Hello and welcome ! Not much of a recipe, but yesterday I had for dinner 2 hard-boiled eggs, 1 tin of tuna, 2 small tomatoes, and 30 grams of full fat cheddar cheese, cut in cubes/pieces and all mixed up. Washed down with water, and a small banana for dessert.

I've been too lazy to cook lately, can't be bothered. Today on the way home from my jog, I just grabbed a ready salad box with olives from Aldi for lunch, and threw in some ready-cooked beans from a glass jar and other healthy stuff. Hubby has promised to cook beef stew for tonight, so it will be very nice to have a hot meal in the evening.

Hi whit.

How about rice? Just to have something to fill you up...

But apart from that, I had a steak the other night, cooked medium rare in a hot pan without any fat served with some steamed veg and homemade garlic "butter" (it wasn't butter but a spreadable alternative to save on calories...).

You could make a chilli, you can keep that healthy by sticking to lower fat % beef and frying things without oil where possible.

I also enjoy fish. I like mine "Asian" style, for example packing a piece of salmon into tin foil along with some ginger, chilli, garlic, pak choi and lemon grass, steam in the oven for 10-15 minutes and then serve with noodles - or whatever else you may enjoy.

I'm sure you'll find some pasta free meals you can enjoy.

Are you following the NHS 12 week plan? You can eat whatever you like so long as you stay within your calorie range.

I'm a veggie so probably not much help on the recipe front! BBC good food has some low cal recipes though if you enjoy cooking, and they're not too complicated: bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/col...

best of luck!
