Slighly beat up the egg white with a fork, add Wasabi, Dijon mustard and salmon cubes - stir well. Heat nonstick frying pan and form a burger from the mixture => bake from both sides until well done (i.e. if salmon was frozen - fresh salmon can be served slightly raw in the middle).

SNACK - Greek Yogurt with Fresh or Frozen Berries
I won't post the calories and other nutrients here, because it depends on the brand of yogurt, fat percentage and the fruit you use. I like mine with fresh strawberries or fresh raspberries. I also like to eat it with frozen berries (e.g. blueberries) - by putting in the frozen berries, the yoghurt gets frozen as well.
Mostly, I add some cinnamon because I love the taste and it is supposed to speed up your metabolism. I also use full fat yogurt, because the texture is nice and creamy and it is so much more satisfying than non-fat yogurt.0 -
MAKE ME STUFFED PEPPERS
2 large green peppers, halved lengthwise
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup onion, chopped, 1 1/4 ounces
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato, chopped, about 2 ounces
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
2 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping
In a large pot, bring about half a potful of water to a boil. Add the peppers and boil for 3 minutes; drain. In the same pot, brown the hamburger, onion and garlic. Drain the fat and stir in the tomatoes and seasonings. Cook until the tomatoes are hot; remove from the heat and stir in the 4 ounces of cheese. Put the pepper halves in a greased 8x8" baking pan and fill with the meat mixture. Sprinkle the extra cheese on top, if using. Bake at 350º for 20-25 minutes.

Chicken Marsala
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
• 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 small onion
• 1 cup mushroom slices
• 3 T (or so) olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
• 2 T minced Italian (flat leaf) parsley

1. If desired, pound chicken between two pieces of wax paper or plastic (use anything from an old wine bottle to a small heavy pot for this). Season chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Heat oil in skillet and add chicken. Cook until done, remove, and cover with foil.
3. Add onion and mushrooms, cook until soft. Add wine to pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
4. At this point, judge the amount of liquid for sauce for chicken. If you need more, add a bit of broth. Taste, and adjust seasonings. If it needs more salt, this is a good place to add a little Better Than Bouillon, if you have it, for the chicken flavor and salt.
5. Pour vegetables and sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley.

One of my favorite easy snacks for work is Seapoint Farms Dry Roasted Edamame - Lightly Salted
!/4 cup serving:
130 calories, 10 carbs, 4 fat, 14 protein, 8 fiber, 150 sodium
There are also several other flavors like wasabi, I can't remember the others...
I also like Greek yogurt
And when desperate (I have a killer sweet tooth), I will have a spoonful of light whipped topping, 15 calories, maybe 1 carb, nothing else...0 -

Okay, I don't really have much, but I'm going to try here. I don't really cook, maybe on a Sunday night and have that throughout the week This past week I cooked cabbage soup. Cabbage, carrots, celery and cucumber - no salt! Then just cooked it for a few hours and it's delicious!
I also went to the grocery store and stocked up on lettuce, strawberries, mangos, oranges, apples, frozen veggies, sweet potatoes and bananas and cheese. (I'm a vegetarian, so don't know what's up with meat
I checked out every dressing there is...for no carb, I found...mustard (lots of varieties), horseradish, sesame oil, rice vinegar and hot sauce. They had high fiber low carb tortillas too that have more than 4g of fiber per serving.
Also, I personally love smoothies - I'm making one this morning with bananas, strawberries, mangos and some almond milk.
Oh, and one more I haven't tried yet..my friend advised me...firm tofu pressed, sliced and sprinkled with sesame oil and then bake.0 -
Ingredients:
Market Pantry - Roasted Garlic Chicken Breasts Frozen (1 breast from the bag typically makes 2 4oz servings)
*--note, you could also use regular chicken breasts (adjust cooking time) sodium would be lower*
Pace Chunky Salsa
Reduced fat shredded taco cheese
Bake the Chicken as directed on the package. With about 5 minutes left, take chicken out of the oven and measure out your pieces. Typically one breast from the bag will make two 4oz servings though some may be smaller. Once you've cut your pieces into 4oz's, top each 4 oz serving with 2 TBS of salsa and 2TBS of low fat taco cheese. Return to the oven for the remaining 5 minutes to complete cooking the chicken and melt the cheese (leave in a little longer if the cheese doesn't melt all the way in the 5 minutes). Enjoy with a great vege on the side! Whatever chicken you don't eat, keeps well in the fridge for lunches during the week . Plus, once done they are already in nice individual servings easy to pop in a tupperware and take to work.

I'm not much one for recipes either. I cook for one. I usually take a piece of meat or fish and a couple of veggies and call it good. Unless I'm cooking for others, I normally don't bother with a recipe. At any rate, I found this on dlife.com, which is a database of recipes for diabetics.
