I hit a minor milestone today with my - gradual - weightloss. So I'm feeling quite positive.

The way I've been doing it is by adopting a variety of sensible measures, not rigidly, there are no taboos.
I do occasionally have chocolate if I really fancy it, wine and savoury snacks likewise, but they are once a week treats - not too frequent.
I don't 'ban' fat but I do keep *added* fats to a realistic minimum - for example I now use a tablespoonful of olive oil in my pasta sauces, curries and other such dishes, but not a 'glug glug' like I used to.
I now use a smaller plate. In fact a 'vintage' plate, as I've found that the volume of food you can put on old plates is considerably less than modern ones).
I measure my carbs so I don't go overboard with them - I love carbs and could (would) eat a LOT of carbs if I didn't keep an eye on quantities.

So anyway I'm waffling a bit here. What I really would like to know, is other people's 'meal solutions' that aren't heavily calorific. For example tonight we are having pan-griddled tuna steaks, with hearty side salad and home-made 'rustic' oven chips. The chips are baked and not high in fat, there's plenty of greenery with a lemon dressing, and some healthy low fat protein (not too well done, as I like my tuna pink and moist in the middle).

On sunday we will have Quorn sausages, with mustard mash, and lots of braised red cabbage. Again low in fat but tasty and hearty. A bit of homemade onion gravy too.

If you've ever been on a gradual weight-loss programme, what were your go-to meals? Ones you actually enjoyed, that filled you up and you looked forward to? I'm not big on meat by the way, but fish is good, and I love veggies and pasta. Still feel free to share whatever you feel like!
