Add in some more variety with these alternative dinner options!
There is bound to be a day where you don't fancy the dinner set out for you in this plan, or perhaps you just don't like one of the meals. So we compiled a list of seven more dinners for you.

Inspired Cuisine Tomato Pasta Bake (488 calories)

Out of these alternatives, the chicken jalfrezi ready meal is one of my favourites. Very tasty!
I love creamy sauces so, the spinach and ricotta cannelloni always gets a thumbs up from me.
With the chicken stir-fry, it doesn't come with any noodles or anything so I chuck a load of beansprouts in it just before I've finished cooking it, bulks it out beautifully with hardly any extra calories.
