I love to do this for dinner when i want to be full but i still want to have space for snacks afterwards! Typically my first meal of the day will be lunch and somewhere around 600 calories. This will follow up and it’ll leave me 200-300 calories for snacking which is plenty when you know how to snack right!
This is;
– One smashed bagel split in two and toasted (216 calories for the whole bagel)
– 35g of light cream cheese (32 calories)
– 2 thin chicken breast slices (36 calories)
– 15g protein cheese snack bites (70 calories)
– 100g of strawberries (33 calories)
when i’m tight on calories i leave out the snack bites but i must say they help keep me full and only 15g have 5g of protein so i see it as a good additive to keep me fuller! i like to dip them in some of the extra cream cheese too which is why i leave a bit on the plate for me to dip!
personally this is the ideal dinner for me. i cannot get full without eating some serious carbs so the bagel calories are an absolute necessity to keep my mind off food!
if i didn’t have much to eat for lunch/had a smaller lunch then i will have a second bagel when my calories allow it and i crave it!
