In case some of you haven't drilled back far enough in the blog here are 68 weight loss lunch and dinner ideas for your review.
Keep in mind while looking at these meals that you'll eat these same 400 calorie lunch and dinner meals while in weight loss mode and in maintenance mode. That's why this system is so sustainable long term. The only difference is the extra calories you get to consume while in maintenance mode. Here are the standard 300 calorie breakfast meals. For me the 'extra' calories is an additional 1,000 daily in maintenance.
The daily servings basis for these lunch and dinner portions is:
3 Proteins, 3 Fruits, 4 Vegetables, and 3 starches
Breakfast in the 300 Calorie Range - 1 Protein, 1 Fruit, 1 Starch
Lunch and Dinner in the 400 Calorie Range - 1 Protein, 2 Vegetables, 1 Starch
for approximatelt 1,100 Base Daily Calories from meals, additional 400 per day in 2 fruit serving snacks/desserts.
Protein servings in the 150 to 250 calorie range (palm size piece of meat)
Fruit servings in the 50 - 75 range
Vegetables servings in the 25 calorie range (fist sized serving)
Starch servings in the 50 calorie range
Replacing starch servings with Ezekiel bread accelerates weight loss.
The rest is in careful choices of the right calories

BBQ Chicken thighs mixed with a cup of mushrooms and onions, with a cucumber, vidalia onion, and strawberry salad with strawberry balsamic dressing, and Ezekiel bread. Chicken thighs have 40 calories per ounce instead of 30 calories in chicken breast. It's really a better post weight loss meal or occassionally during weight loss. I personally prefer thigh meat to breast as it's delicious with bbq sauce.

This is a stewed vegetable mix I make once a week and store in Tupperware in the frige. This stewed vege mix makes a quick low calorie lunch when you brown 4 or 5 ounces of meat, then dump a cup or more of the vege mix in the hot frying pan with the cooked meat. Wait till it bubbles, stir and dump in a bowl.

Grilled Chicken Breast, steamed broccoli and green beans swirled in a dab of light butter with Ezekiel bread.

This is my California Cooking Sherry, Light Butter, and Chicken Bouillon sauce thickened with a small amount of Xanthan Gum with Chicken Breast and a stir fry vege mix from the store and Ezekiel bread. I'd drop the potatoes the next time as this is a filling meal. Don't let the look fool you, this is delicious.

This is the California Cooking Sherry, Light Butter, and Chicken Bouillon sauce with grilled chicken, zuchinni, tomatoes, mushrooms served warm over a bed of Romaine Lettuce. There's a good half cup of warm delicious sauce under that lettuce that makes a great dip for the Ezekiel bread. A pince or two of Xanthan Gum will thicken that sauce to stick to the veges.

This is just another BBQ Grilled Chicken Lunch beefed up with an extra cup of mushrooms and onions to make it man-sized with a small salad and Ezekiel bread. Can you tell I like BBQ? I'd rather make my own BBQ chicken because the majority of the time when you buy BBQ chicken at a restaurant it's completely dried out from laying around all day. Plus it's so loaded with sodium it'll qualify as cured meat.

This is another Turkey Breast fillet cooked like a pork chop in a little light butter and mushrooms. Turkey breast has a similar texture to pork chop and taste very similar cooked this way with a little pepper. This also shows a vegetable mix soup made up in 6 quart crock pot for the week. That's about a 50 calorie dish of stewed vegetable soup. And small salad and Ezekiel bread.

Here's the 200 Calorie Veggie Mix w/Grilled Chicken soup with a large salad and Ezekiel Bread for like 350 calories total. Lot of food for a few calories.

Here's your basic Sirloin Steak and Potatoe meal. That's a 5 oz steak about the size of your palm. Steak is 50+ calories an ounce as opposed to 30 calories an ounce for chicken and fish so you normally have less. Plus you need to limit red meat to twice a week and never two days in a row.
If you want to spice up a steak dish brown the steak on both sides on the George Foreman. Take it off the Foreman and cut it away from the bone into chucks still red on the inside. Pan fry with a few drops of olive oil, Walden Farm's BBQ sauce and minced garlic. It's wonderful. With small strawberry over romaine salad, vine ripe tomato and Ezekiel bread.
