A selection of delicious, filling meals all with less than 500 calories a portion.
Happy New Year!
You only need to take a quick peek through the recipes I’ve been posting recently to know that I enjoyed my Christmas food. Unfortunately this has necessitated me spending the morning browsing though my recipe index to find all my healthy (by healthy I mean low calorie, although many of these are healthy for other reasons too 🙂 ) dinners to make over the next few weeks to get me back on the straight and narrow.
The great thing about these dinners is that I didn’t design them with dieting or healthy eating particularly in mind, I just cooked something I thought tasted good and then worked out all the nutritional information afterwards to share alongside the recipe. This means that these don’t feel like diet food, they’re delicious and you get a proper decent sized portion that’ll keep you filled up.

Yep……. I’m back on the 5:2 as well! Must be January!! Nice to know I’m in good company x
Charlotte Oates says
Yes, definitely a January thing. I hope the 5:2 is going well, I tried it but didn’t have enough willpower on the low calorie days!
Karen Burns Booth says
Great post! I am back on the 5:2 diet again and have lots of meals well under 500 calories on L and L as well as creating new ones as I diet too! Love this, Karen

I tried the 5:2 diet but I don’t have enough willpower, I’d eat a snack and then tell myself it didn’t really count! The two chillies are perfect for that diet though as they’re both well under 300 calories and so filling that you don’t need to have rice with them.
