Guessing you're on 1,200? It get's hard doesn't it.
For breakfast I have oats made with water and half a cup of blueberries - got this off of a friend on here and you don't feel deprived as the blueberries have plenty of flavour. Or I'll have two medium boiled eggs, or 150g Total 0% fat greek yoghurt with a teaspoon of honey stirred in.
Lunch is pretty much the same daily, but is 3 servings of salad veggies and a chicken breast or some tuna or ham.
Dinner I can't help you too much with as I have most of my cals then but I'd be going with stir frys, prawns will come in lower than chicken or you could try a small jacket potato?0 -
Oven Roasted Vegetables and Chicken
Using any combination bell pepper, onions, eggplant, zucchini, squash, broccoli, etc. chop vegetables into medium sized strips. Drizzle one tablespoon olive oil on cookie sheet. Season with salt, pepper, and rosemary or basil (or whatever your favorite seasonings happen to be!). Place vegetables on sheet and turn with spatula to coat with seasonings and oil. Place two chicken tenderloins (total 4 oz) on sheet and coat as well. Bake in 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes.....maybe a bit less if your vegetables and/or chicken are cut in narrow strips (they may burn if left too long). Serve over brown rice. You may also add some tiny potatoes to your pan and omit the rice. This is very good and I make it often. Even my kids will eat it!
*The protein portion could be beef or fish. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
** Serves 1, increase amount of vegetables and chicken to serve more people or to have leftovers.0 -

Fish filet wrapped in foil, stacked with any veggies you like. Bell Peppers, Asparagus, Zucchini, Serrano Peppers, Half a potato cut up inside.
Sprinkle some Parmesan Cheese on it so it crisps and burns up, making a delicious crust. Add salsa if you like.
Grill it and mmmm!0 -
Spaghetti Squash! Eat it as your pasta and dress it up with grilled shredded chicken, monte bene pasta sauce (or other sugar free pasta sauce), fresh basil.
I also use spaghetti squash for soup noodles, so chicken noodle soup, in a veggie soup... It is a great way to stay low cal and low carb.0 -
Why? How many "meals" are you eating? Even 5 at 200 only adds up to 1000 calories a day.
Right! Thats what I was thinking0
