    Nice one. I'm thinking up the exercise for today and maybe I can have grilled salmon with broccoli.

    Look for a 1,000 calorie recipe and eat half of it

    Pretty much all of my dinners are under 500 calories (except today's). My diary is open if you'd like to check it out.

    I manage to eat burgers with fries, tacos, steak - you name it - for 500 or fewer calories. Not too hard, actually. Portion control.

    I also have a 200-calorie dessert every single night. :)

    Most of my dinners are pretty down there too if you wanna check out what I'm making for dinner. I actually weigh out a couple things before I put them on my plate since that seems to be the only way to insure portion control and accuracy for tracking, lol

    Stuffed peppers with mince, mushrooms, rice, onions and herbs and seasoning with mixed veg or roast veg. You could even serve it with a tomato and onion sauce

    My dinners are never more that 250/300 calories unless I go out to dinner or something. Last night I made BBQ Meatloaf Muffins (meatloaf made in muffin pans for portion control) and it was 100 calories a muffin. I had 2 and then 2/3 cups of corn which totaled 270 for my meal.

    Google and I am sure you can find a lot of options.

    And for those who might comment that 250/300 calories cannot be filling, I assure you it is. I eat most of my calories in the morning as i find it helps me to not snack throughout the day and keeps me satisified longer.

    Happy losing! :flowerforyou:
