    6 oz of baked chicken breast and 100 grams of baked sweet potato. Very filling and it sticks with you. Breakfast I do two eggs, with half a cup of frozen mixed vegetables and a slice of bacon...because I love bacon...and its still under 300 calories.

    breakfast sandwich- one egg, one piece of thick canadian bacon, tbsp hummus and an English muffin. I make mine ahead on Sundays and then warm them up at work.
    - Someone mentioned chili- that's a good one. Turkey chili, just be careful of the spices you use. I was lazy and used a 'chili seasoning' packet from the store- holy sodium! No wonder why it was so good! haha

    I have I higher calorie allowance but I have found that eating a yogurt and almonds for breakfast is a good start to my day (pretty low calories and almonds will help keep you full) and if you mix in a walk on your lunch break or in the morning/evening you will get a little extra to work with =) also I love 100 cal snacks tons of options to pick from!!! best of luck =)

    Salt and Pepper to taste

    Set the oven to 375°F. Put all the prepared vegetables in a large roasting tray or tin, in a single layer if possible. Sprinkle with the oregano and seasoning and drizzle with 4 tbsp of the oil. Mix everything well with your hand. Roast for 45-50 mins until soft and beginning to brown. Stir a couple of times while cooking

    When the veg are nearly cooked, heat a large frying pan and add the rest of the oil and the garlic and cook until the garlic begins to brown.

    Pour in the canned tomatoes, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins. Stir in the veg.

    Great Breakfast idea: (I'm going to post this in the main 'Recipes' page too, but I think you could benefit from it :-) ) I do a 4 egg white omelet with 1/2 of a diced roma tomato and about 3/4 of an ounce of shredded colby jack cheese. I cook the omelet in about 1/4 Tbs of real butter and top it with 1/4 ounce of the shredded cheese (1oz in all) and some salt and pepper. It's delicious and keeps me full for hours.
