wholemeal pitta with mackerel or tuna and iceberg
lettuce and a tomato - use a smear of low cal mayonnaise to make it moist. |
Sunday dinner -roast meat and two veg. Use mashed

Beware some shop-bought smoothies have a high calorific
content. |

a cup of tea or coffee with skimmed or semi skimmed
milk half a grapefruit and wholewheat cereal with skimmed or semi -skimmed milk |
2 celery sticks with a little smoked mackerel pate |
crispy salad with small portion of cooked ham or chicken - use low cal dressing or a squeeze of lemon juice and 1 ricecake and an apple
|
grilled chicken breast and large portobello mushroom, new potatoes and green beans a scoop of fruit sorbet or low-calorie choc mousse |
Choose a nice ripe grapefruit (pink ones are naturally
sweeter) and then you won't need sugar |
5 |
orange juice low-fat croissant with smear of high fruit low-sugar jam |
a handful of spicy seed mix |
onion soup and 1 handful of grapes |
prawn curry - make it yourself or buy a low-calorie version serve with small portion of brown rice a portion of fresh pineapple with a spoonful of low-fat creme fraiche |
You are less likely to slip up if you plan your meals
well ahead . If you feel hungry in between try to eat fruit rather than
reaching for empty calories. |
6 |
tea/coffee (as before) 1 egg omelette with mushrooms |
an apple and 1 rich tea biscuit | 2 sardines(in brine) mashed and placed on one slice of wholemeal toast and a tomato | herby chicken - need to marinate night before. Serve with rocket salad and crusty bread a portion of raspberries with a meringue nest (only 55 cals) |
Marinating your meat or fish is well worthwhile - it makes it so much more tastier. Olive oil is rich in omega 6 - a good fat. |

orange or grapefruit juice a portion of unsweetened muesli with skimmed milk and a handful of one of the following: apple, grapes, blueberries or a chopped banana |
small portion of hummus and carrot sticks | minestrone soup - homemade or shop bought - with a small crusty wholemeal or seeded roll (no butter - dip into soup or use a smear of yeast extract spread) | chicken and peppers in black bean sauce with beansprouts and small portion of rice noodles

Make enough soup so you can freeze portions for later |

Removing the skin from chicken halves the fat content, and leaving the skin on the potatoes increases the fibre content |
