Thanks! That's a great idea! No more half fruits in my garbage! :)

I used to buy a big bag of tyson frozen chicken breasts (100 cals each), microwave one, chop it up, and roll it up in a pita with barbecue sauce and a ton of veggies. Then, I'll usually have a cup of low cal yogurt or a handful of nuts. The whole things runs about 300-350 cals, and it's REALLY satisfying :D.

I had a couple more ideas;There's instant containers of couscous at my supermarket that taste really delicious. You could also do any kind of stir-fry (and pair it with whatever noodles/rice you want). I've also noticed, personally, that I'm much more satisfied with what I eat when it's visually appealing, so recently at home I've been eating fruit skewers for dessert or colorful grilled vegetable skewers.

You can also try slicing a yam very thinly, placing those slices on a paper towel and then microwaving them for a couple minutes until firm. These are very delicious chip substitutes that you can season with any flavor you want.

Sometimes I make tuna salad out of canned tuna, tomato and onion with low calorie dressing. It's still technically salad but it's more interesting sometimes to leave out the lettuce.
