I am currently on the UpDay DownDay diet. I am only allowed 500 calories today and have already wasted 300 of those. Does anyone have a good suggestion for something filling I can eat for dinner?

    Digiorno 200 calories pizzas are yummy and filling. Pair that with a salad, and you'll go a little over, but you'll get some veggies in!

    5 ounces of grilled chicken; and a couple thick slabs of nice ripe tomatoes topped with basil and white balsamic vinegar.

    Take this with a grain of salt because I don't know anything about the UpDay DownDay diet, but 500 calories for a whole day seems awfully low. :frown:

    Tilapia (100 calories) cooked in cooking spray (3 calories), along with grilled zucchini(35 calories). And you have some to spare :)

    Chicken stir-fry...just some chicken and lots of veggies. Mine is about 1.5 generous cups for around 200 calories. Then just save the leftovers to eat with rice on a not-ridiculously-low-calorie day.

    Yikes, 500 cals in a day?!?!

    Idea- Egg whites, veggies (mush, grn pepper, onion, jalos ,etc) salsa, 50 cal tortilla- wrapped up in a burrito. YUM! High protein, low cal.

    It is low for calories but it's just every other day. So my down days are 500 calories but the updays are unlimited. My down days have kind of trained me to eat healther on my updays. I did this a few months ago for a month and a half and lost 19 lbs. I quit doing it because I have been going thru a seperation with my husband and I just wasn't focused on a "diet" I did however keep the weight off in the meantime. I just started back on it this past Monday and I am hoping it works as good this time! :-)
