Ideas for 500 Calorie Dinner Meals Every evening at dinner time I feel hungry, rushed, and discombobulated.   Frankly, I’m a complete mess.   The day is unwinding, my children are tired and starving, and I keep going through the list in my head that I didn’t get completely finished.   Most of my clients voice that they feel the same way with the addition of the considerations of likes and dislikes of the family they are cooking for or eating with. I always think a great rule of thumb is to keep a meal less than five hundred calories with snacks fewer than two hundred.   Here are some examples of some five hundred calorie dinners I put together.   Take a look and try them out.   Are you surprised by the amount of food?
