Last week the meal plan was designed for someone who likes to spread the calories more evenly across the day. I eat like this if I am worried about my energy levels or if dealing with situations which might tempt me to break the fast day if I got too hungry at any one point of the day.

But sometimes I like to save a big chunk of the calories for one main meal either to fit in with a particular activity I'm doing or to be able to eat a relatively normal meal with another person who is not following the intermittent fasting diet.

This week's intermittent fasting meal plan idea is for days when you want to use the majority of your calories for the evening meal. But it does give you some small meals and snacks during the day as well.

*Men you can choose where to add in your extra 100 calories - perhaps a little more food at breakfast or lunch, or an extra portion of soup, or a portion of boiled potatoes at dinner.

Fast Day 1:

Breakfast: Black coffee or hot water with a slice of lemon, a quarter of cantaloupe (50 calories)

Snack: Ten pistachios (50 calories)

Lunch: 1 cup of miso soup (40 calories)

Dinner: Tarragon Chicken Parcels  plus half a cup of steamed carrots and half a cup of steamed green beans    (360 calories)


Fast Day 2:

Breakfast: Black coffee or hot water with a slice of lemon, half a boiled egg (40 calories)

Lunch: 1 apple and half a boiled egg (130 calories)

Dinner:   1 cup of butternut squash soup, followed by Smoked Salmon Pitta Pizza plus small garden salad (330 calories)
