I would love some recipe ideas for quick dinners using light cream chesse! It's got to be foolproof, quick and for 1 person as it'll only be me eating! Preferably low cal for 5:2 fast day dinners.

    I like pasta, salmon and brocoli/pea with some cream cheese stirred through. Plus pepper and lemon.

    How many calories does that work out at?

    I usually fry some chicken breast in some olive oil with garlic, chili or other herbs/spice mixes and stir some creame cheese through - you get different flavoured cream cheeses in light, which make for a nice alternative sometimes..

    I usually have some sort of (boiled) veggies as a side which goes yummy with the sauce!

    That would always depend on how much of each you are using. Weigh everything before you cook it (with oil I usually weigh the bottle before and after I poor some in the pan). I have big portions for my dinner, so you have to find what is working for you - i.e. what amount of pasta/veggies etc will satisfy your hunger.

    ham cubes or sliced bacon
    chopped white onion or green/spring onion
    cherry tomatoes

    then add herb cream cheese

    and I add a bit soft cheese as well

    I eat this with spaghetti :)

    1 portion with spaghetti around 400 cal
