    Jerk Shrimp - if you like spicy.

    Jumbo Shrimp
    Jerk Rub
    Olive Oil

    Heat skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil in it. Once heated, toss in the shrimp and dash on the Jerk rub. Let them cook for about 5 minutes. Flip them over, dash with more rub, and cook another 5 minutes.

    I like to serve it with roasted asparagus (fresh aspargus in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes with some garlic and onions).

    what do you have available to cook with? I love to cook. I bet I could create a delicious recipe from the ingredients you have at home... seasonings and all.

    Eat early, eat light and not at all if possible! My trainer says try to do 90% of your calories before 5pm. You didn't say if you have a family, obviously kids need to eat! If you have a spouse, depending on their work; sitting at a desk could skip dinner, but a laborer would need to eat. Less carbs, more protein and always veggies (the less cooked the better)!

    My husband work hard physically all day, so I fix him a meat, potato and veggie dinner and I just eat the veggies. We don't do bread - he's very fit, but puts his weight on in the middle, and bread contributes to that.

    Our 3 year old grand daughter lives with us and I do "healthy snacking" for her. She'll eat a tapioca when she gets up from her nap, then she'll have an apple or banana, then maybe some cheese and crackers later, but no "official" dinner. She's healthy as a horse.

    Good luck! Nancy T.

    def do a veggie stif fry, with olive oil and some garlic... and maybe tuna on the side. Or go out and get some salmon (glaze it with a little teriyaki sauce-low sodium) then throw it on the grill or bake in in foil in the oven. yum. If you dont' like salmon, you can always do a tuna steak. I was just trying to avoid having you go out to buy something else.

    The jerk shrimp sounds yummy!

    Last night I made a quick guac with 2 avocados, 1/2 white onions, 1/2 tomatoes, a little cilantro and lemon juice and a pich of garlic salt.
    I spread that on whole wheat tortilla which I brushed with a little extra virgin olive oil and toasted with some fat free mozerella cheese.

    It was a very yummy vegetarian, light dinner!
