So… this healthy eating business…
Here’s the thing, I’m NOT fully recovered, I doubt I ever will be if I’m honest, I’ll always have a preoccupation with food, calories and fat. It’s just that these days I obsess somewhat over keeping close to 2000 cals a day rather than as little as possible. Anyway, today’s blog contains some yummy dinners for around 400 cals or less. I know, a lot for someone following something like the ABC or if you’re just scared of eating full stop, but if you allow fruit and veg as “free” or follow something like skinny girl, go for it! Also, if you’re in recovery like me, these recipes are great as the calorie content isn’t terrifying and these have lots of veg in them so feel healthy! J
Easy Chicken casserole: You will need: A skinless chicken breast, one sliced carrot, half a sliced onion, a few mushrooms, half a tin of tomatoes, a chicken stock cube, and a small baking potato. Whack everything in the oven at 180 degrees for about an hour, and you’re done. Just check the chicken’s cooked before you eat it!! All this for 400 calories, 300 excluding veg J
Quorn stir fry: Get a bag of Quorn’s chicken style pieces (frozen section of super market 30 cals per ¼ pack) a pepper, 4 mushrooms, a few sugar snap peas, half a red onion, a tablespoon of sweetcorn, garlic to taste, a tablespoon of soy sauce and a cup of plain noodles. Follow the instructions to cook 1/2 the quorn packet and a cup of noodles and stir fry the veg in water for 5 to 10 mins. Around 300 cals, 150 if you don’t count veg J For more cals you can use beef or pork instead of Quorn.
Give them a try :)
