Hi CA-55 ,

I won't plan your meals but I will copy part of a reply I made to another contributor which should get you thinking in the right direction.

I'm old enough to remember when food was food not the analysed plate of various items.

We eat a wide range of WHOLE food which is a good selection of vegetables, probably as many as four different ones with each meal of which one is green leaf. Plenty of fresh fruit of known origin (not sprayed), butter, cheese, eggs, a moderate amount of meat and fish. Our milk is whole milk unpasteurised. Our bread is all made in the home and is 100% wholemeal; supermarket wholemeal is factory made and is a travesty of the real thing.

You can make proper wholemeal bread with stoneground wholemeal flour, I use the recipe at :healthscams.org.uk/bake-you...

We do NOT eat polyunsaturated fats or oils, that is Sunflower oil, Rape seed oil or any other seed oil all of which are frequently the subject of a long industrial process, nor any of the artificial spreads associated with these oils. No manufactured cereals for breakfast and lastly we keep our added sugar intake to an absolute minimum; 1kg a year for the two of us and visitors.

Over a period of time, so long as you are careful with your portion size, you will lose some weight.
