    look for some black bean burger recipes...those are filling and can be around 500 calories depending on what you have with it and the type of bread you use (if any).

    Turkey, Sun-dried Tomatoes, & Chickpea salad; it's one of my favorites! A little more than 300 calories.. will depend on brands used, etc:

    Some kind of grilled or roasted/baked meat, poultry, or fish with a side of some kind of starch or grain/seed (brown rice, sweet potato, potato, quinoa, etc) and a heaping helping of the veg of your choice (I generally prefer roasted.

    Two Corn Tortillas, Taco Sized - 100 Calories
    Two Large Eggs, Scrambled - 140 Calories
    1 TSP Vegetable Oil for Scrambling - 40 Calories
    28 g Shredded Colby Jack - 120 Calories
    Whatever raw or cooked vegetables you want, and/or salsa/hot sauce, for your remaining 80 calories. I like peppers and onions.

    Hold them like tacos or stack everything up on a plate.
