@Stacebob85 I couldnt agree more about the Hairy Bikers cook book, I got mine from the book people and I think it only cost me a fiver - I 100% recommend their Mediterranean burger, it is delish and healthy too! I also love the lamb and spinach curry, the spanish fish stew, actually I am just listing everything thats in it now! Yes I agree buy it!
Yep, if you are getting the Hairy Dieters' cook book the Book People is cheapest, have search for free P & P code as well0 -

2 Scoops walls vanilla soft scoop with tsp of honey drizzled over :bigsmile:
Usually have enough cals for a 2 finger dark kit kat too!0 -
...have ryvita so did not use lots of calories...
One of my top tips too! Ryvita's low in calories and the fibre really fills you up. I often have Ryvita and ham for breakfast (four slices topped with ham comes in around 200 calories). Also great with cottage cheese (Longley Farm is my favourite - can't be doing with the low calorie watery stuff!) or baked beans.0 -

V similar to mine but I have around 1500 calories a day so also have a glass of wine and another snack (couple of chocolate oat cakes or half a melon - massive but low calorie!)0 -
Here are some of my standbys.
Soupe Au Pistou (under 200 cals)
Essentially boiled vegetables with a dollop of pesto to flavour the broth. If you google the classic recipes, they contain dried legumes which ups the carbs and calories. I normally just use a bag of frozen veg with homemade pesto and maybe a chopped tomato. If homemade pesto is too much work, get it from a trattoria. Recipe I use for homemade is here: http://www.food.com/recipe/pesto-marcella-hazan-448339. It freezes well.
Frozen Veg + Pan Fried Protein (under 400 cals)
I normally do this for a packed lunch at work. 100-200 grams of frozen veg + some protein. Protein could be lean steak, chicken, or fish pan friend with an olive oil sprayer to keep the oil content down. Flavour the veg with a little dollop of chilli sauce, salsa, pesto or whatever.
Salad + Pan Fried Protein (under 400 cals)
Replace frozen veg with salad. You need to be a bit careful with what you dress the salad with. Classic vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar or lemon juice. Some lower fat alternatives are 1 part buttermilk to 1 part mayonnaise with garlic salt and dried herbs. Or 1 part soy sauce, 1 part balsamic vinegar, 1 part sesame oil.0 -
