This dinner is 403 calories according to MyFitnessPal. It could probably be a bit more as I didn’t actually weigh the chicken thighs but they weren’t big.
I recently discovered Spaghetti Squash (yellow thing on the plate) and it makes being full so much easier. Half of my bowl is spaghetti squash, so it takes a lot of volume but 200 grams is only 54 calories. Half of the plate here!
If you are trying to do volume eating with getting as few calories for a lot of food, then spaghetti squash is an excellent side. The key is to season it well. And no, it doesn’t taste like spaghetti. But it is delicious!
On the plate: 200g spaghetti squash with a cup of wilted spinach, 2 skinless and boneless chicken thighs braised in soy sauce/lemon juice/sriracha mixture, about 100 g of steamed beans (steamed on top of the chicken), and about a cup of fresh arugula. Lots of food, delicious, and low cal.
