Fast800 and microwave meals

4 replies

I never eat microwave meals. However, I want to kick start the Fast800 and I do not have time for meal prep or cooking. I think that if I can do this for 2 weeks in an easy to sustain way, I am then way more likely to start getting myself organised for it.

It's either that, or literally eat the same thing every day for a week. I genuinely don't mind that as a short-term measure.

I am at a point where the important thing is to get started AND get passed the first 2 weeks.

Are there any M&S meals that I could stock up on, or some easy to put together meals so that there's hardly any thought put into it and, more importantly, hardly any time spent in the kitchen?

I have 1.5st to lose and I am 50, which makes things incredibly hard.

I love to cook, but do have ready meals as it's so much easier than trying to count the calories of each ingredient, especially if cooking for the family as their portions tend to be larger than mine so it becomes guess work.

800 cals needs to be very precise. I don't shop at m&s much, but I do buy Morrisons mushrooms in creamy sauce = 252 cals, Tesco lentil pouch = 250 cals, squash orzotto =340 cals. Also full green cauli rice pouches, a bit expensive, but really easy. All eaten with a ton of leafy greens.

I am also 50, and have lost 1 stone 8 lb so far, another stone to go.

Thanks Kate. What would you typically eat on a given day?
