Hi everyone!

I'm struggling lose my last 10kgs and I really need a meal plan!

The only problem is everything I find on online seems to be tailored to people with lots of money and time, because I cant afford to stuff my fridge with 100 different things and never make the same meal twice!

Can anyone point me to a really simple, repetitive meal plan with no gourmet healthy super foods and minimal prep time?

Thanks in advance guys!

    Check out allrecipes.com You can enter in one food item ie. Chicken and get a thousand different meals for it. Just look at the ingredients and see if there are some common or basic ones. They also have a lot of low cal recipes.

    My partner and I stick to the following on most days of the week:

    Breakfast: Smoothie (frozen fruit, coconut milk, 1/2 cup oatmeal, pumpkin seeds, spinach, whatever you want!)
    Lunch: Salad with some protein (basically just prep some veggies at the beginning of the week and throw them in there. Add protein (roast chicken, turkey etc). Keep a lunch container handy and bring it all to work)
    Snack: Apple or orange
    Dinner: Salad, roast potatoes, roasted meat (we eat steak, chicken, ribs, pork)
    Dessert: Frozen fruit with cocoa powder

    It may seem repetitive, but we just change things up at dinner. Roast broccoli or cauliflower instead of potatoes, change up the meat, change up what's in the salad or the dressing we put on the salad.

    This generally costs us $100 or less per week. Typically we will go out for dinner one night a week as well.

    A huge part of it is the advanced prep of all the veggies for the salads, and roasting whatever we can with a variety of spices for flavour. AND never buying frozen, processed packaged stuff. Except the fruit. Fruit is crazy expensive.
