Year Round – Keep Me Warm

Hi there, Dave here again!

Lots of tasty recipes for you this week, including Veggie Quesadillas! Can’t go wrong with those beauts, and I always look forward to them at the end of a long day. If you have a thermos flask then the Speedy Chickpea Stew goes in really nicely. If not then a quick reheat and it’s good to go 😋

On to this week’s stats:

• you’ll be getting 64g protein at about 1250kcals (three main meals);
• or 86g of protein at about 1500kcal per day with snacks;
• if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 110g protein at 2000kcal per day.

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. 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.

Give us a shout if there’s anything else you’d like to see featured in the plans!

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls are a great way to use up leftovers. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1300kcal if weight loss is a priority.

Recipe Tips:

• Use low-fat mozzarella in the Veggie Quesadillas for a protein-boost with less fat!
• The Yoghurt Compote can be made the night before for a pick-me-up breakfast.
• The Speedy Chickpea Stew can be kept in a thermos flask (or similar) and easily transported then eaten warm!

Meal Prep (Quick Tutorial): These recipes can be made ahead.

Generally we advise to keep them in airtight containers and/or in the fridge. Some of them need to be reheated.
