Daytime consists of a bowl of porridge and fruit, which I'm happy with.

Daytime is approx 350 calories so not looking to go much higher than 1500 total.

So your eating 350 in the daytime and then aiming to throw 1150 down you before you go to bed in the evening? Seems a bit backwards to me!

My calorie suggestion was only a guide in response to the poster above. This thread is more about your healthy dishes that I can nab from you.

The thing is, you say healthy but you also say your training, are you eating before or after training and what kind of training are you doing?

Whats healthy and not all depends on what your goal is, if its weight loss you just need a low sugar and fairly low fat diet with a healthy balance of carbs and protein at the right time of day.

If your weight traing, you want to eat carbs for breakfast only with plenty of protein staggered throughout the day with very little to no sugar.

Well, I have chicken with salad leaves and couscous with some kind of seasoning. Or for more calories, oatcakes with salad leaves and chicken. But both are pretty bland for the average person. I only eat this because it suits my goals. But after eating it, you may gnaw your colleague's arm off.

Well if thats the case, just look up Dale Pinnock, his recipes are pretty awesome IMO. Hairy dieters stuff is also pretty good although some of it is quite time consuming.

Thanks for the replies..

My training is for fitness and toning. I'm thick set so only need to lose 1.5-2 stone in conjunction with muscle gain/toning to get where I want to be.

My eating pattern is all to st at the moment (very little appetite) so I'm working on that too.

I'd just try and eat more during the day and have a high protein meal after training in the evening then, all totalling up to you calorie goal of course

Alot of his things tend to be a cleak bulk. If you want to lose weight then make sure its as part of a daily deficit. He's by no means jamie oliver, most of his things tend to be chicken breast that's coevered in seasoning and grilled. Alot of his foods is done so he as a fairly clear idea of his rough calories/macros. Things like boil in the bag rice just make it easier as the packaging clearly shows how many cals in a serving etc..

In the grand scheme of things you could still eat oven chips & chicken nuggets, or KFC. As long as its all part of a deficit.

Salmon or chicken with cous cous and salad. Aldi do some very nice pre marinated salmon which you microwave for 3 mins. Loads of different flavoured cous cous out there simple healthy and very quick to make.
