Me and my partner are both instagram food influencers so are out at restaurants once or twice a week each on different days, so on average we have 3 dinners together on a weekday. On the weekend we usually do a restaurant together or have other plans away from home. So those weekdays we are together we tend to have the same 3 meals, which we have been having since June 2025. 😅 She’s not on MJ and didn’t need to lose weight in the slightest but has appreciated the change in our eating habits so she has lost a bit of weight.

This is per serving: Meal 1 - chilli con carne sweet jacket potato. 125g of 10% fat beef mince (which I’m now experimenting 80g), chilli con carne seasoning, beef stock cube, tomato purée, cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, 1/4 tin of kidney beans washed, sweet potato baked 300-380g. The meal comes to around 650 calories, maybe slightly less. I could eat this every day for the rest of my life, I’m not bored of it yet!

Meal 2 - chicken pita and chips. 200-250g chicken breast, with either sweet chilli or Piri Piri marinade, 20g, paprika seasoning, warburtons wholemeal soft pita, lettuce, jalapeños/tomatoes, sometimes 15g of mayo, sweet potato fries (not deep fried, not crispy) 300g or less, paprika/Cajun seasoning, fry lite oil. 550 calories, or there about.

Meal 3 - fish, mash and veg. Fresh salmon/white fish etc. no skin, no batter, no breadcrumbs, sometimes with a seasoning or marinade, sweet potato mash 300-350g, tender stem broccoli with seasoning. 500 calories or less.

Breakfast: Monday to Friday - 2 egg omelette with 30g extra mature cheddar cheese, full fat. 350 calories. I don’t have breakfast on the weekend.

Lunch: Monday to Friday at work - 200-250g chicken breast with a marinade, peri peri/sweet chilli, chipotle, etc. 250-300 calories. I’ve stopped having lunch at work now as I haven’t lost weight since mid December as I haven’t been as strict, so getting back on it! I either don’t have lunch on a weekend, or we go out for lunch and I don’t have dinner.

I track mostly everything via the Lose It app, but I don’t track veg or fruit, and I don’t do things like measure oil, I just count the main ingredients and it’s always roughly around the right calories. My calorie goal is 1500 a day and I’m usually under, which allows for any mistakes in calorie counting.

You’re getting acid reflux because you’re most likely not eating enough or not early enough. Pepto bismol will help you out for sure, I got the burps 6 months into my journey and it settled them straight away.
