I would suggest eating 1600 calories a day, and cutting out white bread and pasta.
Eat celery and peanut butter, air popped popcorn, chef salad with 2 ounces of lunch meat and some yummy fat free oriental dressing (add a tbsp of almonds for protein and good fats! It will help you feel satisfied too).
Other options are quesadillas (one whole wheat flour tortilla with 1/8 cup 2% shredded cheese is a suggestion, it's YUMMY and satisfies
) and tomato soup.
use 1 tsp of olive oil and roast 1 cup of broccoli florets, 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves and about 2 cloves of garlic for 1-3 minutes. Add 4 ounces of chicken that has baked in the oven (Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the chicken on a piece of foil that's on a baking sheet and then use the foil like a bowl. add ground cumin, basil and some chopped garlic. add 1/4 cup of water then close the edges of the foil over the chicken. bake for about 40 minutes, take out and let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting in to bite size pieces.)
Use some teriyaki or barbeque sauce in the stir fry for a twist!
You can eat the whole shabang per person for only about 250 calories (this will FILL your plate) and add a salad for only another 50 calories if you use 2 cups of salad mix or lettuce and 1 tbsp of fat free dressing.
You can cook chicken the way I mentioned and use it for tacos too! I use old el paso taco shells because they have no hydrogynized oil and they are 150 calories for 3 shells...
Use TONs of salad mix and salsa to dress the chicken tacos and you can have a mound of food for about 350 calories!
I really find it fun to come up with delicous ways to eat and still be healthy, can you tell? LOL
