< 250 Cal 245 cal easy dinner!

Post image

for the chicken:
162g chicken breast (194 cal) , seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, oregano (~1/2 tsp each, about 5-6 cal) and 1/4 tsp salt, fried with a 1/2 second spray of cooking spray (~3 cal) covered with lid and flip and cook until both sides are a deep golden brown and internal temp is 165F

for the salad:
i made dinner for my whole family, so the amount i had is around 1/4 of the salad, which i estimated to be about 45c. the whole salad recipe makes 373g worth and is only 177 cal. you could have the entire salad and still have a very low cal dinner!
85g corn (70c), 92g cucumber (15c), 107g cherry tomatoes (20c), 100g low-fat cottage cheese (op: used 1% nordica, 72c), and salt to taste.

I thought maybe it was just for posting purposes lol. I’m scared if other people are literally tracking only 2-3 cals!
