Answer 5

Hi - my husband has been on a diet now for about two years and each evening we struggle with healthy meals! Sometimes he falls off the wagon but we have changed from white rice and pasta to brown (and red rice too) - takes longer to cook but obviously better for us. He tries to keep fat low and also an evening meal to (ideally) below 600 calories but deffo under 800 calories. He eats lots of salads, quite often with tinned tuna (in water not oil) and diet salad dressings. He also enjoys Cesar salad with grilled chicken breasts too. We have lots of poached or steamed fish (fish cooked in tin foil parcels with slices of lemon and bay leaves is nice) and have that with steamed veg or salad with rice or potatoes. Chili is a great quick recipe and can be made with pork or turkey mince which is lower in fat that beef. You can also make low fat lasagna or spag bol. Mince is your friend - you can do lots of different meals with it. Pasta (but not too much) is also good and quick. Along with baked beans on toast - quick, easy and tasty. Buy some diet bread - thinner than normal bread and not as filling but supposedly it's good for you. We snack on fruit and veg and toasted pitta bread or bagels. If you're in the UK Ainsley Harriott has some good quick, easy and low fat recipes in some of his books. Good luck!
