RECIPE: Well Rounded 500 calorie meals?

15 years ago

My husband and I started the SlimFast diet last week and are seeing good results. The dinner recipes they provide on the website are all around 500 calories. Most of the time it has the main entree and two sides. There isn't a huge selection of recipes on the site though and I would like new ideas. I've found recipes under 500 calories elsewhere but they only include the main dish and it's time consuming to search for what sides would go with what main course.

Does anyone know where I could find well-rounded recipes for 500 calories? At least a main dish with ONE side.

Did you get the medical check up first? Talk to the dietitian to make sure you get balanced meals. Do you have any health issues? Just starting out cold turkey may not be good for anyone.
