    Not sure about dinner for 245 calories, but if it was me, I would go and do some exercise that burned 250-350 calories so as to have closer to a 500 calorie dinner.

    Otherwise, maybe a marinated, baked chicken breast with some salad?

    I agree, take the Zumba class even if you're tired. I did that the other day, and was so glad I did. I felt more energized after class.

    If you don't to work for extra calories, then my dinner is 4 oz turkey breast, salad and dressing for around 220 calories.

    Make an egg scramble- 2 eggs plus add a ton of veggies and maybe some cheese if you can afford the cals. I make an egg fritatta with eggs, tomatoes, spinach, onions, 2tsp olive oil and a sprinkling of goat cheese... delish and only around 250 cals

    Could you walk for 30 minutes? that should burn about 225 or so...salad with chicken is probably your best bet.

    Yep - Same as everyone else! I would work out and burn some calories (maybe even do some heavy duty cleaning to burn calories if you don't feel like leaving). I would just get moving :)

    Lean cuisine works for me, there are some that fit your calorie needs. Whatever you do, don't beat yourself up about it, tomorrow is a new day, think positive and you will be ok, good luck!!!

    I'd get in a work out if it were me, but if that's not an option I have some go to meals at home. The Gorton's Grilled Fillets (in the frozen section) are only about 80-100 calories depending on which one you have. Couple that with a salad or some frozen veggies makes for a fairly low calorie meal.

    Veggie stir fry....that should stay under 200 calories, depending on the sauce used.

    Thank you all sincerely (I love this site, people are so helpful), took on board the majority of suggestions and went to Zumba (even ended up being quite funny, new steps and everyone was tripping over each other) and had grilled chicken with salad.....I have become addicted to Franks Extra Hot sauce and splash everything with it........I don't think it's too bad on the calorie scale....but feel better for having done some exercise.
