I have only 555 calories left for the day. Anyone got any suggestions what i can have for dinner and a snack? Oh and low in sodium. I’m not doing any workouts today because I hurt my side muscle and I'm hungry!!

    Taco night is always good for calories!

    3 crunchy taco shells are only 180 calories
    80/20 ground beef is 200 calories for 3oz which should be good to fill your taco shells
    Shredded mexican cheese (if you want this) is 100 calories for 1/4 which is more than plenty
    and then whatever toppings you want but really when I'm tight on calories I usually make tacos!

    I hope this helped! ;-)

    Spaghetti Squash is an amazing low calorie dinner. When I purchased one in the produce department it had the instructions on the sticker but you cut it in half (you may have to microwave a minute or two to soften to cut. Clean out the seeds (like a pumpkin) Put half of it cut side down in a microwavable dish with about an inch of water. Cover with glad wrap and microwave 7 minutes (I think I have the time right). Let it sit a couple of minutes. Take a fork and run it over the meat of the squash. It will come out like spaghetti noodles. Serve however you like your pasta (Marinara, olive oil, parm cheese). I am not a huge vegetable fan but I was impressed how much I enjoyed it. I think it was about 60 calories before you add the topping. Good luck.

    Bruschetta Chicken Bake (google it or put it in the search here). It's only about 300 calories per serving and so yummy!
