Im on the blank plan, as I have arthritis in my fingers and hands and find it hard to prepare and cook food. That said without advertising, I buy fresh fruit, veg and yoghurts every couple of days so that it remains fresh. One tip I have learnt never shop on an empty stomach.
I will keep in mind all your ideas for when I am at the maintain stage, thank you.

can't be that flexible as I don't do the cooking! Easier to have porridge (2min microwave variety) for breakfast. Homemade veg soup, sandwich and/or salad for lunch. Weightwatchers meal and extra veg for dinner. Saves the stress of my husband feeding me his sized portions! usually leaves a bit extra for snacks and treats. Not sure it will work for others but keeps me in control0

This week:
Monday: hairy dieters moussaka
Tuesday: fresh pasta and tomato/basil sauce
Wednesday: leftover beef stew pie (no pastry for me!), roasted butternut and broccoli
Thursday: slow cooked spaghetti bolognese
Friday: chicken in light white wine sauce, rice, carrots and peas

We menu plan every week and get shopping delivered on a sunday night, and meals have to be suitable for a busy family of 4. Some nights my boys have evening activities so time is a factor too!

I have to find enough food every day to meet my total daily estimated energy TDEE, which is 2220 kcal a day. Fruit and veg is minimum, as they contain little or no kcal. So, I concentrate mainly on carbs, potatoes aren't high in carbs, so I eat a lot of pitta bread, tortillas, chapattis, pasta and noodles. Also, by concentrating on the carbs, the proteins add up naturally. I usually, overstep my protein intake, but I need to learn to introduce more fat, to balance it out. So, more cottage cheese, fromage fraiche, and olive oil.0

I can see a pattern there... but I can't quite put my finger on it... :laugh:
I'm not much of a planner. I tend to grab some protein - whatever's on offer at the supermarket, or going cheap and then have a think about what it's going to turn into. Go tos are, though, homemade burgers, thai curries, stew or slab o' meat (or fish) and salad. I should plan each week - would save some money, definitely.0
