500 cal meal ideas

J-Fit

Hi guys I'm looking to pick people's brains on this. I'm looking for meal ideas with very high satiety that don't break the 500 cal mark and are predominantly protein based. Egg and cheese omellettes, cottage cheese etc. are on my list but I'm trying to build a bigger repertoire and I'm drawing a blank. Your creativity is appreciated!

i find bbc's good food website great for ideas when you have a craving for certain flavours like indian or chinese or whatever, and have a certain thing in the fridge, like steak, or chicken etc. you can search for your main ingredient then on the right hand side you get options to filter the results and one of those filters is calorie range.

also, i have a weight watchers cook book that's useful for ideas. it gives good breakdowns of nutritional info per portion and also the american version of whatever that new points system is - i don't go by that myself - just calories/fat/protein/carbs, but there's lots of ideas in it. it's called 'weight watchers new complete cookbook'.
