I was recently in an accident and cannot exercise; particularly, I cannot put weight on my feet or lay my feet on the ground. Consequently, I have to maintain my weight purely through diet. I typically aim for around 1300 calories/day.

So far I have:

  • breakfast: fried egg/egg white on toast with a glass of water (about 200 cals)
  • lunch: chicken breast, small piece of bread, with a large spinach salad (about 300 cals)
  • afternoon snack ?
  • dinner ?

Thank you.

    I’m a deadly afternoon snacker. Fresh veg helps. Keep cucumber and carrot around. Salt and pepper or tajin seasoning is low in calories. Also, air popped corn with nutritional yeast or chili lime powder for flavour.

    Dinners are non trivial, But veg is your friend again. A heap of steamed veggies next to a smaller portion of whatever you love. Drink lots of water, club soda, etc, anything to limit liquid calories and especially sugar obviously.
