Hi Wobs, hope you dont think Im taking over your thread, but Ithought it might give you some ideas and help with your diet if I give you an idea of what I would consider a healthy diet plan. This is non expensive and much how I eat in a normal shooping budget, that is minimal fuss and easy to make.
Breakfast.
Fruitjuice, smoothie or Fruit Tea
Whole grain cerial with semi skimmed or skimmed milk preferably oat or quinola not wheat as most people have to much gluten in their diet (plus is bloats)
Midmorning
Large handfull of mixed dried fruit, nuts and seeds (easy on the nuts, as heavy in calories but very healthy) seeds like sunflower or pumpkin
Lunch
Fresh cartooned soup from chiller in super market, or make your own. (not tinned) plus wholemeal crusty roll
or
Salad with hard boiled egg, or chicken or tuna etc, with a low fat dressing
or
Wholemeal sandwiches with turkey bacon griled, and tomatos and lettice
or
Crumpets with tomato puree, mozarrella, and pieces of ham, sweetcorn, mushrooms etc like mini pizzas grilled
followed by a yogurt
Mid Afternoon
1 or 2 pieces of fresh fruit
Dinner
Roasted Winter veg (sweet potato, carrots, peppers, squash, courgettes, parsnips, basically any vag all on a tray with some olive oil, whole garlic cloves, and a little rosemary cooked for about 45mins. With grilled chicked, lean steak, lamb or anything.
or
Stir fry, loads of veg with chicken or pork or prawns and noodles or rice
or
Fish like Salmon or Tuna, with couscous and veg
or
Chicken casserole with baking potatoes
TIP:Tpo same money try to buy your fruit and veg from local green grocers, they are often about half the price of super markets, as your buying local seasonal produce as oposed to stuff that has been shipped from the other side of the globe and its fresher too, not several weeks old having been kept in a chiller in transit, so retains more goodness.
Hope this is of some use, and as you can see its a lot of food so you shouldnt find yourself hungry and it is all healthy, not just low fat.
