    Hi, I am not the greatest cook, but I will suggest a couple of things you can use to base meals around:

    Jennie O extra lean turkey breast tenderloin
    Tyson trimmed and ready boneless skinless chicken breast, right size portion
    Salmon (preferably wild, not farmed)
    Extra lean 96/4 beef
    Tuna fish
    Baked potato
    Sweet potato

    I like to barbecue, so most of the time I am just grilling these up, but I am sure with a little creativity you could produce some good dishes. Just have to be careful about what you add with them. Butter, certain oils, alfredo sauce, etc. can increase the calorie content very quickly, which is why I prefer to BBQ.

    My meal planning may be too many calories for you and you might really hate what I eat everyday. So this won't work very well. it boils down to 'eat what you have been eating already just eat less of it'

    As far as your meals go, I learned to cook (better), use recipes all the time. Find you a recipe(s) you like, you can alter it to add more veggies, more protein etc. Cooking and meal prep should be catered to your tastes, textures and specific flavors you enjoy in your food. You want to learn to eat now just like you will when you move to maintenance, following cookie cutter dieting strategies won't work out very well unless you plan to eat that way for life.

    I eat ground turkey almost every night. Over a giant bed of lettuce with onions, mushrooms and hot sauce. Or hot dog salad. Sounds appealing right?

    Ok, I gotta ask, what is hot dog salad?

    It is chicken hot dogs over a bag of lettuce/greens with laughing cow cheese, jalapenos, sugar free ketchup. Everyone tries to tell me it's gross but I'm trying to get it to catch on.

    I was with you until the jalapenos. Gross :P

    I love ketchup. Does it really go good with the laughing cow cheese? Asking for a friend. :wink: :tongue:

    I hope you are just kidding :) I would be reaching for the Pepcid AC after eating that!

    If i ate what someone else told me, even for an entire week it would be enough for me to quit. Eat what you want and like in the proper caloric portions for your goals.

    Yes, it's fine. I am a ketchup monster as well. Hence the sugar free.

    Well now you have. It's a processed little wedge of 35 calorie cheese. You're welcome.

    Thanks. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

    Since your weight loss depends on calories not type of food a menu plan from someone else won't help much. I eat 500 calorie dinners. Some people eat much more for dinner and some less.
    Take food you like and reduce portion sizes. Fill your plate with more vegetables.

    You can find sample meal plans that fit your calorie goal on the internet. Just search something like 1400 calorie meal plan.
    Or figure out how many calories you'd like to use for dinner and search for something like 300 calorie recipes if thst is what you want.

    http://www.skinnytaste.com has some meal plans I think.

    This week my family will have:
    Cheesey broccoli and potato casserole
    Chicago dogs and baked french fries
    Steak or quesadilla, Spanish rice, cheese/bean dip, apple empanadas
    Egg roll skillet
    Smothered burritos
    Chicken stew
    Pork carnitas

    I've been using emeals to plan because I hate the planning part and refuse to do it.

    I hate the prepping part too, but if there's a plan I will prep.

    This week I'm planning on having:
    1) Shrimp Burrito Bowls
    2) Portobello Fajitas
    3) Fish Tacos
    4) Teriyaki Mushroom Fried Rice
    5) Lemon Broccoli Pasta
    6) Brinner (probably a Russian omelet or chia seed pancakes)
    7) Egg Roll Bowls

    All these options have about 400-650 calories for a very hearty and filling serving. I have almost all the recipes on my MFP. Feel free to message me for details!

    I suggest finding some cooking groups. I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration and ideas just reading others weekly meal plans.

    I also use the free app copymethat to save and store recipes, as well as meal plan for myself. I find that if I already know what I’m having, I don’t get the four o clock, kitten this, blues of Let’s just go out to dinner.

    Also, any recipe you make can be used here to get a calorie count. Just import the recipe and servings and it will tell you how many calories are in it.

    Good luck.

    My typical meal plan for lunch and dinner:
    3.5 - 4 oz of meat. (chicken, turkey, pork loin, beef roast, tuna steak, salmon fillet)
    3.5 - 6 oz of starch (potato, whole grain rice, pasta (2 oz), sweat potato)
    3 - 8 oz of vegetables - I usually fix 3-4oz. of two (brocolli, green beans, brussel sprouts, corn, peas, carrots, whatever else I find)
    Typically 350 - 550 calories. Adjust portion sizes to meet whatever calorie goals I have for the meal.

    I only eat two meals a day and don't snack, and I try to keep my first meal to around 300-350 calories as much as possible. I can really have fun with the remaining calories that way, including ribeye with a green veggie side once a week, two slices of pizza if the craving hits, and a variety of other meals that aren't effing diet food. You don't have to live off of salmon, chicken breast, and zoodles to lose weight as long as you learn how to budget your calories properly.

    ....That said, some salmon sounds AMAZING right now.
