If you choose the second option for serving size in any of the "Calories in Beef, Ground, xx% Lean Meat / xx% Fat, Crumbles" food choices, you can see the stats of the raw meat.  The portion sizes are 1/2lbs, but if you multiply/divide based on how much raw meat you are using, you can figure it out.  See below for example:

I'd go for the Chicken Satay... it's barbequed, not sauteed or fried like the rest of their dishes.  Also, the sauce is on the side, so you can use as much or as little as you like.

only a teaspoon of vanilla yogurt? i wouldn't even taste it...

I think she means a teaspoon of vanilla extract, not vanilla yogurt.  You'd definitely taste it.

Here's a lighter version from the South Beach Diet Holiday Cookbook: 

Make-ahead tip: The latkes can be made up to 6 hours in advance and kept covered at room temperature. Reheat on a baking sheet (preferably dark-bottomed) at 375°F until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Prep time: 10 minutes
Start to finish: 10 minutes

Ingredients
1 medium zucchini (1/2 pound), ends trimmed
1 large sweet potato (3/4 pound), peeled
1/4 cup minced onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
Unsweetened applesauce (optional)

Instructions
1. Slice zucchini lengthwise and remove seeds. Coarsely grate zucchini and potato in a food processor or with a hand grater; transfer to a medium bowl. Add onion, egg, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
2. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working with half the mixture at a time, add zucchini-potato mixture by heaping tablespoons to skillet, gently flattening with the back of the spoon as you go. Cook until the edges are golden, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip and cook until bottom is golden, about 1 minute more (adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning). Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and remaining zucchini mixture. Serve latkes hot with applesauce on the side, if desired.

Do you have a microwave?  You could try making eggs in it... I take 1/4 cup egg whites and microwave for 1 min, add cheese and microwave for an additional 30 secs.  You can also make turkey bacon in the microwave (you are allowed up to 2 pieces per day on SBD). 

These don't come up on this site, but I HATE when people use times or minus as verbs.  It's multiply and subtract... I actually used to have a math teacher that said these things "Now times it by 3"... how annoying!!

Hi all... just checking in.  I did really well yesterday... I ate healthfully all day, despite the MOUNDS of food (cupcakes, and cookies, and cakes, oh my!) in the kitchen at work left over from a weekend reception. 

I've actually lost about 2 pounds since sunday, so I'm feeling good!  :)

fiber one has 210 calories for a 1 and 1/4 cup serving.

FYI: Fiber One actually only has 150 cals for a 1.25 cup (60 cal for .5 cup serving).
