My all-time favorite is tortillas! Low calorie, filling til my "afternoon snack", and switching to low-sodium turkey has been a plus.
Recipe:
2 Grimm's Fine Foods - Corn Tortillas (90 calories for 2)
Reduced-sodium Turkey Breast Slices - 1 or 2 slices on each tortilla (approx 70 calories for 4 slices)
A small bit of cheese - I use "Kraft Habanero Shredded Cheese" for some heat (approx 80 calories)
Shredded lettuce (approx 10 calories)
Toast the tortilla on one side in a microwave (or oven) for about 30 seconds.
Flip over, add cheese, and toast the second side for about 30 seconds.
Wrap up the tortilla and eat!
Total calories for the two tortillas with 2 slices of turkey on each: 250 calories
They're my favorite.0 -
2 x slices of seeded, wheat free, gluten free, dairy free brown bread (or normal bread... for you non wheat intolerant people... :-) ) I like mine toasted.
1 x poached eggs
2 x lettuce
A couple of small grilled mushrooms
A couple of sliced tomato
Some peeled cucumber
half tablespoon mustard
half tablespoon extra light mayo
half tablespoon brown sauce (HP over here in the UK)
YUMMY sandwich for 320-350 calories. Favourite post work out meal...
side by side with my vanilla protein shake.
Keeps me full for ages.
If i am reallllly hungry I tend to add an extra egg just for that little bit extra.0 -
Google Cooking Light Crock- Chili. I substituted lean turkey to ground beef and I added a can of pinto beans too. Calories are 243 per serving which is 1.25 cups + 1 TBS of cheddar. I ate this with cottage cheese which was another 50 calories. So yummy and easy. My whole family loved it. Good luck.0

Toast one flat-out light bread in a pan until crispy. While that is cooking, in another pan add 4 ounces of diced chicken and whatever veggies you want and season to taste ( I use Mrs. Dash). I usually use broccoli and mushrooms. After then chicken and veggies are done, toss them onto the bread while it is still in the pan and sprinkle a small amount of mozzarella cheese and diced tomatoes on top and put the lid on it so it will melt. Cut like a pizza and consume. I usually never get it above 300 calories (depends on how much veggies you use) and it is VERY filling.0

I'm still experimenting...
Breakfast:
1 Smart & Delicious Tortilla (High fiber 12g, low carb, whole wheat, 9") = 80 calories
2 large eggs (scrambled with Pam - butter flavored) = 80 calories
2 slices of broken up turkey bacon = 30 calories
1/10 cup Weight Watchers shredded cheese (basically a pinch) = 24 calories
Warm the tortilla up in the microwave for a few seconds, put the bacon on the bottom or mixed in with the eggs and wrap it up! VERY filling. Those tortillas are the bomb.
Going to give up the cheese because I couldn't taste it, but you could add in some salsa for only 10 calories depending on what kind you buy. I had to give up the Egg Beaters because they just didn't agree with me. I was feeling very sick after eating them even though it tasted good.0 -
Also made a Creamy chicken & broccoli casserole last weekend. I don't know if the calories are EXACT, but I'm sure they are close...
1lb of boneless, skinless chicken breast (boiled)
1 package of frozen broccoli
1 can of Campbells 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
3 tbsp of Light Hellmann's Mayo
1 cup of fat free shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Boil chicken. I bought a package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts at 1.8lbs so it was a little more in calories, but not much. I cut the three chicken breasts in half and boiled them until cooked. Pull the chicken out and set on a plate. Season with whatever you want. I used pepper, little paprika and parsley.
Mix the can of soup with the mayo. Put the broccoli in the casserole dish. Cut up the chicken into cubes. Put the chicken over the broccoli. Pour soup/mayo mixture over the broccoli. Mix well. Top with the cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Highly recommend cooking the broccoli before baking. My broccoli had a little bite to it. If you like a little bite to it then by all means... I like them nice and soft so I'd cook it beforehand next time.
Serves 4 people. Came out to be 416 calories per serving. I cut it in forths. You could probably do without the mayo and the cheese. You could also substitute in your favorite veggies.0 -
what brand do you buy...always looking for a good tasting gluten free bread0

Sounds good but I would do apple cider vinegar, white vinegar makes me too suseptible to Candida Yeast stuff and liquid stevia instead of Splenda. I normally use olive oil with my apple cider vinegar, but this would work and/or lemon juice too.0 -
Ground turkey breast
salsa (with tomato, onion, etc.), use a lot.
Organic Romaine lettuce
Can of Organic Kidney beans
mix for a "taco salad". No need for tortilla chips/tortillas, sour cream or ranch or anything.0 -
I don't remember who I borrowed this from, but it is really good and easy to make:
The 1 1/2 cup portion
165 calories, 35g carbs, 1g fat, 11g protein, 9g fiber, and 3g sugar
Ingredients:
1 spray(s) cooking spray
1 medium uncooked onion, finely chopped
4 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced
45 oz canned black beans, undrained, divided (three 15 oz cans)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tsp ground cumin
14 1/2 oz fat-free chicken broth, or vegetable broth
10 oz canned tomatoes with green chilis, such as Rotel Tomatoes
11 oz canned yellow corn, drained
( I just use frozen corn instead of canned)
Instructions:
Coat bottom of a large stockpot with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft but not brown, about 5 minutes.
Place one can of beans in blender; add sautéed onion mixture, red pepper flakes and cumin. Cover and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour mixture back into stockpot.
Place second can of beans and broth in blender and puree until smooth; add to stockpot.
Stir third can of beans (do not puree first), tomatoes and green chilies, and corn into stockpot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of soup per serving.0 -

A bit of red, green, yellow and orange bell pepper sauteed with some onion, throw in a serving of deli fresh chicken or any chicken breast and let it cook for a bit. Spread some jalapeno pepper weight watcher spread onto a heated (i do mine in a toaster oven to make it crispier) xtreme wellness high fiber wrap and call it a day. With light original chips and two wraps it is apx. 372 calories and it is a large meal. Going with one wrap you can half the chicken and one of the wraps, which cuts around 126 calories leaving you at 246 calories for one wrap with chips.0
