    egg white omelets
    tuna or chicken salad (I love the individual pouches of tuna)
    low carb tortilla, pizza sauce, cheese, toppings, broil

    I like recipes under 200 cal too. Here's a place I found awhile back for that:

    http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/recipes/special-diets/under-200-calories/

    It's the BBC's "Good Food" pages.

    They also have some recipes that are in the 200 to 400 range that can be useful too:

    Good luck!!!

    Special K Cracker Crisps in Sour Cream and Onion.

    27 chips is 90 calories. And the chips are the same size as a potato chip.

    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.

    i tried this today without the almonds ( my child is severly nut allergic so i cant have them in the house) and YUM!
    its my new favorite breakfast, snack, or dessert!!! yum yum yum. thanks for sharing

    Egg Beaters x2 50 Cals
    Lo Sodium Canadian Bacon x2 40 Cals
    FF Low Sodium Cheese Slice 30 Cals

    It's 25 Carbs, 2 Fat, 25 Protein

    I love a poached egg on a piece of whole grain toast. about 190 calories and take 4 minutes to prepare. I eat it a lot for breakfast and/or as a snack in the afternoon.

    yesterday's quickie 232 calorie dinner:

    frozen tilapia filets, 2 pieces (6oz)
    half of a large zucchini
    half of a red bell pepper

    sauteed the veggies with onion powder, garlic powder, some ground red pepper for spice and used zero calorie cooking spray then sauteed the tilapia filets with zero calorie spray and a good dosing of lemon juice. Quick, healthy and yummy! Not super filling but since I workout in the evening after work I usually snack around 4, therefore not needing a large dinner most of the time.

    2 cups baby spinach, 1 cup steamed (then chilled) broccoli, 1 medium apple (cored and diced), 2 tbsps low or non-fat salad dressing (I recommend raspberry vinegarette) makes for a yummy, healthy salad.

    Plain non-fat chobani and about 10 almonds

    Carrots and hummus

    Starkist Tuna Lunch Creation! Be sure to buy the one that you mix yourself--it comes with a packet of reduced-calorie mayonnaise and relish. I skip the relish and use 1/4 of the mayonnaise packet (12 calories) and it's a great, satisfying lunch for under 200 calories :)

    I mix up some greek yogurt with paprika, garlic salt and dill weed and use as a veggie dip. It tastes like a very rich, fattening dip and is far from it!!

    I also like to make flax seed meatballs - they are very good. You can use turkey or lean ground beef, mix in some chopped onion, salt & pepper, cilantro, apple, -- whatever you like in there -- with an egg and several tablespoons of ground flax seed powder. Bake and then keep on hand.

    I am eating this right now and it is really good! I just didn't add any almonds.
