Love trying new things. Also glad that you can freeze it since it sounds like it makes a lot and I cook for one. I think I'll use ground turkey or veggie crumbles instead of the ground beef. Will let you know.0

It sounds good. I'll try it! This recipe reminds me of one of my most effective recipes (for the same reasons). This is copied and pasted from some other thread so the "I" in the instructions is not me:
Barley Beef Skillet
Source: Slightly adapted from Taste of Home
Ingredients:
1 pound 95% lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) Beef Broth
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 cup water
2 small carrots, chopped
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
1 cup medium pearl barley
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. I put my carrots and zucchini in my food processor to finely chop them and I liked the results so I recommend doing that first. I did chop the tomatoes and onions by hand with my awesome new Paula Deen knives (thanks Santa!)
2. Bring a large skillet to medium heat and cook ground beef and onion together, breaking up meat until it is browned. Drain if necessary (it was for me). Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the broth, tomato sauce and water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the vegetables, barley and seasonings.
3. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 45-50 minutes until barley is tender.

Got more and how about snack ideas? 1200 Cal a day is going to be hard to stay with for 5 weeks!
You can do it! I stuck with 1200/day for three months. Lots of veggies (especially broccoli), lean meats (chicken breast, tuna), and the hardest part was staying away from the sweets/junk food. I find it easier to go "all or nothing" - just completely ban desserts except for one serving a week - because the "one bite a day" method just opened Pandora's box for me. Stick with it!1 -
Sounds good!0

And I was just wondering how to get more beef in my diet!0
