Cheers PJ - I've always wanted to give meat loaf a try, sounds a piece of cake too

This is low fat, high speed cooking for people who want to keep an eye on the calories without sacrificing flavour.

You can buy 'half fat' and 'low fat' hard cheese but it still has a lot more fat than soft cheese - you're looking at 260 cals per 100g for hard cheese compared with 70 cals for soft varieties.

Soft cheese tastes nicer too. Every low fat hard cheese I've tried had the taste and texture of yellow plastic.

Mixing very low fat soft cheese with tomato puree and garlic is easier than grating hard cheese and you can’t carve an extra chunk of the block to eat whilst the pizza is cooking.
Add a good squirt of garlic puree to the mix and you won’t even miss the fat.

Thought I'd add this to the meals list! It's easy and quick to make plus is tasty, healthy and nutritious!
All you'll need equipment wise is a saucepan, frying pan and a hob.
The ingredients are:

50g Quinoa,
Soy Sauce,
100g Pork,
One Pepper,
100g Mushrooms,
100g Cherry Tomatoes.

Put the quinoa in the sauce pan and cover with boiling water then let simmer for 10 minutes.
Whilst this is happening, chop the pepper and mushrooms then dry fry the pork for 3 minutes then add the veg.
Drain the quinoa and add the soy sauce. You can also add Woucester Sauce if you like it sweet, or tabasco if you like a bit of heat. Mix it up then add it to the frying pan, chuck in the cherry tomatoes so they soften.
Stir it together for a minute and it's good to go!
You can bump up your greens by serving on a bed of spinach if you want, or even add some leaves to the frying pan to wilt it.
And there you have it, a nice little meal for about 350 calories!
