23 Healthy 700 Calorie Meals

Looking to bulk up or just maintain your current weight? Give these healthy 700 calorie meals a try. They’re full of nutrition, and flavors and are easy to make – perfect for one person, two, or even a whole family.

Have you recently lost some weight – and are looking to keeping the pounds off? That’s great!

We all know that you should focus on low-calorie meals when losing weight. But what should you do when you just want to maintain your weight loss?

Well, 700 calorie meals are the way to go. That’s because, on average, you need anywhere from  2000 to 2500 calories per day to maintain your weight.

So, when you divide that into 3, it comes out to roughly 700 calories per meal.

But tracking all those calories can be a pain. So that’s why I’ve done the tracking for you.

Today I’m sharing 23 Healthy 700 Calorie Meals. They’re not only well-portioned but yummy too.

So, what are you waiting for? Let’s start cooking!

1. Chicken with Broccoli, Beets, & Farro Salad

We’re all so busy. And when we’re busy, we’re more likely to have takeout on speed dial.

But as convenient as takeout is, it’s often loaded with calories. And too many calories means gaining the weight all back.

That’s where my Chicken Meal Prep dish fits in. Cook once, and you have your meals ready for a couple of days.

Not only is it handy, but it’s also full of delicious flavors. The chicken breasts are juicy and savory.

Meanwhile, the oranges and beets add sweetness. So, they offset the broccoli’s bitterness.

And the salad dressing ties everything together beautifully. What’s more, the farro adds nuttiness and extra texture.

It’s also good for you too. It’s a good source of protein and fiber, which keep you full.

And it contains magnesium and zinc. These minerals are vital for strong bones and a good immune system. So if you need to stock up on farro, you can get some here.

And to keep your meals tasting fresh longer, you’ll want to store them in high-quality airtight containers.

I like these glass containers here because they’re good for the environment. However, if you prefer less bulky containers, these BPA-free plastic containers are another excellent choice.

Besides being delicious, this dish is also nutritious. It provides over 30% of your Vitamin A and Vitamin C needs.

So, it’s good for your immune system. And it contains iron which helps keep your energy levels up.

Now, the sodium level is on the higher side. But to lower the sodium, you can use low sodium vegetable broth like this instead. It contains more up to two-thirds less sodium than regular vegetable broth.

To get your tofu crispy, you’ll want to make sure you press your tofu first. That way, you get rid of all the moisture that can make your tofu mushy.

You can do this by wrapping your tofu in clean tea towels. Then place a plate on your tofu, along with a heavy pot on top.

Or, to make things easier, you can use a tofu press. This one collects the water in the outer container, so it is mess-free.

Once you’ve pressed the tofu, cut your tofu into cubes. Then top the cubes with some sea salt and tapioca.

Tapioca helps you get your tofu golden and crispy on the outside. If you don’t have tapioca, you can use cornstarch instead.

Once you’ve coated your tofu cubes, place them in the air-fryer for 14 minutes. Don’t have an air fryer?

You can get one at a very affordable price here.

After a stressful day at work, you want to kick back and relax. And you want to drown your stress with some comfort food.

But a lot of comfort food is loaded with calories and carb. And all those calories and carbs mean wearing your granny pants.

That’s where this Easy Low Carb Cheeseburger Soup comes in handy. It’s creamy, cheesy, meaty, and topped with crispy bacon.

It tastes just like a bacon cheeseburger – without all the carbs. You’ll think you’re cheating on your low-carb diet.

But you’re not. In fact, one serving contains only 4 grams of net carbs.

And it’s packed with tons of fat to keep you in ketosis. Nice!

To make sure your soup has a good texture, it’s best to grate your cheese from a block. This is because pre-grated cheese contains potato starch, which is an anti-caking agent.

This makes the cheese not melt as smoothly in the soup. Not to mention, the potato starch adds extra carbs too.

Love pickles on your cheeseburgers? Feel free to top your soup with chopped pickles.
