Have you tried the skinnytaste site? I've been impressed with most of the recipes that I've used from there (for instance, I'm addicted to their oven-baked salmon cakes, and they have an oven-baked fried chicken that is delicious).0

this might be crazy talk, but take any recipe that you may like and just portion it out to make it as "low cal" as you want it-2

Skinnytaste is the bomb!! I can't recommend her website/cookbook more highly.

It's not wrong for people to be different than you. I can't believe MFP allows you to continue being arrogant to people who are here for support.

He suggests portion control and seeking help. how is that arrogance? Seems like supportive advice to me.

A risotto type thing with:
Tinned Tuna
Olives
Olive oil
Kidney Beans
Olives
Onion
Peppers
Stock Cube
Brown rice
You can get a delicious large plateful with Parmesan on top for around 5-600kcal. And its really nice and well balanced nutrient macro wise.

I am eating Smart one's for dinner and I buy a bag of steam vegetables to go with it. It's working for me and I feel full! Some of them aren't to my liking but some are quite good!0
-
thanks for all the ideas i'll give them a try!0

In addition to Skinnytaste recipes, you could check out the "hungry girl" site, which has some interesting ideas.0

Chocolate tastes amazing!0

Take any recipe. Halve the meat, starch, and sugar. Take out the cheese. Triple the vegetables. Cut out the oil/fat (use cooking spray or a dry heat method instead).
So:
Loaded baked potato (butter, sour cream, bacon) becomes: a half baked potato topped with a little "it can't be butter", bell peppers, tomatoes, and sprinkled with turkey bacon crumbs.
Beef stew with vegetables becomes: Vegetable stew flavored with beef
Strawberry ice cream sundae becomes: big bowl of sliced strawberries topped with a spoonful of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Ham and cheese sandwich becomes: chef's salad with sliced ham and a few crackers on the side.
"on a bed of rice" becomes: "on a bed of stirfried veggies"

Someone says they have suffered from lack of self control, and he suggests food addiction and checking to see if their health insurance covers food rehab? Seriously?! You're right. Sounds like he's very concerned. *smh*0 -

He does sound concerned. He could have told him that food addiction isn't real and that he needs to grow up and be an adult. Instead he suggested seeking help. How is that arrogant?-1 -

Beans and lentils have high satiety values because of their fiber, and have protein to boot. I've got a turkey black bean chili to die for. http://www.pinterest.com/janetkarasz/recipes-to-try/0

Each and every day, I build my MFP friends up with encouragement. Treating people in that manner has led people to confide in me on several different occasions regarding personal struggles and issues, which opens the door to an opinion that was solicited. Maybe if a real concern existed, it should be private messaged rather than said publicly in a forum.

Please... I had two friends just last week deactivate their accounts because of the ugly comments and messages that were sent to them from this person.

That's great that you hold people's hands on here and be an ear. Some of us prefer to just give information to everyone. That has lead to many people sending myself and the guy you are upset at private messages. In the almost 4 years I've been here I have helped many people and Acg has helped even more.-1 -

So it would have been better to tell him that there is scant evidence of food addiction in humans and to gain some will power?
Are you familiar with the Dunning Kruger effect? Encouragement isn't always the answer. But keep thinking that-2 -

Really? Acg harassed your friends to the point of deactivating? Two in one week? If that was honestly the case then he would have been banned from this site long ago. He doesn't hold hands or sugar coat, but he's not the type to stalk and harass.-1 -
