Hey! I have this little problem where I have to follow a 2500 cal/day , but I don't really know what I should do. I don'T mind eating the same thing every day of the week, but I can't find anything satisfying. Also, I'm always really hungry and though I drink a lot of water, it doesn't help much. I think it's because I was so used to eating to the point where I was really really full, that my mind keeps on trying to find that pleasant feel of "fullness".

Anyways, so what I'd need is a a plan of 1 day of food that I can microwave or do really fast in the morning, that has no peanuts(because i'm allergic, I replace with almonds) and that totals 2500 calories.


Any tips? Ideas? Pointers? I try to look on the web, but it's always down to bodybuilding, protein shakes and all.

I'm desperate.

    You and my husband! (although when he's working out it's more like 3500 . . but I digress)
    Here's my super easy go-to day for him ;-)

    Breakfast Muffins (eggs, sausage, sweet potatoes, bacon place in a muffin tin make 20 min at 350, keeps all week easy to reheat on the fly grab as many as you need) They are about 300 cal each, about 9 g protein each, so as many as u need/want

    SweetPotato Hash (bake a truckload of sweet potatoes on the weekend, keep them in the fridge, grab 2 or 3 combine with a package of Adele's chicken sausages (about 550 cal, 48g protein), toss in any left over veggies in the house, zap in the the microwave)

    Pulled Pork (toss a 4lb pork shoulder in the crock pot for 8 hours, couple onions, some vinegar, etc, etc) eat them as sliders, DIY french fries (little red potatoes sliced w/ EVOO and rosemary in the oven 400 20 min) steam up some veggies

    Let me know if that was the kind of thing you're looking for ;-)
