MungoChutney Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Right folks, after some food ideas and/or recipes. Looking for nice yet healthy lunches and dinners. I've been on a diet since mid-January and lost 20lbs but I'm starting to get sick of salad, fat free bacon, baked potatoes, low fat stir frys and all the usual stuff you eat when dieting. Â So any good, healthy meal ideas would be much appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on a diet since mid-January and lost 20lbs but I'm starting to get sick of salad, fat free bacon, baked potatoes, low fat stir frys and all the usual stuff you eat when dieting. So any good, healthy meal ideas would be much appreciated...  These are more snacks/lunches..  If you can get a wholemeal pitta they are quite nutritious/healthy- fill with roasted veg (aubergine, courgette, red onion)or salad and falafel or chicken and chilli or tahini sauce.  You've perhaps missed the opportunity weather-wise but most soup (as long as it's not creamy/cheesy) can be healthy. You could make your own- noodle miso soup with lean meat/veg for example. I don't need to list examples here as you can pretty much do anything just check recipe websites like BBC.  Wraps (esp wholemeal again) with say prawn, avocado (fatty but good fat) and low-fat mayo. Or similarly fajitas with grilled chicken, salsa and peppers.  Pasta with any of the numerous tomato sauces and veg/lean meat or linguine with smoked salmon, peas and some low fat creme fraiche (this may be pushing it) mixed with lemon  FISH    They are expensive but the Innocent veg pots are pretty fucking ace too (healthy though you'd have to check the fat content on some)- mousakka, mexican bean, sweet chilli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I had another beasting steak tonight. Not quite on the level of the 52 oz challenge, but a beast none the less. In light of the weather gradually returning to its normal state of shitness, me and my mate decided to squeeze a barbie out of what was left of the sun. The mad cunt turned up at my door with some huge rump steaks that were about 25/30 oz and we cooked them up in his garden. Fucking beautiful, even if I did eat mine with no knife! My teeth are sore now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance now when I make Chilli I use less mince and more peppers & beans to bulk it up. Same with Cottage pie, less mince and more carrots, peas and onion. You can buy those big bags of Farmfoods frozen chicken breasts as well, while not the best quality they taste just fine and are good for a little portion control.  If you get the extra light version of Tesco's own soft cheese this is a good basis for cheesy creamy pasta sauces, might even be lighter than creme fraiche (but don't quote me on that).

Paid Members SiMania Posted March 31, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 31, 2012 I prefer beef. Â Steak and dauphinoise potatoes, or chorizo and chicken risotto? I'm looking after my boy tonight as wife is out so will probably go with risotto, less fannying about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2012 I'm having a gourmet dinner of a snack pack of chicken satay sticks and some fruit. Mmmm.. Â I did have a nice hot and sour soup earlier though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I thought i'd pick at a fresh packet of Dorito's/dip. Neither exist anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
