    I get lots of salad & veg.. fish not battered or breadcrumbed and lean white meat. lots of bottled water.. hummus to go with my carrot sticks and apple slices. I like a bit of cheese. (mild lower cal one) lots of canned tuna and mackerel for the protein and quick light salad lunch.

    Oats for breakfast... I avoid pies/pastry/bread/pasta/white rice(as dinner item - but allow Rice Krispies as breakfast cereal).

    I limit red meat to once a week and sometimes have quorn instead to make a lower cal version.. ie quorn mince in chilli, replace rice with cauliflower whizzed up in processor to rice/cous cous size only takes few mins to steam in microwave.

    Is cottage cheese low calorie then?

    From what's been said I think I am selecting the right foods then!
