    I love my chicken seasoned with taco seasoning, black beans, lettuce, fat free cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and salsa - yummm. You get a huge plateful for pretty low calories! I put between 2 and 4 oz of chicken on depending on how many calories I want to use. Then have one tortilla on the side.

    1 cup light vanilla or chocolate soy milk, 1 medium banana, 2 tbsp pb and a couple icecubes blended up. I like to have it for breakfast.

    An apple, some 120g of yoghurt (whatever flavour), a sprinkle of cinnamon and a handful of cornflakes or muesli for extra crunchiness :) Should fill you up, it's got protein and it feels like a treat even if it is low cal :) x

    I love slicing up some chicken, shrimp, green peppers, and red peppers... Sliding them on a cabob stick- Rubbing them down with Franks hot sauce and garlic, and throwing them on the grill.... SOOO good.

    Gutting a green pepper, packing it full of black beans and chicken, throw it in the oven and about 5 minutes before its done, put a slice of swiss cheese on top... Yummy, full of protein, and very filling.

    Sorry.. Another favorite... Take a chicken breast, roll it in egg whites and garlic, place a slice of ham and a slice of swiss cheese on top.. Then pour 1/4 cup cream of chicken over the top and bake.. A low cal chicken cordon bleu. Served with a side of steamed asparagus.

    Ok here goes. Take a 100 calorie pita bread. Place it on a piece of tinfoil on top a cookie sheet. Spread 2 tablespoons of kroger brand bean dip ( maybe frito lays is the same) for 35 calories. sprinkle a dusting of taco seasoning over this. top with some chopped red onions and bake at 350 for about 8 minutes until the pita is crispy. Take it out and top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, which is about 100 calories. Put it back in the oven until the cheese melts. Meanwhile, chop up a roma tomato and 4 black olives and some lettuce. Take out the hot pita and top with the cool chopped veggies and top with a Tablespoon of salsa. So the whole thing is around 300 calories and delicious. My teenage boys like this a lot. Also can top with 2 Tablespoons of greek yogurt which adds about 20 calories to this. Enjoy. I eat it often and if I have some chicken leftover, I use a bit of that too and put it on with the main ingredients.

    Grilled talapia seasoned with salt, pepper, lime juice and zest. Roasted asparagus seasoned the same way. Brown rice on the side. Delish!

    I'm making jambalaya tonight but that's not quick and easy. If you have a rice cooker you can throw in 2-3 cups of your favorite veggies. 1 inch slice of ginger, 8 oz of chicken breast diced, 1tbsp sesame oil, 2 cups brown rice 3.5 cups chicken broth and hit cook. Rice goes on the bottom. The while meal will be done when the rice timer goes off.

    Crazy good? Here's one of my faves...

    BLT Steak salad...oh yes, bacon and steak!

    3 slices of regular bacon, cooked until crispy
    9oz thick sirloin or NY Strip steak, grilled to desired doneness
    1 cucumber cut into bite sized chunks
    1 8oz container of grape tomatoes, halved
    celery (1-3 stalks depending on taste)
    8 cups (about 3 heads) of romaine lettuce

    Cut the lettuce, toss with all other veggies
    Divide between 4 plates
    Crumble bacon over salads
    slice warm steak into bite sized slices
    Drizzle 1tbsp Marie's Light chunky blue cheese on each plated salad
    Place steak on each salad, making sure that no one gets an over load of steak (I give myself and my daughter about 2oz each, and give the hubby and teen son a little more)

    Serve!

    The whole family eats this, and I love it because I can totally control the portions of everything. Need more protein, add hardboiled egg white or a handful of nuts. Need less calories, add less steak or bacon. And the best part is, I can have seconds because I use up all the bacon and steak in the first serving, and then have only greens left!

    Crazzzzzy good?! I have you covered. May I introduce you to my favorite 3-ingredient milkshake?! Its not really low-cal at about 350 calories, but it makes a great breakfast or post-work-out meal. This shake is sooo rich, thick, and creamy, you'll think you just bought it from an ice cream stand.

    In a blender, combine 1 banana that has previously been peeled, sliced, and frozen, 2 tablespoons of creamy natural peanut butter, and about 1/2 cup of plain non-fat greek yogurt.

    Delicious!

    For a lower-fat, lower-cal version, skip the p.b. and just use the frozen banana and vanilla non-fat greek yogurt.
