low cal dinners

Okay, so my diet is focusing mostly on simple calorie restriction and aerobic exercise. So far I have lost 4 pounds in ten days (yay!) and I am not sufferring too badly.

Here's the thing though - I try to carefully prepare our dinners and I cannot believe how few calories there are in them. Does this sound right to you?

- Simple Green Salad with low fat/reduced calorie dressing -- 40 calories
- Pepsi One -- 1 calorie
- 1/2 cup of herbed rice 115 (this was from a recipe) cooked with water and a tsp of butter
- 3 - 4 oz of grilled flank steak marinated in worcheshire sauce -- 275 calories
- 1 sliced steamed zucchini with red pepper flakes -- 52 calories
For a total of 483 calories

what do you eat for dinner? About how many calories do you think it is? I would love to get some ideas going here! The only thing I can think of to cook that is low cal is variatiosn on grilled marinated meat!
