total 514ncals

Yummy, sounds lush, I'll give it a go. I went out with friends on Friday, drank way too much (especially as I haven't had any alcohol for ages) then ended up eating toast and pasta yesterday. I'm not going to do that again in a hurry. Looks like I've put on a couple of pounds, so learnt my lesson.

How's your weekend been? X
 
had a great weekend caught up with some friends like you alcohol and extra calories but it was worth it and its full steam ahead again, probably no losses but don t think there s a gain either tomorrow will decided.

You could definitely make them into a mini book for people on low cal diets.. I'd pay for them recipes lol. I'm getting on very well thanks. I had chicken fillets, wild rice with steamed cabbage, broccoli and mushrooms. I hate bland food so it's all well seasoned. After Christmas I'm going to have to start exercising.. 1, so I can burn a bit more calories and 2, to burn off my Christmas dinner because I will be having my dinner lol

Just had zoodles for the first time, oh I think carbs can be reduced with these little beauties
200 cal meal 60g courgette half a small garlic clove crushed, 2 spray 0live oil one spray, balsamic vinegar, pepper, and 3 small cherry tomatoes griddled 1 chicken breast. I put a little fresh dill in the zoodles but anything you prefer would work
Really great step 2 option
 
One cooked smoked salmon fillet, one carrot, one courgette ( sprialised) sugar snap peas, black olives, cooked in balsamic vinegar, garlic clove, a little olive oil. Salt pepper some fresh dill
I cooked carrot and sugar snap peas first the added courgette and finally salmon well yum and filling
 
Made a delish mackerel dish, 1.5 fillets could be one, I medium carrot , I large courgette, 1 to 2 beetroots, grate or spiralize as preferred. Carrot and beetroot served raw. Courgette is fired in olive oil, with lemon juice, parsley and a splash of soy sauce. I added a quarter cup of quinoa and mixed into the courgette once both were cooked.
There was a vinegarette madewith juice of one satsuma table spoon of agar syrup ( honey or maple syrup would work) and table spoon of white wine vinegar. I think the cal of this huge meal was 750 but could easily be reduced by subtraction of mackerel for smoked cooked salmon and taking away quinoa.
 
Quorn stir fry
1/2 a serving of medium noodles 150
I red onion 10cal finely sliced
Half large courgette 25 spirialised
200g chestnut mushrooms 45 chopped
5 Brussels sprouts 40 haves
1 green pepper 30 sliced
100g quorn pieces 100
1 small clove garlic
Tsp chopped ginger
Cinnamon
Coriander
Lemon grass
Salt and pepper to taste
Tbsp groundnut oil 120
Soy sauce 50 mls 30
Total 550
Heat oil add quorn pieces, ginger , garlic, onion and rest of spiced ( I didn’t measure the powered herbs)
Add soy sauce
Heat through frozen chicken pieces then add pepper, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, stir til cooked. Once nearly cooked add cooked noodles and spiralised courgette heat and serve
 
Aubergine stew

Slice 2 medium aubergines and salt, leave 20 mins then chop into chunky bits.
1 tablespoon of olive oil with the zest of a lime add 2 onions soften then add 2 medium sized garlic cloves finely chopped, then add aubergine. 5 to 10 mins
Add 1 teaspoon cumin, turmeric, 1/2 a teaspoon paprika and cinnamon
I added 6 sun dried tomatoes chopped and a can of chopped tomatoes.
Once this was in I added 2 teaspoons of clear honey and 30mls of pomegranate molasses
I transferred to a casserole dish and added 50 g of cooked green lentils 1/2 a can of water and a squirt tomato paste and half the juice of the lime
Pepper to taste
Cook for approximately 1/2 an hour at 180 in an eclectic oven
I needed a bit of extra water to stop it getting too dry
