    - Reduced fat yoghurt with strawberries, blueberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon
    - Reduced fat cottage cheese with a sprinkle of allspice, spread on ryvita crackers and topped with cherry tomatoes
    - 1 slice of grainy bread with almond/cashew/brazil spread
    - 1 egg scrambled with a few mushrooms and baby spinach rolled up in a tortilla
    - snack size pack of oven roasted almonds and cranberries
    - salad mix with shredded beetroot and a sliced boiled egg and shaved ham, dressed with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar
    - home made veggie/bean soup
    - 1/2 cup cooked pasta with tomato pasta sauce, mushrooms, baby spinach
    - small serve home made fried rice (lots of veggies stir fried with chilli, garlic, fennel seeds with brown rice).

    About 11 mini bretons & 1 normal laughing cow cheese wedge for just under 100 or double it for close to 200 cals.. You get fat & a lil protien from cheese + whole grain carbs from the crackers :) kids like it too!

    I make egg-white scrambles on Monday mornings and divide by 5 for the week: steam lots of veggies (red peppers, onion, squash, mushroom, tomatoes, spinach, chard - whatever you have on hand), pour in EggBeaters, sprinkle on a small amount of lite cheddar cheese, cook covered. Eat with salsa.

    apple slices with almond butter

    ThinkThin bars about 240 calories each

    salad mix, smoked salmon, beets (already steamed from Trader Joe's) and Trader Joe's Pear Gorgonzola Vinaigrette

    I buy frozen individually wrapped tilapia and other fish. I made some yesterday in salsa and red wine, with instant potatoes and peas and it was about 250 calories. With rice it is under 200 calories. I was lazy and it was quick. Tasted good too.

    I consider these more snacks than meals, but here you go

    Parfait my way:
    1 Dannon Light & Fit® Carb & Sugar Control 4 oz. Vanilla Yoghurt - 45 calories
    3/4 cup Kashi GoLean (original) cereal - 100 calories
    A mix of chopped strawberries, blueberries and raspberries mixed together in a cup

    Red pepper egg sandwich:
    2 slices of red pepper
    2 Laughing Cow Lite Blue Cheese wedges spread evenly 35 calories x 2
    2 slices of lean ham or turkey 30 calories x 2
    2 eggs fried sunny side up 70 calories x 2

    For a light lunch and convenience, I love picking up one of the Ready Pac Bistro Salads at our local grocery store. They're anywhere from 210 to 290 calories each. I'm sure you can recreate them at home for a similar nutritional combo:

    Take some of those prepackaged grilled chicken strips you can buy at the deli counter (or make your own) + add some salsa and some low fat shredded cheese and throw it in the microwave. Eat as is or put it in a tortilla wrap.

    Stuffed cucumber:
    Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Combine the cucumber mash with diced tomato, some fresh avocado, (optionally add diced lean ham and cubed low fat cheese). Add a dash of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Put mixture back into cucumber half.


    Egg Salad:
    2 hardboiled eggs chopped and mixed with a little bit of relish and 1 tablespoon of greek yogurt. Spread on wheat bread or bagel thins.

    My morning normally starts with either 1 serving of Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal (1 serving = 3/4 cup and 100 calories) with 1/2 cup of 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soy Milk (1 serving is 8 oz and 60 calories) or 2 egg whites (17 calories per whites of 1 egg) and 2 pieces of Butterball Turkey Bacon ( 25 calories per slice).

    I have replaced all milk intake with the 8th Continent Light Vanilla Soy Milk and no longer eat regular bacon and that alone has helped a lot along with LOTS of fruits and veggies.

    a frozen waffle (toasted of course) with either a bit of low fat cream cheese, or maybe a thin spread of yogurt, and topped with some fruit.

    Yesterday's breakfast was:

    1/2 c low fat cottage cheese

    Mixed with

    1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 packet of Truvia

    Then I stirred in

    1 diced apple

    And sprinkled 5 almonds on top.

    The whole bowl came up to around 196 calories and it was very filling and tasty.
