What's your favourite 200 calorie meal?

[3Britnee]

I've been having a salad for lunch, a small snack in the afternoon and soup for dinner.

Just looking for some interesting inspiration 👍

Oh, I wish I knew, but I love a Pot Noodle( > 500 calories)

Ps, I'd starve all day for a Pot Noodle!

200 calories is a snack not a meal (in which case an apple and a lump of cheese).

200 calories is not a meal. It's a snack.

If you are doing 5:2 and sticking to 500 calories in a day, I've found it far more satisfying just having 1 meal a day, prob around 5/6pm and making it 500 cals than trying to pretend 200 cals is an evening meal. If I'm really hungry by 3 then have a 100 cal snack, leaving 400 for dinner which is still ok.

Tin of tuna, big salad, dollop of dressing.

Just found cauliflower buffalo wings on Instagram so that will be my next thing I try.

Tinned plum tomatos on toast?

2 egg omelette with onion and spinach, mushrooms or what ever?

These are the sort of things I've been eating for 200 calories. So you absolutely can have a meal for 200c.

I just measured my plates and they are 11 inches.

Miso soup with lots of veg

@3Britnee do you have the recipe for the first pic please? Looks delicious 😋

I thought the tuna and avocado alone in the second picture would add up to more than 200cals?

It was a small avocado, I bought 2 and the most a bit on my plate weighed was 50g. The tuna here comes in 51g tins. The mayo is measured with one of those quantity measures (tablespoon)

2 of those birdseye steamer bags of vegetables, a bit of maggi liquid seasoning and a dollop of tescos wicked kitchen smoked beetroot pesto.

I could live on that and I doubt thats more than 200 cals

Brown chicken thighs. Remove from pan.
Fry onions.
Add garlic, ginger, chilli.
Add turmeric, dried thyme, basil, oregano, coriander, s&p.

Add chicken back in.
Add water.
Add stock cubes & bay leaves.

When serving put chopped fresh mushrooms and beansprouts in a bowl. Add soup. Microwave. That's for days it's from the fridge. On the day its cooked, microwave fresh mushrooms & beansprouts. Add to bowl then add soup.

When ready, add chopped coriander, spring onion and chilli.

It's chicken and veg soup.

Oh and after its cooked a bit, I take the chicken thighs out and shred them and put the meat and bones back in.

Thank you :)

@bonfireheart

Thank you :)

👍 it's delicious and you can amend the chilli/veg to your own tastes, obviously.

Also a packet of those stir fry veg. dry fried in a wok, with a little osem chicken flavour soup mix and water for a soup base, maybe some chinese spices. Konji/slim noodles or rice.

Big salad with tuna or chopped boiled egg and theres these tinned mixed beans in vinaigrette you get in sansburies that are amazing in salad

Couple of hard boiled eggs with roasted tomatoes and asparagus. Drizzle with srircha sauce

small to medium jacket potato. Maggi liquid seasoning or salt instead of butter, and some low fat cottage cheese with pineapple

Cloud bread and fill it!

Thanks ack of veg stir fry that is heavy on the bean sprouts stir fried in a wok with a little water to stop it sticking. 2 tsp soy sauce and rice wine, 1 tsp of fish sauce and 1 tsp of sriracha.
