    Just had it: 1 cup of Gazpacho with 6 oz of cooked shrimp and 2 oz of avocado cubes.

    It's my favorite summer meal and comes in at 270 calories of YUM!

    I make a batch if peach salsa or pineapple/mango salsa (taste of home recipe). I get salad greens (usually spinach or kale blends) and use a pouch of starkest tuna creations or canned chicken. Voila. Doesn't need any dressing because of the salsa and super low cal. Sometimes I throw in avocado.

    Spaghetti squash+ ANYTHING: choice of meat (I usually do chicken or shrimp) + other vegetables + sauce (sometimes pasta sauce, sometimes hot sauce-whatever you are feelin!)

    Comes out to about 300 calories depending on what you put in there, and is so filling.
