1. I cook to enjoy healthy food which has good enough flavor to avoid unhealthy meal choices. I also love spicy curries.
2. I rarely plan out by more than 24 hours.
3. I normally cook Indian and South African curries and soups and salads. Lentils are a favorite diet food.
4. Low calories per day. ~1700. It's much easier to stick to a diet that doesn't explicitly forbid anything. I start the day with a calorie-efficient meal (like oatmeal, grapefruit, and/or greek yoghurt) so I can eat better the rest of the day. Learn to cook vegetables in the way you like to eat them and your health will improve.
5. Cook a large batch of meals which reheat well to last several days. Many curries and chilis actually taste better the second day after they thicken in the fridge.
Use high quality, fresh, in-season ingredients for great results. It's SO worth it!
