Hi everyone,
My weight has been creeping up over the last year so I need to do something about it as it’s getting me down and most of my clothes don’t fit Shock

I’m going to make a start on 16:8 and fasting from Monday so I’ll use the weekend to get organised.
Id love to hear some easy, go to lunches/meals that people make just to make it easier for prep and calorie counting in the first few weeks. I’ll be aiming for 800 cals and under.
Thank you Smile

So, I'm using the fast 800 recipe book. Favourites for ease of prep and knowing they're super low cal...
Lunches: Mushroom soup 68 Cals, and any soup really!
Breakfasts: Scrambled eggs 200 Cals, smoothies
Dinners: chicken/bacon salad, steak n salad

Highly recommend the book. Followed their meal plan for the first month and then tweaked it to fit me.

Thank you very much for the suggestions. I have the Fast 800 book but not the recipe book. I think I’ll invest Smile

I use Huel on my fast days. Not for everyone, but for me it really helps keep me in check on my fast days. A shake & a hot meal (think cup a soup) a day is my 800 cals.

My husband has mentioned someone he worked with using Huel. I’m going to check it out, thank you.
