   I think w the chicken n veg is around 300 cals u add the rice maybe another
   100 to 200 then another 150 to 200 for that yogurt minus the sugar the
   sugar maybe adds a 100 or 50 by itself but u could use stevia no cals
   added.

   For you at home for the recipe is: 1lb chicken cubed ( id get the hormone
   free veg. Fed kind

   1lb chicken cubed
   3tbsp low sodium soy sauce ( or braggs liquid aminos)
   1/2 c red . sodium chicken broth
   2 tsp corn starch
   10oz mushrooms
   1c sliced carrots
   2c snowpeas
   1 bunch scallion whites
   1tbsp. Chopped garlic
   1 tsp lemon zest
   Scallion greens from the bunch

   Just in case you didnt catch it on the screen and didn’t want to play back
   repeatedly.

   How many people is this recipe supposed to feed? One pound of raw chicken
   is 496 calories. One tablespoon of canola is 124 calories. 10oz mushrooms
   10 calories. 1 cup of carrots 50 calories. 2 cups of snow peas 52 calories.
   Scallions about 30 calories. Garlic about 10 calories. Lemon juice 12
   calories. Chicken broth about 10 calories. Corn starch about 20 calories.
   Soy sauce 33 calories. That’s 847 calories. If you add say 4oz of brown
   rice 124 calories, that’s 971 calories. If the meal is for two, that’s
   another bowl of rice at 124 calories, which is 1095. Half of that would be
   547 calories, which is already more than 500 calories. A glass of white
   wine would be another 121 calories. As for the strawberry yogurt: 16oz
   frozen strawberries 160 calories, half a cup of sugar 387 calories, half a
   cup of yogurt 68 calories. Altogether 615 calories. You would probably eat
   only a quarter of that at one go, say 154 calories. So, half the main dish
   and a quarter of the dessert would come to 701 calories. If you ate the
   lot with one bowl of rice, which is what the video seems to suggest, it
   would be 1586 calories. You’re not going to lose weight that way. I got
   the information on calories from http://www.calorieking.com/

    Is there a book on these 500 calorie meals? I would like to start the 5:2
    diet and on my fast days, I would like to eat one 500, calorie meal that
    day instead of trying to piece 3 meals that total 500, calories together
    for convenience! I could totally rock that as a fast day meal !
