DIET - 600 Calorie Dinner & Dessert Challenge

I've recently embarked upon a healthy eating plan which includes Slimfast shakes and snacks. As part of the plan, 600 calories are allowed for a healthy dinner so I am trying to be as creative as possible to ensure I'm getting variety and a meal that fills me up so I'm not tempted to snack. I'll be posting some of my meals here for a little bit of inspiration to others in the same boat too... bikini weather is pretty much here already.

Today I stocked up on dinner and dessert at M&S...

DINNER
Cauliflower & chickpea curry with Garam Masala spiced aubergines and a long grain and yellow split pea rice. 350 calories, 3.99.
Bombay Aloo for two (yes I ate the lot) 180 calories, £1.99.

DESSERT
1/2 a Count on us thick and fruity yogurt - spiced rhubarb. 35 calories, 55p.
1 Meringue nest, 50 calories, 14p.

Total price: £6.67
Total calories: 615

Verdict: I feel full, the grub was tasty and dessert was delicious. I think I could do much better on price though, would prefer the lot to come in under at £5. I also went 15 calories over but it was worth it because I won't be needing anything else at all this evening.

This is all very good timing as I've been asked to take part in the Lighter Self Aussie challenge where us Aussie Angels will be trying to get healthier bodies and minds. Aussie have sent over a video to help kick start things too, see below for some easy exercises...

My 600 calorie dinner and dessert challenge was something I was doing anyway as I've spent far too long stuffing my face, I hope I can shift a few lbs in time for the 3 weddings I have this season and fit into the gorgeous clothes I have sitting in my wardrobe.

Wish me luck and feel free to share any tips you've got too.
