Jilly, the marinated baked chicken breast you turned me onto came out GREAT! Could you please post a few of your recipes? Maybe for the orange chicken and tell me which marinades you're using as lots of them are very high in calories. I finally found a barbeque marinade that wasn't too bad, but the others were very fattening. Let me know which brands you're using if you have time.

Here's for the orange chicken:
I don't really measure things, so I will try to be as specific as possible. I did measure some ingredients yesterday to try for a more accurate calorie count, so let's see if I can remember correctly:

• 1 package (mine was about 1.33 pounds, I think) of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks (I use 99% lean tenderloins--easier to cut into small pieces)
• Marinate and cook in the following mixture (I cook it in a wok so I can add the broccoli all to the same pan):
  • 3-4 T soy sauce (I use reduced-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1-2 white cooking wine
  • 2 t ground ginger
  • 2 shakes crushed red pepper
  • garlic and/or onion powder to taste
  • 3 T honey
• Once the chicken is cooked, add 1 jar sugar-free (or no sugar added?) orange marmalade. Cook and stir until the marmalade mixes with the rest of the sauce and the chicken is cooked.
• Add 2 small bags of frozen broccoli florets and cook to desired crispness.

I made this last night and split it into 4 containers for lunch for the next 4 days. The chicken and all sauce ingredients come to about 260 calories per serving (when using the above amounts for 4 servings--I didn't worry about the number of calories in the broccoli).

As for other marinades, I just use whatever sounds good. The beauty of marinating rather than baking in a sauce is that most of the marinade stays in the bag (or whatever container you used to marinate the meat). I just use Ken's or whatever is on sale. I don't worry much about actual fat grams since I typically have very very little fat in my diet anyway,so I'm not too worried about how many grams come from a few tablespoons of marinade.

I did find a bbq sauce at Whole Foods yesterday that is only 25 calories for 2 Tablespoons and is all organic, which is nice--it's usually hard to find things that are both organic AND low-cal. I had some on my turkey burgers last night, and it tasted fine to me.

B~egg whites scrambled with Morning Star Farms crumbles, lf cheese and rolled in a ww tortilla
S~apple
L~salad with chicken
S~6 Triscuits with laughing cow cheese
S~tangelo (if needed)
D~Italian vegetable pie with green beans

Thanks for the recipe Jill, I'll have to get those ingredients and report back. With the wine, did you mean 1-2 tblspoons or cups?

I just got back from a short trip, so getting back OP:

whole grain roll w/ butter
subway sandwich: dbl turkey w/ cheese, veggies, vinegar
chinese food: steamed chicken breast, steamed mixed veggies, steamed brown rice, then fried by me at home using 1 tablespoon oil
Kashi hot cereal w/ 2 tblspoons walnuts
FF yogurt

total is 1600 calories

Oh, ya know, 1-2 of whatever measuring devide you happen to pull out of your cabinet :dizzy:

I meant Tablespoons...sorry :p
