Any suggestions for a filling dinner thats under 300 calories...thats not salad (or a version of a salad)? I'm having a bit of an off day, and that's all I have left. But I'd rather barf than eat a salad today. haha

If I'm light on calories I will have a bowl of oatmeal (1 Cup Serving) with some fruit - very filling! I like to have deli meat on hand for this reason as well. I use the Oscar Mayer packaged deli meats (I know a lot of people have issues with Deli Meat, but its better than some alternatives!) I put about 4 slices of the roasted chicken breast on an Arnold Sandwich thin, add a slice of swiss cheese, baby spinach and yellow mustard. Pair it with carrot sticks or celery sticks and you have a light filling meal.0

Chop Chop Beef stir fry (hungry girl)
PER SERVING (entire recipe): 293 calories, 6.5g fat, 914mg sodium, 26g carbs, 7.5g fiber, 7g sugars, 35g protein -- PointsPlus™ value 7*
1/2 cup fat-free beef broth
1/2 cup fat free reduced sodium beef broth
1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce
1/2 tbsp. chopped garlic
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
4 oz. raw lean beefsteak filet
Dash salt, or more for optional seasoning
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup sugar snap peas
2 tbsp. chopped scallions
Optional garnish: thinly sliced scallions
In a bowl, combine beef broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper. Whisk until cornstarch dissolves. Set aside.
Season beef with salt and thinly slice. Add to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 10 - 15 minutes.
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add broccoli, mushrooms, sugar snap peas, scallions, and 1/4 cup of the marinade from the beef. Stirring occasionally, cook until broccoli softens, about 3 minutes. Add beef and remaining marinade. Stirring occasionally, cook until beef is cooked through, 2 - 3 minutes.
Serve it up and, if you like, season to taste with additional salt and garnish with sliced scallions. Enjoy!
