Here are 3 meals that from my experience are fairly standard to what a lot of peolpe who are in their words ‘fairly healthy’ may consume. Watch how slight changes in the meals leads to over a 1000 calories a day less consumed! And I haven’t even included what could be lost from changing what you eat between meals;

2 slices thick bread = 220 calories
20 grams butter/jam = 150 calories
Total = 370 calories
Standard serving of porridge;
100ml skimmed milk – 35 calories
45 grams oats – 165 calories
Handful of blubberies (40 grams) – 25 calories
Total = 225 calories
Calories saved = 145. And what’s more the oats are a slow release carb that will leave you feeling fuller for longer than the bread.

2 Slices Thick Bread – 220 calories
Tin of tuna – 200 calories (+75 calories from the residual oil) = 275
30 grams mayonaise – 100 calories

Total = 765
Tuna Salad
Tin of Tuna (in spring water not oil) – 200 calories
