Can anyone share some daily menus and what your calorie goals are for each meal (if you have them)? Just looking for some new inspiration! Thanks!

    A typical day: I have two slices of toast with cheese spread in the morning, with one or two cups of coffee, (around 300 calories), for lunch I eat half a cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, a bit of ham etc, and more tea/coffee, (around 200 calories), for dinner I have lean mince beef bolognese (100g or so), a whole spiralized courgette (zucchini) - around 250g, and 10g of cheddar cheese - around 300 calories, and for snacks I’ll have yoghurt with high protein granola (300calories) and around 200-300 cals of chocolate in the evening. 1300-1400 cals per day.
