Who says low-calorie can't be tasty? We've chosen five dinners, each designed to serve two, to show you just how varied and flavoursome diet dishes can be. They're all ready in under 40 minutes (most in just 20-30), making them perfect for busy weeknights.
With salmon (or feel free to substitute more sustainable trout), steak and prawns in this weekday menu, you won't feel short-changed. There's a hit of spice in our harissa baked aubergines, plus a base of mixed grains that will keep you feeling full. Pasta and tacos keep the comfort food favourites coming, while an olive chimichurri steak is an absolute treat that you can still enjoy while eating low-cal.
Recommended calorie intakes are 2,000 kcal per day for women and 2,500 kcal for men aged 18-75. For healthy, gradual weight loss, reducing your calorie intake by 500-600 kcal a day (or doing additional exercise to burn off the equivalent calories) is recommended. Note that these are average amounts and that we all vary as individuals.
Pair these low-calorie dinners with a sensible breakfast and lunch (aim to include protein and wholegrains to keep you feeling full) and you shouldn't find it hard to stay within your calorie target.
