I'm not expecting this to become any sort of amazing cookery book, but hopefully it demonstrates that you can eat tasty things that don't take a lot of time to make, don't have to cost a lot of money, and can form part of your calorie-budget diet.
Lentil Soup - 300 calories
A few celery sticks
A small handful of chopped onion
2 medium carrots (about 250 g)
A potato or two (about 150 g)
200 g split lentils
Chunk of chorizo (about 40 g or so)
Ham stock cube
Small knob of butter
Slice
the chorizo onions and celery and throw in the pan with the butter on a
low heat until the fat starts to come out of the chorizo and the
veggies start to soften.
Add
a kettle full of water or so, the stock cube, lentils, diced potato and
chopped carrots. Cook until all is soft then go to town with a stick
blender.
Add pepper, nutmeg and cumin to taste and boil down or add water until you get a thickness of soup you like.
The total amount of calories in the pot is about 1050, so divide into 3 or 4 portions as you see fit. I usually do 4, but round each portion up and call it 300 calories.
Ham and eggs on toast - 500 calories
A quick meal that's good post-workout, with a good amount of protein in there. Get a packed of ham (I tend to end use smoked ham that comes in a packet size of around 125g) out of the fridge in advance to give it a chance to warm up to room temperature. Poach 2 eggs, make some toast, assemble in a, rather obvious, stack-like format and eat.
For 500 calories (after rounding up), you are getting about 40g of protein, so that's about 80% of the guideline amount taken care of, plus a heap of the essential amino acids covered.
Doughnuts - 1150 calories
Go to Sainsbury's, buy a bag of five jam doughnuts, eat.
Ham sandwich - 150 calories
Take 1 slice of Tesco high protein bread, cut in half, and place either side of two slices of Dulano mustard-seed coated ham from Lidl.
