2 week meal plan

I haven't added anything for a while and thought this might be a nice thing to add. each fortnight I try to do up a menu plan before i go and do groceries. I consult with my many cookbooks and make it up from there (or my head). This one is for the week starting 29th May. I have also done a shopping list which I will add here.

Each meal is worth about 250-400 calories each. it is based on my daily diet of around 1200-1400 calories a day, for men it should be 1800.

if you would like to follow this plan you could use taste.com to get recipes or use the various books i have used: crunch time cookbook , Michelle Bridges, the no excuses cookbook, Michelle Bridges, OMG! i can eat that, jane kennedy, everyday cooking 2009, weight watchers and rivercottage everyday, hugh fearnley-whittington.
