What kind of cheese are you using? I love cheese but 2oz of cheddar for a sandwich is over 200 cals even before any bread and oil/butter to grill it in.
Not the one asked, but thought I would respond.
Maybe not a "bomb" but it does the trick. Some salsa to dip it in and it hits the 200 cal mark.
@Tacklewasher Where do you get this bread? The stuff I buy is 80 calories a slice (generic bread from HEB). Do you spray the Pam on the bread or the pan? I tried it on the pan and the sandwich was so dry.
A good thing on grilled cheese is a sprinkle of onion and garlic powders right after they done cooking (or after one side is done, the powders burn easily). Add just a little salt if you want to make the flavors really pop too.
I use Sara Lee whole wheat 120 for two slice or Sara Lee Delightful, 90 calories for two slices. Depending on what I have at home I use shredded cheese or the ultra thin slices of cheddar cheese. I do add garlic and onion seasoning, but I add it on top of the cheese before cooking,
I think I'll switch to Sara Lee bread then. I know it's available here. I'll try adding the garlic powder on the inside of the bread too. Probably less messy to eat that way too.Tacklewasher wrote: »Tacklewasher wrote: »gamerbabe14 wrote: »Grilled cheeses. I can make a bomb grilled cheese for less than 200 calories.

I'm in Canada. Superstore. Their Blue Menu bread. It's just normal bread sliced thinner, but it works. And just their No-Name cheese slice. I've got a sandwich maker so I give each side a quick spray.
Ah. I'm in the US. No Superstore here. I do buy store brand American cheese (I prefer cheddar, but American melts better in grilled cheeses for me) and it's 70 calories a slice too.0 -
Velveeta cheese slices are 40 calories. I've made toasted cheese with that and an Arnold's sandwich thin for 100.Pam spray and in a counter top grill. Yummy and either have tomato soup or 2 sandwiches.2

Next time weight it before you whip it then come and tell me its 40cal for 4 tbsp.
I think you don't understand how this works. 4 tablespoons of whipping cream, whip it, divide it 4-5 ways. Voila.
Again, weight it.
Weight it before you whip it. After you weigh it, see how heavy it is, weight whatever you eat and tell me the calories. Dont measure solid things by cups or spoons.
The calories do not change because air was added to it. I don't know if this is a communication issue or what, but I'm done.
Indeed whipping creme and cool whip are surprisingly low calories per tablespoon compared to my expectations.
I admit that my experimentation has been limited to cool whip.
But let's just say that after I double checked how many tablespoons I had logged for a tub from start to finish, the next tub I bough I weighed the whole thing before digging in, and I have subsequently logged my cool whip based on the weight of what I use @ 4.5g per tablespoon (approximately 1000ml and 300g is the content of each tub, yielding approximately 66.67 tablespoons)
Just like with peanut butter... it is surprising how much cool whip I would LIKE to include in "one" tablespoon, compared to the more correct value of 4.5g per tablespoon of cool whip3 -
Star Fruit - 40 cals for a large one. I guess it's all just water?0

Good ol chicken breast. If cooked with the right ingredients, you can have a heaping amount for not a lot of calories. My favorite is mixing in some light mayo with some korean spices, giving it a good sauce to toss the chicken in. I eat it with a huge serving of steamed cabbage on the side
Also, don't kill me, but slim jims. 40 cals for a small stick, I eat 2-3 when I'm really craving it!
Lindy's watermelon italian ice is also amazing, clocking in at only 100 cals for a cup.
I love this thread, will definitely pick up some items that were mentioned!3 -
I'm come to learn the calorie amount isn't my biggest struggle - it's the serving size I tend to eat

I love making a taco baked potato with ground turkey taco meat, sour cream, tomatoes, salsa, and whatever taco toppings I have around the house. They're so filling and feel indulgent for so few calories.
I agree- this is one of my favorite meals only I use Greek yougurt in place of the sour cream. So good! I also eat the entire potato

Mushrooms !!!!
Seriously I could eat a whole bowl...... with just a tensey bit of olive oil, garlic... dash of red wine.....mmmmmmm !
Turkey bacon cooked crisp in the microwave.

I second mushrooms - especially king oysters, they are HEAVEN when grilled with lemon, olive and garlic and served with parsley.
Don't know if it has been said, but turkey ham would be the second (the traditional / homemade one, not the hyperinjected one in supermarkets). The cals (like 90-95/100g) are almost entirely from protein.1
