    steel cut oats (oatmeal) 150 calories per 1/2 cup dry. Add on an apple for 60 and maybe a protein shake or something. Thats just under 350:)

    The 35 calorie wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese with 2 slices of sara lee 45 calorie wheat bread makes a killer grilled/toasted cheese sandwich. If you make the grilled cheese version, you can use non-stick canola cooking spray or a light oleo spread and it would probably be less than 150 calories. Add some grapes or grapefruit or apple or even apple sauce and you would still be way under 350.

    i don't have a photo but i found this recipe in my "clean eating" magazine a couple of months ago and i have made it a couple of times on the weekend and it is wonderful!

    Blueberry Cheese-cake stuffed french toast casserole

    spray 9 by 13 pan and line with whole wheat bread slices

    in food processor make filling...
    1 c low fat ricotta (i used cottage cheese because that is what i had and it was fine)
    1/2 c neufchatel cheese
    1 lg egg
    2 T brown sugar or evap can juice

    process until smooth and spread over bread

    top with 1 3/4 fresh blueberries

    top with more bread slices

    in another bowl...
    mix 3 lg eggs, 1 T brown sugar, 2 egg whites, i cup skim milk, 2 t vanilla, 1 t cinnamon, 1/4 t salt and pour over the bread

    put 1/4 c unsalted almonds slices in a baggie and add 2 T brown sugar. crush with rolling pin and sprinkle on top

    cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 min, uncover and bake for another 15 min or so.

    with the leftover blueberries i made a blueberry sauce by simmering in just a little bit of orange juice til it was reduced down and spooned a lttle on top.

    it says 285 cal for 3'by 4' slice but you can have a little bigger than that because the recipe called for 13-14 slices of bread and i only used 12 :wink:

    Place a raw egg in a pan.
    Add enough water to the pan to cover the egg.
    Add enough heat to the bottom of the pan to boil the water.
    Let the egg remain in the boiling water for 6-10 minutes.
    Remove the egg from the pan.
    Peel the egg.
    Eat the egg.
    Yields one serving, approximately 75 calories.

    Or.
    Go to Denny's.

    wow im sure that took more time than ACTUALLY providing useful information. If I wanted to search for something I would have done it. A recommendation for a peer is far more valuable than advertisements from a generic search engine. SO how about this next time... http://tinyurl.com/yec5txt

    I really like www.skinnytaste.com. Lots of the recipes are already in the database here. My family has enjoyed the Sante Fe chicken, carnitas, lasagna roll-ups, and several soups.

    . Good for you! I've noticed people being more catty in recent days than when I first got on here. I know people like to have a sense of humor, but if someone is asking for help or advice, we need to give it. Support is basically the whole point of these forums. Why cut someone down just so you can amuse yourself? Especially when its a decent question. I can google with the best of them, but I've gotten some of my best meal ideas from people of this site. Again, I know people like to joke and everything, but some things definitely seems unnecessarily catty to me.

    Except my link did provide exactly what the OP requested.

    Someone needs a sandwich.
