I like to get a lot of food for not too many calories? Just like egg whites bulked up my omlet, I am so happy to have found (AND LOVE!) spaghetti squash! My 9 ounce portion is only 69 calories! Topped with pasta sauce (sadly I had to buy some, all my canned sauce from the summer is already gone!) and paired with an Organic chicken apple sausage. Baby spinach salad on the side with Annie’s Goddess dressing.
I lucked out on the sausage – my grocery store on my way home from work has two clearance spots – one for meat and one for prepackaged foods. I was able to pick up a 4 pack of the chicken apple sausage for .99 cents! I used one for my lunch and then froze the remainder. They are fully cooked too which is nice!
This whole plate comes in at:
- 386 calories
- 15 fat
- 45 carbs
No work out today, I was working on a side project for my neighbor at lunch. Maybe shoveling and snow blowing snow will be my exercise today . . . it just started to snow! See you at dinner: baked shrimp dejohne over noodles with salad.
very nice!!!
I just got spaghetti squash at the store today! We used to eat it a lot when I was little, but I haven’t had it in years. You talk about it so often, you’ve made me crave it!!
I have never had spaghetti squash before but I do love the apple chicken sausage. So good. The meal looks wonderful. Thank for you saying hello!!!!!
That spaghetti squash looks yummy! And with the sausage a great lunch and very filling. Good job. I like the picture.
Spaghetti squash is the best substitute of real pasta…..with almost none cal!!!!!!! Oh….I miss it!!!!! 🙂
First of all, it doesn’t taste like spaghetti! It’s slightly sweet and I tend to undercook mine so its kinda crunchy. I just microwave a small one for 5 minutes, let it sit until I can touch it, and then cut in half and scoop out the seeds.
And I can usually get a small one at my store for $1!
I like eating huge meals too – tons of veggies. Lots more fun to eat 🙂
Only 69 calories?! Woah, I must give spaghetti squash a try! What is the texture like?
I’m a big volume eater too – it’s more fun this way!!
I think you spaghetti squash looks great. i love that stuff. i need to cook mine up tonight!
That’s a great deal on taht sausage! I need to hunt for clearance stuff more often when i’m at the store. 🙂
That is my absolute fave meal!! Once my mom and I discovered spag squash it was love at first sight, or bite, hah sorry that was too cheesy to resist!
