lentil/chick pea curry or stew... chick pea and aubergine tagine. bombay aloo saag with rice? <br>I like my food spicey :)

if you want a ready meal, innocent veg pots are good and i think only the indian daal curry one is over 300 cals, the others are around 285ish.

I fill up on acorn squash and butternut squash when I want a fast and lo-cal vegetarian dinner. I slice the squash in half, scoop out the seeds, rub a little olive oil on it, and bake in the oven on a cookie sheet. At 40 cals / 1/2 cup, that's a lot of squash for minimal cals. Put a side salad with it for some greens and you're good to go!

Hi Laura <br><br>I'm a UK based journalist writing a piece on Tweet What You eat. Do you mind if i use this post as an illustration of the sorts of questions people ask on the site? If so, would you be able to send me your age and location so that I can include it in the magazine as a quote? <br><br>Best wishes, <br>Zoe

I'm not a veggie but I do eat occasional veggie meals - we love roasted butternut squash - you roast/steam the halved squash in a tin full of water (covered with foil) in the oven, when its tender you scoop the flesh into a bowl, mix with low-fat creme fraiche and chopped chives, pile it back into the shells and sprinkle with a few breadcrumbs mixed with grated parmesan. Then you just grill until golden and serve with steamed veg! :)

PS its mean to be 271 calories according to the recipe book we use, thats without the steamed veg!

Small Sweet jacket potato (about 100/120g) with 1/2 tub of low fat cottage cheese and either a large salad, or top with steamed/boiled vegetables. (or prawns and cottage cheese is good if wnt more protein) <br><br>Its really filling especially if you bump it up with tons of hot vegetables which are low calorie and fat free!! try brocolli for feeling most full on and sooooo low in calories! :-) <br><br>Thats only a total of about 100cals for sweet potato, 100 cals for the cottage cheese and then you can have tons of salad or veg to make it up to 300cals total. <br>Prawns add only an axtra 30-70cals to the meal depending on size and type.
