7WCT - NUTRITION
When the weather turns colder and the days grow shorter, it can be hard to stay on track with your diet. Comfort food, takeaways and snacks all seem like great options - but you need to have the willpower to say no if you want to transform your body and health!
You probably know the deal by now, you should aim to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner each day - plus a snack if you get hungry. We have included some of our favorite recipes from our plans so far for you to choose from each day - plus a few to get you in the mood for Christmas!
But, as always, you don’t need to stick to these recipes alone - you can cook any recipe you like as long as you try to stay within your calorie targets. We generally suggest fewer than 1900 calories a day for men when trying to lose weight, and fewer than 1700 calories per day for women when trying to lose weight.
The majority of the meals here are below 550 calories each, so if you are eating 3 of these and a snack each day you should come in below your target!

Warm the oil in a pan over a medium heat, add the masala paste and fry for 3-4 minutes. Meanwhile remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon and transfer to the pan. Toss together with the paste and fry for 7-8 minutes, moving regularly, before adding warm water to the pan. You should add enough water to achieve your preferred curry consistency, bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer and covering. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Rinse your rice under cold running water. Add to a saucepan and cover with water, to around a centimeter above the rice. Place over a medium high heat on the hob, without a lid, for around 10 minutes, or until the water has evaporated to below the level of the rice. Then place a lid on the pan, turn off the heat and allow the rice to continue to steam. Do not stir, keep covered with the lid until you are ready to serve.
Toast and halve your naans before serving with your rice, topped with the curry.

Steak with Baked sweet potato

INGREDIENTS
1 rump steak (200-250g)
1 tsp unsalted butter
Medium sweet potato
15g low fat cheese
1 tsp unsalted butter
Medium sweet potato
15g low fat cheese
- PREP 5 MINS
- COOK 50 MINS
- SERVES 1
- KCAL 470
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 200C. Wash and scrub your sweet potato, pierce several times with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 50 minutes. REmove your steak from the fridge and allow it to sit - covered - at room temperature.
10 minutes before your potato is cooked, warm the butter in a frying pan over a high heat. When you can feel the pan is hot and the butter has melted, add the steak and cook for 2:30 on each side - longer for a well done steak, shorter for a rarer steak. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for a minute before serving.
Remove the potato from the oven and slice lengthwise down the middle, pull the two sides apart to show the flesh and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Return to the oven for further 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Serve the steak and potato together, if there are juices remaining in the pan you can pour these onto the potato for more flavour!
