Just had most refreshing, delicious, low-cal dinner...

[Anonymous]

I'm doing Noom, so I am logging everything I'm eating. Tonight I was in the mood for something cold and refreshing and combined:

4 ounces of cold boiled shrimp
1 whole cucumber, diced, peeled and with seeds scooped out
1 whole green pepper, diced
4 cherry tomatoes
Half an avocado
And I dressed it with a whole lemon, kosher salt, and pepper. 305 calories and I'm full!

Why do you scoop the seeds out of a cucumber?

[Anonymous]

When I use English cucumbers, I don't scoop them - but I think my mother taught me to for the regular cucumbers that you peel. I have no idea why! LOL

That sounds like a snack. That was dinner?

If I'm hungry later I'll have fruit or something, but it filled me up. Noom teaches that it's because of the high water content in those foods. Who knows. I wasn't in the mood for anything heavy tonight because of the heat.

I’m impressed that 300 calories filled you up.

Your dinner sounds delicious, and I hope you don’t get too hungry later.

I’m not sure shrimp cocktail on a green salad is an original enough recipe to need to post about it, but it sounds tasty if not especially filling.

My recommendation is to make a Vietnamese vinaigrette with fish sauce, sugar, lime and sriracha, then wrap it all in rice paper with some additional vegetables like radish and carrot. But the rice wraps will add calories.

What about the sugar?

A teaspoon of sugar has negligible calories.

I eat stuff like this all the time but 1.) they're not very filling and I end up wanting a snack in a few hours and 2.) I need way way way more flavor. So I'd do something like sautéed the shrimp in a small amount of oil with paprika, salt, garlic, crushed red pepper, etc... and would add cider vinegar and something sweet.

Flavor profile sounds delightful but I would need to go to bed at 8:30 or I'd need a second dinner. 4 oz of shrimp is not enough protein for me.
