I am finding it fun to find healthy meals. BUT I am running out of ideas!!! Please help!!! So far I make my lunch the day before so that I can think about it. I have also found that shopping once a week lets you buy only what you need and no junk food. Today I am making Lemon pepper chicken breast (4oz) steamed peas and carrots 2/3 cups each and for dessert my fav a mini fruit salad.... I am not a huge water drinker so crystal light is a must... all under 500 cal. Oh yea... tomorrow I will be making stuff peppers with lean turkey ground! yummo! I am starting to believe that I will finally someday start to live! It really will get easier!!! I know it will, and i am motivated!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!

    Some one posted this just yesterday and i tried it tonight i was pretty tasty. I made some adjustments and
    will make some next time i make it but it was great!
    *after my adjustments the calories and other stuff didnt match up but it was still a very low calorie meal!

    Spinach and Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast


    10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and juice squeezed out
    1 tsp oil
    1/2 cup (2.5 oz) fat free Feta cheese
    1/3 cup fat free ricotta
    1/4 cup chopped parsley
    1/4 cup chopped scallions
    1/2 onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic
    salt and pepper
    3 (1.25 lbs) chicken breast halves
    1 egg
    1 tbsp water
    1/2 cup whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs (I used 4C)
    spray oil
    toothpicks

    In a small sauté pan, heat oil. Add onions, garlic and scallions and sauté about 1 minute. Add spinach and parsley, salt and pepper and cook another minute. Remove from heat, add feta and ricotta cheese.
    Preheat oven to 350°.
    Slice chicken breast halves into 3 thin cutlets. Pound them to make them thinner. This helps when you wrap the cutlets. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
    Place just under 1/4 cup of spinach mixture in the center of the chicken. Roll it and secure the ends with toothpicks to prevent filling from coming out. It's ok if it's not perfect. The egg wash and breadcrumbs keep everything in place.
    Dip chicken into egg wash, then breadcrumbs
    Spray cookie sheet with oil and place chicken on cookie sheet. Lightly spray chicken with oil and bake about 25 minutes, until cooked through. Remove toothpicks and serve
