    You're all better than me because I was going to say I'd eat pizza or spaghetti or something lol

    Monday I had angel hair pasta with spaghetti sauce, parmesan cheese, garlic bread and salad with vinagrette dressing. It was 570 calories. I was extra hungry that day so I had 1.75 servings of pasta instead of just 1 but I could have come in under 500 if I needed to. I had pizza the other day and it was 600 calories, but I could have just had 1 piece of pizza and a big salad and it would have been under, but I wasn't at home and salad wasn't an option so I had 2 pieces. I think it is pretty easy to fit a dinner in at 500 calories. I would go for about 100 g of protien and lots of vegetables.

    I eat pizza for dinner. It's AMAZING how much pizza you get to eat if your order thin crust. I swear 95% of the calories are in the dough

    Yeah but this always makes me think that I am paying the same price for much less food. Thin crust my kids will eat their way through a whole pizza, we have to buy twice as many, doubling the cost. Pay the same $, eat one slice each of a thick crust pizza, have leftovers for lunch the next day.

    My kid is three. He hasn't developed the love for holy pizza yet. I expect when he does we'll have to get him his own.

    Tonight I had:
    8.7 ounces of Stouffer's Signature lasagna with meat & sauce = 369 calories
    1 slice whole grain white toast = 65 calories
    1/2 Tbsp butter for toast = 50 calories
    Glass of water = 0 calories
    Total = 484 calories

    I wish I could do 500 calories of pizza...I only do pizza once per month...occasionally twice if my kids have been asking and have been good...I can't do it any more than that 'cuz I don't do 500 calories of pizza...pizza night is generally an eff it type of event.

    The same thing I eat for dinner all the time. It's rare for me to have a dinner go over about 370 calories. Dinner is also the healthiest most nutrient dense meal of my day, and that kind of stuff just seems to tend to be lower calorie. Tonight I'm making homemade chicken cordon bleu, and green beans. Gonna be all of 314 calories.

    What do you make?

    My din is usually 550-750 calories

    Somebody told me to make chicken and vegetables once

    However I'm the karb kween

    --A large Bowl of--
    360g Steamed Brussels Sprouts
    16g balsamic vinegar
    8tsp Mustard

    --With a side of--
    89g Boneless Uncured Ham (Which goes great dipped in the mustard, or with a little of its own on the side)

    --For Desert--
    265g Plain greek or icelandic yogurt
    24g Honey


    Okay, so the honey puts it at about 550 calories. You could probably go a little lighter on the yogurt (say, 200g) since that's almost a cup and a quarter's worth of the stuff, but 265g per 24g is my usual preferred amount for yogurt-to-honey sweetness ratio.

    Hmm maybe an omelette? Or some rotisserie chicken plus some veggies? You could even eat some of the skin and have a potato. It sounds like maybe you want something easy. There are tons of options for 500 calories though.
