    I also live alone and high recommend in investing in some nice tupperware (or glass storage-ware) so that you can freeze portions of low-cal/fat lasagna, stews, spaghetti sauce. soups, chicken, etc. I find that if I'm really tired and don't have the motivation to cook, I just pull out one of my ready-made dinners (that *I* made, so I know what's in it and it isn't loaded with salt) and nuke it. Also, since I portion it out for one person, it's ready to go and I don't have to measure!

    Best of luck to you!

    Just spent 15 minutes browsing eatingwell.com. Looks amazing! Can't wait to try these, and they have 7 day and 28 day plans on different calorie levels. Awesome!

    Salad is always an easy choice. I chop & prep on the weekend so I have things ready in the fridge to toss together. I also made a list of my favorite fixings - different vegetables, beans, meats, cheeses, etc. and keep it stuck to the fridge. Now I can throw something together quick and easy!

    BUY A BOX OF WHOLE GRAIN PASTA. I swear you can do so many things with it. These are my favorite brands - Barilla PLUS and Barilla Whole Grain. Up to 7 grams of fiber per serving and insanely filling and versatile. I use linguine and bow tie.

    Linguine is good for asian-style dishes like teriyaki noodles with grilled chicken or shrimp. OR noodle soups. Some of my favorite recipes are also chicken & broccoli alfredo (there are low-calorie alfredo sauce recipes out there that are frighteningly similar to the real thing) and stir fry veggies with noodles.

    I have been on 1200 calorie diet for about 3 months.. and i live alone.. i just dont know what to eat..
    I have lost almost 30 lbs... just have a hard time figuring out what to fix for dinner is my hardest part.
    any suggestions??

    Hi!! you should check out my Food Diary for the past week.
    My diet has stayed within the 1200 Kcal. and have been eating really healthy. Lot's of proteins for a good work out, lot's of veggies, and very little carbs, to lose the extra pounds.

    You can always reach me at my inbox, if you need any help or have any questions!! have a beautiful day.
