Answer 2

I have tons of recipes and meal ideas, but that could take forever to pass on. The easiest suggestion is to get some frozen diet dinners, such as Healthy Choice, Lean Cuisine, and Smart Ones. Not only are they cheap and convenient, they are nutritious, delicious, and no cooking or clean-up (except the fork). Some of my favorites are HC Country Herb Chicken, SO Spicy Schzechuan Vegetables & Chicken, LC Salisbury Steak. I could go on & on. They're yummy and so low-cal.

Answer 3

Carribean Chicken (Originally it was a weight watchers menu) its a curry dish but you can put in spices coconut etc that you like or you can be lazy like me an by Dinaclass curry mix. You need chicken, tin pineapples in own juice, tin chopped tomatoes 2 chicken oxo. Skin the chicken. Place all the ingredients in an oven proof dish make the curry mix up and pour over. Place in oven on a low light or slow cooker and let it cook all day. Cover dish with tin foil and put a drop of water on to the tin foil and cover that it stops the curry drying up. Serve with curry.
Another recipe is to make a broth (soup) with seasons vegetables stock cube and put on cooker in a pan or slow cooker, leave on all day, 1/2 hour before serving put corned beef in. To make it for the rest of the family you can add dumplings and some crusty bread. This is a recipe my sister got from weight watchers many years ago.
