Looking food diaries/inspiration for 1600 cals

CatAMcC

So I have to up to 1600 calories but Im just lost what to do at lunch and dinner. Been told do bigger lunches but then in evenings Im lost. I can't eat lot of eggs due to skin conditions where I have to limit myself.

What does everyone else do? Had done so well over summer but lost my way and just need some help

You can look at my diary, I've been around 1600/1700 the whole time.

if you don't have a lot of calories left just steam a few veggies and serve with lean meat fish or I use tofu because I don't eat meat, and I have even used cottage cheese. or you could stir fry. if you are in colder weather a nice soup and a slice of wholemeal bread. I made casseroles in the winter, lots of veg and no potato keeps the calories down, and if there's leftovers you have tomorrow's lunch sorted

My diary is always open and I'm on 1650 calories. Have been in that ballpark calorie number for months so feel free to look at mine.
I'm a pescetarian so no beef, chicken, lamb or similar, only seafood as my meat source.
Also I get a majority of my calories from what I snack on constantly during the day, so my way of eating may not work for people who just do three meals a day.

Thanks so much! Be good to see for snacks also. As I have lost some weight now need to up and finding it hard to think of what to have other than more chicken! Can't abide seafood - wish I could but can't eat it.

Thanks!

My goal is 1550 and I'm often under it. (The last month or so I've also been over quite a bit -- I'm having some willpower issues.) My diary is public; you're welcome to take a look.

I'm usually about 1400-1700 and I think my diary's public.

Feel free to add me - I'm vegan and eating around 1500/day I find it pretty easy to stay close to my target as long as I don't totally gorge myself on fudge and cookies

Thanks guys!!

Eating more and now just making me even more hungry. I was stressing last few weeks over buying new house so had no appetitie and now its back with determination!

I'm on 1600 and have an open diary too.

Are you logging all your foods? I had a quick look at your dairy, and you seem to be doing OK with the calories. However, you've set your daily carbs at 100, and are consistently over that. is there a reason why you've chosen that carb target? If you need to meet it, then you might need to rethink the oats for breakfast, oatcake snacks etc.

I eat around 1550-1600 every day. Diary is open I do eat eggs though, so ignore those hehe.
