  • Yup, it will account for a substantial amount of the kcal in this meal.
  • Greek yoghurt with fruit and nuts Rice cakes with peanut butter Banana bread A protein pancake A piece of protein cheesecake Protein bar Fruit salad A piece of chocolate ..yes I like to end my day on a sweet note
  • Chicken with grilled eggplant and zucchini, roasted butternut squash, a Moroccan spiced chickpea tomato and spinach stew, herby yoghurt dressing and pomegranate arils Couscous with chicken, dried apricots, roasted cauliflower and carrots and almonds Chicken, mango, green beans, broccoli and a curry dressing Chicken, goat…
  • Veggies, fruit and beans I think are my main sources of fiber. And then some muesli, carbs like rice, potatoes, wholewheat pasta etc. of course. I tend to hit around 35+ grams.
  • I second everyone suggesting to just have a small piece of cake or a cupcake. But as you asked for alternatives, how about making a protein cheesecake or a quark cake using quark, fresh fruit, gelatin and an oat/date base? You could also turn your favorite bananabread recipe (if you have one) into a cake?
  • The easiest thing I can think of is to buy pre-cut veggies and meats and start making stir fries and pasta dishes that way :)
  • I'm pretty much where you are: seeing a psychologist and have reduced the frequency of my binges to about once every week. I find I am most likely to binge if I have been eating irregularly and so/or am very hungry. So I really try to eat every 2-3 hours. I also binge when I am stressed or when I don't know what I want to…
  • Dairy: - Low fat quark - Low fat flavored quark - Almond milk - Eggs - Usually some feta or cottage cheese Meat, fish, poultry (usually 2-3 of those): - Chicken breast - Extra lean ground beef - Prawns (freezer) - Smoked salmon or trout - Canned tuna - Canned ansjovis or sardines Fruit & veg: - Bananas - Berries - Apples -…
  • Not sure about camping food on a 2 week hike, but as for 'general camping food' assuming you have something along the lines of a bbq and a shop available: skewered chicken with grilled asparagus and Greek salad; baked beans (white beans, tomato sauce, oregano, feta cheese) with grilled prawns and salad; tuna steak with…

  • I usually go for a tub of quark and a piece of fruit or cracker with whatever I fancy and still fits my macros. I like keeping a stack of protein pancakes in the fridge too to quickly heat up and fill with whatever.
  • Prawn curry, chickpea tagine, Greek prawns with baked butter beans in tomato sauce with feta, sesame salmon zoodles, zoodles with mussels and cod in an olive tomato sauce, cauliflower kedgeree, fish or falafel tagine.
  • First off, congratulations on your weight recovery. It's a huge step already, especially with such poor help and support from the professional world. I am myself on my last stretch of therapy. I was diagnosed with EDNOS about 3 years ago. My lowest BMI was 18 with a body fat percentage of about 8%. Like you, I have…
  • For me adding something sauce usually helps. Whether it be a fruity salsa in summer, or zoodles tossed with some tomato sauce.
  • Pasta (or zoodles) with a canned tuna tomato sauce Curry or tagine using chickpeas as a protein source Curry with boiled egg for protein Chili (lean ground beef, 2 types canned beans, canned tomatoes, some onion, bell pepper and spices) Tuna salad (lettuce, canned tuna, apple, tbsp yoghurt, red onion, bell pepper, possibly…

  • A bowl of (flavored) yoghurt, a protein bar, rice cakes with hummus/cottage cheese and honey/jam/avocado/egg, a piece of (homemade) banana bread.
  • Daims. I don't particularly like Daims. Instead I'll have my piece of French chocolate with nougat tonight and my nutella sandwich :#
  • I feel inclined to repeat what has been said before: if you don't know how to hit your daily 1000kcal goal, you wouldn't be on a 1000kcal diet trying to lose weight. As for 300 post-dinner calories: Greek yoghurt with nuts/fruit/honey depending on your macros. A protein bar. A piece of fruit. Pancakes. Peanut butter spread…
  • Honey-soy glazed sesame salmon is divine. I also like making a pasta dish with prawns in a spicy tomato sauce with sautéed bell peppers and just a small tbsp of light crème fraîche. Or make a herby tomato sauce with cod, mussels and olives. Whole oven baked trout with lemon and rosemary is a definite summer favorite.
  • I always make sure I plan a 2-300kcal snack after dinner because I know I'll be craving something sweet. Usually this will be high protein and seeing I always and up short on fats, high fat too. So I second rawhidenadz: fit it in.
  • Any other shake/smoothie: eg. banana, mango, OJ and coconut milk; berries, banana and yoghurt; banana, peanut butter and milk. Omelet with ham, fried egg with mushrooms, sundried tomato and feta on toast, boiled egg on avocado toast, cheese omelet, Greek yoghurt egg salad, Greek yoghurt with fruit and nuts, scrambled egg…
  • Add flavorsome ingredients like feta or goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, olives, beetroot, artichoke hearts, meat/poultry/fish/egg etc. Then spice it up with fresh herbs. If you find your salad too dry: add 2tbsp of cottage cheese. Want a dressing? Try harrisa+OJ, lemon juice+mustard, buttermilk+fresh herbs,…
  • If it's a bite of a full meal, I'll either log some extra calories through quick add, or add a little more in my own meal (eg. 10 extra grams of chicken and 5 extra grams of pasta if I were eating chicken pasta or so). If it's a bite of something with a clearer portion like the wonton, I'll indeed just guesstimate the…
  • I usually bring salads to work. I tend to do most of the prep work at the start of the week and add some final ingredients later on if need be to stay fresh. Simple options I like include: - A variety of tuna salads (chop all the veggies (I use red onion, bell pepper, capers and apple) up front, then dunk in a can of tuna…
  • Start simple. Teach yourself the basics: how to grill or pan fry a chicken breast, 3 basic spice/flavor combinations (e.g. Italian, Asian and Middle-Eastern), how to cook pasta/rice, how to prepare your favorite types of vegetables. Now start combining and make use of canned ingredients. Spaghetti with canned tuna and…
  • I second the Indian idea. Otherwise I'd see if you can get a puttanesca or other tomato based (not bolognese) pasta dish at the Italian, just ask them not to add any extra oil or cheese. The Chinese place may have a lemongrass or ginger dish with chicken or seafood as a protein, these are usually less sauce-laden. Because…
  • Salad wise I've been loving smoked trout or mackerel salads with beets, apple, fennel, cottage cheese or a boiled egg. Haven't got tired of tuna salad yet either. If you want to omit the fish and don't mind feta cheese, Greek salads are a great option too. You could add white beans to bulk it up. A baby spinach based salad…
  • Coleslaw made with Greek yoghurt, baked butter beans in tomato sauce topped with feta ("gigantes plaki", it's a Greek dish), tzatziki or hummus with veggies to dip, roasted asparagus, grilled sweetcorn.
  • Oven baked and filled with turkey chili! Or topped with goat cheese indeed. Sweet potato fries are great too though I can never get mine crispy.

  • Yoghurt with fruit and muesli/nuts Pancakes French toast (prep the soaking mix, dip and fry in the morning) (Overnight) oatmeal Baked oats Smoothies
  • Artichoke hearts, corn and grilled veggies such as eggplant, zucchini, asparagus and pumpkin are great to switch up your veggies and pack flavor. Protein wise I love prawns, beef, chicken, tuna and smoked mackerel or trout. Beans are great too! Fruit such as apple and mango is nice and refreshing in summer. Goat cheese and…
