    HUNGRYGIRL.com she has some that are under 200 or under 300. I've tried the faux fried chicken it was great and so was the Sweet & Sticky sesame chicken AWESOME!

    I don't know if anyone else said this (there were a ton of replies), but I recently bought the Betty Crocker 300 Calorie Cookbook. We've been trying recipes from this book and haven't been disappointed yet. Tonight we had the Garlic Shepards Pie (I loaded it into the database on here) and it was delicious and a big hit with my husband as well! :)

    I bought a cook this, not that cookbook...everything in it is 350 cal and under. I have only made a couple of things so far, but they were pretty good!

    I either got this from Hungry Girl or Spark Recipes. I can't remember which, but it is now a favorite.

    Cilantro-Lime Shrimp:
    2 tsp olive oil
    large, cleaned shrimp, tail off
    2 cloves garlic
    fresh cilantro
    juice of one lime

    This is sooo fast - cooks in 3 minutes. Simply heat oil, add shrimp, a little kosher salt, saute for 2 minutes, flip shrimp, add garlic, cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Squeeze fresh lime juice over shrimp and toss with fresh cilantro. So good.

    It comes in WAY under 300 and is super satisfying. My hubs was a meat & potatoes kind of guy and this transformed him! It keeps well in the fridge, so you can make it in advance and heat it up. I actually love this recipe so much I blogged about it last month:
