[quote=Anonymous]OP--I don't know why you are under attack here, though clearly many of the prior posters have no clue what the 5:2 diet is about.  I think it's great that you are trying it!  If I had 250 calories allotted for dinner, I would do a large salad with lots of fresh vegetables, a dressing made from a good vinegar, salt, pepper, and herbs, and a poached egg or two on top.

FWIW, I tried it for a couple of weeks and found it too hard to keep to a moderate dinner while cooking for the rest of the family.  I've ended up doing a compromised version:  On work days, I don't eat until noon or 1:00 (just black coffee, tea, or water in the morning), then I eat a large healthy salad, vegetable soup, or some other very healthy, primarily vegetarian meal for lunch.  I eat a handful of nuts or other healthy snack when I get home, then for dinner I eat a smaller portion of what I normally would.  On weekends I don't think about what I eat.  With this plan plus weight lifting 2 or 3 times a week I've lost more than 20 lbs in 6 months, and I feel great.  Good luck![/quote]
