  • Soup IS my go-to food, whether in a hurry, feeling lazy, or needing to curb the day's calories. Progresso Lite Soups are what's currently crowding my pantry. They are less than 100 calories a serving, and decent quality. They are also cheap, recently on sale for $1 a can. That's why my pantry is crowded with those cans!…

  • After too much research, deliberating, hemming and hawing, I bit and purchased a Vitamix 7500. QVC is offering it for the same price as the Vitamix factory site, on 3 payment easy pay. NOW, what to do with it once it arrives? Anyone have recipes for soups or smoothies? I've never tried a Kale smoothie. Are they worth the…

  • http://400caloriesorless.com/ This is a favorite of many who post to the boards here at MFP. Type 300 into the search menu to find a handful of recipes that come in at 300 calories, on the dot. OR, modify recipes or serving sizes on the lower end of 300-something and you'll come in pretty close.

  • Scallops, shrimp, real crab and lobster are all super low cal, high protein options. When I am feeling deprived and ready to cave, I instead reward myself with a luscious seafood splurge. It does wonders for my emotional commitment. Adding Laughing Cow as a flavor enhancer to low cal sauces (ie to Franks Red hot) is…

  • I LOVE the Cioppino. I take the stew as a base, add additional low fat seafood (ie shrimp or scallops), and stretch the number of servings I get from a package. Suggestion: remove the seafood, heat the gravy, then add the seafood, shrimp & scallops last, to perfectly cook each. Cioppino Fish Stew Serving Size: 1 cup,…
