Im thinking about picking up some portobellos tonight and making my version of a pizza. Going to take the stems off and scoop out the inside. Then put in a smidge of pizza sauce and a smidge of mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melty, delicious!0

Tuna, mackerel, salmon, and sardine (fresh or from a can) preferably in water, not in oil and then mixed with some low fat mayonaise. (only 15 calories a spoon, less than 1g fat) Put it on some melba toast or in a salad.
That's apart from all the things you already mentioend of course!
Oh and 0% fat milk and yoghurt, too. Great to fill up with.0 -
Quiche!!! You can change up alot of veggies and protien meats with that. Tuna salad, Burger wraps, chicken soup made from scratch using Low Sodium Chicken Stock....hmm....0

Seafood! Canned tuna, salmon, crab and baby shrimp aren't too expensive!
Mayo
Olive oil
avocado
berries
quinoa (I use it instead of brown rice, higher protein)
Dark chocolate
dreamfields (low carb) pasta
Spaghetti squash
almond butter
That's about all I can remember right now...0 -

I've done this before! Only tip is that mine came out watery, so you might want to crisp up the portabellos in the oven before adding toppings. I was inpatient :P0 -
Okay, mouth watering here on the portabello pizzas!! I am going to have to try it. Recipe? Anyone?
I am not the best cook...but I can follow a recipe like a pro. LOL :bigsmile:0 -

If looking at it from a low carb perspective go full fat mayonaise and stay away from milk and switch to heavy cream. Any yogurt should also be full fat and preferrably greek to keep the carbs down.0 -
Get some part-skim ricotta cheese; Start with 1/2 c. and mix in 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 single serving packet of Equal, and a dash of espresso powder. Mix well. Makes 2 servings, 130 calories, 7.5 g. protein, 7 g. fat each. Great dessert!! (from The South Beach Diet)0

I love Jennie- O turkey breakfast sausage. 90 calories for 2 and no carbs. Great for breakfast with eggs or egg whites. I add spinach and mushrooms to my eggs.0
