Hot Days – Hello Me!

Hi there – what did the cheese say to the mirror? Hallou-mi! 😀

Dave here again, and as always it’s my pleasure to present this plan. Terrible cheese jokes included.

We’ve got some tasty meals planned out for you again, and there are some super quick ones in here, too!

The Vegan Tuna Salad is a very cool lunch, and honestly tastes farrrrr better than tuna, at least in my opinion anyway.

The Tacos are a family fave as well, and the Pico de Gallo de Mango dip that comes with it is a very worthy addition!

As always – any questions – just hit me up and I’ll reply as soon as I see your message!

On to the stats:

• you’ll be getting 62g protein at about 1300kcals (three main meals);
• or 82g of protein at about 1500kcal per day with snacks;
• if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 103g protein at 2000kcal per day.

Reminder: If you’re not sure how many calories you should be eating please have a quick read through this page on calories.

Enjoy the recipes (and the sun!). Please give me a shout if any questions.

Dave🙂

PS. don’t forget – further down on this page is a list of which recipes can be made ahead, which can be frozen and some vegan alternatives if you fancy them.

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1500kcal if weight loss is a priority.

Recipe Tips:

• You can use any berries you like in the breakfasts – the Lentil Pancakes, the Yoghurt, the Bircher Muesli. Raspberries, blueberries, strawberries – I recommend whatever is in season locally!
• Don’t forget to cut the bottom inch or so off the asparagus in the Halloumi Dinner! You can also swap the halloumi for a different cheese if needed – feta, salad cheese or anything else you’d rather have.
• If you want the green sauce in the Green Salad to be a little spicy add a whole jalapeño without seeds. It packs really nicely, and can most definitely be eaten cold!
