How about Spanish Omlette with mix of veggies youve got in the house and a bit of bacon if you've got spare cals. Chicken Breast and veggies (not pots).

Feel free to add me I am on 1230 per day but I fast twice a week as well, I add lots of my own recipes so if there is anything you would like more details on let me know.

I would also say look at BBC good food as it is definitely where i get most of my ideas from.

MFP has also put my daily total at 1230 (I know you're on 1200) I think it depends on how much you want to lose. My weekly weight loss is set for 1lb a week which is what is recommended, I think as you lose the daily amounts go up in value until you reach your target then its up to you to set your goal as maintaining.

I have quite long spells at 1200 calories (I'm only 5' tall)...

My top suggestions would be:

One:
Make big saucepans full of homemade veggie soup...(this is the easiest thing in the world to make, all you need is water, stock cubes, veggies and salt/pepper)...if you're on a tight budget buy seasonal veggies, hit markets at close of business, or even use frozen veggies (fine if you're blending the soup). Feel free to throw in some beans or other pulses for added protein. Guaranteed delicious. Heat, serve in a bowl over stale bread, add a sprinkle of parmesan and it's a meal fit for a king...

Two:
Get some cheap dry pulses (chick peas, red kidney beans, borlotti, lentils, flagelot, cannellini, haricot, whatever takes your fancy) and soak overnight, then boil up until soft, then spice up with things like chilli, curry paste, cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, tinnned tomatoes etc and make things like spicy beanburgers, rissoles, falafels, homemade baked beans, beany curries, bean chilli, baked dishes etc. Totally nutritious, packed with protein, cheap as chips and low in calories and fat.

Three:
Egg dishes such as poached eggs with grilled chorizo or black pudding (cheap and tasty!); poached eggs with asparagus (seasonal at the moment) and rocket; frittata make with eggs and potato,and whatever's to hand, such as onions, peas, chorizo or salami, etc.

Four:
Potato dishes such as homemade gnocchi served with a simple homemade tomato sauce; potato and bean curry; corn beef hash; baked potato with homemade baked beans

Five:
Lots of seasonal salads and veggies to fill you up - plain old boring salads can be jazzed up with a handful of sultanas and two or three walnut halves; add a sprinkle of parmesan to add zing with hardly any extra calories; add balsamic or wine vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil; include things to enhance crunch and flavour, such as a handful of seeds or stale bread ovenbaked into croutons with a bit of oilve oil and a few sprigs of rosemary. Buy seasonal veggies if you're on a tight budget and put in a plastic bag with a teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt and some fresh or dried herbs, give it a good shake so that all the veggies are coated, and oven bake on a baking sheet until roasted and caramelised. Scrummy! You can do that with onions, tomatoes, courgettes, carrots, beetroots, parsnips, celeriac...the sky's your limit!

If you work, and any of your colleagues are home veggie growers now's the time to offer to take their excess produce off their hands! If they're anything like us they have a glut of rhubarb, spinach, rocket, lettuce, tomatoes, beetroot, courgettes and onions at the moment...they might give you some for nothing if you ask them nicely!

If you're on a tight budget don't forget to put the kids in the pushchair and go foraging...not much in the hedgerows at the moment, but in a few months you'll be able to get tons of blackberries, hazlenuts, crab apples, plums and cherries if you look hard enough...there's nothing more satisfying than making a meal out of foraged grub! At the moment if you're in a rural area your should be able to find wild garlic, horseradish, onions etc. to add flavour to all these dishes!

Good luck and have fun!!!

Some good ideas here too: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/158675-jillian-michaels-s-fat-burning-meal-plan-from-self-com

This one is really straightforward: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html

Thanks for this all the others I had looked at were really confusing. Going on the -10% 20% theory would mean I could up my daily allowance from 1230 to 1360 which us a massive difference so I wont feel so bad about being a little bit over from now on!

Whatever the TDEE is the fact in less calories in and more moving about is going to make a difference anyway

Loads of great ideas here I even made low cal meat balls, cottage pie etc when I was on 1200.Never eat bread have ryvita so did not use lots of calories at lunch and porridge and fruit for breakfast. I did it at lb a week loss for 5 months and it worked for me no problem, plus 30 minute walk 5 times a week-everyone is different. Am sure you can do it.

I hate to look like a corporate shill, and I must say that I have no affiliation with the Hairy Bikers or any companies they work for, but hot damn do I want to recommend their Hairy Dieters cook book! I think some of the recipes are online on the BBC website somewhere, but I have to say, I got the book for Christmas and swear by it! I've tried about 8 recipes so far and they've all been yummy, and they have calorie details for each recipe.

Also, I'm a big pusher of stir fry. I use soy sauce to fry the meat and veg (adds flavour without the kcals etc found in oils), and fresh egg noodles aren't too calorific either. Even if you buy a packet sauce instead of making your own, the meal still comes up pretty healthy. I had a veggie stir fry in sweet chili sauce with noodles a couple weeks back and it came in at around 500kcal. Of course, I pigged out a bit and got spring rolls to go with which bumped it up tad! :P

If all else fails, and if it's at all possible, if you're finding low(ish) calorie dinners difficult, just do a bit more exerise so you can have a slightly more calorific dinner. I know that when I'm planning to eat out/have a fairly big meal, that's what I do. In fact, tomorrow I'm off to my mother-inl-law's, who's single portions could feed a family, so I'm planning to do at least a 5k run in the morning to earn some extra calories for the meal!
