Shrimp

Did you make it through the day OP? What did you decide? I would have probably chosen some hard boiled egg and raw veggies.

For those complaining, there is a lot of research on the health benefits of eating this way. Maybe do some research before you snark?

Also, I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but I would recommend not spending 70+100 on creamer and olive oil.

But maybe there is something I don't know about this diet...if so, never mind.

You are probably right, but it was my first day and I used the creamer before I thought about how many calories it is. The olive oil was actually a good thing bc it made the veggies taste better and I ate a lot more, which filled me up - I had about 4 cups of zucchini.

This is ridiculous and unsustainable. And also - you can eat 500 and spend 100 on olive oil?

Agreed.

I've lost 50lbs recently, and would rather be fat again than eat 500 calories a day. Better to eat sufficiently and contentedly, and have a 500 calorie deficit with exercise.

Thats great for you but I have been trying to lose weight and miserably failing for a long time, including WW and other more traditional plans. Its only 2 days a week where my calories are limited and the other days I can eat normally (within reason , of course). I actually feel fine and am less tempted to binge (as I would usually do when my food is restricted bc I know I can have that scoop of ice cream tomorrow.

I am exercising as well but dont always have time to burn 500 calories that way.

Three eggs, any style.

Greek yogurt with some fruit

I just started the 5:2 diet and today is day 1 of 500 cals. I had some creamer in my coffee (70 cals), zucchini (80), olive oil (100) and now have 250 cals left for dinner. I would love chicken but i dont want to make a whole package bc I know I will eat more than my allotted 4 oz. I'd love for it to be protein but I could easily eat more roasted veggies. I know there are some ideas on website but I havent found anything that speaks to me.

Suggestions?
