Meals that are around 300-500 calories.

Often use chicken as a base. Low in calories, high in nutrition (esp protein)… Add veggies and legumes or nuts… Try to avoid simple carbs, dressing (instead use herbs and spices).

I made this yesterday and have enough left over for tonight's dinner as well.
It's really delicious and very low fat but has a good protein value. Give it a try;

Mixed Vegetables;

185g Chopped raw onion
200g Chopped raw courgette (zucchini)
160g Chopped raw bell pepper (any colour)
190g Chopped raw tomato
Satl/pepper/cumin/oregano/chilli flakes

Put all the veg in a pan with just a little bit of water, add the seasoning and cook over a med/high heat, stirring to make sure nothing sticks to the pan.
Take off the heat when it's done to your liking. I prefer mine to still have a bit of bite so it only took a couple of minutes.

I served this with;

Dry Fried Pork Liver;

290g Diced pork liver (you can use lamb if preferred but it's double the fat and not as much protein)
Salt/pepper/cumin/chilli flakes

Marinate the liver in the spices for as little or as long as you can and then just simple tip into a faily hot pan and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.
I stop while the liver is still quite rare because it carries on cooking in it's own heat and I still like it to be soft and 'creamy' rather than hard and tough.

A half portion of the veg and half the liver contains; 257 cals, 5g fat, 1g sat'fat, 17g carbs, 34g protein, 5g fibre.

I added a 10g sprinkling of spiced mixed seeds for an extra; 62 cals, 5g fat, 1g sat'fat, 2g carbs, 3g protein, 1g fibre.

It was really filling, healthy and tasty. I can't wait for dinnertime tonight to come.
