    This is too late but for future reference: mini turkey meatballs, frozen bananas or grapes, a protein packed smoothie, soup...

    2 eggs, scrambled in pam (160 cal) w/ 1 slice reg toast or 2 slices light toast (80 cal)-- make a sandwich. Puts you slightly over, but gives protein/fat/carbs & fiber. If you have egg beaters, you can have 3/4 cup for 75 cal, & add a little cheese as well

    The giant salad is a great one for small amounts of calories left - tons of lettuce and chopped veggies, some chopped chicken, and lite balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Easily comes in under your 219 calorie limit.

    Chicken spinach and feta sausages are only about 120 cals/link. Throw it on a Sara Lee Delightful bun for just another 80 calories!

    A big pan of roasted mixed fresh vegetables, drizzled with soy sauce. But - wow - 219 calories for dinner would make me sad!

    So, late to the party but my go-to low calorie meal is a Morningstar Farms spicy black bean burger topped with a slice of Velveeta and an over easy egg; 215 calories of deliciousness.

    Very welcome! ^_^ I figured if I'm cooking it, might as well save the recipe for later. This way doing groceries is easy and maybe it helps someone along the way.
