I kinda have an obsession with cereal so I always eat that for dinner or the chicken you can put in the oven. What are some other options? I don't eat pork, steak, or fish (sometimes in sushi I will eat fish. I also don't like rice.

    My go to websites for ideas are:

    Skinnytaste.com

    The Picky Eater blog

    I just had the following salad with a chicken breast tonight,. Awesome and good for you. The nutrition counts are even in the MFP database so I guess I'm not the only one that likes this:

    My go-to is an omelette [I use 1 egg/2 eggwhites], with salad on the side.
    I can jazz up an omelette10 different ways easily by changing the onion/peppers/swiss cheese to broccoli florets/diced tomato/parmesan, etc. etc.

    Eat pizza.
    Eat burgers and fries.
    Eat lots of peanut butter.


    This from OP's other thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1298916-lost-weight-and-my-period
    You can look through my daily logs. I don't log exercises, but I run and lift some weights and burn about 400 calories a day. I eat 700-800 cals a day. I know that's not a lot, I'm just never hungry. I lost the weight over 5 months.

    My new favorite thing for dinner is broccoli slaw with pasta sauce! Super low calorie, filling, and nutritious.

    Just grab a bag from the grocery store for ~$3, steam up a couple cups (2 cups is 50 calories), sauté with pasta sauce and meat/meat substitute, and you're golden.

    A bag will last you at least four-five meals.

    It makes for an excellent pasta substitute.

    Pasta is cheap and it can last for a couple days. Eat lots of it. Being a broke college student doesn't mean you can't eat more than 700-800 calories a day. You are damaging and hurting your body.

    Obviously, don't do this, OP. You don't need low calorie AT ALL.

    I love cutting up chicken breasts, adding dices red pepper and then adding in a couple spoons of peanut butter and just a bit of milk to make a creamy sauce. omnomnom...
