Days-of-the-Week Dinners Under 300 Calories

POST A COMMENT »

I try to avoid going body bonkers in the summer but with the season's teeny clothes, it can be difficult. If you've been wanting to slim down with ease, this week-long meal planner doesn't compromise flavor or variety. And go easy on yourself, 4 out of 7 is still a win.

MONDAY: Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers
The figure-conscious answer to fried

TUESDAY: Tomato, Tuna & Tarragon Salad 
A better tuna salad that's easy on the wallet and the hips

WEDNESDAY: Salmon Burger
Like spa dining, except at home and affordable

THURSDAY: Tofu With Ginger-Peanut Sauce
An Asian dish that could turn anyone on to tofu

FRIDAY: Bruschetta Chicken Bake
SO easy, plus that no-fail basil-tomato combination

SATURDAY: Basil Shrimp
In other words, no compromise for staying healthy

SUNDAY: Grilled Pork Chops With Mango Mojo
Get going on the grill with less guilt

    ...I think if you eat over a dozen, it will be more than 300 calories. =)

    jeez, the reason they're under 300 cal is because the portions are tiny. Most people will probably end up eating 3-4 plates of that. Viola, 750+ calories!

    Really? I think they all look kind of gross. I know my kids would not eat any of this :-( I wish some of them looked more friendly and less....questionable.

    Looks good....BUT.. they do not divulge the sodium content. Too much common salt is not only harmful to several body organs, it will make the body retain water. You cannot truly assess a recipe as healthy without noting the amount of salt it contains. Please have the sodium content on recipes you print. Thank you.

    Wow...two chicken fingers and three pieces of broccoli. What is this, the kids menu? My dinners are a healthy 800-1000 calories. I must be doing something right. I've lost 135 pounds since 10/07.
