Sorry I'm a bit late getting back to this, damn essay deadlines

How about things like stir frys, or home made egg fried rice with veggies and low cal spray?
I'm also obsessed with the laughing cow extra light cheese triangles on toast. I make all the normal stuff I would eat, but just reduce the amount of anything high calorie in the dish (so if I have a pasta bake I make sure I only have a little bit of pasta, but loads of the veggies and sauce or whatever). I could probably go on forever with suggestions, I think I think about this too much, but I enjoy my food!
Every recipe can be tweaked to be lower cal. The slimming world recipes are good for inspiration, but can be even lower cal if you just tweak them slightly.

Try food replacement... after two weeks you will be fantasising about anything and everything and the simplest meal will seem like heaven!

I tried cambridge diet last year, I didn't want to eat, and definitely wasn't hungry, but stopped after about a month because I was seriously rediculously obsessed with food.
If i added a meal for the day I'd obsess about how I would cook my chicken and what salad/veggies to have it with.

I feel your pain with the boredom. My lifeline has been a huge cookbook by Mary Berry, with pictures, calories counted and recipes for fish, veg, soup, dessert, meats, chicken, baking. Everything is in there and I'm losing weight every month. It's big and bulky but well worth the price. Mary Berry's Complete Cookbook: Amazon.co.uk: Mary Berry: Books
