Cereal or granola for dinner fulfills my appetite.0

I usually like doing some oven grilled veggies and a protein when I want a lean dinner. Toss a bunch of cubed veggies such as eggplant, red pepper, red onion and zucchini in a bit of olive oil, garlic and spices, then baking in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes. Serve with some grilled chicken or fish with a light lemon vinaigrette. That should be around 300 calories or so...0

i got this recipe from another member on here and it was pretty tasty.
3 cans tuna, drained
crushed special K crackers, I used the herb ones, and i just took two servings and crushed them
2 eggs
mix it all together. Form patties with your hands, place in griddle (spray with Pam) and cook for four minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook until browned. Serve with some veggies and maybe a boiled potato.
230 calories per patty, thats what my recipe maker came up with.0 -
I love a HUGE bowl of spinach with a can of tuna and 2 tbls of ranch dressing(compliments brand) It will keep you under 400 and tastes great!0

I second Tilapia.
On Friday's (Yay for Lent)
I sometimes cook a Tilapia fillet on brown rice with broccoli and cauliflower.I spice it up with some garlic and low sodium mozzarella cheese on it.0 -

this sounds awesome!0 -
Yesterday I made a salad with the following: Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, feta cheese, a few walnuts, grilled salmon (you could substitute tuna), and a balsalmaic vinegrette dressing. It was SO GOOD, and was only 254 calories. I added a half piece of wheat toast spread with a little laughing cow cheese for another 90 calories, and was still under 400. It was satisfying and scrumptious! FYI - when I make salmon I always make extra to put on a salad the next day.0

Fish is definitely a good choice. You can get a fillet of your favorite fish and wrap it in a piece of foil with a slice of lemon and a slice of onion and maybe a sprinkle of herbs. It takes about 20 minutes in the oven and is very tasty.
Another good option is a shrimp and veggie stir-fry. It's very filling and high on protein.
If you have a little more time, though it still takes less than an hour, you could roast a pork loin. It's very lean and the leftovers are great for sandwiches and salads.0 -
I just had Gortons grilled shrimp...it's from the freezer section. Baked it 15 minutes for the whole bag and OOOOOO MY GOSH!!! It was delicious! 8 shrimp for 110 calories and I didn't add any extra seasoning or anything and they were perfect! That with some veggies was great and very low-cal.0

Hi ,

The tuna recipe sounds great. I will have to try that.0

hormel's marinated tenderloin. Cheap. Easy on the grill. 3oz = 140 calories ( I usally have 6 oz) I like the terriaki.0

I like to make a salad out of a can of tuna, a can of drained and rinsed garbanzo beans, whatever veggies I have on hand (usually red onion, tomatoes, cucumbers, and celery), and a tiny bit of lowfat ranch and light mayo or a lemon vinnegrette(olive oil, lemon juice and zest, dijon mustard, s&p). Serve it on a big bed of baby spinach...YUM. The tuna/bean mixture will make 2-3 servings, depending on how many veggies you have in it.0

How about an egg white omlette with lots of vegies and Laughing Cow cheese...
quick and easy. Or omlette with a chopped up spicey black bean burger, like a taco omlette.0
