Daily meal plan under

What do you eat normally? What do like?

If you are really struggling to get your calorie allowance each day - why not bank your left-overs for an indulgence at the weekend?

I made my own oatmeal packets recently so I could put in extra super healthy stuff. I put in oatmeal, oat bran, ground flax, chia, dried fruit, and it clocks in under 400 calories and next time I'll use less of each thing to make it smaller because it is too much. You just cover it with water and put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. You could probably find a combo like that for less than 200 calories. Also veggies steamed or sautéed in broth instead of oil is super low, like 50 calories a cup or less. Any piece of fruit is around 100 calories. Soup is really good for this time of year and because it is mostly water almost any kind is a great pick, except the white cream ones. And salad, always salad is a great choice, but be careful with the dressing. I like to water down hummus with the juice from hot pickled peppers. Super low calorie dressing.

Eat what you want really, just make it fit. Personally I avoid starchy carbs if I can, just as a way to save calories, they'll be reintroduced when I hit maintenance!

Breakfast at the moment is usually porridge (and the milk in my coffee) so under 300 calories. Then I might just have a snack or treat and save for dinner. This week I've had a slice of toast with a couple of eggs (poached or scrambled), cheese, sauteed mushrooms. Dinner has been roast lamb, steamed veggies. Often I'll have good quality ready meals and those are even easier to plan with because the calorie counting is done for you.

I usually net around 1400, I bank calories for bigger treats like take aways and I also workout 4-5 times a week to earn more food! What I eat hasn't really changed, just how much.
