I agree with someone else who suggested rebalancing your carb/protein balance. I don't think i have a simple carb in the house - no pasta, rice or potatoes. Every dinner is a massive stirfry of lean protein and veggies. I'll mention again - a whole bag of broccoli, a whole bag of shredded cabbage. Last night I did a half bag. Of each.
hmmmm, a good way to get the veggies! I've no problem getting enough lean protien (and I get a LOT), but I do veggies. Since I am home from work during an ice storm I decided to try your approach for lunch as it will be my main meal of the day.

I had a bag of stir-fry veggies and realized that they are only 30 calories a serving! Had entire bag of stir-fry veggies, chicken, and a small amount of brown rice. <400 calories, little fat and few carbs outside of the rice, 5 servings of veggies...thanks for the idea! I tend to get the munchies when the weather keeps me home so this should help prevent that. I do like brown rice, but I don't eat large amounts of it. No pasta or potatoes are in my apartment.

For me it is easy to forget how low in calories veggies are, and I just don't eat enough of them. I wind up in a rut of just broccoli and the occasional lettuce...
