Love Thai curry (all of them) so try to eat it once per week/two. If not I usually have some rice with chicken or just a salad with chicken and some salad toppers (recently discovered in sainsbury, delicious and healthy salad topper)0

Lunch is my biggest meal, even when I was dieting I used to eat around 600-800 calories for lunch, and now that I'm maintaining I eat more. Basically, lunch is when I have whatever tickles my fancy that day. Usually some kind of homecooked grain and vegetable dish with some kind of sauce and occasionally dessert. If I order in, it's usually for lunch. It doesn't happen often, but yesterday was pizza with lots of fast food sides.0

Pork steak marinated in paprika and mustard with smoked bacon. It's a long time favorite that always sets things right

ALWAYS do my meal prep on Sunday while watching football. 99% of the time it's a baked chicken thigh (boneless skinless) that I've marinaded beforehand. Now that it's squash season I'm addicted to parmesan spaghetti squash so I load up on that!!! Throw in a few roasted brussel sprouts for color too Now I'm hungry!!!1

This week I had/am having tuna with mayo on ritz crisp and thins crackers. If I am still hungry I have apples and single serve JIF to go. If i'm STILL hungry I have bananas.1

I just bought a packet of frozen Gyozas as they looked pretty low in calories. Thought they'd be good for either lunch or a snack with a little soy sauce.0

Today I’m having baked sweet potato (200g) with a tuna-mayo-sweetcorn mix and a side of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper and red onion0

weekdays I have a salad. This is mostly due to having a fridge at work but nowhere to heat up food. Luckily I like salad.0

For warm weather: A random mix of greens to made the salad base, top off with pan seared chicken, a sharp cheese, hemp seeds, and a vinegar dressing.
For cooler weather: A stew of vegetables(Tomato/Onion base with peas or cauliflower..etc) and protein(chicken or ground beef) paired with a grain(bulgur, jasmine. quinoa).1 -
My favorite! Romaine with a few chopped walnuts and craisins and 2 oz grilled chicken with lite Italian Olive Garden dressing. 150 calories! I do like to add feta sometimes too.2 -
‘Skinny’ Chicken Parm.
Grilled chicken breast topped with tomato sauce and fat-free mozzarella.1 -
Quinoa cooked with chicken broth instead of water, with added red peppers and green onions mixed in. Super yummy and I meal prep it into Tupperware so I grab and go from the fridge to work.2

Today I had a toasted English muffin with ham, egg, and swiss (398 cal) and a scoop of protein powder blended with frozen mixed fruit (200 cal).0

A simple protein shake is my go-to. Anything more than that seems to tire me out. Occasionally a small salad with tuna, or a soup will tie me over if my body is asking for something.1

Just made a big pan of green lentil, tomato and veg soup (wity paprika and chilli) which I’ll match with rice crackers and humous or toast and a boiled egg. Soup season is well underway in my house.0

made this for lunch today. Spicy Turkey Chili....403 calories per serving, 35 g protein. Yes, it's in an ice bath before I put it in fridge. Delicious!
